I purchased a relatively cheap bidet recently and it is the single best life upgrade I have ever made . It paid for itself in the first 2 months of not having to buy toilet paper (or at least not nearly as much). It is amazing, I highly recommend.

The waffle rifle

Preach the bidet gospel, brother.

So many dudes can't get over the butt stuff, it's hilarious.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

2 months! I should try this out... if i was still single, a 12 pack would last me like 3 months if not more. Having a wife? A 36 pack lasts like 1 month... its literally a roll a day. It drives me nuts because I honestly can't understand how half of that isn't just waste (if not more).

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah women in my house use over a roll per day too and I have no idea how because a roll lasts me over a month

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm half convinced my daughter eats the stuff.

[–] devfuuu@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

It's a good strategy. When it exits it auto cleans.

Two things I don’t get about bidets: How do you know you’re clean, and how do you dry off without leaving toilet paper lint everywhere?

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t get about bidets: How do you know you’re clean

Precisely my question to those who don't use them

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You know you're clean when there's no poo on the paper.

[–] shininghero@pawb.social 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It's an assisting tool, not the primary cleaning method. Blasts off bulk material and loosens up whatever's left, but you still need TP to finish the job. A lot less, but you still need some.
As for lint, that happens regardless of the use of a bidet. Nothing changes there.

i still don't understand how people do this dry. disgusting.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Which is why bidet is the only civilized solution.

Toilet paper is for dabbing your little tushy dry, not raking across, and smashing in, loose poopy on your ass.

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Love my Japanese toilets. It's funny that people find them gross here. I think it's gross to only use paper to remove shit from your ass. If you get shit on your hands, would you only wipe them with paper?

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Reading this and then immediately reading your username made me lol. But fair.

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Toilet paper is also for cleaning the seat and rim of the bowl, every single time. Bidets shouldn't be amazing, but given traditional society, they certainly are.

Yarp, and when you are cutting jalapenos and accidentally touch your eyes it doubles as an emergency eye wash. /s

I do love my bidet though

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I bet your ass smells like apple pie.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

Well you’re wrong because it smells like Apple Strudel but for reasons that are wholly unrelated to bidet.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Hahahahah, you dont know how to use the three sea shells.

[–] RawrGuthlaf@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 day ago

South park, season 26 episode 3, I highly recommend.

[–] anachrohack@piefed.world 35 points 1 day ago (11 children)

I went to Thailand at the end of last year and used a simple bidet (called a bum gun) for the first time. The VERY first thing I did when I got home to the US was buy one of these kits for like $30 and installed it on my toilet myself. Took like 15mins and changed my life. Now whenever I travel around the US I feel like a savage, having to take a shit in hotel and office bathrooms without a bidet.

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can also buy travel bidets. Basically squeeze bottles that you can direct to the right places. Not as good as an actual bidet, but better than nothing.

scoop shit out of your ass

I think OP goes deeper than I do. A lot deeper.

[–] TurboHarbinger@feddit.cl 5 points 1 day ago

Try finger but hole.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

His look clearly says "WTF. 'Out' of?! How many knuckles deep do you think is normal, and who taught you that?"

[–] Demdaru@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Who shits anyway? Just go elbow deep, grab that sonova and drag it outta 'ere.

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Which came first? Muddin' for catfish or shit-fishin' your own swamp?

Scooping..? Can I introduce you to a thing called fiber?

[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ya seriously, if you have enough structure to your poop you won't need to scoop. You can pull them out like when you make a small cut just big enough for 1 wiener in a pack of hot dogs to limit oxidation.

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] TheReanuKeeves@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Side note, I creeped your profile a little bit to make sure you would understand my humour, and clearly you did because you sent me the "I want a hot dog now" emoji. And I noticed you responded to someone who said Reanu Keeves was the most creative name they've seen and now I'm paranoid

Get a bidet. Get a bidet. Get a bidet.

Why are we still neanderthals about this?

[–] don@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because a lot of fear, outright ignorance, misconceptions, and other internalized beliefs.

In some cases people talk about “shit water running down my legs!”, so I don’t think they can visualize the water falling down into the bowl, and leaning a bit to one side to wipe dry. Or (possibly? idk) they think you stand up to use the bidet.

Another one is fear of the spray spreading bacteria around, or the like.

Then there is that the admittedly low bar for entry of installing the bidets is enough friction to not deviate from scraping-based insanity.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I got mine in pandemic during the TP outages. I have gone through so little TP since then. My girlfriend accounts for 95% of its usage because she won't use it.

[–] don@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

Wise move. Yep, I got one of those mega packs of tp around April of ‘21, still have entire rolls left. That pack cost ~ $13.

Also, my deepest condolences regarding your girlfriend. Not all can, or will, accept a better way when shown one.
