Anal cleansing is the hygienic practice of cleaning the anus after using the toilet, especially after defecation. The anus and buttocks may be either washed with liquids or wiped with toilet paper or other solid materials. In Muslim and Hindu cultures, water is usually used for anal cleansing using a jet, as with a bidet, or splashed and washed with the hand. A common hand technique is fill one hand with hot soapy water and wash the anus thoroughly until a desired comfort is achieved. Some people follow this up with toilet paper afterwards for drying purposes. In other cultures (such as most Western countries), wiping is done with toilet paper or similar paper products. In low-income settings of developing countries or during camping trips, materials such as vegetable material, mudballs, stones, sticks and leaves are also used. Although wiping from front to back minimizes the risk of contaminating the urethra, the directionality of wiping varies based on sex, personal preference, and culture. Having a hygienic means for anal cleansing available at the toilet is important for overall public health. The absence of anal cleansing material in households can in some circumstances be correlated to the number of diarrhea episodes per household.〔Herbst, S. (2006).

In some parts of the world, especially before toilet paper was available or affordable, the use of newspaper, telephone directory pages, or other paper products was common. The widely distributed Sears Roebuck catalog was also a popular choice until it began to be printed on glossy paper (at which point some people wrote to the company to complain). With modern flush toilets, using newspaper as toilet paper is liable to cause blockages. This practice continues today in parts of Africa; while rolls of Western-style toilet paper are readily available, they can be fairly expensive, prompting poorer members of the community to use newspapers. Sometimes a gel or foam is applied to paper to clean pores and moisturize skin. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Forte, Delfi )〕 People suffering from hemorrhoids may find it more difficult to keep the anal area clean by only using toilet paper and may prefer washing with water as well. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anal cleansing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
