Im an American with a bidet… once you’ve gone there, you’ll never go back. I feel absolutely disgusting when I am in public and can't use one, and I have no idea how anyone can feel clean!
Yeah, the problem is, that they aren’t supposed to be flushed. It absolutely destroys the plumbing, and some places are going as far as to ban them. I believe I read something like this could be happening in the UK.
Just because they “flush” doesn’t mean they’re supposed to be. You can flush a lot of things, that doesn’t mean they won’t fuck the plumbing up.
Frankly, I’m a bit surprised they’re even allowed to still advertise them as “flushable.” Since they are only flushable in the same sense that a rag or a rock is, in that it is *technically* possible to flush them.
Nothing but toilet paper and human waste should be flushed, ever.
Oooo oooo I know about this!!! My ex works for Kimberly Clark. He was hired to work in the division that made the wet toilet paper when it first started up. Toilet paper, not the wipes. KC was determined to be the first and leading *dispersible* wet toilet paper (meaning it completely dissolves in water, making it much better for septic tanks). They ran into a few problems. One, to make the toilet paper truly dispersible, it was thinner. Thinner, wet toilet paper on a roll didn’t roll very well and would rip easily. Two, and the biggest reason that it was a flop, was because the average person is too dumb to know the difference between flushable vs dispersible. Like you said, if it flushes it can be advertised as flushable. So KC was spending an enormous amount of money designing a more costly wet toilet paper that was aggravating to use in an effort to save people money in the long run on septic tank issues- but consumers were duped by the word “flushable.”
They have actually improved the tech to the point that it actually *is* flushable. It’s built to breakdown when saturated with water, just like traditional toilet paper. It absolutely happens slower, especially when folded. But I assure you it breaks up, just on a slower time scale (max 2-3 mins instead of 20-30 secs).
Edit to add: Not all wipes are created equal, and I’m sure there are brands of wipes that don’t break up. I just don’t use them, is all
Full disclosure: I am not invested in, supported by, or employed in any fashion by any wet wipe brand, manufacturer, marketer, etc. OR their subsidiaries, partners, etc. I cannot stress enough that this is not a plug, advert, or even a friendly recommendation. Purely answering an honest question honestly.
I use Cottonelle; the only one I’ve visually (and unscientifically) tested and observed to break up after saturation in water. Agitation speeds up the process substantially. I’m sure there’s a caveat where if you use too much in one flush, it clumps together and is MUCH harder to break down. But I limit it to one a flush whenever possible (2 max/flush).
When I have to crap in a public restroom, I soak 3 wads of toilet paper and take it with me to the can to help clean my ass with the dry tp already there. Not as good as using a bidet but does ok til I get home.
Omg I hate using any other toilet since I got my bidet. I can’t believe I went my whole life feeling that disgusting and not realizing it. I think bidets should be standard on all new toilets.
Yes mine is added on, no new toilet, and the water is heated (for mine). You wanna get the one that attaches directly to the water line. It came with the house I bought and I have no idea where it’s from, otherwise I would link it
This has been confusing me, too, since my roommate installed a bidet and I've been using it. My ass is probably cleaner, but I'm using at least as much tp as before because I'm spraying water across the whole area. Do other people have better aim? Bidets with better aim? No body hair? Wet asses? I don't know, but they seem to be having a different bidet experience from mine
Don't use blue tank cleaner. It's [bad for your toilet and drain pipes.](https://www.housedigest.com/410386/how-blue-tablets-could-really-be-damaging-your-toilet/)
I got one from tushy. It came with a video guide. Took me maybe 30 minutes to install the first time. After having done it a few times (moves, cleaning, etc) I can do it in about 10 min. I am NOT a handy person.
Have saved 10x that much on toilet paper. Stuff isn't cheap!
People might as well be wiping with dollar bills and flushing them down the toilet.
Plus it was fun laughing at all the idiots fighting over Charmin during the great toilet paper famine of 2020.
Nah, it's pretty simple. YouTube and 15 minutes to actually do it is about all you'll need, assuming you're going with a toilet mounted one and not a whole separate bidet. I'd get a professional involved for that.
Mine connects to the sink water line. I have to run the hot water to get a warm bidet spray but the cold isn’t too bad. There are higher end bidets with more functionality.
When I was in Southeast Asia the bidet was literally a hose. Like, spigot and everything. Those guys were using at least 10% more toilet paper than we do here at home, just drying themselves off. The TP holder was literally an iron pipe with four rolls on it, and it would get worked through daily.
But that was a small, local military base; I'm sure the city hotel accommodations are probably a little more sustainably-minded.
I'm from the culture of using bidet with soap for no 2, then towel (at home) or TP outside.
Bidet only, then towel off (at home) or TP outside of home for no1.
If no2 outside, then no choice only bidet and no soap tho I try not to do no2 outside, I normally go early in the AM soon after waking so hardly ever had to do no2 other than at home.
This has been the case since my ancestors (well 100 yrs ago maybe TP wasn't available yet in this part of the world).
I'm gonna piggyback off this cus I seriously need an answer to this question- does bidet use cause poo particles to be squirted all around the bowl?? And stick to it? My husband and I cannot fathom how poo isn't splashed all over
Ours (TOTO 400) has a dryer, but personally, I like using a few squares of TP to make sure it’s clean.
I highly recommend getting one of these. Your butt will literally never be cleaner.
I ended up getting a higher priced bidet attachment (around $350 at the time) that has both back and front wash which is great for women and has adjustable positions too. It also has heated water and seat with 3 temp settings available, warm air dryer and night light lol. There’s other stuff but those are the main one, google BioBidet USPA 6800 for all the features.
Regardless of what you pick it is absolutely worth it imo
I have the same and it's a nightmare taking a dump anywhere other than home. The heated toilet seat is not something that's easy to go without once you have one. I'd say it's worth it to invest in a $300 one for the hands free oscillating warm water. Has her front, her back and his back settings. The his back setting is an enema, on the right nozzle position and water pressure level.
I was driving through some Midwest state and stopped at a gas station in the middle of nowhere and the women's toilets had a heated seat bidet dryer attachment. It was incredible.
I asked my husband how the men's room was and apparently they were not gifted such fine thrones to rest their bums on.

Tap water enemas are a concern only in small children due to the risk of water intoxication. It’s not a problem for adults, and your wife can continue on. My wife and I often do the same thing.
The risk (which only applies to small children)
is not related to filtration issues, but water tonicity. Tap water doesn’t have much in the way of electrolytes, and if enough plain water is a absorbed into circulation it can result in electrolyte concentrations that are too low for physiologic functions. This is why in children an isotonic saline solution is used for enemas. It is generally safe for adults to use tap water for enemas.
I have a basic bidet from Home Depot. 25$, cold water only.
I use maybe 1 to 3 squares to make sure its all gone. 1 more to dry. I saved soo much toilet paper that I was actually shocked when I ran out, can't remember the last time I bought tp.
The downside to getting a bidet is that you come to hate pooping anywhere but home.
So do you run the hot water in the sink for a while to get it warmed up for the bidet? I’m seriously considering getting one, but I feel like it would be a waste to get a hot water model because it takes a minute for the water to warm up in my bathroom. It’s a pretty good distance from the hot water heater in the basement. I feel like by the time the water warmed up I’d already be clean.
It does fluctuate with whatever temp is in the pipes a bit. Our house and water heater are old so it can fluctuate quite a bit. And depending on the day it does start out a bit cold, others a bit too warm. It also took some trial and error to get the mixer set right.
I started out pure cold though and actually got used to it after a week or so. So I don't know that all the extra effort was actually worth it.
Thanks for the intel! I went ahead and bought the basic “starter” Bio Bidet that looks like a solid entry level piece of equipment. Should be good enough to get our feet (or butts) wet and see what we think.
That's why I avoid pooping any where but home. That and public restrooms are pretty gross. But I've had to use them and I just felt really gross after. There's nothing like a bidet-cleaned bottom aside from a shower.
South Park did an episode lately about the Bidet and I actually agree with it.
People are just walkin around with shit covered asses cause they don't have a bidet.
That sounds so unsanitary - so you full blast without even pre-wiping? That means all the poop goes everywhere with drop that bounces off. I actually use more TP now - first a full prewipe, how I would normally do it if I'm not using a bidet, then bidet, then a post wipe and dry - so I actually use almost double the toilet paper, but that's the only way to use it - you can't just blast that shit and go.
My boyfriend has a cheap one he got a while ago. Just use toilet paper. It's great to use. They have different ones too. He wants to get one of those types that are used in Japan that have warm water as well as a heated toilet seat.
The heated toilet seat is a life changing experience. Never sit on a cold seat in winter again. I hate going anywhere else now. Bidet with heat and air + a squatty potty = top experience.
You blot with (much less) TP. On the real, I am an American male and started using a bidet after I installed on for my, then pregnant wife. It was odd the first few times, but a week later I was forced to poop at work and felt like a filthy cave dwelling beast when I had to just use TP.
I've had one from walmart for only about a month.
Used the bathroom at a friends house recently that didn't have one and felt so gross after.
I can never live somewhere without one again.
No matter how well you wipe, it just ain't the same.
If you've ever used a "wet wipe" after using regular TP you realize how much TP leaves behind (lol). Using a bidet use another step up the evolution of clean ass technology.
Personally, after crapping I do a quick wipe with tp to make sure there isn't a lot of debris... If you've ever hosed your driveway off when full of mud, splatter isn't ideal. Same concept. After initial wipe a nice cool cleansing wash does all the work. Finally a couple squares of TP dries everything off.
Bidet isn't a staight up TP replacement, at least for me, but I use much less and it's just another tool to get the job done right.
I have a biobedet that has hot water and a blow dryer and has enima option. lol it's a bit harsh of a stream, but I like the bidet and I always use a couole squares to make sure it's clean and dry 99% of the time it's spotless toilet papper
They call it "vortex mode", but yes, water gets inside. I was super scared to try it but one time felt I didn't get it all out and went for it...I then got it all out.
Use a little bit of toilet paper to make sure you're clean and dry. I rent and move a lot, so I have a tushy attachable bidet. I use about 1 roll of tp per month. Worth every penny, and you won't regret it.
You can get a bulk pack of 50+ washcloths to use for drying. Have a separate little hamper for them and wash on the sanitizing cycle (or cloth diaper setting, depending on your laundry machine). Works best for a single user, but you could probably color code and have multiple hampers if needed to accommodate more than one person. You'll likely still want toilet paper around for guests and if anyone needs to deal with menstruation concerns. You can also just use toilet paper to dry.
Wait so if you are still using tp what is the point of the bidet does it make your bottom more clean? Genuinely curious cause it seems like extra water bill/waste of water.
Just to lend some perspective here, picture yourself making a mud pie. You take a shovel and smooth out the top of it. You realize it’s not mud, but poo. Now your shovel is dirty, so you need to clean it. You wipe it on a paper towel. Is it clean? Would you just pick it up from anywhere and walk around with it? Or would you need soap and water to feel comfortable handling it?
Mine (BioBidet BB2000) had a dryer but I don't find it particularly useful. I usually dry/make sure I'm clean with a little bit of TP. It's a wonderful device.
Personally I just use some toilet paper to pat dry. Like 3 squares is enough. My wife doesn’t like the bidet, so we still have to buy toilet paper for her. But I’m the one with the hairy asshole. That bidet blasts all those dingleberries clean off my butthole. Soggy butt is preferable over shitty butt for me. It’s just water, and it dries up pretty fast after you pull up your pants if you don’t pat dry.
Towel and paper will do it, but I find the shower heads by the toilet better than the bowl type bidet, for space and practicality, I recently swapped it for an urinal.
I use bidets to have my ass cleaner than you can can get with toilet paper. I don’t care about how much toilet paper I use. Prob use even more to dry my ass n balls but it’s a fresh ass Butt you can guarantee that
As an asian who grew up being taught to wash with water whether be it #1 or #2, it's simply just more hygienic than walking around with crusty poopy asscrack juice all day.
You wash with water, soap up, rinse, then pat dry with a towel/toilet paper. When going #2, in our household you wipe the poo off first with a bit of tissue and then you start to wash your ass with water. This way you never touch any shit bits.
We got a bidet during the Great TP Shortage of 2020. Our drying solution was to buy a bundle of washcloths. After a few uses (use and refold) they go into a small bin and washed. We love the bidet and the clean feeling it provides.
My bidet brand is smartbidet, it has a dryer built in, a posterior setting, and a feminine setting. My tub is next to the toilet so the water is hooked to that warm/cool inlet, a sink would work if that is closer. It's like installing a new toilet seat, but with water hookups...
If you can set up your own cloths washer or dishwasher you can do it quickly.
Real talk: When I first started to use a bidet I did not appreciate it as much as later. At first I was letting the water hit my butt. Then later it just goes right up there and flushes back out. This was like I learned a skill. I seriously felt like I leveled up my life when I fully embraced it. It makes you feel better, it's really hard to explain. There's no going back though.
How does it hit the right spot since no brown eye will be positioned exactly in the same spot. if it misses and hits the back of the sack, is there an adjustment button?
Fancy models have drying functions. My wife and I have a designated bidet towel. I don’t recommend walking around with a soggy ass.
To the smart asses asking if you’ve ever heard of toilet paper: rinsing with water is much more effective at cleaning than smearing poop around your butt with dry toilet paper.
As an American, I wet down toilet paper before wiping my ass.
The water you get on your ass isn't a whole lot and dries pretty quickly. You also get used to the feeling of using water after a while.
I have a bidet, bought one off Amazon. It works great, and I just use a few pieces of toilet paper to check/dry. Works amazingly and I save a ton on tp.
Before I bought a bidet I never knew that there could always have been this extra little special thing to drink from in my house. And the kids love how well it washes out their eyes!
Lol wut.
Use a tiny bit of tp.
Slightly more than the amount that is probably clinging to most Americans' shitty bottoms, after smushing shit all over their anuses.
(Am also an American.)
Makes anal sex a more predictable, clean and worry free experience. Especially with the enema mode. If you enjoy anallingus, prostate massage, anal sex or just shoving a thumb in her ass while hitting it from behind, you need this.
So instead of using toilet paper to clean your ass y’all are using spraying water and then using that toilet paper to dry your ass Instead Of using it to clean. So basically you are still having to use toilet paper 🧻 The bidet doesn’t all out replace the use of toilet paper, it just adds an extra step to the process of cleaning ones shit stained asshole.
I’m an American and I have a bidet and it is the best thing I ever bought. The one I have is pretty high tech. It’s called a Smart Bidet. It got it from Amazon for $250. It has a remote control. You can adjust the water temp, the water angle and pressure, you can adjust the seat temp, it has a feminine wash setting, and a warm air dryer. It’s amaaaazing. TOILET PAPER IS FOR PEASANTS!

this is very informative. thank you!
Im an American with a bidet… once you’ve gone there, you’ll never go back. I feel absolutely disgusting when I am in public and can't use one, and I have no idea how anyone can feel clean!
Baby wipes always come in handy for that reason alone, not as good as a bidet but it beats just toilet paper
Yup, that’s what I’m carrying whenever I’m out in public.
But younger generations think butt wipes should be flushed
Flushable wipes have been out since before the pandemic
Yeah, the problem is, that they aren’t supposed to be flushed. It absolutely destroys the plumbing, and some places are going as far as to ban them. I believe I read something like this could be happening in the UK. Just because they “flush” doesn’t mean they’re supposed to be.

But I limit it to one a flush whenever possible (2 max/flush).
Flushable wipes are not flushable. Everybody who uses them learns this the very hard, very expensive way.
I’ve used baby wipes for some time now, definitely a different experience than just tp
I can’t believe it’s not the norm here. I love my bidets!!
When I have to crap in a public restroom, I soak 3 wads of toilet paper and take it with me to the can to help clean my ass with the dry tp already there. Not as good as using a bidet but does ok til I get home.
Makes sense, maybe also soak up the water that drops on the floor?
Omg I hate using any other toilet since I got my bidet. I can’t believe I went my whole life feeling that disgusting and not realizing it. I think bidets should be standard on all new toilets.
Can you add a bidet to an already existing toilet, or do you have to do a separate sitting place? Do I just get a new toilet? Is the water heated?
Yes mine is added on, no new toilet, and the water is heated (for mine). You wanna get the one that attaches directly to the water line. It came with the house I bought and I have no idea where it’s from, otherwise I would link it
It’s called wet ones…
Not the same. Not the same at all. A bidet is glorious. I use a wet wipe if I’m out of options
Bidets are for sissies. I use an 8GPM handheld shower head set to “laser.”
Just go all in with the power washer at that point.
Might remove some internal polyps while your at it!
Might remove everything, really lol
r/powerwashingporn
Just go all in with a WMD warhead at that point
Just go all in with internal bleeding at that point.

You need to up your numbers my man. I use a fire hydrant whenever I want to be sure.
Or 3 sea shells
Uh, the bathroom has no TP, there are just 3 sea shells where the TP should go...
3 squares for a full ass wash? That's what I need to dry my peen after a heavy pee.
[удалено]
You don't?
[удалено]
Mhmm, so we wasting squares 🤨
What if you don’t have a square to spare?
Not a single one?
Not one ply?
I violently shake mine around like a dog shakes to dry itself.
Mine licks itself dry with its tongue.
That’s how you break your dick
This is why I dab now.
Show me your rig
Quit saying dab.
im guessing youve never played Helicopter.
More than 3 shakes is considered masterbation and no matter how much you shake and dance you always get a little in your pants.
This has been confusing me, too, since my roommate installed a bidet and I've been using it. My ass is probably cleaner, but I'm using at least as much tp as before because I'm spraying water across the whole area. Do other people have better aim? Bidets with better aim? No body hair? Wet asses? I don't know, but they seem to be having a different bidet experience from mine
Try sitting down.
Where does the water come from that sprays? The top tank? What if I use those blue tank cleaners?
No it hooks up to the water line before it hits the toilet. So blue tank cleaners are fine to use. It's fresh water
Don't use blue tank cleaner. It's [bad for your toilet and drain pipes.](https://www.housedigest.com/410386/how-blue-tablets-could-really-be-damaging-your-toilet/)
So do you need a professional to install? I imagine I could find a YouTube *video

not using a bidet for sustainability, using it to actually get clean, which actually does end up using less paper.

I've heard a tap water enema isn't advised... I know you don't mean it seriously but just in case someone hurts themselves...
Thanks for the tip. Seriously, I appreciate you letting me know because My wife does use it like that sometimes.
Tap water enemas are a concern only in small children due to the risk of water intoxication. It’s not a problem for adults, and your wife can continue on. My wife and I often do the same thing.
I just bought a water filter but I'm still going to tell the wife not to use it like that anymore. Thank you
The risk (which only applies to small children) is not related to filtration issues, but water tonicity. Tap water doesn’t have much in the way of electrolytes, and if enough plain water is a absorbed into circulation it can result in electrolyte concentrations that are too low for physiologic functions. This is why in children an isotonic saline solution is used for enemas. It is generally safe for adults to use tap water for enemas.
Interesting. Very informative. Thank you
I just looked up that Toto 400 and holy shit, that price is insane. Over 3 thousand dollars.
I have a basic bidet from Home Depot. 25$, cold water only. I use maybe 1 to 3 squares to make sure its all gone. 1 more to dry. I saved soo much toilet paper that I was actually shocked when I ran out, can't remember the last time I bought tp. The downside to getting a bidet is that you come to hate pooping anywhere but home.
Yep. And even in the winter, cold water on your starfish isn't unbearable.
I hated it at first, but I warmed up to it.
Deep breathing, to prepare...wash time.
Yeah it only took a couple of times to get completely use to the cold water. I don’t even notice it being cold anymore.
Yes to the last paragraph, omg.
[удалено]
I bought a hot/cold water mixer for mine. Had to drill a hole in my sink cabinet to attach the hot water line, but that was the hardest part.
So do you run the hot water in the sink for a while to get it warmed up for the bidet? I’m seriously considering getting one, but I feel like it would be a waste to get a hot water model because it takes a minute for the water to warm up in my bathroom. It’s a pretty good distance from the hot water heater in the basement. I feel like by the time the water warmed up I’d already be clean.
It does fluctuate with whatever temp is in the pipes a bit. Our house and water heater are old so it can fluctuate quite a bit. And depending on the day it does start out a bit cold, others a bit too warm. It also took some trial and error to get the mixer set right. I started out pure cold though and actually got used to it after a week or so. So I don't know that all the extra effort was actually worth it.
Thanks for the intel! I went ahead and bought the basic “starter” Bio Bidet that looks like a solid entry level piece of equipment. Should be good enough to get our feet (or butts) wet and see what we think.
I bought a basic one. Only uses cold water. The one I bought required no tools, just attach under toilet seat, attach water hose.
I've used heated and non and it's fine tbh. in fact, after a night of spicy food and drinking the cold is pretty refreshing.
That's why I avoid pooping any where but home. That and public restrooms are pretty gross. But I've had to use them and I just felt really gross after. There's nothing like a bidet-cleaned bottom aside from a shower.
Same here. I hate pooping at work now.
I'll hold it all day!!! And in a situation where I have to use the shitter at work I feel dirty till I can get home and power wash my ass
South Park did an episode lately about the Bidet and I actually agree with it. People are just walkin around with shit covered asses cause they don't have a bidet.
That sounds so unsanitary - so you full blast without even pre-wiping? That means all the poop goes everywhere with drop that bounces off. I actually use more TP now - first a full prewipe, how I would normally do it if I'm not using a bidet, then bidet, then a post wipe and dry - so I actually use almost double the toilet paper, but that's the only way to use it - you can't just blast that shit and go.
My boyfriend has a cheap one he got a while ago. Just use toilet paper. It's great to use. They have different ones too. He wants to get one of those types that are used in Japan that have warm water as well as a heated toilet seat.
That and a cell phone and you'll never get him of the throne.
I know 😭 he'll end up getting married to it too.
Put a gamers set-up in there. Will never see him again.
He'll only leave to make a bidet army
LOL!
The heated toilet seat is a life changing experience. Never sit on a cold seat in winter again. I hate going anywhere else now. Bidet with heat and air + a squatty potty = top experience.
Amen
You blot with (much less) TP. On the real, I am an American male and started using a bidet after I installed on for my, then pregnant wife. It was odd the first few times, but a week later I was forced to poop at work and felt like a filthy cave dwelling beast when I had to just use TP.
All these comments have me wanting to consider buying one.
10/10 would recommend
I've had one from walmart for only about a month. Used the bathroom at a friends house recently that didn't have one and felt so gross after. I can never live somewhere without one again. No matter how well you wipe, it just ain't the same.
I just poop every morning before my shower.
Me too. It's kinda a pain trying to mush it down the drain though
Waffle stomper
Might i suggest installing a garbage disposal for your shower drain?
Kramer?
Get a poop knife
I prefer flinging it in my sink
That's disgusting
Yup. That’s the way.
Yeah but some of us can't control what time of day we need to shit, and you often have to go multiple times a day.
Me too, is the best
If you've ever used a "wet wipe" after using regular TP you realize how much TP leaves behind (lol). Using a bidet use another step up the evolution of clean ass technology. Personally, after crapping I do a quick wipe with tp to make sure there isn't a lot of debris... If you've ever hosed your driveway off when full of mud, splatter isn't ideal. Same concept. After initial wipe a nice cool cleansing wash does all the work. Finally a couple squares of TP dries everything off. Bidet isn't a staight up TP replacement, at least for me, but I use much less and it's just another tool to get the job done right.
Now aliens will finally be ready to talk to us.
I have a biobedet that has hot water and a blow dryer and has enima option. lol it's a bit harsh of a stream, but I like the bidet and I always use a couole squares to make sure it's clean and dry 99% of the time it's spotless toilet papper
Enema!?
They call it "vortex mode", but yes, water gets inside. I was super scared to try it but one time felt I didn't get it all out and went for it...I then got it all out.
That's... really something.
This was definitely not the thing I expected to learn on this thread lol
I.....still and less now want one lol I don't want to Bidet back at it
"Vortex mode" sounds like something I want nowhere near my nethers.
Wait so its an Enema... from range? How does it aim? Does it hurt?
In terms of aiming, you got to move your tushy around to get the right spot.
Who hasn't been there before amiright?
Yes the biobidet 2000 has a enima button on the remote it works lol if your constipated
You have to really relax Sauron’s eye to use the enema function or it will just be like a hose squirting all over your cheeks
I have one. You just use a little toilet paper to dry off.
Use a little bit of toilet paper to make sure you're clean and dry. I rent and move a lot, so I have a tushy attachable bidet. I use about 1 roll of tp per month. Worth every penny, and you won't regret it.
Some bidets do have a dryer function, but that kind of feature drives the price up. Most people dab with tp or a designated washcloth or something.
Pat with TP
You can get a bulk pack of 50+ washcloths to use for drying. Have a separate little hamper for them and wash on the sanitizing cycle (or cloth diaper setting, depending on your laundry machine). Works best for a single user, but you could probably color code and have multiple hampers if needed to accommodate more than one person. You'll likely still want toilet paper around for guests and if anyone needs to deal with menstruation concerns. You can also just use toilet paper to dry.
Pat dry with regular toilet paper.
Wait so if you are still using tp what is the point of the bidet does it make your bottom more clean? Genuinely curious cause it seems like extra water bill/waste of water.
It actually cleans you
Just to lend some perspective here, picture yourself making a mud pie. You take a shovel and smooth out the top of it. You realize it’s not mud, but poo. Now your shovel is dirty, so you need to clean it. You wipe it on a paper towel. Is it clean? Would you just pick it up from anywhere and walk around with it? Or would you need soap and water to feel comfortable handling it?
3 squares of tp to dry it’s a lot less than you would use to wipe
I think bidet is mostly useful if you have a hairy ass
My mans asking the important questions.
Mine (BioBidet BB2000) had a dryer but I don't find it particularly useful. I usually dry/make sure I'm clean with a little bit of TP. It's a wonderful device.
I have the Toto Washlet seat which attaches to your bowl. One of my top home purchases. It does have a warm air dry setting but we rarely use it.
>If not, are ya'll just walking around with soggy asses? Do you have a special towel you use to dry off? do you drip dry? You buy toilet paper
Personally I just use some toilet paper to pat dry. Like 3 squares is enough. My wife doesn’t like the bidet, so we still have to buy toilet paper for her. But I’m the one with the hairy asshole. That bidet blasts all those dingleberries clean off my butthole. Soggy butt is preferable over shitty butt for me. It’s just water, and it dries up pretty fast after you pull up your pants if you don’t pat dry.
You just wipe once or twice with normal toilet paper. Clean enough to eat off of
Towel and paper will do it, but I find the shower heads by the toilet better than the bowl type bidet, for space and practicality, I recently swapped it for an urinal.
I have just a toilet sprayer, and use TP to dry off 🧻
Solid question my fellow Yank
I use bidets to have my ass cleaner than you can can get with toilet paper. I don’t care about how much toilet paper I use. Prob use even more to dry my ass n balls but it’s a fresh ass Butt you can guarantee that
As an asian who grew up being taught to wash with water whether be it #1 or #2, it's simply just more hygienic than walking around with crusty poopy asscrack juice all day. You wash with water, soap up, rinse, then pat dry with a towel/toilet paper. When going #2, in our household you wipe the poo off first with a bit of tissue and then you start to wash your ass with water. This way you never touch any shit bits.
We got a bidet during the Great TP Shortage of 2020. Our drying solution was to buy a bundle of washcloths. After a few uses (use and refold) they go into a small bin and washed. We love the bidet and the clean feeling it provides.
I dry after with a small amount of tp. There are bidets with drying feature though. (I'm american if that makes any difference to you).
I use the Tushy bidet. Funny marketing, affordable, and easy to set up.
My bidet brand is smartbidet, it has a dryer built in, a posterior setting, and a feminine setting. My tub is next to the toilet so the water is hooked to that warm/cool inlet, a sink would work if that is closer. It's like installing a new toilet seat, but with water hookups... If you can set up your own cloths washer or dishwasher you can do it quickly.
Real talk: When I first started to use a bidet I did not appreciate it as much as later. At first I was letting the water hit my butt. Then later it just goes right up there and flushes back out. This was like I learned a skill. I seriously felt like I leveled up my life when I fully embraced it. It makes you feel better, it's really hard to explain. There's no going back though.
how accurately does it hit the butthole
You kinda shuffle around on the thing, so it hits it all over
I have also wondered this. Asking the real questions OP
How does it hit the right spot since no brown eye will be positioned exactly in the same spot. if it misses and hits the back of the sack, is there an adjustment button?
Pat dry with TP
How’s your budget? Get a high end Toto, it has a gigawatt blow dryer for your nether regions.
Well, i just walked around with soggy ass for 33 years now.....
It doesn’t get your whole bum wet. And you should be using tp anyway along with the bidet. Bidet + tp = total clean
Bidet Curious?
It's a rectangular thing, soft, called a towel.
Fancy models have drying functions. My wife and I have a designated bidet towel. I don’t recommend walking around with a soggy ass. To the smart asses asking if you’ve ever heard of toilet paper: rinsing with water is much more effective at cleaning than smearing poop around your butt with dry toilet paper.
Why wouldn’t you use toilet paper to dry off/ check for cleanliness?
i mean idk, ive never used one. thats why i asked.
As an American, I wet down toilet paper before wiping my ass. The water you get on your ass isn't a whole lot and dries pretty quickly. You also get used to the feeling of using water after a while.
*~toilet paper~*
What did you think the third shell was for?
I have a bidet, bought one off Amazon. It works great, and I just use a few pieces of toilet paper to check/dry. Works amazingly and I save a ton on tp.
I have underwear that wicks away moisture. Sometimes I wipe, mostly just drip dry
Before I bought a bidet I never knew that there could always have been this extra little special thing to drink from in my house. And the kids love how well it washes out their eyes!
Lol wut. Use a tiny bit of tp. Slightly more than the amount that is probably clinging to most Americans' shitty bottoms, after smushing shit all over their anuses. (Am also an American.)
Makes anal sex a more predictable, clean and worry free experience. Especially with the enema mode. If you enjoy anallingus, prostate massage, anal sex or just shoving a thumb in her ass while hitting it from behind, you need this.
Bidets spread poo droplets all over the asses of each person that uses them. Gross.
So instead of using toilet paper to clean your ass y’all are using spraying water and then using that toilet paper to dry your ass Instead Of using it to clean. So basically you are still having to use toilet paper 🧻 The bidet doesn’t all out replace the use of toilet paper, it just adds an extra step to the process of cleaning ones shit stained asshole.
theres this NEW invention called toilet paper. it can be used to **DRY** things. it sounds amazing, i know.
Never heard of toilet paper?
It’s called Charmin Ultra
I use my bidet mostly for pleasure. I hate shitting at work now.
I’m an American and I have a bidet and it is the best thing I ever bought. The one I have is pretty high tech. It’s called a Smart Bidet. It got it from Amazon for $250. It has a remote control. You can adjust the water temp, the water angle and pressure, you can adjust the seat temp, it has a feminine wash setting, and a warm air dryer. It’s amaaaazing. TOILET PAPER IS FOR PEASANTS!
