I share space with my partner and we are both very clean in general.

I certainly haven't done biological analysis, but in practice I'm totally clean afterwards. Doing a basic visual and smell test, the towel is definitely clean. Far cleaner than had I used TP. We just throw the small towel in the clothes wash after use and keep a clean stack near the toilet.

Haven't bought toilet paper in many years, wouldn't go back.

Ah I see. A stack of towels is very different from “a towel”.

I cant bring myself to get rid of tp especially for if guests come by, but imagine towels do a better job of drying than paper.

It isn't like you get that wet either. I don't know how big or hairy your butthole is, but it isn't like I'm getting a giant part of my body soaking wet.

It is just a couple drops of water after you shake off. If you're wearing underwear, it isn't that big of a deal if a couple drops of water get on there. You probably sweat more than that into your clothes each day.

People make a big deal out of something that really isn't.

First thing I do when I move is install a bidet (bought the house I’m in now, so just replaced the toilets with fully integrated ones).

Not buying much tp any more of course, but it still serves a purpose.
