Nothing on tissue after bowel movement, clean swipe? what could cause this?

Great. Why question?: Stools dessicated, less mucus, diet changes, altered microbiota, altered GI transit? Need lots more information from you to place your question in context, but what you've described is not a bad thing. Here's maybe a helpful website: http://www.howtowipeyourbutt.com/
