How do the natives living in the "uncivilized" rainforest clean up after number two?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) August 4th, 2011

What is the standard operating procedure for your typical Amazon native? Scott double ply?

This is very important!

I am guessing they simply hop in the river!?

Interesting question. My guess is they use leaves to wipe? I will follow this board since I’m curious as well. : )

I think their diet ensures that they are extremely precise pinchers.

In Merle eastern countries they use water instead of toilet paper. I would assume it’s the same.

Yeah, how is it we do not naturally finish like other mammals? Why the mess?

Maybe they use dice, very good for “craps” i’ve heard.

@Judi I thought you were making a Merle Haggard joke that was way over my head!

As far as I know, it’s typically leaves. Sometimes people use hands, and just wash them regularly with soap or some saponic compound. There also tends to be less clean up when you squat, because that’s how we evolved pooping, and it moves your cheeks out of the way more.

Leaves or water. But I assure you cleaning after yourself with water is much better that toilet paper.
