Born to shit... Forced to wipe 😓
Sometimes it's like wiping a marker
I bought bidets for the house during the COVID toilet paper lunacy and it's likely the best personal hygiene investment I've ever made. I still get upset when I have to poop somewhere that doesn't have a bidet.
I installed mine during COVID lockdowns - wife got one as a gift for baby shower and we never used it but 2 years later I broke it out during the dark times for toilet paper and it saved our ass, literally. Definitely the best improvement ever, yet some people do feel weird about them, like middle schooler homophobia or some shit
Japan was right all along
Same.
All I’m seeing is someone who upvotes what they agree with and downvotes what they disagree with lol
Doesn't everyone do that?
I don’t lol it’s a terrible way to operate. It’s common unfortunately but it’s not supposed to be how it works.
The original purpose was to upvote comments that added to the conversation and down vote those that didn't.
Intent vs. actual use can vary wildly.
The guillotine was invented as a convenient way to slice your melons, but it was unfortunately misused.
Unfortunately? Sounds like you're a French bourgeoisie who needs an appointment with a guillotine!
Yeah people are weird about bidets. They're obviously a great invention
"Piss on your arse" is so weirdly telling of how they conceptualise it...
There are some people.....
Or you know, wash with water AND soap. I wash with a bidet and use liquid soap along with it. That’s no different than washing in the shower.
Do they make extra fancy soapy bidets?
I mean, i haven't actually been to Japan myself, but I've heard some things...
I haven't ever seen one there, but it's pretty likely.
Do you literally never use the restroom in public spaces or something? Or is this just a special treat when you’re at home?
That’s for at home. But to answer your other question, I do carry a small 50ml squeeze bottle of liquid soap in my bag, like those keychain hand sanitizers. Obviously it’s not always useful if the public toilet doesn’t have a bidet in the first place, so I also have wet wipes in my bag for a cleaner feeling at least until I can get home and wash properly.
And to answer your one other question, yes portable bidets exist. I have one and bring it with me when I travel so I can still wash if my hotel doesn't have one.

'stream of water' is wrong characterization, it's about a power-washing jet -- blast off those poo particles
I like the extremely narrow opinion held by whoever took the original screenshot, judging from their use of the agree/disagree buttons. They believe that some form of washing is necessary, but only the exact amount of a bidet— using soap is too much. A very specific middle ground.
I just dump a liter of bleach in the upper deck and remove the seat. Nothing cleans you up better than a good swirl.
Lemmy needs a “Vote for best of” feature.
Or just dont shit simple.
I got one after a surgery because I couldn’t touch my butthole without screaming. And I still thought they were weird. Now I can’t stand it if one isn’t available. Fwiw, if you are a relatively clean pooper the toilet paper is mainly for drying off.
I have a high pressure water system at the ready. Remember: if it isn't peeling skin off flesh, it's not effective enough.
I like to back flush my sinuses to help with my allergies
can bidet fanatics just leave people alone? im sure they are better, not everyone has the money or time to install one. also, i have a feeling they just dont know how to wipe properly.
I mean, that goes both ways. As an American, and especially as a guy, I often get sideways looks when I mention I have a bidet. If you can't or won't try it out, fine, but people are really acting like it's strange to clean yourself off using water.
Move to Spain. Every apartment has a bidet here. It's as normalized as a jam stand in your kitchen.
They don't have to be actual installations. You can mount one on to you toilet for less than $30 although I'd suggest spending a bit more
You live in a sad, small-minded reality, friend. Enjoy your needlessly poopy butt-hole.
Who wants to tell them wet wipes exist?
I wondered why, till I temember that the wet wipes I bought half a year ago mentioned it had no plastics and were safe to flush I think.
I dont use wet wipes anyway but I guess when they tell you its ok then its ok, right?
Even when they do tell you it's ok, it's probably not ok. Toilet paper is designed to disintegrate rapidly in water, hence why it's easily flushable because by the time it's actually going down the pipes it's all ripped up already. Wet wipes, even the "flushable" ones stay intact. You can try this at home, take two cups of water, in one put in a few sheets of toilet paper, in the other put it a wet wipe. Stir them both for a minute to simulate flushing them down the toilet. The toilet paper rips up and what clumps are leftover are pretty small. Wet wipes stay completely intact, which is why they cause problems down the line when they're flushed.
@dessalines lemmy.ml down?
I don't think I'm going to smell anyone's asshole in a nearby future and I pray you don't either, friend.
Wipe until clean, spray your anus with water, just get the job done and shower often.
