Born to shit... Forced to wipe 😓
51Sometimes 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.
34I 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
9Japan was right all along
8Same.

This is why I pay free range chickens to peck the shit off my asshole. It keeps them out of the factory farms, reduces water use, provides the chicken a fair day wage for a fair day of work, and keeps my butthole squeaky clean.
24Yeah people are weird about bidets. They're obviously a great invention
22"Piss on your arse" is so weirdly telling of how they conceptualise it...

There are some people.....

'stream of water' is wrong characterization, it's about a power-washing jet -- blast off those poo particles
18Or 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.
15Extra points if you use ones of these to spray your ass, if you don't have any good bidets, let alone bidet sprays to buy
They're not only as effective, but also portable...
2Do you literally never use the restroom in public spaces or something? Or is this just a special treat when you’re at home?
0That’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.

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.
15All I’m seeing is someone who upvotes what they agree with and downvotes what they disagree with lol
14I just dump a liter of bleach in the upper deck and remove the seat. Nothing cleans you up better than a good swirl.
12Lemmy needs a “Vote for best of” feature.

Or just dont shit simple.
12I 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.
10Hello fellow Jerboa user!
Open source Lemmy clients ftw!

oh wow did not know that!

You commenting here proves you're not using Jerboa. Or was the keyboard bug finally fixed?
2Considering I have no idea what you're talking about I'll say it was.
There is a bug with the GrapheneOS keyboard being strangely buggy when backspacing (it gets confused about where the word starts so if you delete the last letter of a word it will instead delete the space just before the word which is annoying as hell) however that bug is definitely not exclusive to Jerboa and only happens with that keyboard so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I have a high pressure water system at the ready. Remember: if it isn't peeling skin off flesh, it's not effective enough.
7I like to back flush my sinuses to help with my allergies

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.
4If 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.

"Always have a shower available"
I mean, couldn't you say the same about bidets?
You only really have a choice on how to clean your butt when you're on your own bathroom, which presumabily is always going to have a shower too.
Everywhere else you just have to use what's there, which most of the time is just toilet paper.
3Who wants to tell them wet wipes exist?
3@dessalines lemmy.ml down?
3It is still down
4@heyfrancis @kungkungblabak @dessalines It's still down, unfortunately.

but genuinely he has a bit about this. toilet habits are oddly politically important
3My 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.....

1All I’m seeing is someone who upvotes what they agree with and downvotes what they disagree with.
1can 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.
-8I 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.
12Move 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
4You live in a sad, small-minded reality, friend. Enjoy your needlessly poopy butt-hole.
