I try to find home-compostable disposables, which I can just throw in my compost pile, and eventually adds organic matter and nutrients to my various garden beds and pots.
Nearly all clothing contains synthetics, which I do not want in my soil, so I try to buy higher quality, more durable clothing.
I do not do humanure composting, and just buy the cheapest toilet paper :)
I generally try to avoid disposables if there's a practical alternative.
A bidet will cut way down on toilet paper use. Source: im an alcoholic man who loves greasy spicy food, and used to use a ton of toiletpaper. Now its often a one or two wipe job.
I wash my butt in the shower right after a shit and then just dry up with a towel as I do after any shower. Somehow, I don't even mind the water being completely cold if it's just my butt hanging into the shower. I do I eat a lot of fibre though.
Y'know, I've heard about people who do this and I really am fascinated. Do you strip naked every time? Are you standing outside the shower and doing a sort of twerk position to point your butt into the stream or do you properly get into the shower to do this?
I have a shower-tub combo, I just sit on the edge and point the stream at my butt.
