From a hygiene perspective, wet wipes win. For a more effective clean, wet wipes win hands down. For a more soothing and gentle cleansing experience, we’ll have to go with wet wipes again. From a cost perspective, toilet paper comes out ahead.
Considering this, are baby wipes bad for your bum?
The skin around the anus is very delicate and should not be scrubbed or rubbed but gently cleaned with warm water. Wet wipes should also be avoided. Colon and rectal surgery expert Professor Alex Ky said: “Skip the baby wipes, too; they clog toilets and can cause allergic reactions to the delicate skin in the area.”
In this way, should you use baby wipes after you poop? When diarrhea is persistent or severe, keeping the anus clean can be difficult, particularly if it is sore and red. In such cases, you can use baby wipes or wet wipes that are gentler on the skin. Alternately, wet toilet paper or a wet washcloth can usually do the trick.
