Bum. That's such a cute word for a bottom, isn't it?

We all have one and we all poop. Yeah, I said it. We teach our kids that it's all good and it's all normal when we're toilet training them. But somewhere along the way talking about using the bathroom becomes more inappropriate or uncomfortable.

I get that it's your personal business, but it's just as regular an everyday thing as eating, bathing or sleeping. Talking about bathroom habits can be embarrassing but you may be missing out on a better way to get clean. That’s why Cottonelle is partnering with London-based immersive journalist Cherry Healey to get people to talk about the way they wipe.

And I'm here to say that I am a toilet paper snob. It's true. I feel quite disappointed when I use a bathroom with substandard toilet paper. I simply cannot understand why anyone -- I don't care about your excuses -- would want to wipe with low quality TP.

We're talking about one of the most sensitive areas of your body, people! Don't you think you should treat your bum well?

If you're all "meh, whatever" about your TP, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore. Or, at least I'll make a mental note not to use your bathroom.

I'm a fairly regular gal. I need to go every morning, usually after my first cup of coffee. I have kids, so I retreat to my own bathroom and hope they won't notice I've left the room. Yes, even now that my youngest is 7 1/2. I swear that boy has "mom is going to the bathroom radar"!

Speaking of kids, when we change a baby's diaper we use wet wipes, right? How come we stop using wet wipes as we get older? Why do we want our big bums (haha) to be any less clean than our baby's?

See that sleek, white dispenser there above my Cottonelle toilet paper? That holds Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths. Together, we call this the Cottonelle Clean Routine.

You know what else "we" do? We love it! The cleansing cloths are pretty perfect. I love the light scent, they're not too wet and the right size. I sound a little like Goldilocks, I think. But it's true! I have really been enjoying finishing up with a cleansing cloth. Oh, and for all you men out there, my husband agrees, and he's not too proud to say so.

Cottonelle wants to get you talking about your bum and on a better way to clean “down there” by using the Cottonelle Clean Routine. By combining the use of Cottonelle Toilet Paper and Cottonelle Flushable Cleansing Cloths, the Cottonelle Clean Routine is a revolutionary way to keep your bum cleaner.
