You Should Know

My favorite pro-bidet argument from chainsawsuit.com

Imagine you get your hands covered in sticky filth. Do you wash them at a sink or just wipe them off with some paper and call it good?

Why do any different for your ass?

I'm from the US. While I have travelled to locales where they are commonplace, I never actually tried one. When lockdown and the tp crisis started, however, I purchased one online. I now hate having to use any lavatory that doesn't have a bidet.

Q - Doesn't it feel weird? A - No. Some people are worried that it may feel sexual. It doesn't. It's just a localized shower on your ass, which is something you hopefully do regularly.

Q - Won't it just push detritus away from the epicenter and make a mess? A - It can, if the bidet has narrow spray. Mine does this. Just do a quick shimmy that makes the jet draw a decreasing radius spiral.

Q - Doesn't everything get wet? A - Some bidets have air dryers, but in the absence of, yes. Keep tp in the lav to address this. The quick wipe to address this still saves a ton of tp.

I did some travels in places where bidets are common, here's my take:

• Egypt - basically a brass pipe targeted at your hole, everyone shitting oh it - no for me
• Italy - standalone, you have to jump over - impractical, takes too much space
• Japan/Korea - toilets from space, heated seat warm, water and dryer - comfy, but you need electricity, and if it fails, expensive
• Finland - a shower attached to the toilet's water intake - just cold water, but it's fine, that's the easiest to install and use

This is the kind of quality content that will get people to move away from reddit.

We got a bidet during COVID, my only issue with it is the fact that it ruins every other non-bidet having bathroom forever.

There are about a million people here all saying the same thing. It’s amazing, it’s better than you think, and once you use one, you will never ever go back.

It’s all true. When you poop in a public restroom or at a friends house without one, you will feel tainted.

In the winter if you’re worried about cold water, you should know the anus is not very temperature sensitive. I suppose because in our evolutionary past we did not use our anus much to sense the temperature of objects.

I'll never understand how people live without a bidet.

OK, so, I actually did this a few months ago!

But, in my opinion, it is not a 100% replacement for toilet paper. First, everything gets wet after using-and if you're hairy like me you really do want to dry it, and I use TP to do that. Also, I've noticed that it doesn't always get everything-and using some TP to dry off is also a good way to make sure everything is clean.

And it also has a good bit of spray that will land on the seat and the bidet itself. You need to clean that off, I tend to do it with toilet paper when I stand up.

You won't stop using TP, but you'll certainly use less of it, I think I use about half as much now as before.

I installed one shortly before the pandemic started and ended up looking like Nostradamus.

You don't realize you want one until you have it.

You should also know that if you do this, when you go on vacation you are going to have one seriously sore butthole until you get home again.

I got a Tushy classic bidet a year ago. It is amazing! For anyone out there that uses more toilet paper than you think you should, gets a raw bum from wiping, or wants to get three times cleaner, a bidet is for you. I'm a dude, but also my wife loves it. Honestly, one of the best purchases per dollar I have ever made and one that reminds me daily.

If you got poop on your hands, what do you think will get you cleaner? Couple of wipes with toilet paper or rinsing in the sink with water.

Have been using bidet my entire life. It's a must! This post should be more of a PSA rather than YSK.

I honestly have no idea why bidets haven't taken off in the US. After travelling to other countries though, had to buy one for my home toilet. And now I hate having to poop elsewhere where there's no bidet.

Please God, I beg you all to do this. I mean no disrespect to y'all at all.

I have been using a bidet/health faucet/Jet spray all my life. I was so shocked and disgusted when I found out people in the west used toilet paper 🤢🤢

I've used toilet paper a few times in emergencies and I've regretted it everytime. The difference between water and paper in cleaning your butt is so vast.

Imagine you got poop on your arm and decided to wipe it away with toilet paper. You know there's still poop on it. The same thing goes for your butt. Clean your butt!

I keep seeing bidets recommended. Ive thought about getting one, but I'm not sure.

Are there any vagina owners here that can testify to them? I'm worried it will just spray poop up into my bits.

40$ attachment and no more swamp ass. Say goodbye to foul balls. And no more tainted taint.

This post convinced me to order one. I'm moving on up!

Now this is the kind of content I want more of going forward x

What the fuck bidets are not common in the West? Scared that it will spray poop bits in vagina??? What's going on over there.

laughs in Italian yes come to the right side of personal hygiene

I've tried them before and have never had a good experience. It either is too high pressure and hurts, or it's too low pressure and doesn't clean.

And I'm not particularly a fan of how wet everything gets down there after using one.

Is there a particular trick to them or, am I missing something?

We have bidets on each toilet and will never go back. Its impossible.

Another upvote for the Bidet. Super easy to install, I think mine was £40 and it's a life changer.

Be warned, once you go bidet you can never go back.

Got one for Christmas and it had been a revolutionary improvement for my pooping life. Now every time I travel or have to poo in public I spend the whole time pouting and thinking wistfully about my bidet at home.
