    Personally I call shenanigans having had executive and standard office chairs made of leather, pleather and nylon mesh.

    None of these are comfortable on the bare butt, and even will get sticky once you start sweating against them, so I’ve always had to drape towels between me and the chair.

    Also do not get leather / pleather if you have cats.

      • In the summer here (July and August during heatwaves) my office goes between 80°F - 90° so no, I don’t wear a thing, hence the towels.

        On my regular furniture, if I’m wandering around unclothed and need to sit down, I’ll drape something, often my briefs, before planting my butt.

      At home I own a leather Secret Lab computer chair. Very nice, but they explicitally warn everyone at before, at purchase and during assembly to not sit on it while naked.

      I know. Straight girls cannot have standards. Or need to fetishize awful shit. Or die alone.

      Edit: to be clear, this is because men are fucking horrible. Straight girls are tragic figures here. I hope someday we find a cure for heterosexuality, for their sake, and the incels.

    Still baffles me how many people are convinced that you can ‘wipe properly/thoroughly/enough’. It’s exactly for that reason that I avoid sitting down in public transportation. Anyone who either possesses the instinct of not wanting to smell like shit and/or has had the ‘privilege’ of cleaning someone else’s butt (say, a small child or an adult in need of special care) knows that the words ‘wiping’ and ‘hygiene’ can only be used in the same phrase if there’s also the words ‘wet’ and/or ‘wash’ and/or ‘soap’ in it. Otherwise…of course your f****g chair stinks.

    I could understand if it smelled like swamp-ass (sweat) from sitting there too long, especially in a chair made of faux leather, but it shouldn’t smell like poop.

    guys, need some help here. my gaming room smells like shit. like literally shit. the carpet used to be grey, but it’s brown now because of the smell. I’ve been wiping my ass on the carpet because I saw my dog do it once and it feels good. my mom has been complaining about the smell for a week now and is threatening to come clean my room. I can’t let her see the room because I’ve smeared my turds on the walls artistically for my viewers on twitch. any help to get the poop smell out, please! if I can’t get the smell out dad said he’s going to force me to get a job!

    I’l been sitting in the same (mesh) chair for >15yrs (Aeron) and have no such problem. That the OP’s response to the GF’s complaint is anger says more about them than they intend.

    TBH I don’t know what that smell is but if it’s related to sweat and ass fluid then cleaning should be fairly simple:

    1. Start with a 70% rubbing alcohol, set the chair on its side and soak then compress / scrub, this step should ensure no bacteria remains and that it dries very quickly for the next steps. You don’t have to rinse alcohol, it evaporates quickly.

    2. Next we’re going to try to counteract gastric and/or uric acids, which is to say hydrochloric acid, by scrubbing with washing soda. If you don’t have access to washing soda then you can either use baking soda directly or turn the baking soda into washing soda by dehydrating it in the oven. Scrub with and rinse out the soda with water.

    3. Final step, to counter any other contaminants, rinse with some amount of acidic cleaner such as vinegar. This will also help remove any soda from the previous step. Rinse out all of the vinegar with water, it does not evaporate.

    4. Dry in a very warm place with lots of airflow.

    5. Wash your ass with soap.

      Worked at vet office, anything like urine or feces must be rinsed off thoroughly or it will smell. Obviously soap is needed too. Enough water and soap will get rid of it, although other cleaners incl enzymatic ones will work faster. No matter what, all that cleaner and soap has to be fully rinsed or it’ll still smell.

      He should powerwash it outside or at a carwash. Or, if in an apartment he could rinse it for a while in the shower.

      I suggest a small alteration:

      Start with 70% rubbing alcohol, set the chair on its side and soak then compress / scrub… fire.

      Buy a new chair.

      Wash your ass with soap.

          No, that would be telling you that the chair stinks because you haven’t rubbed ENOUGH shit into it and big clean is just trying to swindle you out of your money.

          What I’ve described is the revolution solution.

            You sure about that? Burning the chair and buying a new one checks the GOP boxes:

            • More consumerism
            • Less environmentally friendly
            • Pointlessly destructive

            The only thing missing is the big chair company going to your fundraisers and paying you to make people burn their chairs.

              Ah I see. You weren’t making an allegory, you were being direct.

              Sorry I didn’t mean to pique your ideological perspectives by suggesting to burn a chair from a totally different thread as a joke.

        It was implied that alongside cleaners would be rinsing, except for the alcohol, but I guess expecting the readers to have ever cleaned in their lives was too much.

    Friendly reminder, wiping your arse with dry paper is not sufficient to clean it following a dump run.

    A bidet (european style) is best.

    no itchy/smelly bumhole ever again

    • If you can’t afford one, or rent, or wander around, travel bidets are about $20-$30 and are a water bottle with a hook-shaped wand-spout and an air valve.

      My proctologist has a personal vendetta against wiping, and I messed up my piles from ages of wiping too hard. Bidet and dab to dry.

      Bidet crew checking in.

      Mines got hot water. I don’t mean that it’s got a pipe for hot water, and you have to wait forever for it to warm up. I mean it’s got a water heater built in. And a heated seat. And a hot air blower… dryer? Butt hair dryer? It’s nice, especially in the winter.

      Clean your butts, people

          The vivohome with knob, not remote.

          Pressure is great, too much actually, depending.

          I got it because it was the cheapest one with all the features, and in fact is even cheaper now than when I bought it.

          It’s been going strong for 3 and a half years now

        I’ve got a cheaper, tap-cold only version (mainly because that’s the easiest to install without running new plumbing or electrical in that particular location). Honestly the cold water isn’t so bad. It can even numb things up if you’ve been dehydrated and launched a particularly stressful cannonball.

          Having tried simple bidets in both warm, cold, and neutral-ish climates, I find that cold water bidets seem to stiffen the poo bits and make it hard to actually get them off your butt esp since they stick to the hairs. You and I might be talking about different levels of cold, though.

      A shower with soap is best, preferably after a different method. But whatever it’s your house, you can shit direct to shower if you like.

      If you got poop on you anywhere else. Dry wiping it would not be sufficient. Rinsing it off and patting it dry would not be sufficient. You would wash with soap.

      That said, I have a bidet I use some of the time and plain old TP the rest of the time.

      I use a portable bidet. It is a rubber squeeze bottle. I use it to wash my asshole and a little toilet paper to dry.

      The thing paid for itself many times over in toilet paper saved.

        I like the idea of a bidet anywhere I go, as I feel like a literal disgusting caveman when I can’t use one.

        But I feel like a portable one used in a public restroom would make me want to deep clean it every time I use it, and you kind of can’t in public. Also what’s it like to sneak it into a restroom discretely?

          It is literally a small bottle with a folding spigot thingie. I do clean mine with soap and water every once in a while, but it is kinda hard to get dirty.

      A proper diet would also help. Failing that, I just take a shower right after, as you put it, a dump run.
