I've read that the culprit is not toilet paper, but the face that we sit when we shit, while we ostensibly evolved to squat. So the bowels don't straighten out as they should, and the excessive pushing leads to pressure which gradually causes blood vessels to bulge over time.
Also, baby wipes work for adults too.
- fastbeef 8y agoDon’t flush baby wipes, or anything except fences or toilet paper. They clog drains and interfere with the sewage treatment process.

- strongbond 8y agoI'm guessing that fences might also be a slight problem for the sewer system.

- postpawl 8y ago“leads to pressure which gradually causes blood vessels to bulge over time” Genuinely curious, are there any studies that have shown that?
- AznHisoka 8y agothis is one idea I think we can borrow somewhat from third world countries which only have squat toilets (basically a hole in tbe ground)
