How do you not drip back onto it? Do you use paper too? How is it okay for me to use the same one right after Typhoid Larry? Doesn’t poo go everywhere?
Can you explain washing your hands? It seems so weird. Doesn’t the water just drip back on the sink? Do you dry your hands with paper after?
What seems weirder is using paper alone to wipe away feces from your body and doing nothing else during a bowel movement to clean yourself. I cannot understand my own countrymen’s aversion to using them. Squirting your asshole with water does’t make you gay.
If you’re scared of being gay you might actually just be gay.
In all seriousness though, everyone should get a hand bidet installed on their toilets ASAP. Once you squirt your asshole with water to clean the poop off you will immediately realize how disgusting you’ve been up until that moment in your life using only flimsy ass ass paper to wipe shit off your body.
I swear, Puritanism really did a number on North America.
But it does makes me feel fabulous. Hey whatever, buttholes have a lot of nerve endings. That’s not my fault, that’s just nature. And if it feels good AND means I’m clean that’s just a win-win, amirite?
I remember reading a comment thread on reddit about a guy who discovered his friend refused to wash his ass crack in the shower because he thought it was gay.
In the US only the rich have bidets. Do you have an electrical outlet right near your toilet? I don’t want cold water spraying my ass and getting an outlet installed near the toilet in an apartment I don’t own is very expensive.
As someone who has one of the non electric bidets installed and was afraid of having a puckered asshole the first time I used it, it's not that cold. And it's so worth it. I can't go back and will have a bidet everywhere I live in the future.
Your anus can’t feel temperature that much so cold water hitting it really isn’t that big of a deal.
Warm water bidets don’t use electricity, they use a hot water tap from the near by (and generally easily accessible) bathroom sink. Sure you might need to drill a hole in a cabinet but it’s not outrageously inaccessible or expensive to setup. You just need to watch like 2 plumbing youtube videos.
I live in the US. I am not rich. I have a bidet—it is a hand nozzle attached to my toilet’s water tap that cost $30.
Why are you making out like OP is stupid for asking questions about something they clearly just don’t know much about? You could have just answered the questions.
Op didn’t even respond to a single comment here i.e. They are just venting about the ‘weirdness’ of a bidet and not actually looking for answers - just looking to validate their stupid opinion. So calling them out on that is the correct response.
Or, quite possibly, reading others’ answers to a question doesn’t require another response from the questioner no matter how delicate your sensibilities may be. Or maybe OP just is less terminally online than you and hasn’t been back to lemmy since posting this yesterday at 20:03, which is what, 12 whole hr ago during the holiday season?
You use it while still seated so the water drips back into the toilet bowl; no mess there
I do use paper too to dry or further cleaning if needed
If you look at the 3rd picture on the link above you'll see that the sprayer lowers down while spraying and then retracts back behind a guard; I've never seen the guard or sprayer themselves get dirty from general toilet use
No, the water pressure isn't so intense that it would scatter debris everywhere
I first used one at a friend's house and found it does a far better job cleaning compared to just paper alone and would certainly recommend giving it a try
If everyone had a bidet how much more fresh water would we waste ? We need to go to the seashells like in demolition man. Toilet paper and bidets waste resources, sea shells not so much.
Dude just get a bidet thing that you can install under your toilet seat. Just get one, don’t question it! Best 30 € I’ve ever spent!
The thing is that with this you don’t have to clean your ass anymore, it just does it by itself! You don’t have to do anything anymore 💁♂️ and it’s really not strange to use it. One may think it would feel strange but you’ll see. Just get one! Everyone should have one 💁♂️😂
I love my bidet. Since the bidet came into my life I feel unclean after using a non-bidet toilet, even after using wet wipes. Imagine never having monkey-butt (an itchy asshole}. No more skid marks either.
Others have described the normal use of a bidet. I’m here to tell you about advanced bidet techniques. The first is learning the mini enema. You need a bidet with a water jet nozzle. Position yourself so the jet hits the bullseye. Slowly raise the water pressure until it starts filling your rectum with water. This is the hard part - relax. Your initial response will be to clinch shut the ol’ brown eye. When full, turn off the water and let loose in the bowl. Repeat as needed. This cleanses the rectum and prevents those times when you feel like there’s still some poop up inside that won’t come out (because there is). It also prevents anal leakage that produces butt butter.
Once you’ve mastered the mini enema, you can use the technique to battle constipation. Squirt some water in that stuffed up bunghole, fill up, hold it in, stand up, then sit down and enjoy the relief.
It also provides immediate relief from a burning irritated bowel caused by eating Atomic Hot Wings from Wingstop.
Finally, the feminine wash setting is not just for women! After a sweaty workout where you don’t have time for a proper shower, use it to wash your balls. That prevents itchy balls and the embarrassment of being caught scratching them.
The one attached to my toilet has this setup to keep it from getting dirty: there’s a plastic barrier in front of the nozzle, which has a mechanism that causes it to pop out from underneath the barrier when water is flowing through it, and retract back behind the barrier when the water is shut off.
I have a Toto that has a remote to let me control the flow, and it has a blow dryer for my bum. It’s self-cleaning and also has a heated seat. When society collapses it will be the the object I miss most. Haven’t used a poop knife in years.
I can’t speak for the specifics of how to use bidets, but in my experience the general idea is to use them to supplement your daily hygiene rather than as a replacement for toilet paper.
Where I come from (the Mediterranean), it’s not customary to take a shower or a bath every single day. Personally, it’s not possible because the frequent exposure to hot water dries out my skin and worsens my eczema. So the bidet is useful for keeping my private parts clean every day in absence of a full-body wash.
It’s basically a mini bathtub for your crotch. You don’t get into the shower every time you take a shit. Or do you?
its a spray. its like with a water fountain its no issue if people drink from the stream but not if they suck the output (which do to placement can't be done). good ones have hot air dryers.
Most residential bathrooms I’ve been in have had sinks close enough to reach over. If it’s not close I’ll pre wet TP and set it somewhere within reach. If there’s nowhere convenient to place it or it’s a public washroom I just don’t do wet.
You poop first in the toilet and if it was a messy one you use some paper (not all countries’ pipes can handle paper though). Then you go to the bidet and clean there. Let the jet hit your hole and wiggle a bit if need be. Use some paper to dry off. Woman will also wash their privates with the bidet after peeing.
In India and China you also got a hose or just a hose in many places. That requires a bit more finesse due to the risk of giving yourself a shower if you don’t aim well. You might even just get a cup which you fill and use to wash yourself manually. You need to carry some liquid soap and sanitizer when traveling in areas that might require this and keep your fingernails cut short. In remote areas it is a hole next to the animal pen and you bring your own paper.
I got a bidet attachment for my home during the pandemic due to the severe toilet paper hoarding that was going on.
