Well I don't see you coming up with anything smarty pants.

I'm aware that the Romans all sat around in a big public crapper. Do they know the way of the wipe, or were those togas dirtier than we think? How often did they change the water in those big fancy public bathtubs?

Romans had a fanatical devotion to cleanliness.
The Romans had public latrines with a constant stream of running water under them.

Wiping was accomplished by using a piece of wet sponge affixed to a "wiping stick"and cleaning it off afterward in the stream.

Interesting you should ask.

At a recent excavation in the Pyrenees foothills the remains of a Roman fort were unearthed along with naughty magazines in MSS. form.

Several copies of Vestal Virgins in Heat, Nubian Gladiator Boys and Carthaginian Catamite Monthly.
