    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

    ‘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.

    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.

    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 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.

      If only most wet wipes weren’t non-flushable (even if they say they are, many are in fact not) and terrible for the environment. Still have to find a good brand.

    My old flatmate would shower after every. single. shit. Which was fine in the afternoon/evening. But we got up for work at the same time, and he’d take 20mins in the shower plus 10-15 pooping. Which meant I’d have to be up an hour earlier than I needed to be to be able to poop in the morning…
