I've always been concerned about the bum wiping thing for ordinary, everyday people. The way I look at it is that wiping is a short-term expedient given that there is no other option, but the offending area should be washed as soon as possible. Hence bath, shower or better yet for washing in between showers, the good old bidet.

After all if you spill, say, tomato juice on your arm, leg, hand or whatever, you wouldn't just wipe it off with a piece of paper - I'm sure most of us wouldn't feel properly clean until you've had a wash.

So how come shit on the nether regions is OK?

And I will definitely look at the long-nailed fashion queen in a different light!

cheers, Terry
