Office Life Is Destroying Your Butt

I've read that the culprit is not toilet paper, but the face that we sit when we shit, while we ostensibly evolved to squat. So the bowels don't straighten out as they should, and the excessive pushing leads to pressure which gradually causes blood vessels to bulge over time.

Also, baby wipes work for adults too.

Don’t flush baby wipes, or anything except fences or toilet paper. They clog drains and interfere with the sewage treatment process.

I'm guessing that fences might also be a slight problem for the sewer system.

Just make sure you include a gate.

You could always put them through a meat grinder or dissolve them in acid pre flushing! Just don't use the bath for the dissolving. The tub won't keep the acids contained.

I sometimes use tissues when I run out of toilet paper. I hope that's not a problem ... (?)

Tissues are not designed to break down in water like toilet paper is.

Do you run out of toilet paper often?

“leads to pressure which gradually causes blood vessels to bulge over time”

Genuinely curious, are there any studies that have shown that?

this is one idea I think we can borrow somewhat from third world countries which only have squat toilets (basically a hole in tbe ground)
