A member asked:
I've been told that people need 3-5 wipes. after pooping i often have to wipe 20+ times. is something wrong with me or are others just unclean?

Combination issue: Please ignore the 3 wipe story you heard. Everyone is different. Do what is needed to be clean. If the wiping is usually excessive, like the 20+ times, maybe you are being excessive in trying to be clean beyond what taking a shower and washing there would do. We can obsess about anything in response to stress. Don't irritate the tissue by wiping too much. Peace and good health.
