A bidet and stack of handkerchief for drying. Lint free and water washed is 1000x better than dry paper wiping "peanut butter" off

I love my bidet. I upgraded to one with warm water and a dryer. Massive quality of life improvement for a relatively low cost per use.

Yup. My first one was just an analog dial that split the intake water. I was renting a town home and couldn't put in a GFCI outlet close enough to the toilet.

Let me tell you, it definitely woke me up in the morning.

Not only an option. Extremely cheap too. Like $20-$50. I'm considering an electric one, but mainly because of the dryer. The cold water doesn't bother me at all. Though, I'm sure once I had heated I probably wouldn't want to go back to unheated.

I must say, You guys are making me seriously consider a bidet since the thing that stopped me the most was the difficulty of hooking it up to warm water.

[–] kn33@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's not bad on just cold

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just... don't crank the pressure. 🫣

If you aren't blasting every last fart truffle out of your turd snapper with the watery equivalent of a jackhammer, are you really even clean?

You meant Grabthar's hammer, ofc.

A heated bidet is why I can't bring myself to "shit on company time", and wait instead until I'm home again, so I get those few rejuvenating moments of a spa treatment.

I started with a fancy electric one. A power surge broke something and it heated up to the point where it was extremely hot to the touch. The company wouldn't warranty it because I had it for barely over a year.

I went with non powered one next and the difference is unnoticeable.

I use a cold only bidet at home and it’s amazing, even in winter (I do keep the house at 23°C all year tho)

[–] VibeSurgeon@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Believe it or not, yes. I have quite cold water in my cold water lines, especially during the Swedish winter, and have no trouble using my bidet year round.

You just don't have that much temperature sensation there.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago (2 children)

My testicles are very close to my bum and I know from experience in swimming pools that they are quite sensitive to cold water, thank you very much.

[–] VibeSurgeon@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

They are reasonably close for me as well, they do get a bit splashed when using the bidet.

It's really not that bad.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You'd be aiming the bidet way off-target, if that's the worry.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'd be aiming blind, and as I get older I find my balls have a knack for finding the water as it is.

Don't fret, I had a flatmate back in college who's girlfriend drunkenly mentioned at one of our parties that his touched the water when he sat on the toilet —and his reaction to this was more proof than anyone wanted. 😵

Something tells me that Swedish sphincters pucker at a much lower temp.

[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

I had a heated one for awhile but I've stuck with the simple cold water ones. It was a bit of a shock at first but I don't even notice now. I've been using them for like 15 years, I'm on my fourth now.

Sounds like you could use fewer proteins and fats in your diet.🙃

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

I bought a pack of plush cotton wash cloths for this, same difference but works really nicely, and feels nice.
