A bidet. You can install it yourself in 20 minutes and enjoy a lifetime of cleaner buttholes and save on tp.

Sitting on one right now, clean cornholio!

I'll never 'go' without one!

Seriously though, bidets rock. Try one, get a good one, and you'll never go back.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Every time I’ve tried to use a bidet, I’ve hated it. The water feels uncomfortable and sudden, and then I feel like I either can’t get dry with toilet paper and get chapped later, or it breaks up from the water and leaves pieces everywhere. The air dry varieties seem to contribute to chapped butt too. I know some people use wash cloths, but frankly the idea of leaving butthole cloth out in the bathroom weirds me out also.

What is the secret to enjoying these things? Am I just too damn American for them?

[-] Neeen@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 year ago

When I use a bidet at home, I always do a few wipes first to avoid the breakup. Then I pat down with tp after to dry.

I get that some people want to save tp, but I just want to feel clean after I drop a bomb.

[-] lemmefixdat4u@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Saving TP is a minor benefit. More important is never getting monkey butt, never embarrassed because your significant-other/FWB/date sees skid marks in your underwear, and no irritation from excessive wiping if you have sticky poop.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's still saving a significant amount of TP even with the double wipe. Before I got a bidet I was wiping upwards of 5-10 times after some shits.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But what about the chapped butt? For real, the three times I’ve gotten to use one for more than a week (fancy ones in hotels), I end up feeling like a baby with diaper rash. I’d use triple the TP gladly just to avoid that feeling. I’m not someone who has that happen to them normally either, so it was definitely the bidets.

[-] xaxl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It's odd that you're getting that. Are you sure you're actually using a bidet and not your garden hose?

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Fancy Japanese bidet at a Hawaii resort, heated seats, temperature control, three speed blow dry, aiming modes—the works. It was horrible.

[-] lemmefixdat4u@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Your body will quickly get used to using a bidet. It's like shaving - the first time you shave your skin is dried out, but your body quickly adapts. If chapping is a problem, a dab of hand lotion or some lip balm solves it.

Smoked a dab, butt still wet, instructions unclear.

[-] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 0 points 1 year ago

The key is to use a hose and not a fixed one. The fixed ones don't really allow you to clean where you'd like whereas the hose ones let you aim wherever. At least that's how it's been in my experience.

[-] necromancyr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

You have to do the bidet dance with a fixed one, works just as well.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

But then what is the drying strategy? That is my biggest problem.

[-] kamenoko@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Spring for one with a warm water reservoir... your anus will thank you.

[-] saegiru@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I was looking for this, glad I found it. Bidets are life changing on a level that's honestly hard to describe. Basically, it's kind of like that super addictive game from S5E6 of Star Trek The Next Generation, except without the negatives. I've you start, you can't stop.

[-] aceshigh@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

How cold is the water when it hits you?

[-] ExperimentalGuy@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

Depends on the water that ur toilet gets. They usually hook up to the toilet reservoir intake (I don't know the actual word for this, it's just the backrest part). All the bidets I've used have been fine, I haven't had any thatre like too hot or too cold then again, unlike Goldilocks, I'm not too picky ab temperature.

[-] Jazsta@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I actually don't mind it, especially in the summer. You can get heated ones that cost more. Maybe my anus isn't that temperature sensitive?

[-] Aux@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

You can just use a shower and save some money and time.

[-] Jazsta@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

How does getting in the shower save time over the 10 seconds it takes to spray your bhole?

[-] sixty@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Don't you get shit water all over your taint and cheeks?

[-] Jazsta@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can see why you would think that happens, but it either doesn't happen, or it does and the shit water gets washed away by the continuous spray of clean water just like taking a shower.
