That's why even if you use bidets, you need toilet paper as backup.

I've only ever used cold water since I have one of those that go on the supply line. It just gets colder the longer you use it.

[–] WraithGear 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

You do not need to use water heaters for your bidet! I have used the cold only, in below zero degree weather, and it’s fine, pleasant even.

We will never be able to get along with such fundamental core differences.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

Some parts of the population has fundamental differences from the majority that inspires fear and loathing, but we should strive to rise above such affects (if that's the right word) and realize that they can be reintegrated into society by camps where they relearn how to proper wash their bung with proper warmth

Probably saw the ceiling up close

You might mean achieving sudden vertical velocity, but I like to think he stayed put while achieving eyesight superpowers even if for a brief moment before reacting, saw things the way the camera did in that famous shot in Jaws of Roy Scheider's face getting the dolly zoom treatment.

Thusly.

Bidet users are like Linux users, they just can't shut up about it 😂

[–] cynar 45 points 1 day ago (2 children)

On a completely unrelated note, I recently got an air fryer. They're awesome! 😎

No, but I do!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I have one too. They're pretty neat for a lot of things, except fries.

[–] needthosepylons 7 points 19 hours ago

Re-reads through the thread

Ok, phew, were were not talking about bidets anymore. I was getting confused.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They're pretty good for fries, but the brand of fries matters a lot

[–] [email protected] 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

i guess the brands I tried weren't very good then

[–] [email protected] 3 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

If you happen to be European, see if you can find Aviko (not sure what countries apart from the Netherlands they're available in), they've been pretty good in my experience

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

I live in Belgium so I might be able to find them too, ty!

You could also take a potato, clean them and cut them up to your liking (I make round planks). Then put some flour, garlic and salt in a plastic baggie. Nuke the potato (a large for about 5 minutes). They seem to have enough moisture, but if they don't, dip them in milk or egg and shake them in the baggie and then lay them out. I have a slow working air fryer, so it would take about 30 minutes, but most people would probably take about 20. I especially like sweet potatoes this way.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In both cases, maybe I'd more frequently be able to resist the temptation to talk about both subjects if I had the option to use them at work.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

Travel bidet. You're welcome.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

May i have a moment of your time to talk about our lord and saviour, Linus Torvalds?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Lol. They like "The splash."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 21 hours ago

Iced the ol' vovos, huh?

It's worse if your cold water piping heats up in summer. So much worse.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Honestly, cold water is fine, even that cold.

Here's why. First, your bungholio is one of the hottest spots on body, so while there might be a moment of surprise if the water is really cold, it will only be a moment. Then, the anus and gluteal fold aren't particularly temperature sensitive. Pressure, yes. But temperature, they just don't pick up that kind of sensation as well as even the glutes themselves. Test it some time. A splash of cold water on you butt cheeks compared to your butt hole, it just won't bother you as much on the hole.

Also, depending in how your bidet is set up, you might not ever get warm water at all. There are definitely bidets that warm the water in the bidet, but most of them just run a pipe to the pipes under a sink or wherever. Which means the warm water has to come from the heater, through the pipes, and to your poop-pipe. It only takes a few seconds for the majority of a healthy poo's worth of residue to be gone. Even less healthy, or unhealthy poos won't take minutes of time.

So, you end up with your end only experiencing the cold anyway, unless you run it to get it warm before sitting down. Which isn't a good idea for other reasons, what with the water being a mini fountain.

Plus, the cool water feels nice.

As an unheated bidet user, yeah, this tracks.

PSA: for anyone inferring things from this comment:

While the nerves around the asshole may not be super temperature sensitive, the rectum (which should not really be involved in your bidet usage, ideally you fully evacuate your bowels and use the bidet only to clean the anus externally) is important to your core temperature. Something like a cold bidet (which is by necessity at least 0*C) is not a problem, a cold buttplug is. You can safely use a refrigerated (or even frozen) dildo, but don’t involve temperature play in your anal play.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

So what you’re saying is if someone is going through heat stroke, save them by giving them an ice buttplug?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

Nice catch! I wouldn't have thought of it since I was focused on the bidet aspect, and I tend to forget that people will try anything with their butts if they don't know better. Thank you.

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

Then, the anus and gluteal fold aren’t particularly temperature sensitive. Pressure, yes.

Ok yeah i was bout to say my A&GF were particularly sensitive that time i sat down on the shampoo bottle

“I tripped and fell I swear!”

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Haha! It actually taught me those folks in the ER are definitely fulla crap cuz there's no way it's going in there without your explicit consent (and probably some deep breaths)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seriously, cold water feels fine back there. Refreshing, even.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago
[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Plenty of bidets have a storage tank with pre heated water or heat the water prior to spraying your butt hole.

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

And in the UK the storage tank has hot tea.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Made my day, thanks!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Yea. In Japan I've never used a bidet that didn't heat the water. That's the standard here as far as I can tell.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Then you have european style bidets, you may not be bothered by the cold water on your ass, but your hand will be an ice block by the time you are done.

Cold shock proteins healed their ‘roids.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day ago

That’s my secret cap, my bidet is only connected to the cold tap all the time.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

... give an ice dildo or buttplug a try ...

[–] CleoTheWizard 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 46 minutes ago

So maybe do a little?

[–] then_three_more 6 points 1 day ago

Don't knock it until you've tried it
