Edit: as some comments have mentioned, the bidet is the better way to go. Much of the world doesn't use toilet paper. But, you may not have access to a bidet!
- mbg721 5y agoWhen topics are social taboos, it's easy to miss out on some basic knowledge. However, in this case it's also possible to miss out on physiological variations and assume somebody just isn't wiping their butt properly.

- oblak 5y agoYou're spot on regarding hygiene, especially men. I haven't seen what people do with toilet paper but I am shocked and appalled almost every time I see a co-worker use half a tree to wipe the hands they didn't even wash but only dip into water for a second or so. I get not caring about hygiene but the waste is infuriating.

- heeton 5y agoThey're washing their hands. They do this at the communal row of sinks common in most public bathrooms (in the US and UK at least).
- oblak 5y agoToilets and kitchens, how else would I? I understand the "red flags" and downvotes. Pointing this out to people is never applauded. Hardly surprising
