I had the urge while out the other day and had to wipe, like a peasant. Bidets should be a right in the kingdom.

Get a little portable bidet. They're not ideal, but it sure beats the awful toilet paper in public bathrooms.

Wait, those exist? I might have to look into it, because I can't install a normal bidet in my apartment (horrible Soviet era piping all over the place)

Are you saying the water supply to the tank is non standard? That's the only piece you need to interact with. I've yet to see a non standard one

They're basically a squishy water bottle... Not ideal but might be worth a try?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

After the birth of my first child I ended up with a hemorrhoid. Truth be told, I was scared shitless to touch anything down there for a couple days after the trauma. They had given me a squishy bottle to rinse myself while everything recovered. Warm water from the tap was heavenly lol.

What is that ref at the end of the link?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (4 children)

LMAO - I haven't seen anyone do that before. Everything after the ? is for site tracking info, so you can remove it. There was a post about it sometime in the last couple weeks that gave examples and where to chop it off to not offer more tracking info.

I know an adult care nurse, she told me "everyone wipes their ass differently and they're all convinced their way is the only way."

[–] [email protected] 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Why would you want to watch that?

Bidet users are depraved kinksters

We had them and then moved to a new place with solid metal lines going to the toilet so I couldn't reinstall our bidets. I lived in luxury for years only to have it snatched away... Don't take your bidet for granted people.

[–] Passerby6497 20 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Does your toilet's water line have connectors on either side, or is it just straight from the wall to the toilet? If the latter, you really need to talk to a plumber, but the former can be solved by just getting a new hose line.

It's a life changing purchase.

Just wipe til the paper comes back red and you're good.

I just do that dog thing where I hitch my legs up and use my arms to drag my ass down the hallway runner.

Meanwhile 1000 generations of Indians stare at you disgusted by your over reliance on technology.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (3 children)

"Technology" in this instance is "little nozzle pointed at bum" 🙃

Sorry what's the joke here? Big parts of India has issues with sanitation

[–] SoonaPaana 7 points 9 months ago (4 children)

Sorry! Didnt mean to offend! Indians typically use their hands to wipe their butts with water. I think it is cleaner and uses less water relatively. The joke I intended to make was that India has been using water to wash themselves for several years whereas the west needed the invention of a bidet to force the change.

can't believe david tennant's husband was the head of one of the largest and most power vampires in the world and david tennant was a vampire expert.

Funny thing is during the time period of the folks dressed here…. They were dirty nasty and thought taking baths actually made you sick. These guys would have had shit encrusting there assholes in cookie cutter shapes like stars and hearts, and they would have smelled worse than a alcoholic who pissed themselves on the subway.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not really. Bathing in the 17th century was more common than a lot of people realize. Check this link out for a historian that argues this in an article: https://frockflicks.com/the-gross-18th-century/
