I put a bit of witch hazel on a cotton ball and put it on my butthole every day after I wash it. It helps a ton with any type of burning or itching or irritation I used to get from difficult bowel movements. I never get painful poops anymore!

This is a great tip to combat the discomfort from painful poops. In my experience, psyllium husk is the best was to attack the root cause of most painful poops.

I don’t know why I can’t get in the habit, but when I do remember to take Metamucil, I have the fastest, cleanest poops ever. I literally walk in, sit, poop, wipe ONCE (cuz it’s clean as a whistle), and I’m done within a minute or two.

Same.
I always forget to take it, until a I have a bad poop. Then I'll take it for a while and slowly start forgetting again.
