I have trouble understanding how bootyflakes would be plentiful enough to be visible on a toilet seat. Was the seat somewhat adhesive? Was the person's skin actually sloughing off in that big of flakes? Even if there was sufficient contrast in the color of the toilet seat and the person's skin, that's a lot of skin to lose at once on a normal toilet seat! Why isn't the bootycleaner helping us?

Or DJP, who first documented the flakes?

Imagine a pudgy, ashy black dude with questionable hygiene
Now imagine him leaving a ring on your toilet seat

as a white dude who wears a lot of black I understand the need to scrub/moisturize

One time I was getting a pedicure from a woman with very dry arms. Every once in awhile she'd pause to scratch at them causing a snowstorm of arm flakes to float down into the soaking tub. Towards the end she commented about how she doesn't know why her arms are peeling but they are so itchy, as she scratched and shed all over my feet.
I came very close to Yelping that day.

I have no comments regarding booty flakes but I think that it is a good idea to try to not have them.

I was hoping you'd have something to say about the science/mechanics of bootyflakes.....but thanks, a booty cleaner. that seems like sensible advice.

― home organ, Thursday, 31 December 2015 05:38 (eight years ago) link
does a booty cleaner secretly abhor people who clean their own booties, in the same way that gas station attendants abhor drivers who patronize self-service stations and cashiers abhor shoppers who use self-checkout lanes? by offering free booty cleaning advice on a public message board, is he basically admitting the futility of seeking payment for professional booty cleaning services in our current economic times?

(or maybe he's peppering this thread with misleading advice in an effort to sabotage our amateur booty cleaning routines and drive us back to the booty cleaners with cries of 'what have I done wrong!?' I hate to cast aspersions on his character, but it's clear from the last exchange that he is either frustrated with his lack of business opportunities or morally outraged at our lives of quiet defecation)

i've had kids for 5 years now, and since then i've had baby wipes in the house and clean a lot of butts with them. it occurred to me early on after my older son was born, when changing a diaper, why don't i use these? since then i cannot imagine wiping my ass with just plain toilet paper, it feels so savage and unclean, so now we keep baby wipes in each bathroom and i keep them in my desk at work, too. if i know i'm going to take a shit somewhere besides my house or work, i make sure i take them with me. i haven't figured out what i'll do when my younger son stops wearing diapers and we don't have an excuse to buy baby wipes but i cannot imagine going back to those gruesome earlier days.

The issue with flushable wipes is that they're not.
I'm pleased to introduce the term 'fatberg' to this esteemed thread.

^^^ baby wipes are evil and full of plastic, sorry y'all I know they are awesome
they represent probably the single biggest source of waste/plastic in the festival compost that I help to process

xp from the bidet thread for "posterity"
i bought a bidet attachment at the start of the pandemic in the midst of the great 2020 TP shortage but my toilet's water tank valve had limescaled shut like a vice, requiring a plumber and a world in which I felt comfortable letting a plumber into my bathroom. About a month ago, we finally had the entire toilet replaced and the bidet attached at the same time. I can definitely avow this as a major quality of life improvement.Questions answered:* No electricity necessary.* The bidet doesn't use water from the toilet tank. It comes from the same pipe that feeds your faucet.* You may need to get a new toilet seat; I found this $25 Kohler model worked well.* First few days of first-time use definitely engendered a HEY WHAT'S GOING ON THERE sensation but you adjust super fast.* Warm water would absolutely be preferable but as an apartment renter whose toilet is not adjacent to the sink and opted for the base model, I can tell you that you get used to cold water even in the middle of the night whilst half asleep.* Yes, it absolutely does get you fully clean without using toilet paper at all, though you have to give it about 20 to 30 seconds to spray.* You can dry yourself lightly with toilet paper (which reduces usage by a factor of 3-5 btw) or you can air dry for a minute or two and that generally gets the job done. Added bonus: I am finally finishing reading those old issues of National Geographic.* The base model has a "nozzle wash" function which you can activate before and after use. It appears to keep the apparatus well cleaned and clear of clogs.* There's a bit of clean water overspray on the underside of the toilet, but maybe i just need to adjust the angle? That's about the biggest hassle attached to use. Requires a single pane of toilet paper to mop up.* For those with hangups about potential colonic penetration: I suppose you could, with work, double yourself up to shoot a jet of water up your own ass but given the angle of the nozzle it's not something that's likely to happen on accident.* I am finding this works very well with a toilet bench/squatty potty.For anyone with Crohns/Colitis/hemorrhoids, sensitive or fissure-prone excretory bits, or just general pruritius ani, i cannot recommend this enough. Several long-standing issues with itching and abrasion disappeared in the space of two weeks.There's an argument to be made against Tushy's hyper-millenial, pro-asshole marketing approach, but the bottom line (oy) is they sell a $90 model that works and should be easy enough for almost anyone to install without a plumber. If you have the kind of structural problems that I did, a plumber should be able to fix and plug this in well under an hour and for less than a hundred bucks. I daresay you'll be able to save $150 on toilet paper within one year of installation.https://hellotushy.com/products/classic-affordable-bidetNB: I am a male human without female parts and cannot speak to women's experience with a bidet in general or this model in particular... though i would appreciate a woman's POV on this to share with my partner who continues to view the device as a superfluous addition to the bathroom and considers it a potential source of UTIs.
