Dude wipes are the most toxic masculine bullshit product I’ve ever seen. Honestly who the fuck buys that shit except the most fragile male ego in the universe

[–] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I liked the answer that I once saw here: "Real men do whatever the fuck they want." No one cares about this kind of judgmental assholery.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Real men have painted nails when their kids say it's time to paint nails

[–] Clent 2 points 5 months ago

Yes, Real Men™️ fall for toxic masculinity marketing tactics. Real Men™️! Also, just your average mindless consumer regardless of gender but Real Men™️, too! Especially, Real Men™️!

Be Real Men™️

Agreed. Stop flushing wipes, none of them are "flushable". If it doesn't dissolve from light manipulation when wet, it's not flushable.

Bidet. Just get one. They're like $30 and take 10min to install. Clean buttholes forever.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I’m sitting on a fine $700 one right now and it’s heaven. My real office.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I can't even imagine what features $700 can buty you in a bidet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Guess I was wrong about price.. it’s $850 but it’s the Toto S550e. Bought it two years ago and haven’t regretted it at all. I’m actually going to have an electrician come out to install plugs in the other bathrooms to put bidets in all of them.

The one I have now also sprays the front area for the ladies to I can’t comment on that but might be why it’s so expensive.

The seat heats, the water is warm that sprays, auto open… pretty much all you need. I will say that as a dude on the taller side (6’ 2”), I really have to scoot my ass forward quite a bit so I’d probably find something else for my next bidet.

Ah that's a lot more features then even the nice hotel in Korea had. The instant heat and all the automatic stuff is probably why it's so expensive.

The second nozzle for vulvas is standard on even cheap models.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Ah man, you've got a Cadillac.

I had me an old Panasonic model at my old apartment that wasn't as nice but goddamn if you set that MF to the strongest setting 🫨🫨. The thing would clean your ass, rectum and colon lol.

Bidets are great if you’re at home but if you travel you need something

[–] RizzRustbolt 5 points 5 months ago

I've tried to get them to install one at work, but they keep slapping that one down.

You really don't. Toilet paper does the job for 90+% of people, at least in the US.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

And 90+% of the United States population walks around with shit on their ass. It's gross.

To be fair, a moistened wad or two of toilet paper works just as well as "flushable" wipes.

[–] Soup 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Turns out there are a lot of those people. They’re probably doing fine.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 5 months ago

they're probably doing better with cleaner buttholes than if these didnt exist

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If it gets men to take care of themselves....I'm for it.

I know a guy that said he doesn't wash around his ass when he showers because "that's gay as hell". I don't even wanna know what kind of biome he's got flourishing down there.

[–] Clent 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Sounds like the kind of guy that comes out of the closet in their 80's.

[–] bbuez 2 points 5 months ago

Anything other than a bidet, bonus points for charging more for having more 'masculine' advertising

[–] RealFknNito 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I buy them because they smell like mint. I prefer them over normal wet wipes. I didn't think this was such a passionate issue for people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You also seem to be taking it really personally for some reason.

[–] RealFknNito 0 points 5 months ago

I buy the product, the comment attacks people who buy the product. I'm quite literally the target group. "For some reason"

[–] [email protected] -1 points 5 months ago

Yeah same, I got ones that smell like Shea butter, they're pretty nice. I mean if the store had other ones branded differently with the same wipes I would just buy those lol. I feel like the only ones triggered by the imagery are ironically the guys who are insecure in their masculinity and feel threatened by a literal moist toilette.

[–] Clent 2 points 5 months ago

Not to go political but have you paid any attention to the number of supporters of the king of fragile male egos, their king? It's a huuuge market segment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

when you have large hands and a large asshole that takes large messy shits, you need a larger than normal ass wipe. dude wipes is the largest asswipe on the market. no cap.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter 28 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I’m a caregiver for a man who needs coaching through the entire bathroom hygiene process and I can say that in my professional opinion, Dude Wipes are terrible. They pull apart just getting them out of the package (see below), let alone when someone with dexterity issues tries to clean their butthole with them. He ended up with a poop covered hand after pulling the bits of pulled apart dude wipe out from his butt.

They are the largest “flushable” wipes, but are smaller than a normal baby wipe. Flushable wipes shouldn’t be flushed anyway, they’re terrible for every type of sewage system.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Fine, but now big gals with same need to buy “dude wipes.” Just call it heavy duty, or industrial strength.

[–] Tarquinn2049 3 points 5 months ago

Or Carl's jr EXXXTRA BIG-ASS wipes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago
[–] glitchdx 0 points 5 months ago (2 children)

They're larger than regular wipes, and the chemicals are less irritating. Compare to cottonelle wipes which make my down there burn, and the choice is easy. These days I prefer crocodile wipes though.

[–] thorbot 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So then call them “XL wipes” and put a line about sensitive skin

[–] Leg -1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Pass that along to their branding coordinators. No one here can do shit about what products are named.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

We can do a little bit by mocking the branding mercilessly.

[–] thorbot 1 points 5 months ago

I’m just pointing out how stupid it is, you can contact their branding people all you want on my behalf!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Who’s out there wiping crocodiles?!
