I know high fiber foods is a large part of it, but is there anything else to it?

Sugar free orange flavored metamucil. No joke. Mix up one or two spoonfuls each morning and in the next day or two your shits will start being magical.

    Not entirely true. Metamucil, as it contains mostly soluble fiber, will help with regularity, but not with firmness. For firmer stools, thus "no wipe," more INsoluble fiber is the way to go.

    Seconding this. It's honestly a little embarrassing how much taking solid shits improves your life. Bathroom breaks are quicker, don't stink as much, and you save a fortune on toilet paper. My diet has since improved to the point where I don't need it, but I still keep a couple tubs of it in the pantry just in case.
