In ancient times, there was no toilet paper, what did women and men use to wipe their butts after go

As far as I know, the Japanese used wooden sticks to solve the problem from ancient times to modern times, and the Indians still solve it with their left hand. When I was in a hurry, I used leaves to solve the problem, and I guess the ancients also used leaves. As for the women who had to deal with the second aunt every month, there was no paper in the era with cotton and dirt bags.

Before paper appeared and was cheap enough to be used to wipe dirt, the materials used to clean up toilets included water, cloth, leaves, corn cobs, clods of soil, and chips of wood and bamboo.

Make up a toilet map.

In ancient times, even if there was paper, it would not be used to wipe the butt with expensive paper.

I think it's generally best to use leaves.

I've heard that there are also those that use smoothy bamboo chips, and there are stones that are used.

Rich people use toilet chips and bamboo products, wash them after use, put them in cloth bags, and carry them with them. The poor used leaves, clods, stones.

During women's menstrual holidays, before the Han Dynasty, it was necessary to close the doors and windows and fill the toilet with plant ashes, and they could not leave the house until the cycle passed. After the Han Dynasty, menstrual belts appeared, and grass and wood ash were added in the middle of the cloth belts. After use, wash and dry in the shade (traditionally it is believed that women's periods are unclean and cannot be dried) for later use.

Due to the habit of cherishing paper in ancient times, women used menstrual bands until they were gradually replaced by toilet paper after liberation.

Let's use vegetable leaves, it's good, it should be good, hehe.

I guess you don't wipe it, or you have to use a cloth.

Straw paper, that is, the quality of particularly bad paper, at that time there was also papermaking, before the invention should be a stone, satisfied.
