Jaybowel, any thoughts on Kleenex or Cottonelle wet wipes? They're specially designed to replace toilet paper... or do you prefer the heavy duty nature of Wet Ones?

I use Cottenelle and find that 1 or 2 in conjunction with a few normal TP wipes will help sooth the beast. I usually use some normal TP first to grap the big stuff then a wet one to clean and sooth then more normals to dry up and make sure the zone is clear.

I have heard about the wet wipes, but have yet to come across them in a store near me. Wet Ones are everywhere. (they're baby wipes and can always be found with diapers in any store) There is also something nice about the near 1/4" thickness of the Wet Ones.

i like to shhit:)

bob = newbie

I know that the cottonelle sort is flushable, but are baby type wet ones equally easy to dispose of?

I have pooping painful, horribe poops. Sorry, to be some brutally honest. I typed in "painful pooping" in a search, and this website came up. It actually made me feel better to know that I am not the only person with this problem!! It was especially soothing to see that your so comical about it, it definetly lifted my spirits to say the least. Anyway, the pooping is driving me crazy. I've always pooped nicely with no pain, but lately my poop is weird shaped, with knife-like corners and such. My question is, is this normal, or am I dying? Or could it ve because of crapy eating. Please help me JayBowel!!!! ~Jessica

WOW JB...LOL I will never think of you the same again. ;)

Hey McCarthy, you ever been told you look like Ron Jeremy? I saw the pic a while back- striking resembelence you know.

No, he does not look like RON JEREMY!! ::shiver:: That's nasty!

whatever it must of sucked

Forget toilet paper, wet wipes, moist tissues...nothing beats using fresh water to clean up right on the toilet itself. Wipe with toilet paper to get rid of the big stuff first, then spray some water and pat dry if necessary. Its awesome! Check out www.handyspray.com

There's nothing like the grunt-plop-splash of dropping bricks. When I wipe, all I want to see is back-splashed ass water and a healthy pool of blood.

I use a make-shift bidet by using one of those rubber hoses with the sink attachment to wash your hair in the sink. They cost $8 at Walgreen's. Just take off the hair wash part, and next time you make a doody and after (if you want) some preliminary wiping, turn your sink on to a nice temprature, (I should add this only works if your sink is right next to the toilet) hold the end of the hose in the toilet, and attach the other end to the sink. Then you can wash yourself just like in the shower!

DON'T use Wet Ones unless you like dealing with stopped-up toilets! I purchased a box of these not long ago, and quickly dealt with three plugged poopers before I figured out what was going on. But then just last week I paid $550 to have the main drain from the house snaked out! (After the stinky sewage had backed up into the basement!!) Wet Ones do NOT dissolve sufficiently enough to be used in toilets!! Warn your friends and family !!

'tal sounds like a bunch of poop to me. I find it's best wipe it up with Charmine ultra soft. My fanny likes the soft touch. (in case of emergency, a corncob works just fine.)

All right, for those of you with the brick bomb, heres the trick... fiber. That's right, you get that daily dose of fiber, and I guarantee no sharp edges, no brick shapes, nothing but soft, slippery grogans! You see, fiber in your colon absorbs water, and prevents it from being reabsorbed by your body. For natural fiber, I suggest switching from white to wheat bread, lots of veggies. Or if youre into the artificial type, Metamucil. One packet in a glass of OJ, stir well, and shotgun it. You wont taste it and it goes down easy.
And oh yeah, dont use wet wipes, they don't flush. They instead have special ones that can flush. Look for them in your local mega-wearhouse drugstore chain.

Thanks for all the input on wipes...I was looking for an answer to if wet ones are flushable, and now i know that theyre not, hopefully the toilet wont clog since ive been using them or else ill have to deal with my mom.

I think maybe it would help if everyones would drink more water

I think maybe it would help if everyones would drink more water and eat more food with fiber

It is worthy to note, as has been hinted at before.. that WetOnes makes a wipe specifically for personal hygene which is intended to be flushed. Don't use the regular wetnaps, but instead, keep a box of the flushables (clearly marked "Flushable") next to your John. Your bum will thank you.

POOP PROBLEMS REALLY ARE INCOMPLETE DIGESTION, SO ADD 2 BETAIN HYDROCHLORIDE WITH PEPSIN TABLETS TO YOUR MEALTIMES, ONE AFTER 2 OR 3 FORK/SPOONFULS, THE OTHER HALFWAY THRU MEAL...MUST BE OBTAINED FROM A GNC STORE...THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT WORK !!!!

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING?!?

And thanks, but no thanks. I don't think nature intended our meals to include interspersed spoonsfuls of anything, except for perhaps condiments.

I've noticed lots and lots of guests end up coming here looking for solutions to medical problems. Perhaps we should start a separate medical section.

If you are one of these guests and your symptoms are really bothering you, please by all means call your doctor.

Practicing the ancient Chinese art of double flushing... because sometimes, a single flush just isn't enough.

I love Wet Ones--they're great...for use on HANDS. For your bum, you gotta use either Kleenex Cottonelle flushable wipes or Scott flushable wipes--both made for your private parts and both flushable--and both work great and make you feel nice and clean down there! :)

I keep a container of WetOnes on the shelf-thingy on my desk in my dorm room. I've never used the type especially for bathroom use. I imagine they work well though.

Anyway, those comments about cleaning yourself down there with water (spray) and bidets reminded me of those toilets that are made Japan and can be found in China and Taiwan. They can be heated, but the fun thing is, there is also a function to clean your tooshie after taking a dump. Just press the corresponsing button with the little picture on it. (you can imagine what those look like. We like to call it (loosely translated into English from Chinese) the "Butt Bath".

I use the flushable ones and add a bit of withhazel in the container for added soothing.

_MSS where do you buy withhazel? I would like to try it.

I love this site it makes me laugh every day

I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!

I've used the moist towelettes at times in the past, ane found them quite soothing--but after regular toilet paper has done the main dirty work. Once most of the poop has been removed, then the towelette can do the final wipe; nice. Ran out of them years ago and never rebought, but maybe I will.
