He adds, “If you are having more trouble than that, such as a mess almost every time, you should take a hard look at your nutrition or possibly talk to your doctor ! The last time I talked to my doctor, she was also on a fiber supplement plan almost exactly the same as I was.” I try to generalize it with the comparison that over 10 times you’ve sat down to poop, at least seven of those times should be a simple and clean experience, with three squares or less of TP.” In a Reddit message, he expands on this thought: “Diet for most of us varies, so being perfectly regular isn’t something I tell people to expect. “The rule I tell people,” he explains to another commenter in a recent r/AskMen thread that of course turned to poop talk, “if it takes more than one square 3 out ten times, you need fiber. Now, you can find VoB in the comments of various Reddit threads preaching the ways of the single-wipe lifestyle. This would eventually become normal to me.”

I thought it was a fluke, so I tried again… clean TP. A week later was the first shock: a streak-free, one-square wipe. Gone was the fudge factory, and soft pellet production began. “The first week was filled with gas trouble as I adjusted, but there was an incredible benefit, consistency and ease of my poops.

Eventually he was near WebMD’s recommended daily dosage of 37g of fiber spread throughout the day. Truly the highest caliber fiber one could ever need for a healthy, clean poop. VoB tried everything, all the “types and formats of fiber supplements” you can imagine, but finally settled on psyllium husk products, which is ground up Plantago ovata seeds and pretty much pure, unadulterated fiber. The first step, VoB says, was to better regulate his diet, wherein he discovered a higher, more-calculated way to manage his hunger, and achieve the elusive clean poop.

“I decided that I was going to take major steps to take care of my body better, and improve myself physically to better reflect what I was genetically capable of,” VoB tells me. In short, he wanted to become a one-wipe wonder, the exclusive club of humans whose fiber-rich diets allow them a healthy poop every time and excessive wiping is a thing of the past. They might start running, eating healthier, or in the case of (recently suspended) redditor u/VoyeurOfBliss - “VoB” for short - learning how to fire out a good clean poop without having to wipe more than once. Upon turning 35 years old, many people take strides to better their overall health.
