Yeah, why is that if you wipe to vigorously and get scratches around your butthole, it doesn’t get infected by all the poop ?
Im pretty sure they can if deep enough.
how come my butthole doesn’t get infected after I get micro-tears
Because my oral hygiene is very good.
superhero whos entire body is a butt. never gets diseases
Dammit, Assy
MCGEE, IN MY OFFICE NOW
Shouldn’t this be in lemmy shitpost?
Those of the shitpost delegation accept that this post is shitty, but do not grant it the title of shitpost.
They do. It’s why you have an immune system. You’re literally being attacked millions of times per day but keep it in check.
Ahem…kept in cheek😆
good one!
insert plug for a bidet
Insert corny joke about plugs and bidets in same sentence
Insert butt plug
It can happen. And when it does, it can be horrendously painful and hard to treat.
The gist of it is thicker skin, stronger immune system presence down there, higher blood flow down there.
You would stop getting butthole scratches if you started using a bidet. Gah. Americans are so gross.
bidets are slowly catching on in America! my parents got one like seven years ago, and if I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d get one too lol. they’re rare (and there’s none in most businesses) but eventually we’ll get there
You can get a bidet that attaches to virtually any toilet for like $30. Pretty easy to install/uninstall in most cases too. Check out Luxe bidets. I’ve had good luck with them.
if they involve the plumbing in anyway, it’s not allowed at my apartment, otherwise I’d get one!
Sure – you know best for your situation. Just throwing it out there that it’s normally just an already-exposed water line that you turn off, flush the toilet, then disconnect and put the bidet inline, then reconnect. So it’s not really a high risk thing. See this video if you’re interested at all: https://youtu.be/4SDpzj6wTMQ?t=249
I’ve installed and uninstalled these things in like 7 apartments now I think :) No one ever told me I couldn’t, but if they had I probably would have done it anyway since I’d make sure it was done right and did not leak.
hmm, I may give it a go then
I wanted to get one of these butt my wife said no so that was the end of my dream. I use cottonelle butt wipes like a savage instead 😞.
butt my wife said no
lol at that spelling
Lol it was intentional 😂!
signature look of European superiority
Explain to me how not using a bidet is an American thing? I’ve traveled to many countries and rarely seen a bidet. I know several Americans who use bidets, myself included. Just got back from Europe actually, where I witnessed zero bidets. Glad I took my portable one.
Also why are you assuming op is American?
We had bidets in France in the 80/90s but it’s not a thing anymore.
Yeah I haven’t seen them in France on my trips there. I really have only seen them in the middle east and I also saw (a very old school) one in a hotel room in Italy.
Buy better toilet rolls, quilted ultra soft from good brands. Your butthole will thank you.
Tell that to my workplace. They have the worst toilet paper in there. I won’t pass on an opportunity to poop on the job, best possible use of my time.
For a while I took my own toilet paper to work it was that bad
Seconded.
Also, a bidet.
Certainly would make getting those blumpkins more pleasant
When the tissue you’re wiping with gets torn, you need to use another one, not continue with the torn one.
People still not using a bidet in 2025… smh
Bidet pulled out of the race late 2024. Read the news.
home ownership is a faraway dream for a lot of people, and apartments generally won’t let you install one :(
I always forget to bring my bidet with me when I go on a trip!
If you’re joking, you should buy a portable bidet and keep it in your luggage.
Do you wipe with a cheese grater?
I don’t understand how you are scratching you brown eye when you wipe.
1-ply public washroom paper is not far off a cheese grater, so…
Hank Green asked this about anal fissures and had a bunch of doctors replying. From what I remember your immune system is different in different parts of your body and your body is prepared to handle it down there. Unless your immune system gets compromised then it can get infected.
Oh yeah, this is also the case with our eyeballs, right? They have their own little immune system in there.
Eww that could explain how that Doctors Without Borders guy recovered from Ebola but then they found it still living in his eye. https://www.science.org/content/article/ebola-persisted-doctor-s-eye-months
That’s scary.
The skin on your body isn’t uniform; it’s at varying textures and thicknesses in different parts, and its absorbency varies in different parts, as well.
The skin around your anus is very resistant to infection due to its particular mixture of these properties.
So we have thick a holes?
(insert fat joke)
(also insert insertion-into-rectum joke)
(also insert rectum-no-dang-near-killed-em joke)
Reads like a strange dialect of lisp.
I just tried to turn my comment into a lisp joke, but realized I don’t really know lisp as well as I used to 35+ years ago, and I’m not going to reteach it to myself for the sake of a joke. Sorry. 🤣😂
