When I go to people’s houses, their toilet paper area never seems to have as much of that goddamn dust all over the place. Is it my toilet paper? I swear even when I clean, there’s a film of that stuff that comes up all over the toilet and behind the toilet. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: I have a bidet. You still need to dry your ass and vulva with a bidet. Guests still want toilet paper. Now I’m more concerned - do y’all not have toilet paper just because you have a bidet?? It’s not safe to leave your ass moist!

Sounds like it’s a brand issue though but my partner is unwilling to switch from the ultra soft whatever we have so I guess I’m SOL.

    They all shed at least a little but it’s a brand thing. I buy whatever 2+ ply is on sale with no loyalty (I have bidets too) and some are definitely worse than others for debris when torn off the roll.

    Everyone wipes down their bathrooms before company comes over, and lives with a layer of TP dust and pubes the rest of the time.

    I’ve never had toilet paper like that. I buy supermarket own brand stuff here in the UK. Even when I’ve bought cheap stuff I’ve not had that issue.

    Switch to a different brand. The paper they’re using is bad of it’s flaking off all the time.

    You’re probably buying ultra soft fluffy cloud nothing but air toilet paper. You’re also probably not using a bidet.

      Yeah, thanks, it sounds like you’re right since people using other brands don’t seem to have this issue. My partner is extremely particular about this brand of TP though so I guess I’m just gonna have to live with it.

        Unless it’s an allergy issue just get something else and put it in the old bag. I did this with dish soap until others admitted the store brand at half the cost worked just as well… they couldn’t deny it as they’d been happily using it for months without complaint.

      You still need to wipe after using a bidet. Whether you’re wiping water off your butt or poop, I highly doubt in either case anyone is using that towel on their face afterwards, so it’s moot. You’re either keeping poo towels or you’re wiping with paper that gets flushed with the poo. If you think the former is more developed then so be it, but my diet doesn’t necessitate power washing my asshole after pooping and keeping poo towels is a non-starter for me.

      I don’t understand these things. All I’ve ever tried to use are waaayy too strong and cause water to splash everywhere. I do have an under-the-toilet-seat one and I like that very much, butI never got the hand of the handheld ones

        The bum gun does take some practice.

        You pretty much shuffle forward a little, position the BG behind the disaffected area, at an obtuse angle to your sphincter, ease on, I mean really ease on the gas until you can confirm that all splash is going down into the bowl, finally you can really pucker up and hit it.

        The thing is… you still need some TP to dry off after.

        ah I’ve yet to try the integrated ones ! Regarding the flow, I guess it should be controlled somewhere upstream
