Sometimes we all need a little help with #2.
So, since we have to do it, whats the best technique?
It closes, said Goldstein, who is also the CEO and founder ofBespoke Surgical.
When we wipe, where do we wipe?
Usually front to back thin skin!
We all wipe so much, so what happens over time?
People tear the skin.
It gets angry at us.
Instead of wiping, Goldstein suggested cleaning the area without toilet paper.
He also recommended a quick shower or rinse if you dont own a bidet.
This is also one of the reasons why he is firmly anti-wet wipes.
They are so terrible not only for the environment, but for your hole, he said.
Theres so many companies out there throwing wipes and I think they should all be banned.
Thats because using them can change the microbiome of that area of the body.
Think about it we have good bacteria, we have bad bacteria, but they are in homeostasis.
They are in equilibrium.
Wet wipes fuck that in a really bad way, Goldstein said.
I see ridiculous dermatitis [in my patients] … bacterial infections.
… Now that youve messed up that microbiome, its causing so many problems.
And that means less potentially problem-causing pressure on the delicate area.
The body senses that, Goldstein said.
Instead, we want to get vertical again as soon as possible to relieve that pressure.
So, you poop, wipe once or twice [while seated], finish standing up.
The blood starts to leave [when you stand up].
The mechanism starts to go back to the normal, daily [position], Goldstein said.
There are some people that its harder [to wipe] when theyre standing, he noted.
They dont feel like theyre getting the full hole.
But we dont need to go all up in there.
I always say, Its not butt health; its gut health.
If you have gut health, you will automatically have butt health.
