For many visitors to India, there is a problem. There is no paper in the toilets in India. Do you know what's going on? Do Indians really use paper after going to the toilets? Yes, because they think it's cleaner to use hands, and their habits are hard to change.
Do Indians really need paper after going to the toilet
Yes. Because the general toilets in India have washing equipment, and ordinary people have a cup of water in their hands when they defecate. It is customary to wash their buttocks with their left hand, so they are not allowed to use their left hand to pick up food in shops. Only in the toilets of high-level places where foreigners patronize, can they have toilet paper.
In the early years of reading books, it was hard to believe that Indians wiped themselves with their hands after going to the toilet. After several trips abroad, it was finally confirmed that Indians did clean their buttocks like this. There is no toilet paper in India, and people are not used to bringing their own toilet paper. They all have a sink beside the toilet, which is accessible. After defecation, wipe the anus with your left finger, and then wash your left hand with the water in the sink beside the toilet. So, in India, never shake hands or say hello with your left hand, otherwise, you will think it is a great insult to him for convenience.
Why Indians don't use paper to go to the toilet
1、 First of all, I think it's cleaner to wipe it with my hands. You're right. That's what they think! Indian basin friends don't like to shake hands with foreigners, because they think that people who wipe their butts with paper won't wash their hands. As for the hand wipe is really cleaner than paper, interested basin friends can try it on their own next time?
2、 Secondly, habits are hard to change. It's hard for Indians to change the habit of wiping their butts with their hands, just like we are used to holding pens with our right hands and writing words with our left hands! Moreover, people all over the country are like this, so they can't see anything inappropriate. They think it's natural and they don't need to change at all! Moreover, their toilets don't put paper at all, even if they do It is also used to wipe the hands after dry cleaning.
3、 Finally, do you want to reduce the incidence of hemorrhoids? Indians think that using paper to wipe their butts will increase the incidence of hemorrhoids, and using their hands will reduce the incidence of hemorrhoids. Unlike people in other countries, Indians rarely get hemorrhoids, which has a certain relationship with them not using paper to wipe their butts. Now, isn't there an intelligent toilet cover that can automatically wash the butt? It can also reduce the incidence of hemorrhoids, which is the same reason. Wow, I can't help but lament the foresight of Indian basin friends!
