Why YSK: It’s cleaner, cheaper and more convenient than toilet paper

    I’m from the US. While I have travelled to locales where they are commonplace, I never actually tried one. When lockdown and the tp crisis started, however, I purchased one online. I now hate having to use any lavatory that doesn’t have a bidet.

    Q - Doesn’t it feel weird? A - No. Some people are worried that it may feel sexual. It doesn’t. It’s just a localized shower on your ass, which is something you hopefully do regularly.

    Q - Won’t it just push detritus away from the epicenter and make a mess? A - It can, if the bidet has narrow spray. Mine does this. Just do a quick shimmy that makes the jet draw a decreasing radius spiral.

    Q - Doesn’t everything get wet? A - Some bidets have air dryers, but in the absence of, yes. Keep tp in the lav to address this. The quick wipe to address this still saves a ton of tp.

        I should clarify that I live in a remote area where a lot of people are homophobes. Anything directed towards one’s ass is, as the kids would say, sus af to these folks.

            The “let me be hyperfocused on sexualizing other men’s anuses to show how straight and manly I am” crowd.

          These people have serious issues. So, cleaning your butt makes you gay? Is toothbrushing OK, though?

        All well and good until a guest uses your bathroom and then comments on the thoughtfulness of you setting up that container of damp facecloths for them to freshen up with.

        Nice, when I was writing my original comment I was wondering about doing it that way
