i've saved an estimated $200 on tp, so far, based on my previous usage. the itchiness from weeks 6-7 has largely subsided, though my ass and butthole do feel kind of hot all the time. idk not a huge deal. the smell isn't as noticeable anymore as you pretty much go noseblind to anything pretty quick. the only time i get a little grossed out is when taking a new shit and the existing shit "pores" on my ass open up from having some additional moisture added, and let out this kind of, gone bad protein powder type smell? like when you don't clean out your shaker cup after using it. on week 9, i had to cut a little bit of poop away since i was having a lot of difficulty getting it out of the hard crust that had formed. i just used an old shower sponge and got some out (still haven't wiped so doesn't count).
