Bidet is life
Got one off Amazon for $35....wifey's like, "meh"....I say, "30 days, you'll wonder where it's been all your life!"....8 days later, wifey, "When I go at work, I wonder why they don't have..."
Bidet very good, but I still need a few squares to check. "Trust but verify."
Be thankful you're not blind...
As long as you're not both blind and anosmic, should be OK.
Just give it the old taste stes then.
I feel like a support animal could be trained to help in any of these cases.
I don't know how I feel about having an animal clean my ass that way....
Generally one should wipe anyways before using a bidet
Really, even if it's a toilet with a bidet seat? I would think that wiping before spraying would decrease the effect of the spray.
I'd argue, majority of places don't have those. Also I'm talking about the wiping process.
I can recommend HappyPo, a portable bidet.
Anything portable with the poo theme related is a no for me.
I must be using it wrong. It just makes my butt wet, not really easier to wipe.
Hard to say. I like to lean forward and to the side, lifting one butt cheek off the seat and then I do sploosh with relatively much pressure.
One mistake I've made at first, is to be a bit overzealous with the wiping. In order to be clean, you only need the outside of the sphincter to be clean. Trying to clean beyond there is rather pointless, as that's the inside of your rectum, where your body literally stores shit.
But with toilet paper, you can obviously reach beyond that, which will return a stained toilet paper and make it look like you weren't clean yet.
Guess that's the reason.
Use a bidet and never wipe again.
I don't get this, I've used bidets, it results in a wet ass that I need to dry off with toilet paper which sometimes still shows poop
I guess keep wiping then. About a month since I installed our bidet and the only time I used paper after about the first week of checking, is at work. And yeah, my asshole is wet after I spray, but it is not like there is water pouring out of it or anything.
So true
Did...did you say toilet paper?
He doesn't know how to use the three seashells!
I hope we never stop referencing this.
Because "flushable" wipes really aren't and they are mode of plastic?
They felt like paper to me?
Because toilet paper can be flushed, but baby wipes should go in a garbage bin?
My roommate refuses to acknowledge that key difference. I just hope I’m out of the apartment before it becomes my problem.
Being in an apartment, good chance it gets to the building-wide plumbing before clogging, and so wouldn't be traced back to you. Of course, that would still leave you (and the rest of the building) without plumbing for a while whenever it actually does clog
Until recently, baby wipes were largely non biodegradable
And they’re still non-flushable, despite what the package says.
Most baby wipes and similar materials aren’t designed to be flushed—“flushable” products like wipes do not readily disperse upon flushing and actually remain in a solid state while traveling through the sewer system. They may clog your pipes at home resulting in costly visits from your plumber. They may get caught in the public wastewater system, which can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to regional pumping equipment leading to higher sewer bills for us all. While many of these products might masquerade as “flushable” and “sewer friendly”, don’t be fooled!
Toilet wipes have led to an epidemic of what have been colloquially termed as turdbergs, which are vehicle sized piles of shit held together by baby wipes that refuse to actually biodegrade and have caused sewer and plumbing issues costing taxpayers and individuals millions of dollars.
This shit again? Pun intended. But JFC Lemmy is fucking obsessed with TP & bidets.
Mandatory PSA: Baby wipes clog up the plumbing system. Please don't flush those down a toilet. TP was designed to break down.
*poo intended
PSA Kleenex Australia sells flushable wipes
Update: After extensive input from public wastewater bodies and industry experts including Kimberly-Clark Australia (the maker of Kleenex® Flushable Wipes), Standards Australia published a new, AU & NZ-specific, Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022). The Standard details clear testing criteria that need to be met for manufacturers to use a “flushable” label in accordance with the Standard.
We welcome the introduction of the new Standard and are proud to announce that Kleenex Flushable Wipes meet and exceed the requirements of the Australia/New Zealand Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022)
Right there with you.
Damn kids act like adults never considered it. Motherfucking kids go read some got-damn HISTORY once in a fucking while.
Neither existed for my grandparents.
People in the past had to put up with a lot of shit we don't have to today. Doesn't mean we shouldn't take advantage on modern luxuries. Your hemorrhoids will thank you.
Read some history to discover methods used before we settled on toilet paper.
Spoiler: you're not gonna like it.
Leaves, animal stuff, the bucket, not doing anything.
I know
Sticks, communal sponges...
History
"We" didn't. Join Eru's chorus and buy a bidet.

Showerthoughts

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
