Personal Hygiene

[Dick Cheese]

With all the wars in the world being fought over supposedly religious reasons and all of the natural disasters killing thousands of people every year, here's a question that's stumped me for ages. . . . . . How do the larger members of society wipe their lower regions after doing their business? Seriously, I'm not having a cheap laugh at larger people, I really am interested, cos surely their arms don't reach?

[tubeway]

I am overweight - but how fat would you need to be that you could not reach - you would do better worrying about the wars (or what is wrong with your head - this can't be a normal subject)

[teag1rl]

Dick Cheese, are you Fish Kids alterego?

[Dick Cheese]

Absolutely not! He wrongly refers to overweight people as fatties, whereas I refer to them as �Larger People� as to not cause offence! I really am being serious, just want to know how they can reach!

[Batty Boy]

Maybe they can't reach thats why they have that musty smell that they try and hide it with sickly perfume.

Actually i watched a programme the other night about this guy who was really really super obese, something like 86 stone... anyway he could only lie on his bed and that the voiceover said that he has faeces up his nails etc and gets covered in it sometimes.... I dont quite know how as they never elaborated.

Also, another documentary on blokes that were called feeders, feeding their woman so they are literally bed bound - although they didnt have sex they said they had some intimacies, but the husband also had to wash and take care of her sanitary issues.

Another programme, god I watch too much Discovery channel - was of another overweight woman, not super size but just quite big - i.e. Dawn French who contracted some sort of infection because she couldnt reach hands round the back and apparently was wiping up between her legs and transmitting stuff round to her nether regions!.... so I dont think it was a bad question, its just one of those curiosities... we all have them!

[teag1rl]

yeah, that fair enough, I don't think it was a bad or offensive question, I just thought, my god, people wonder about some weird things! anyway, I'm better informed on the subject now!

[happi_red]

Its a question I always wondered! Also how to "larger" women have sex? Won't their large legs squash "it" before "it" actually gets where "it's" supposed to be?

I did'nt find Dick Cheese's post offensive. His question came over as polite and sincere. I watched a programme about a man who weighed 28 stones. He was confined to bed and his 2 young sons had to clean him and see to his sanitary needs. At other times he would "Wash" himself with a thick towel wrapped around a long thick cane. Not nice for those youngsters.

I once worked with a larger member of society and rumour was he had a stick with a scrubbing brush attached to the end, along the lines of what FINA describes.

regarding FishKids last comment, why is that bad for a stick with a brush thing? Isnt that what we just in a bath anyway to scrub your back? ... do you mean they use it to wipe bums/other areas? please explain...
