    I bought bidets for the house during the COVID toilet paper lunacy and it’s likely the best personal hygiene investment I’ve ever made. I still get upset when I have to poop somewhere that doesn’t have a bidet.

      I installed mine during COVID lockdowns - wife got one as a gift for baby shower and we never used it but 2 years later I broke it out during the dark times for toilet paper and it saved our ass, literally. Definitely the best improvement ever, yet some people do feel weird about them, like middle schooler homophobia or some shit

        Obviously, everyone has their reason for things, but I do find it rather amusing that some can draw that kind of line in logic. Shower? Wet wipes? Totally cool. Bidet? Whoa, that might say the wrong thing about me!

        Like, cleaning physically sensitive bits with water, isn’t sex. Nor does it regard a connotation to any specific proclivities toward sexual preferences. It only means that you don’t have to walk around with smeared shitalcles and clingy bits of tp stuck way down in the valley.

          Woah. Wait a minute. Who’s making this sexual? Didn’t even consider that.

    Yeah people are weird about bidets. They’re obviously a great invention

    I like the extremely narrow opinion held by whoever took the original screenshot, judging from their use of the agree/disagree buttons. They believe that some form of washing is necessary, but only the exact amount of a bidet— using soap is too much. A very specific middle ground.

    ‘stream of water’ is wrong characterization, it’s about a power-washing jet – blast off those poo particles

    Or you know, wash with water AND soap. I wash with a bidet and use liquid soap along with it. That’s no different than washing in the shower.

    I got one after a surgery because I couldn’t touch my butthole without screaming. And I still thought they were weird. Now I can’t stand it if one isn’t available. Fwiw, if you are a relatively clean pooper the toilet paper is mainly for drying off.

      You commenting here proves you’re not using Jerboa. Or was the keyboard bug finally fixed?

        Considering I have no idea what you’re talking about I’ll say it was.

        There is a bug with the GrapheneOS keyboard being strangely buggy when backspacing (it gets confused about where the word starts so if you delete the last letter of a word it will instead delete the space just before the word which is annoying as hell) however that bug is definitely not exclusive to Jerboa and only happens with that keyboard so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Yep, that’s the bug I’m talking about. I had it and I’m not using GrapheneOS so for me the app was ‘read only’ and I stopped using it. And it was exclusive to Jerboa for me, all the other apps work fine.

    I don’t think I’m going to smell anyone’s asshole in a nearby future and I pray you don’t either, friend.

    Wipe until clean, spray your anus with water, just get the job done and shower often.

      If only most wet wipes weren’t non-flushable (even if they say they are, many are in fact not) and terrible for the environment. Still have to find a good brand.

        I wondered why, till I temember that the wet wipes I bought half a year ago mentioned it had no plastics and were safe to flush I think.

        I dont use wet wipes anyway but I guess when they tell you its ok then its ok, right?

          Even when they do tell you it’s ok, it’s probably not ok. Toilet paper is designed to disintegrate rapidly in water, hence why it’s easily flushable because by the time it’s actually going down the pipes it’s all ripped up already. Wet wipes, even the “flushable” ones stay intact. You can try this at home, take two cups of water, in one put in a few sheets of toilet paper, in the other put it a wet wipe. Stir them both for a minute to simulate flushing them down the toilet. The toilet paper rips up and what clumps are leftover are pretty small. Wet wipes stay completely intact, which is why they cause problems down the line when they’re flushed.

    My old flatmate would shower after every. single. shit. Which was fine in the afternoon/evening. But we got up for work at the same time, and he’d take 20mins in the shower plus 10-15 pooping. Which meant I’d have to be up an hour earlier than I needed to be to be able to poop in the morning…
