I, uh... I shave hair like 5 cm around my bumhole. Paired with a bidet, you wouldn't guess how much easier it made it to wipe. I used to use 30-50 squares of toilet paper per wiping session, today I can manage with just 10

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (3 children)

More people should do this, honestly. Getting a hairy bumhole to be clean after a big dump is annoying as all hell.

However... 10 squares of toilet paper? Even with a shaved and hosed down bussy? That still seems like a lot to me

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is a lot. I'm a pretty hairy dude who stopped bothering with even trimming my ass hairs once I got a bidet attachment a few years back. 5 is usually enough, sometimes 7. Like 1% of shits require more than that. The other guy is either using way too much tp or he's buying single-ply for some ungodly reason.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

No, I actually have triple-ply. I developed a stupid habit of folding multiple papers and using them together, so I wipe with like 9 layers at a time. It helps the paper not break up even being wet, but wastes a lot more overall.

It's like trying to wash a melted snickers bar from a Persian rug

a bidet and a waxed butthole are the pandora's box of the bathroom. once you open them you can never go back

Pandora's cheeks

I use hair removal cream for the same effect. Indeed, anything less seems barbaric.

A hairless butthole makes farts really interesting. Someone's they bubble up under your balls

I came here expecting to share about my ears, but will come away expecting to shave my bum πŸ€”

Careful, hair there is for a reason...think of how two slices of baloney stick together. Bonus thought: if you do this and work in a hot/humid environment cornstarch will be your best friend.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

This is true. You will no longer be doing any sneaky farts when you lose nature's muffler.

for me butt hair and pubes are far more uncomfortable than being hairless in hot weather. also getting rid of armpit hair stopped like 90% of my bo when I sweat, and smooth legs make socks far more comfortable. at this point I'm all for less hair in places that aren't my head.

that said I'm fairly thin and don't usually have chafing problems with or without hair in places, and I also either wax or use an epilator so anything growing back comes in slower and softer than the stubble you get from shaving. now that sounds like a nightmare between the cheeks

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Electric clippers set with the lowest hair guard = no stubble. Everyone reading this needs to know options are available, you don't need to be stinkey pete

As a dude with very sparse body hair, threads like these always make me feel like I won the genetic lottery.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Damn you. Now go stand in the corner.

As someone cursed with bum hair, I want to do this. I just cringe at the idea of a shaving cut on my rusty sheriff badge. Did it once and the growback was deeply uncomfortable too.

I bought a Meridian body trimmer a few months back and still haven't raised the courage to use it on intimate areas as it's intended for, ptsd after nicks from my other shaver.
