Alas, I am instead referring to those bits of toilet paper that stick around after weve finished wiping.

Mushy poop (which no doubt leads to over-wiping) can be another reason we end up with leave-behinds.

Dr. Goldsteinalso suggests opting for a bidet, which can help you sidestep the TP conundrum altogether.

Ultimately, toilet paper leave-behinds are not a huge deal.

Nobody teaches us the right way to poop, you know?
