I, uh... I shave hair like 5 cm around my bumhole. Paired with a bidet, you wouldn't guess how much easier it made it to wipe. I used to use 30-50 squares of toilet paper per wiping session, today I can manage with just 10

[–] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago (3 children)

More people should do this, honestly. Getting a hairy bumhole to be clean after a big dump is annoying as all hell.

However... 10 squares of toilet paper? Even with a shaved and hosed down bussy? That still seems like a lot to me

[–] MrVilliam@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It is a lot. I'm a pretty hairy dude who stopped bothering with even trimming my ass hairs once I got a bidet attachment a few years back. 5 is usually enough, sometimes 7. Like 1% of shits require more than that. The other guy is either using way too much tp or he's buying single-ply for some ungodly reason.

[–] demystify@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

No, I actually have triple-ply. I developed a stupid habit of folding multiple papers and using them together, so I wipe with like 9 layers at a time. It helps the paper not break up even being wet, but wastes a lot more overall.

It's like trying to wash a melted snickers bar from a Persian rug

I did not need this image in my mind

a bidet and a waxed butthole are the pandora's box of the bathroom. once you open them you can never go back

Pandora's cheeks

I use hair removal cream for the same effect. Indeed, anything less seems barbaric.

A hairless butthole makes farts really interesting. Someone's they bubble up under your balls

As a dude with very sparse body hair, threads like these always make me feel like I won the genetic lottery.

Damn you. Now go stand in the corner.

[–] Transcendant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

As someone cursed with bum hair, I want to do this. I just cringe at the idea of a shaving cut on my rusty sheriff badge. Did it once and the growback was deeply uncomfortable too.

I bought a Meridian body trimmer a few months back and still haven't raised the courage to use it on intimate areas as it's intended for, ptsd after nicks from my other shaver.

I came here expecting to share about my ears, but will come away expecting to shave my bum πŸ€”
