I don't know about America, but in Singapore we use toilet papers. We wash our hands after that too.

And in Sweden we always use toilet paper.
And then wash our hands after that with soap and water

we use the water and clean with the hands and it is just cleaning another part of the body and i think water is the best way to clean and use a Dettol hand wash to clean the hands....i think difference of culture

Did you not have toilet paper to clean your bottom with? I've heard of cultures that use their hands then wash them but I've never met anyone that did this.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1352)   ranked 776 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

99% of my country does this..and it is perfectly all right..sense of hygine varies..we feel toilet papers are not really very hygenic and water actually washes off 100% and so no itchy bums..i think it is a mindset..not necessary all think alike..views and culutre always vary that is why discussions come out..have a nice day.

People have different customs. In Mexico, they don't flush the paper because the systems can't handle it in some places, at least according to a lady I knew from Mexico. They put it in a trash can. People in the U.S. find this disgusting, but it's just how another culture does it based on necessity.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1352)   ranked 776 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

we use the water and clean with the hands and it is just cleaning another part of the body and i think water is the best way to clean and use a Dettol hand wash to clean the hands..a tissue wipe can actually lead to some itchy bums and it is kind of messy ..bcoz i tried cleaning my son when he was six months old and he landed up with rashes and poor baby kept crying so i thnk water is actually the neatest..it is how it is here..we go yuck at the thought of tissue paper and keep wondering is it actually clean or is this guy stinking..i think difference of culture


myLot reputation of 97/100. dragon54u (3387)   ranked 1,681 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

I'm very sorry, I thought the first reply didn't go through and didn't mean to reply twice! Thank you for the information, it's a strange custom to me but that's what makes the world so interesting. happy

Can I ask what country you are from? Yes, we use toilet tissue in the states. I want to be sure I don't end up in a country where I would have to use my hands. I'm not sure I'm ready for that! And I'm old!


myLot reputation of 45/100. darkjedi (2000)   ranked 3,186 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

Hell I dont care if your young, I wouldnt want to do that, so gross. And they are in india. You know the country that are taking our call center jobs and others.


myLot reputation of 74/100. wearmanyhats (100)   ranked 5,807 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

Ah, I don't care about jobs going to India, because so many come back to the U.S. I've been around a while. For a long time people complained the jobs were going to Mexico, then it was Japan, then it was China, then it was Vietnam, now it's India. But I find this toilet paper issue sort of interesting. It's just different customs and what you are used to.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1352)   ranked 776 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

well i am from India..and dont worry all hotels do have toilet papers bcoz many foreigners visit our country so u will never find a hotel without a toilet paper ...only thing a toilet paper in not really on the household list of monthly purchse..we use the water and clean with the hands and it is just cleaning another part of the body and i think water is the best way to clean and use a Dettol hand wash to clean the hands..a tissue wipe can actually lead to some itchy bums and it is kind of messy ..bcoz i tried cleaning my son when he was six months old and he landed up with rashes and poor baby kept crying so i thnk water is actually the neatest..it is how it is here..we go yuck at the thought of tissue paper and keep wondering is it actually clean..i think difference of culture


xushanna (67)   ranked 19,798 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

I use water and toilet paper. I don't think toilet paper is enough. At home we have this little hose that is place beside the water closet, it looks like a hand shower but smaller. I don't know if you have it in your place, but here you can buy it wherever bathroom accessories are sold.


myLot reputation of 89/100. MsTickle (6007)   ranked 353 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

My toilet is in a room by itself...and I know some toilets are in the ground and to use it you have to squat...but there is no other water available other than what you have just done your business in. So how do you get the water to wash yourself in this instance?

k...if you want a history,the toilet paper thing started in china.That was started in 6th centuary A.D......Yes..china.
Then bidet came into use.But still in the US people use toilet papers.
Toilet papers are actually different from other tissue.They dicompose into septic tank.also one is supposed to flush the used toilet papers once done.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1352)   ranked 776 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

Interesting! Where are you and do most where you are do it that way? Im in america. I have toilet paper and wet wipes. for extra dirty jobs. they are usually used to wipe babies.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1352)   ranked 776 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

well i am from India i think it may vary from country to country more cutural..but the hotels here do have toilet paper rolls for the tourists to use..local will not use it..this is the way it is done here..i think it is more hygenic..


myLot reputation of 56/100. jdyrj777 (730)   ranked 4,049 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

I have known people that have traveled overseas before so i have heard of countries where people do that. Of coarse being a spoiled american i think i need paper and wipes. There were times i had to go in abush and use leaves. Ouch, i bit rough. I always try to carry a few tissue in my bag.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1352)   ranked 776 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

leaves must have been rough..anyway i think we all ought to be different someways when we all are so far off on the planet..have a nice day..

You use your hands to clean your a** after taking a crap? Eww that is so gross. Americans use toilet paper because that is the clean way and civlized, that is so gross to use your hands.


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1352)   ranked 776 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

well that is how you feel Indians find i gross using a toilet paper is it actually clean or just wiped...our is 100% washed off for sure..u have a chance of something sticking in still bcoz it is a wipe...i think it varies from region to region and the ways may vary..bottom line is to keep clean and hygenic..


xushanna (67)   ranked 19,798 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

But you also need to use water and not just toilet paper. It feels gross with just toilet paper and you never know that your crap is on your underwear, ewww. Toilet paper is not enough to clean, water is more hygienic.


myLot reputation of 56/100. jdyrj777 (730)   ranked 4,049 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

Of coarse each culture has its own way of everything. Also each think their own the best way. Im sure both ways are just fine. I do use toilet paer (being american) however i also have baby wipes there for that wet cleaning we all need.

i'm from malaysia, and of course use water to clean it, to me using water is more praticle than tissue paper. Besides spending more money, sometimes the tissue paper will easy to make your toilet bowl stuck and problem. Tissue is only practicle if there is no water supply to clean it


myLot reputation of 93/100. nupats (1352)   ranked 776 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

yes dear we do the same as u but i dont think tissue clogs the toilet bowl..and i think it is more hygenic to wash off..have a nice day..


myLot reputation of 56/100. jdyrj777 (730)   ranked 4,049 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

Maybe there are just places where plumming isnt as great as other places. Varies from household to household actually. And the amount of tissue a person uses.
