The preferred method of wiping “is not wiping,” nationally renowned anal surgeon Dr. Evan Goldstein told us — Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson, co-hosts of HuffPost’s “Am I Doing It Wrong?” podcast — when we recently chatted with him. “When you’re looking at someone’s [anus], to the left and the right are these wrinkles ― it’s like an accordion. It gets angry at us.”Instead of wiping, Goldstein suggested cleaning the area without toilet paper. “I’m a huge bidet [fan],” he told us, because it can thoroughly wash the anus without harming it. “You always want to make sure you’re drying yourself,” he added, because moisture in that area can cause irritation.
