Wiping before showering is not a Waste of time. Imagine you got the Runny-Runs... You're just gonna let all that poo wash down your legs and through your toes.. Even if you wash after the fact- Are you really able to wash every millimeter of skin that comes in contact with Runny poo-water? Eventually the spots on your skin will accumulate, the poo-tainted tiny specs will seep into your pores and make your legs smell. You'll be known as "Stinkah-Legs"...
