A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Why aren't baby wipers our default?

I can recommend HappyPo, a portable bidet.

I must be using it wrong. It just makes my butt wet, not really easier to wipe.

Hard to say. I like to lean forward and to the side, lifting one butt cheek off the seat and then I do sploosh with relatively much pressure.

One mistake I've made at first, is to be a bit overzealous with the wiping. In order to be clean, you only need the outside of the sphincter to be clean. Trying to clean beyond there is rather pointless, as that's the inside of your rectum, where your body literally stores shit.
But with toilet paper, you can obviously reach beyond that, which will return a stained toilet paper and make it look like you weren't clean yet.

Guess that's the reason.
