My boyfriend is disgusted by the way I clean up after using the toilet
NOT one to just use toilet paper, a woman has admitted her bathroom routine wiped the smile off her boyfriend’s face.
He can’t get over the particular way she cleans herself after going to the bathroom, but people think this is a sign of her partner’s poor hygiene, not hers.
Reddit user Throwra_bidet couldn’t contain her annoyance at her boyfriend’s reaction to the way she regularly cleans herself after pooping.
The second-generation immigrant has been living with her boyfriend for two years and they recently started living together.
She admitted in a after that he made her feel dirty for using her hands to wash her ass with cheap tools.
“I am naturally discreet about my bathroom habits. Since my parents were Indian, we usually have a bidet attached to our toilet seat after doing number two,” she wrote.
She added that her childhood home had an adjustable extension since things are “different” in the United States.
Since the move, they haven’t discussed adding a bidet to their living situation, nor has it been a priority for them financially.
In the meantime, she has a portable handheld, which can be purchased online for less than ten dollars and “functions about the same.”
This Portable travel bidet costs $8.98 on Amazon and is easy to use.
The Reddit user said that while looking for something in the bathroom drawers, he found her bidet and asked what it was.
“At first he was surprised and I thought he was just curious so I didn’t think much about it until I answered how I use it,” she wrote.
To paint the full picture, she explained the step-by-step process in the post.
After wiping her bottom well with toilet paper, she washes the area with her hands.
She said she holds her bidet with one hand and squeezes it repeatedly to squirt the tap water out of the sink, while she rubs her butt with the other hand.
She then added that she patted the area dry again with toilet paper before performing a seven-step process of thoroughly washing her hands twice with soap.
“I don’t see it any different than washing your butt in the shower after you poop,” she added.
Her husband was “immediately” disgusted by her visual description, which left her feeling “dirty” and “confused and hurt” about using her hands down there.
“Have I ever shamed him for using TP? [toilet paper] exclusively? No. I just request that we both wash there before having sex,” she said.
“Now he just makes me feel like he did something horrible by holding my hands and kissing me.”
She responded that her hands may even be cleaner than his and speculated that her boyfriend probably doesn’t wash his own hands after holding his penis while urinating.
She eventually admitted that she was annoyed and wanted to yell at him for being “ridiculous and childish.”

Many Reddit users defended her and spoke about her partner’s cleanliness.
“You just did what you feel most comfortable with so your hygiene feels clean. The fact that he sees you as disgusting when you wash your bottom could have a lot to say about his hygiene,” one person said.
“Do what you need to do to feel clean and take care of yourself. Your friend is really overreacting,” wrote another.
“You’re doing fine, your boyfriend is a childish jerk, and you’re right when you say you’re probably much ‘cleaner’ than him during his after-the-bathroom activities,” one reader commented.
