Do you look when you wipe your ass? If so, HOW?! WHY?! Is this another reason I should be glad I can't see, because I don't have to look to wipe my ass?! I need answers now!
I'm afraid this is the prime example of how common sense goes right out the window for a lot of people asking us questions.

not OP, but when I wipe my ass I look at the paper, and keep wiping (with folded paper or new paper) until the last paper comes out clean. This usually takes 2 or 3 papers, but it grealy varies depending on the shit. Sometimes it's a clean one and it requires 1 paper. If I'm sick then it could need 3-4 papers and a wet nap.
And by paper I mean folded up squares of paper, usually 3-5 squares if it's a good paper. 6+ if it's a public washroom thin paper.
also, this is not something I could "feel" in my ass or smell. Maybe the first two sure, but towards the last few papers it all feels and smelld clean if I closed my eyes, but there might be a few specks of shit. I want the last paper to come out white because I don't want shit on my underwear. It can cause vaginal infections especially if riding a bike or sitting for long hours and the underwear shifts.
how do blind people know if the paper came out clean?

Okay, that clears some things up! I was very worried about y'all for a minute.
I can't speak for anyone else, but when you spend your life blind, yeah, you can feel when you missed some shit. I'm not going to go into details here, but trust me. I know. And if I'm not sure, I wipe again. As someone who hasn't had any sort of skills training or lived experience being blind, you wouldn't be able to sort this out by just closing your eyes and trying to guess at it.
To add to this, anything you have to wipe off your ass smells. If you didn't catch it in the bathroom, you tend to notice not long after. And if you're really off your game, hopefully you have some good friends who will tell you that you smell like shit. :D

You can feel it from the drag and texture. More specifically, does it feel slick when gliding against your ass? Or not

here this is something I added to the comment above:

Ok thanks for responding and not getting pissed haha. That actually makes more sense than anything I could think of.

The question comes up a lot, unfortunately. Many people post questions on here without googling for answers or thinking things through. For most things, there have been adaptations for people with vision loss.

Idk man sometimes it’s like a brown marker and it just doesn’t stop so like what then? And just to be clear it’s just a curious question I don’t wanna piss anyone off.

It is?! Jesus, I'm so glad I can't see right now. That sounds like the kind of thing that would make me never want to eat again.
Another user explained things and I think I understand now. The way this question is worded just really threw me off, ha ha.
