I wipe sitting. I think most people probably do. Standing up will push your arse cheeks together, so the poo inside the crack will just smear everywhere.
As for bidets, I don't use them. They're very rare in my country. I just wipe with toilet paper. I try to get my arse as clean as possible with the toilet paper, so I wipe multiple times.
Thank you for reading my post about my pooing habits.
Rare or not, get a bidet for home. It's like $25 US for a basic model, and you will never go back. I feel like an absolute savage when I can't use a bidet now. My best argument is this: Imagine if you fell into a pile of manure. Would you just get some dry paper towel and wipe yourself off and call it good?
If your answer is anything other than no, I don't have a rebuttal, but you do you.
In answer to the question, I still wipe the water away sitting down. Standing up doesn't make any sense as you essentially make a shit sandwich with your cheeks... and even though I'm clean down there now - I learned that way and don't plan on changing.
I used a $30 bidet for about 6 years. It's has always been amazing. We finally redid our bathroom so I went with a deluxe heated seat, heated water, blow dryer, etc. Gat damn is it wonderful, but it will spoil you. Makes pooping anywhere else dreadful. I'm trying to solve this by gifting my friends bidets for Christmas. So far it's working.
Oy, get your clean ass outta here.
I know exactly what you mean. People are too embarrassed to talk about this basic truth truth: if I go back to somebody's house on a date and they don't have a bidet, I'm not going to do butt stuff with them.
I love my bidet, but I can't get anyone else on board. How do you get people comfortable with sharing one? I've attempted to get my sisters to try mine, but they both think a bidet is like a personal item and gross to share.
"Yet you happily use both my toilet and my sink, and my ass cheeks regularly touches one of those."
Forcing them to guess which one might help hasten the transition.
Wow, bidets for $30? It can be $1k to $3k cad just for the bowl here. It's like $500 and up just for the seats! That doesn't account for the other bits and bobs you need to get it all installed.
They are bolt on seats only, not a full toilet style bidet. You can see a bunch of them here on amazon. tushy ones seem to be pretty popular over on the place that will not be named. They are low on frills (like no heated water typically).
Personally, I splurged for a Kohler with all the bells and whistles (definitely wasn't $30). OMG it's hands down the greatest thing I have ever bought. Heated seat, air dry, heated water, amongst other things.
I think the price difference is between electric and not electric. the electric ones are pricier. The ones that don't use electricity are much cheaper. These kits don't come with a seat or a bowl and use your existing toilet.
Lol if I fell in manure I wouldn't just take the hose and wash it off, then paper towel dry either. There would definitely be LOTS of saop involved. Just saying.
I'm in total agreement though. Got a nice bidet seat and it's hands down the best thing ever. I hate using bathrooms in the wild, at all, because they lack the heated seat my bidet has, in addition to the lack of the bidet part.
So get a battery powered portable bidet! I’m in the US and the one I got has been a life saver.
Thanks I do the same
