They're closer to the crazy end of the spectrum (that shits only at home and showers immediately after) than most, but I get it, I get it...
dude.. baby wipes are amazing. I'm not a fanatic. I don't carry them around with me. But if they are there, oh my.. what a wonderful day it is. In a pinch, when the consistency is all off and it just wants to smear everywhere, I'll dampen the tissue to simulate baby wipes.


As far as Eastern method vs Western... I think your asshole is def cleaner with the Eastern method, and where this is practiced it doesn't matter that your butt is wet, cuz it's so humid there, it would be wet from sweat in no time. The problem though is that your hand comes in direct contact with feces, and then there is not adequate facilities to make sure your hands are clean when you leave the facilities or that the facilities themselves are clean. Using bar soap with the Eastern method seems like an obvious downfall. That being said, the fact that your hand comes in direct contact with shit, may in fact make for a cleaner populace on average seeing as washing after shitting will be compulsive, whereas I know a ton of Westerners drop deuces and don't wash up afterwards.


Btw, why is the issue that your hand will be dirty if you don't wipe between the shit and shower? The issue should be that you are introducing quantities of fecal matter into your bathtub/shower. At least if you piss in the shower it is sterile... Poo in the shower/tub is just downright gross.
