In this section, we discuss a very sensitive issue which most people are either too shy to discuss or lack the forum to discuss it.
Before I started working at the hospice, I never knew that elderly people could be having difficulty wiping their asses after visiting the toilet. But they do and unfortunately most of them want to keep it secret. I have one mantra, “If it is affecting you, talk about it.” So my advice to all those who might be having brown hands after visiting the toilet, have a bad odor after doing the biological activity is that they need not fear. They are not alone. So many people are having this type of difficulty and unless discussed, you will find that it continues eating into you.

We will also be discussing the best ways to wipe either through the use of toilet paper or wet wipes for adults that actually disintegrate. We can also not forget the use of bidet toilet seats especially for the elderly and disabled people who have decided to join the ‘no wipe but wash revolution’.
