      My wife blots with a bit of TP and tosses it in the trash can. Guessing plumbing is more sensitive where she’s from.

          I’ll never understand where the term “blowing hot air up my ass” as if it was a pleasurable thing came from. I find it to be foul, but turning my bidet blower down to the coolest breeze is refreshing AF.

          There’s no checkmate here. It’s already all figured out by the millions of bidet users over the last hundred years. My wife uses toilet paper, I prefer a small basket of washrags to blot the water away. The rag gets slightly damp and there is no visible poo (having been washed away already), but I’m not going to use it on my face after so if there are micro-particles I don’t care.

          I’m a convert as of 7ish years ago. First one bathroom, then all bathrooms and the whole family vastly prefers over TP and even our previous favorite, baby wipes. Plus no waste, it’s really wins all around. Especially on the butthole.

      Sit for a minute or two to air dry and then use a towel or few pieces of toilet paper to touch up any wet spot. Still much less toilet paper than if you didn’t use a Bidet.

      Also some Bidets have actual blowers lol.

    How appropriate to have posted it here. Are you cleaning up the hole place?

    Remember you don’t have to clean your whole ass. You just have to clean your ass’s hole.

    My friend has one of those Japanese ones. It also has a warmed toilet seat. When I came out, I said that seat is amazing and they said people never come out of there. I proposed that they were napping on the seat. Why do seat warmers feel so good? The thing is, I could never figure out how to make the actual bidet part work. I suspect the people who took a long time were also trying to test it out, but didn’t know how. Or maybe they did and enjoyed it?

    I’m using one of those hand squeezer bidets and yes, it’s great. Ever wiped your ass until it was sore? That’s because some little shit pebbles refuse to get out. With a bidet you can shoot those motherfuckers directly out of your rectum.

      We’ve got one of those ones that attaches to a regular toilet, and I gotta say that it’s fucking wonderful.

      However. The water pressure in our house can be kinda weird. Mostly it’s normal, but sometimes it’s like a jet washer for a few seconds. And those few seconds after you’ve first opened the bidet are like getting reamed out by a Karcher.

    Bidets are amazing. If you don’t have one you should go buy one, they start fairly low priced

      Paid $50 for mine like 7 years ago. Is it fancy? Heck no. Does it clean my butt real good? Heck yes.

      When I can afford a fancy heated, air drying bidet that will be my goalpost of success.

        I honestly got used to the regular temp one. So much so that when I moved and the new house came with the fancier bidet, I just ended up using regular water every time.

        I started with a $30 cheapo 10 years ago and it was life changing. Last year I got a stupid expensive one. Like, has a night light, auto flush (because I got the matching toilet), auto lid, heated seat, heated water, deodorizer, wireless remote, etc. (Toto S7A)

        Just so you’re prepared, the air dry doesn’t fully replace the pat dry entirely unless you’re gonna sit there for a good long time.

        That said, I have no regrets.

      Punch a hole in the neck of a small water bottle using a (hot) needle or a cork screw. Fill the bottle with water, close the lit and spray your ass by holding the bottle upside down and squeezing it. I used this 1$ Ghetto-Bidet for years!

        Nice for emergencies, but an actual bidet is like $10-20 and install takes less than 5min (10 if you count watching a YouTube on how to do it.)
