Blind people: how do you know when you are done wiping your ass? (self.Blind)

I'll never understand why this question is asked so much. Personally, I'm just extra careful. Even if I think I've got everything, I do a little more just to make sure. And since it seems that people want details, the texture is very different when there's shit on your ass than when there isn't. I'm sure everyone can tell the difference, which is why I find it interesting that people still wonder how this is done. Also, sniff testing is fucking disgusting, and nobody does that, I promise.

As someone whos not blind: because it's the one thing were i can't even imagine how it could work. Using the pc, smartphone and so on, theres gotta be an app and/or a special input/output device for that. Finding your way around town, probably by noises, just knowing where you are and using the white cane. Same with finding stuff in your apartment. Okay, shopping might be a bit tricky, but at least not impossible in my mind.
But wiping your butt? Sometimes theres like a dozen whipes necesarry before shit stops comming up and at least as far as i can tell, theres no other indicator then the coloring of the toilet paper on how far done I am.

Well, there goes my sniff test theory.

Randomly stumbled into this subreddit. Wanted to add that when you wash with water instead of toiletpaper you feel that you are clean (much cleaner than you can ever be with crap like toiletpaper - never going back).

I wash with water as well and I feel so yucky without doing so. I am baffled when people somehow think that toilet paper is the better alternative.
I don't even buy tissue. It is way too expensive if you are trying to get a good brand anyways. I am not blind, so when I see people buy cheaper brands, as in they are walking around with $2 tissue at the grocery store and everyone knows how crappy $2 tissue is, I wish that they could save the embarrassment all together by just using water.
If I'm too tired to take a shower, I totally justify not taking a shower because of my toilet hygiene. Go to sleep, wake up the next day and get dressed. I'm good. I'll take a shower when I come back again... (maybe).

So do you shower every time you poop? If so, do you put on the same underwear from before ?
idkdudette 3 points 6y ago
I keep an empty bottle of water on the side of my toilet which I fill up and clean myself with.
My panties get dirty because of my vagina naturally cleaning itself (because thats what vaginas do) or because I've leaked out of my pad or because I'm sweaty or because I've been... you know, *adulting*.
I've taken a shower to relax in the morning, and put back on the same underwear I wore during the night though (because I took a shower the night before). I consciously broke the habit of changing my underwear just because I wanted to relax in the shower. Those panties are still clean!
What are people's feelings about not taking a shower in the morning? Someone told me that was gross once. I was raised to take showers at night. But his argument was even just laying in bed for 7 hours called for a shower. Really??
How often do people change their underwear?
Side note: Floyd Mayweather only wears a pair of boxers once. Like we're all wearing dirty underwear according to him. lol.

So you take a shower after you crap?
userNr2 3 points 6y ago
No, I use water from a bottle to wash myself on the toilet. Also modern toilets with built in bidet functionality exist (especially in Japan). But for your everyday toilet a bottle of water is enough.
obligatory_poot [OP] 2 points 6y ago
How exactly does this procedure go? Do you bend over on the toilet or do you put the water on a rag and go from there?
userNr2 1 points 6y ago
Simply bend a little and pour the water from the bottle slowly with one hand in between your butt cheeks from the bottle above. Directly onto yourself so that the water flows over your skin and gets where it needs to be. With your other hand wipe away under the water flow until it feels clean.
No extra rag because that would only complicate things. You don't always have a rag or several and you somehow would have to dispose it. Toilet paper is no option because is useless when wet. Also the friction from toilet paper and rags can be unpleasant. Your hand is much softer and more exact for the job.
You can use the toilet paper to dry your butt a bit if you want.
One hand stays clean and the other doesn't so use the clean hand to pull up your pants and touch whatever you need until you can wash your hands and refill the bottle.
I use a short one liter bottle that can easily be placed under the tap in the sink to be refilled. 0.75 liter is also enough but sometimes a little bit more is nice/useful. Instead of transporting the bottle just leave a filled up bottle everywhere you need it (at home, work, ...).
For the first few days you will feel/be very clumsy and it will feel very unusual so that you maybe think that you can't live like this. But you will adapt very fast and it won't be a problem anymore. Soon you will notice the difference and feel very dirty when only using toilet paper.

Better to wipe too much than too little. However, think of this for a second. I find it quite curious that me, a blind person, has learned how to wipe his ass all by himself! It's a miracle! I like to think that, if every person with sight all of the sudden went blind, they would have shit covered asses for a long time. haha

We probably would lol.
