Toilet Paper Leaves Behind Fecal Traces<\/h2>\n

Using only toilet paper when wiping your butt can leave feces behind. This can lead to various health conditions like infections and UTIs. Toilet paper moves feces but it does not completely remove it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toilet paper removes the feces, but using water will clean everything thoroughly<\/a>. It is disgusting to touch the feces directly, so it is best to first clean with a tissue and use water for thorough cleaning. Make sure that you wash your hands with soap and water afterward.<\/p>\n

Excess Use of Toilet Paper Can Cause Health Issues<\/h2>\n

Using toilet paper in excess can cause severe damage to the sensitive skin around your butt. This practice can also lead to health problems<\/a> like urinary tract infections (UTIs) and anal fissures. Washing with water is a healthier practice.<\/p>\n\n\n

You can also harm your butt by wiping it too aggressively. It can chaff your butt<\/a>, and it will take some time to heal. It can be very uncomfortable, especially if you are sitting down. No matter how soft manufacturers claim their toilet paper to be, it can still chaff your soft-skinned butts. The skin on the anus is quite delicate and thin. Dry toilet paper can be abrasive, and wiping it many times or in any harsh actions can lead to painful tears and bleeding.<\/p>\n

Moreover, some toilet paper contains bleach. Chlorine bleach can be toxic, and if accumulated, it can lead to various health conditions. Using water<\/a> is a safer and gentler way to clean your butt.<\/p>\n

\u2705 Video – Toilet Paper or Water to Clean Butt<\/h3>\n

The video below talks about the difference between using toilet paper and water to clean your butt. For a demonstration, she uses a makeup foundation and a mirror. She put a dab of foundation on the mirror and wipes it with a tissue. The tissue merely smears the foundation in the mirror without wiping it completely.<\/p>\n

Next, she uses wet wipes to clean the mirror. It is easier to get rid of the foundation using wet tissue. She added that if you do not have wet tissue, you can also water to wipe your butt. For more information, you can watch the video below.<\/p>\n\n\n
