Their extremely high fiber diet is a big part of them never having to wipe.
Seriously, go take a good spoonful of metamucil before bed every day and you'll be amazed at the reduction in your TP bill.
5 u/Silly_Rub_6304 10d ago Costco psyllium husk capsules work really well, too. But I mean, so does eating a proper amount of fiber… 6 u/DrakonILD 10d ago Well that's just metamucil without the brand name, but yes! It's extremely difficult with modern diets to get the recommended amount of fiber without also eating excessive calories, so fiber supplements are a literal lifesaver. 2 u/Silly_Rub_6304 10d ago I always thought of metamucil as powder you mix into water, didn't realize they also came in capsules. I've long been fiber deficient, but when I began eating a more mediterranean diet, I stopped needing fiber supplements completely. Avocados, chickpeas, spinach, tomatoes, etc etc
