[QUOTE="Robo, post: 878774, member: 31043"] Is the use of paper and other objects to clean ourselves purely a Western thing? In many parts of the world the left hand and lots of water is all that is required ;) And Yes I have tried it, when I had to, as that was how the local toilets were equipped. Hole in the floor and a big bucket of water or hose. It works fine. I just feel the need for lots more water and soap to wash my hands! Seriously though, if you have plenty of water, (a stream of water is ideal like from your water bottle) it works fine..... Actually far more hygienic in many ways when you think about it. (just remember to eat with your right hand) Someone once compared the Western habits like this............. Imagine after dinner, merely wiping your dishes with paper and putting them away. Yuk! :eek: [I]Top Tip. If travelling in countries without Western style toilets, which apparently are very bad for the body's natural motions anyway, always carry a bit of TP for blotting dry....
