Funny answer: their dog won't let them leave the room if they smell too much.
Slightly serious answer: bidets are magic.

If there were bidets everywhere, I'd be willing to leave my cave more often.
Using a public bidet sounds like an awful idea.
It's easier than waddling over to the sink and fitting my ass in there.
This is why I'm banned from Sea World.
But you don't make as many friends.
Have you seen Perfect Days?
Go live in Japan. Literally bidets everywhere even in public places. My butt had never been so consistently clean.
I did for a year. Squat toilets in public places.
I only saw the squat toilets in more remote places but anywhere in the cities had bidets.
I saw them in schools, train stations, parks, etc., all over Hiroshima city.
Taste the paper
That's like evil Skittles
The lick test.
There's an app where you can have a seeing person help you. I think its meant for shopping and navigating places but I don't see why they couldn't be used as paper checkers
Are you thinking of Zoom/Teams?

How can you not tell by feel?
If the shit tickets don’t stick to the wall the asshole isn’t poopy anymore.
Is this the answer to the mystery of the state of public bathrooms?
Yes, it's all blind people's fault.
I got this far down the thread before stifling a laugh at work. Well done.
They smell the paper.
Ever since I learned this I started doing it too, because it’s more effective than visual inspection alone.
This whole thread is nothing but jokes. The real answer is they wipe their butthole with their finger and then press their fingers together to feel if it's at all sticky.
Even people with functioning eyes miss some sometimes.
Get yourself a travel bidet <$20 on Amazon, and start with that. You use warm tap water from your commode.
No installation, but a bit of practice.
My proctologist ranted about general bad wiping habits in the US that damage the hemorrhoid tissue over time. Don't spend your life in sin and misery as I have in the House of the Rising Sun, and stick to only dabbing with bathroom tissue, and use bidets to do the heavy cleaning.
Preach.
I personally don't ever have to look and I'm glad I don't have to
You sound more confident than you maybe should :P
Lot of jokes here, my brother repeatedly has told me he is disgusted by the fact that we look at toilet paper to tell if we are clean. Granted he would have to get the TP very close to his face to be able to see anything. He says he just wipes until he is clean. Not an exciting answer, but that's what I got.
Years ago, I saw this question and someone commented on Reddit that they bring wet wipes with them when they go out.
Bidet no need to look or wipe.
How often do you visually check your butthole when wiping?
We are all blind in the bathroom, my friend.
Every. Single. Time.
This. Who doesn't?
??? Wtf people, check yo ass, jesus
Fuckin christ, dude. Get some hygiene.
I have a live feed camera in my toilet. Every time I take a shit, I get out my phone and watch the footage so I can inspect both the turd and my asshole and plan my wiping strategy accordingly.
You check the paper, not your butthole
Please speak for yourself.
Huh? How do you check it if not with the paper?
They insert a finger to see if there's any more mush.
