沒有衛生紙，我們怎么生存？網友回答：“水是清潔臀部的最好工具”
How will we survive without toilet paper?
譯文簡介
有三個關鍵的方法，都與水有關。
正文翻譯
There are three key ways, all involve water.
有三個關鍵的方法，都與水有關。
有三個關鍵的方法，都與水有關。
An actual bidet. It''s a bit costly as it''s a separate structure in your bathroom. Or some people get the fancy toilets with buttons and stuff that have it included.
一個真正的坐浴盆。這有點貴，因為它是你浴室里的一個獨立結構?；蛘哂行┤速I了帶按鈕之類東西的高檔馬桶。
The next is more ideal, a pressurized jet spray. Aka, health faucet. Aka, butt hose. It's just a five minute installation connecting it to the water line, then hang it over the side of the back of the toilet. No drilling, virtually no setup.
下一種更理想，加壓噴射。也就是衛生噴灑器。也就是洗屁股軟管。只需要五分鐘的安裝，把它連接到水管上，然后把它掛在馬桶后面的側面。無需鉆孔，幾乎無需安裝。
The third is best if you're in a pinch. Take a measuring cup and fill it about halfway with water. Lean forwards, pour the water slowly down the spout with your right hand, and, as the water hits your butt, use your left to help the water remove the debris/poop.
在緊急情況下，第三種方法是最好的。取一個杯子，盛半杯水。身體前傾，用右手將水慢慢倒出壺嘴，當水打到你的屁股時，用左手幫助水沖走殘渣/糞便。
It may seem gross at first glance, but I promise you it's super effective and you will not have poop on your hand when you finish. You're not scratching the poop off, you're just helping the water remove everything.
乍一看可能很惡心，但我向你保證它非常有效，當你用完后，你的手上不會有便便。你不是在刮掉便便，你只是在幫助水沖走所有東西。

Think about when you wash dishes. If you use a dry sponge, a lot will be left on the sponge. If you use a wet sponge with running water, most will flow naturally leaving minimal leftovers on the sponge.
想想當你洗碗的時候。如果你用的是干海綿，海綿上就會留下很多。如果你使用帶有流動水的濕海綿，大多數會自然流走，在海綿上留下最少的殘留物。

I was thinking about getting one of those bidet toilet seats, but a butt hose would also work. I’ve come to realize that our toilet paper custom is sort of inferior and gross, and I’m sure many Indians are horrified.
我想買一個那種坐浴盆馬桶座圈，不過洗屁股軟管也可以。我意識到我們使用衛生紙的習慣有點低劣和惡心，我相信許多印度人會感到震驚。
Most of us when going abroad can adjust to the food,climate,work culture, loneliness, anything …….. but not TP. We need the butt hose and nothing else comes close.
當我們出國時，大多數人可以適應食物、氣候、工作文化、孤獨感等等，但衛生紙卻是一個例外。我們需要洗屁股軟管，沒有任何替代品能夠媲美它。
But I don’t think I want my butt hosed.
但我可不想被沖屁股。
Water cleans better than paper
水比紙更清潔

The hose works well in warm climate only. Unless your cold water is luke warm its a miserable experience
這種軟管只有在溫暖的氣候下才能正常工作。除非你的冷水有一定溫度，否則這是一種痛苦的經歷
Yeah, it’s ice cold in Seattle in the wintertime, and basically cold all year long. That’s why some people have those fancy bidet toilets which warm the water and the seat for you.
是的，西雅圖的冬天很冷，基本上全年都很冷。這就是為什么有些人有那些花哨的坐浴盆馬桶，它為你加熱水和座位。
My Airbnb hosts in Stockholm simply connected the jet spray with the wash basin tap. You simply turn on the wash basin tap with whatever temperature of water you prefer!
我在斯德哥爾摩的Airbnb（一個租賃社區app）房東只是把噴霧器和洗臉盆龍頭連接起來。你只需打開洗臉盆水龍頭，用你喜歡的任何溫度的水!
It's not fancy. Costs barely $300 here in Australia, meaning it is half that in the US. Best thing ever.
這并不花哨。在澳大利亞只需300美元，這意味著那是在美國的一半價格。這是有史以來最好的東西。
Honestly, it's not a big deal at all. I live in the Seattle region too (Eastside to be more precise) and this Indian butt doesn't mind ice cold water hosing it down every day. The first winter it was a shock to the system but I'd much rather have a clean and powdered butt (okay, joking on the second part) than worry about cold water splashing down my nether cheeks. Of course, I'm not that fancy to be worth the extra $1000 to pay the plumber to extend the hot water line and get an extra hi-fi Japanese toilet seat bidet attachment.
老實說，這沒什么大不了的。我也住在西雅圖地區(更準確地說是東區)，這個印度屁股不介意每天用冰水沖洗。第一個冬天，這對整個系統來說是一個沖擊，但我寧愿有一個干凈的和撲粉的屁股(好吧，在第二部分開玩笑)，而不是擔心冷水濺到我的屁股。當然，我可沒那么想花1000美元請水管工來延長熱水管道并買一個額外的高保真日本馬桶坐浴盆附件。
I understand your agony. But there is a solution. By installing a T-shut off valve which mixes hot and cold water you can be kind to your bum. Go to the local Plumbing store to get Hot- Cold mixer shut off valve.
我理解你的痛苦。但有一個解決辦法。通過安裝一個t形關閉閥來混合熱水和冷水，你可以善待你的屁股。去當地的管道商店買冷熱混合器的關閉閥。
In the USA most all homes are built/equipped with a central hot-water heater/tank and then the pipes through the home sends the heated water to the kitchen, clothes washing machine, and bathroom sinks, baths, and showers. Between uses the hot water in the pipes cools down to ambient temperature. In my apartment, when I turn on the water in my shower it takes about a minute or more for the heated water from the tank to replace the ambient water in the pipes and then also heat the pipes until there is an established flow of consistently warm/hot water reaching my shower.
My shower is equipped with a Hot-Cold mixer valve. If I had that type of setup to clean my stinky backside I’d be wasting 2 to 3 gallons (7 to 11 liters) of water per “cleanup” just waiting for the water to be “comfortable”. Btw, I live close to Seattle.
在美國，大多數家庭都建造/配備了中央熱水器/水箱，然后通過管道將加熱的水送到廚房、洗衣機、浴室水槽、浴缸和淋浴。在使用期間，管道中的熱水冷卻到環境溫度。在我的公寓里，當我打開淋浴時，水箱里的熱水要花一分鐘或更長的時間來取代管道里的水，然后加熱管道，直到有一個固定的溫暖/熱水流到我的淋浴處。
我的淋浴器配有冷熱混合閥。如果我用這種裝置來清理我的臭屁股，每次“清理”就會浪費2到3加侖(7到11升)的水，只是等待水變得“舒服”。順便說一句，我住在西雅圖附近。
But even if the water is ice cold your butt will not be frozen in an instant. We Indians use the same chilled water we get through our pipes for everything. Some ruggedness is always good for your body and don’t worry you’ll be fine.
但是，即使水是冰冷的，你的屁股也不會瞬間凍僵。我們印度人用的都是我們管道里的冷水清洗一切。一些粗獷行為對你的身體總是有好處的，別擔心你會沒事的。

All across the middle east too, when I went to live in berlin i was horrified with the reality of not having a “cleanser" as we call it, but I was already prepared with some sort of portable hand spray called “freshbuzz”.
A friend just drilled 3 holes to the top cover of a plastic bottle and filled it with water, and whenever he squeezed water would sprout it strong enough to shake poop off the body but bot too strong to actually hurt you.
Of course these things are very personal and 3every one had their own, but a handheld cleaner like option 2 is much better.
在整個中東地區，我們也是這樣做的。當我去柏林居住時，我對沒有我們所稱的“清潔器”的現實感到震驚，但我已經準備好了一些便攜式手噴器，名為“freshbuzz”。
一個朋友只是在一個塑料瓶的頂部蓋子上鉆了3個孔，然后灌滿水，每當他擠壓時，水就會噴出來，足夠強勁以震掉身體上的糞便，但不會太強勁以真正傷害你。
當然，這些東西非常私人化，每個人都有自己的方式，但像選項2這樣的手持清潔器要好得多。
When I was told Westerners use toilet paper to clean I thought it was a joke. Later I realized it is real.
當我被告知西方人用衛生紙清潔時，我認為這是一個笑話。后來我意識到這是真的。
Oh yes, I can imagine. It is gross. Some people carry moistened wipes to use in addition to paper. But then they flush them and it’s not great for the pipes.
哦，是的，我能想象。太惡心了。有些人除了帶紙外，還帶濕紙巾。但是他們會把它們沖水，這對管道不好。

I guess your toilet paper industry is the one to blame. Anyone would know a greasy substance is cleared better with a stream of water than a paper towel.
我猜你們的廁紙行業是罪魁禍首。大家都知道，用清水比用紙巾更容易清除油膩的物質。
Yes I’ve seen one of those bidet toilet seats here in Montreal and my first reaction was that it’s really an overkill. The bum gun is the best or you smaller installations of bidet that fit over the toilet and are really not expensive at all.
I’ve done it in the past but now I simply refuse to clean my butt with paper. My choice is option 3 and if you know how to do that you can navigate toilets outside home too by carrying a bottle. Lol.
是的，我在蒙特利爾看到過一個坐浴盆馬桶座圈，我的第一反應是它真的太夸張了。如果你想在馬桶上安裝一個小型的坐浴盆，那么這個坐便器是最好的，而且一點也不貴。
我以前也這么做過，但現在我只是拒絕用紙擦屁股。我的選擇是選項3，如果你知道怎么做，你也可以帶著一個瓶子去外面的廁所。哈哈
Yeah, I've come to terms with it though. I start by flushing the poop, then dipping the paper into the water and then using that to clean myself. Feels clean, and doesn't feel itchy afterwards.
是的，不過我已經接受了。我先沖洗糞便，然后把紙浸入水中，然后用它來清潔自己。感覺很干凈，之后不會感到發癢。
Yes,we are. Why waste paper ?A mug full of water is enough to serve that purpose. It's more natural.
是的，我們就是這樣。為什么要浪費紙張?一個裝滿水的杯子就足夠了。這樣更自然。
Well Caroline, some of us Indians do use toilet paper but is always followed by water n then the thorough hand wash that I mentioned earlier. The paper concept suits more when used after peeing.
嗯，Caroline，我們印度人中有些人確實會使用廁紙，但通常之后再用水沖洗，然后像我之前提到的那樣進行徹底的手部清潔。紙張的概念更適合在小便后使用。
Health faucet? Butt hose?
We use the cooler name here, BUM GUN!
衛生噴灑器？洗屁股軟管？
我們這里用一個更酷的名字，屁股槍！
I prefer ass hose.
我更喜歡屁股軟管。
We here just use a normal name: pipe.
Like, no kidding. It’s just pipe here where I live
我們這里只是用一個普通的名字：管子。
就像，不開玩笑。在我所在的地方，它只被稱為管子。

All Brazilian bathrooms have butt hoses. It's so weird to travel abroad and not find them…toilet paper it's only used to dry. Never to clean.
所有的巴西浴室都有洗屁股軟管。在國外旅行卻找不到廁紙真是太奇怪了……廁紙只是用來擦干的。從不用來清潔。
I am amazed that this is even a question on Quora. In India this is a basic necessity. Toilet paper is just to dry off your butt.
我很驚訝這竟然作為一個問題出現在Quora上。在印度，這是基本的必需品。廁紙只是用來擦干屁股的。
I have been using option three since childhood. Which makes the toilet paper mania mildly amusing to me.
我從小就一直使用第三種方法。這讓我對廁紙狂熱有點好笑。
Or you could buy one of these bidet seats
cost 75$ to 200$
easy to install and the Kohler ones are really fancy!
或者你可以買個坐浴盆馬桶座圈
售價75美元至200美元
很容易安裝，科勒牌的那些真的很漂亮！

very helpful
非常有幫助
Being an Indian, it’s so funny reading the 3rd point and wondering how paper actually works in cleaning without making use of the universal solvent.
作為一個印度人，讀到第三點很有趣，而且想知道紙是如何在不使用通用溶劑的情況下進行清潔的。
Nothing cleans that butt like water.
沒有什么比水更能洗干凈屁股了。
I promise you Nigerians roar with laughter at this toilet paper craze in the West. Even those who live in the West don't get it either. It's just paper. No big deal. Any paper would do, if you must have paper. Otherwise, use water. In fact, some of us can't be bothered to buy toilet paper ordinarily. It's easily affordable, but it's hardly as effective as water.
It's so hilarious that it's such a big deal to anyone anywhere.
我向你們保證，尼日利亞人會對西方的廁紙狂熱大笑不已。即使是那些生活在西方的人也不明白。只是紙而已。沒什么大不了的。如果你一定要用紙的話，任何紙都可以。否則，用水。事實上，我們中的一些人通常都懶得買衛生紙。它很容易負擔得起，但幾乎沒有水那么有效。
這真是太滑稽了，對于任何人在任何地方都是。
Funny how ppl get disgusted with poop once its out of the body. They dont realise tht same poop was inside, touching every surface of our colon.
有趣的是，一旦糞便離開身體，人們就會對糞便感到厭惡。他們沒有意識到身體里面有同樣的糞便，接觸著我們結腸的每一個表面。
The issue is that very few people in India use the butt hose properly. Each and every public toilet I have been in has had a soaking wet floor as people are spraying that damn thing everywhere, so essentially, the detritus of whatever the butt hose washed off is on the floor, and inevitably, on other body parts. So now, you may have a clean arse, but your feet and legs are probably covered in butt crap. But, in my rather extensive experience of India, this goes very well with the national ethos of being seen to be doing, rather than actually doing something that could help.
問題在于印度很少有人正確地使用洗屁股軟管。我去過的每一個公共廁所都有濕漉漉的地板，因為人們到處噴灑這個該死的東西，所以基本上，洗屁股軟管沖洗掉的任何殘渣都會掉在地上，不可避免的，也在身體的其他部位。因此，現在你的屁股可能很干凈，但你的腳和腿上可能覆蓋著來自屁股的垃圾。但是，根據我在印度的豐富經驗，這與被視為在做事，而不是實際做一些有幫助的事情的國民性非常吻合。
it is very hygienic to use a butt hose or a mug/ cup as it is the best way of cleaning your butt hole and nothing is left stuck to your butt hole .
使用洗屁股軟管或馬克杯/杯子是非常衛生的，因為這是清潔屁眼的最佳方式，沒有任何東西會粘在你的屁眼上。
I just use the water sprayer.Just yeet the water and it takes everything with it.
我只用噴水器。只要噴水，它就能帶走所有的東西。

Thanks for this vitally important post.
I have a lot of admiration for the sense of innovation, industry, scientific temper and problem solving ability of the Western world but I still cannot understand the toilet paper thingie despite being cognizant of the cultural differences.
I have borderline OCD on personal hygiene but I've always had problems with the same issue in European Airports. No spray, no bidets….Jesus!
感謝您的這篇至關重要的帖子。
我非常欽佩西方世界的創新意識、工業精神、科學氣質和解決問題的能力，但盡管我意識到了文化差異，但我仍然無法理解衛生紙這件事。
我在個人衛生方面有強迫癥，但在歐洲機場我總是遇到同樣的問題。沒有噴霧器，沒有坐浴盆…天哪！
Which is why you don’t eat with or exchange money or other items in much of Asia. The left hand is unclean.
這就是為什么在亞洲很多地方不能用手吃飯、交換錢或其他物品。左手是不潔的。
That is why you wash your hand after using it.
這就是為什么你用完后要洗手。
The left hand isn't unclean. People WASH their hands with soap! What you don't understand is that the left hand is considered inauspicious NOT unclean, although because of the same reasons.
Even centuries ago, when there weren't any soap, people use to scrub their hands with soil and ash and then wash with water to get it clean.
左手并不是不潔的。人們會用肥皂洗手！你不理解的是，左手被認為是不吉利的，而不是不潔的，盡管因為同樣的原因被視為不潔。
即使在幾個世紀前沒有肥皂的時候，人們也會用泥土和灰擦洗手，然后用水清洗干凈。
Soaps and shampoo were introduced to west by Indian traders, and at that time is was very common among indians but limited to western elites. Also, there's countless mentions of Sandalwood or Turmeric soaps been used by Indians in stories.
肥皂和洗發水是由印度商人引入西方的，當時在印度人中很常見，但在西方僅限于精英階層。此外，印度人在故事中無數次提到檀香木或姜黃肥皂。
Yeah, but those could not afforded by the common people in India either. It was for the wealthy.
是的，但是印度的普通人也負擔不起這些。它是為富人準備的。
If we even try to learn foreign travellers accounts on Indian kingdoms, say Kalinga far in East(the present day Odisha) they had farmers who used to export their produces towards southeast and an average farmer in their kingdom used to have doors and windows made up of gold in their house. Farmers in indian history were not poor like west used to have.
Indians mostly had sizeable numbers of middle class in their respective kingdom because of the stable military and economy until it faced 1000’s years of foreign invasions and their temporary rules. Infact each states in india has countless festivals and the type of celebrations they have, or just the food variety it involves simply shows their history wasn't poor. The value of rupees was still more than dollar when Brits left India.
The idea that humans were civilized or became rich recently because of west is a religious belief from churches and Christianity. Elitism and slavery in India only came after mughals followed by Britishers.
如果我們試著學習外國旅行者對印度王國的描述，比如在遙遠的東部的卡林加(現在的奧里薩邦)，他們有農民曾向東南出口他們的產品，他們王國的普通農民過去在他們的房子里有黃金制成的門窗。印度歷史上的農民并不像西方那樣貧窮。
由于穩定的軍事和經濟，印度人在各自的王國擁有相當數量的中產階級，直到面對1000年的外國入侵和他們的臨時統治。事實上，印度每個邦都有無數的節日和慶?；顒?，或者僅僅是其中涉及的食物種類就表明他們的歷史并不差。英國人離開印度時，盧比的價值仍高于美元。
認為人類因為西方而變得文明或富裕的想法是來自教堂和基督教的宗教信仰。印度的精英主義和奴隸制只在莫臥兒王朝和英國人之后才出現的。
In my culture in Eastern Nigeria (and, as far as I know, elsewhere in Nigeria), the left hand is historically regarded as the toilet hand, so we don't shake hands with it, offer things with it, receive things with it, etc. But that is just a mark of respect. The right hand is literally called “the food hand" in the Igbo tongue. Interestingly, “the right hand of fellowship” appears to be an ancient cultural phenomenon in Europe and the Middle East (the Bible uses that phrase in Greco-Roman times). So, perhaps it is actually a more universal thing than you may be supposing.
I wouldn't therefore put it the way you just did, like the hand is literally unclean. It's just a way of showing respect in general. After all, even if you use toilet paper, you have to use a hand to do it. Traditionally, it would still be the toilet hand. In fact, I was raised to always use my left hand to wipe my butt, and we used toilet paper growing up. Still, it was highly offensive to accept or offer things to anyone, especially your elders with your left hand.
And before you ask, toilet paper has been part of Nigerian culture for a long time.
在我的東尼日利亞文化中（據我所知，在尼日利亞的其他地方也是如此），左手在歷史上被認為是上廁所的手，所以我們不用它握手，用它遞東西，用它接受東西等等。但那只是一種尊重。右手在伊博語（尼日利亞南部的一個種族語言）中字面上被稱為“食物之手”。有趣的是，“友誼的右手”似乎是歐洲和中東的一個古老文化現象（圣經在希臘羅馬時代使用了這個短語）。所以，也許這實際上是一個比你想象的更普遍的事情。
所以我不會像你剛才那樣說，好像手是不干凈的。這只是一種表達尊重的方式。畢竟，即使你用衛生紙，你也必須用手去做。傳統上，它仍然是廁所的手。事實上，我從小就被教導用左手擦屁股，我們從小就用衛生紙。盡管如此，用左手接受或提供東西給任何人，尤其是你的長輩，是非常無禮的。
在你問之前，衛生紙已經成為尼日利亞文化的一部分很長時間了。

It is the same in India - we too consider the left hand as the toilet hand and never shake hands or eat with it.
And the right hand is considered the food hand. Everything auspicious is done with the right.
So yes - the hand system is probably universal.
Don’t ask what will left-handers do - they’re too few to consider changing the norm.
在印度也是一樣——我們也認為左手是上廁所的手，從不用左手握手或吃飯。
而右手則被認為是食物之手。一切吉利的事情都是用右手做的。
所以是的，手部系統可能是通用的。
不要問左撇子會做什么——他們太少了，不會考慮會改變慣例。
