Lower my expectations? On cleaning my butt out? No, I've lowered them before and that just leads to itchiness. I buy toilet safe wet wipes anyway.

Toilet safe wipes? Never heard of such things. Unless it's urine, poop, or toilet paper don't flush it down the toilet.

Most Brits find the idea of bidets and "washing" after pooing ridiculous.

Considering the bizarrely unhygienic method many Brits use to wash their dishes (imagine all your dishes taking a bath in the same water), this doesn't surprise me.

 

[Breakage]

Nah. It's just our tiny bathrooms and antiquated plumbing that makes them rare. We have to improvise using water from the washbasin while remaining seated on the toilet. Almost anything's better than a desultory wipe with dry toilet paper.

I've never met a white English person who bothers to wash after pooing. They have money and big bathrooms, but no desire to install a bidet. They believe plain old toilet roll is "good enough". The only people I know that do have bidets installed (and believe washing is important) are all non-white (south Asians to be specific).

If I find out someone washes their dishes like this; I make sure that I never eat or drink anything when visiting. It is absolutely disgusting.

You mean their hands? That's gross!

The person you're quoting is being snarky but accurate. There isn't a standard for what qualifies as 'toilet safe' so the branding really doesn't mean shit: the truth of the matter is that 'toilet safe' wipes cause just as many problems for waste management systems because they don't break down like toilet paper.

 

[AlexBasch]

Even if it's impossible due to the humidity and all, I want to burn this motherfucker.

Edit: oh that's what you mean with nappies, I thought it was regular toilet paper, went to a restaurant with no trash bin and suggested that paper should be thrown into the toilet and it would desintegrate. For a second there, I thought they were lying.

 

[PJV3]

Don't even need a bidet, just use your shower to wash your ass after wiping. It's not that hard.

I will get a haircut while I'm at it.

 

[Breakage]

Plenty of people here in London don't even wash their hands properly; 5 second soap up followed by 10 second rinse under water seems to be common.

My dad managed a local sewer department and now sells sewer equipment. One of the things he always talks about is that "flushable wipes" aren't really flushable, and this is why.

 

[Stinkles]

I love it that a guy named Rimmer is in charge of this.

God, imagine that smell. I feel bad for the people who have to get rid of that.

Once I accidentally threw a wet wipe in the toilet, went and fished it out (mostly didn't want to potentially fuck up the pipes on this older house).

 

[PJV3]

I'm a little disappointed that my town has lost the festering fatberg record, I will need to start flushing my in-laws nappies down the bog.

Yep. Waste management guy told me the flushable wipes don't break down. He said they probably break down faster than regular ones but they still plug up sewer pipes.

 

[BackLogJoe]

What do you do with a wet wipe after you use it if you don't flush it?

 

[Fallout-NL]

If your anus is so sensitive it requires wet naps, you need to keep those shit rags in a trash can.

You must be joking, that's disgusting.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

Monster Fatberg is my rap name.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

I throw wet wipes down the shitter when I've bad guinness shits or ate something spicy the night before.

I.try not to, but sometimes the needs must

 

[g11]

I always try to wait until I get to work to drop a fatberg.

I'm sure there's a thread on Gaf about this...

I'm not a brit but how else are you supposed to do it? You fill up the sink put the dishes in and clean them. Unless you have a dishwashing machine that is.

How is that not enough?

Echoing this. There is NO such thing as a toilet safe wet wipe. Stop clogging up your sewage lines and polluting the environment with this.

This has been a very educational thread for me. I learned about fatbergs, nappies, and that installing a bidet is both easy and cost efficient!

get a bidet

 

[The Cowboy]

Fatberg is such a good insult.

"Shut your mouth you stupid fatberg!".

 

[crinale]

If the thing is that gigantic I wish someone could come up with a tech that extracts fuels out from it.

Damn, they should at least wear googles and masks

 

[Pagusas]

I hope the people doing this are paid well.

 

[danowat]

God, imagine that smell. I feel bad for the people who have to get rid of that.

8 people have got to spend 3 weeks blasting fatty mcfatberg with jet washers.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Flushable wet wipes aren't flushable, unfortunately.

Earlier this year, the toilet in my apartment had a SERIOUS clog and they had to dig out probably weeks worth of buildup of Cottonelle wipes.

I like to get at least one good wet wipe in, just to ensure cleanliness. But, oh well. Lesson learned. Maybe we should get a bidet.

Same. I'm glad we have some English to American translators in here.

Please tell me all this shit doesn't end up in the sea...

 

[JonnyDBrit]

I'm an oddity in that my home has a bidet, but we never freaking use it. Dad got into the habit of using the the sink for the same purpose. Been considering trying it but not sure on how to use. Like, do I face forward on it, or back? Does one fill up the bidet in general, and if so, how much?

 

[NekoFever]

The smell must be...unimaginable.

I'm fairly sure I remember the last time this happened one of the news sites sent a journalist down there to write an account of the smell, and he said even with breathing apparatus he nearly passed out.

 

[Akuun]

I'm not a brit but how else are you supposed to do it? You fill up the sink put the dishes in and clean them. Unless you have a dishwashing machine that is.

I didn't know people did this. I wet the dish under the faucet if it's dry, scrub it with detergent using a sponge/scrubber thing, rinse it off, then put it on a drying rack.

What in the fuck are you doing in the toilet where that's not sufficient?

 

[Finale Fireworker]

People need to stop flushing non flushable items down the bog. Who flushes nappies down the toilet, I mean really.

This is such an English post. Please don't flush your nappies down the bog. I can't help but giggle.

 

[PJV3]

Yeah, getting splashback in the mouth is probably a tad unpleasant.

 

[MomoPufflet]

They keep branding the wet nap baby wipe things as "flushable" which people don't get is a total lie.

and seriously-who flushes a fucking diaper down the toilet?

Recently spent $600 on a luxury bidet seat. Best money I have ever spent.
