Have you ever considered this?
When you visit ‘the smallest room’ to go and have a poop, it’s not something you feel like announcing to the world. How often you should wipe after a number two definitely isn’t a topic you like to discuss with other people. But have you ever thought about what is normal or best when it comes to wiping after having a bowel movement?
Ideally, you should only need a couple of pieces of toilet paper.

Well, you’ll have a bit of a problem if that happens, won’t you? But really, just a couple of pieces of toilet paper should already be enough. Naturopathic doctor Mirasol Teijeiro explains to podcast Urban Wellness Clinic that ideally the piece of paper you wipe with should come back practically spotless. “You should have absolutely nothing on the paper. You should wipe once, and wipe clean.”
