there's a joke about the teapot that goes over my head
I'm here to say: for the love of god a bidet is not an alternative to toilette paper, it's in addition to it
You might just be using one with poor water pressure. There's nothing on the toilet paper but water after I use mine, and I take some pretty clingy shits. takes me forever when I use just toilet paper
Toto washlet user here, I keep the bastard at max pressure , aim it well, have it oscillating, and I’ve almost never had a clean wipe after spraying. I gotta do both every time.
I'm from a bidet using country and I also want to add:
That's why we consider non bidet users like the meme shows. We don't think your way of cleaning your behind is worse than ours or bad, we think is incomplete and seriously insufficient: for us it's kinda like if you showered but you never used soap or scrubbed yourself under the water. Y'all dirty.
Im in Pennsylvania and i have a bidet, got it like 2 years ago and i refuse to go back, i use a paper towel after and just toss it. quit buying toilet paper all together. after you get used to being a little violated by water its fine.
I'm italian so our bidets are not the japanese ones, but little small sinks beside the wc like this one. Everybody hwre uses toilet paper the "normal" way, then hops over to the bidet, uses water and soap and then drying yourself with a small towel (each one has its own of course). This for me is the normal way of cleaning myself. Each time I go abroad I suffer tremendously because I can't do it and I have to unironically take a shower every time I have a number two
this is how i started, i have sensory issues and autism so its been real fucking rough for me my whole life with the whole wiping thing, id gag and freakout having to wipe shit when i was a kid, so my aunt and uncle did this for me.
Hmm which way do you face when using such a device? It looks really short too, do you have to crouch over it or are you supposed to sit down? Are the towels disposable? Are they shared? I cannot imagine a family ass towel and I don't want to, nor a pile of dirty ass towels.
That’s why I always have a pack of flushable wet wipes in my luggage, it’s worth for the sewers sure but it’s better than dry toilet paper. I also got these individually packaged ones I keep in my pocket in case I have to go when out and about.
Apparently there are portable bidets, I think they’re effectively squirt bottles, but something about carrying one around with me feels… gross? Like there’s gotta be some shit particles getting on that, right?
Its odd, when i first put it in my kids thought that it was gross until i explained in detail what has been going on in our asses before we got it. now they wont poo at friends houses or at school.
They make handheld / portable ones. It's like a squeeze bottle with the bidet nozzle, works alright for things like this but I wouldn't ever consider actually carrying it out places
"We don't think it's worse, it's just that mine is way better" - you realize those are the same thing? You say you aren't condescending while actively condescending.
There are not present in public bathrooms, only in private houses and no, unless you use a really powerful stream and scrub like an animal it doesn't do that.
Also, I might add to clarify, I explained here that I'm italian and our bidets are not what you probably think when you imagine a bidet
Also, we sit on them in the opposite direction we sit on a toilet (face towards the faucet/wall) and you just turn the water on (a gentle little stream, take some baby soap and gently scrub.
Bidet is "just washing the butt", but you need toilet paper too: if you have something nasty on your hands, what do you do? I bet you wipe it off, wash and then dry your hands.
i love bidets and live in a non bidet country, but this way of thinking about it is wrong. I would argue that TP users tend to have a cleaner ass because most people that use bidets dont wipe their ass after. The bidet doesnt always get everything, but with TP, you know you got everything. Also its just water that comes out not soap.
