When people think a bidet is stupid, I always ask: If you had poop on your arm, would you clean it with water or just wipe it with a dry towel and call it a day?

Not to mention it's less irritating for ur bum

This question shows that people can have differing standards of cleanliness and it's OK. Because the answer is "would you spray your arm with water only or would you use soap?" Bidets don't use soap, so with either bidet or paper you can still feel dirty until a shower, it's just what level of dirty you're willing to accept.

Hey, fellow Spuds fan. I have a similar one but it's: "If you smeared peanut butter on the outside of a watermelon but wiped it off with dry toilet paper, wouldn't you expect it to still smell like peanut butter?

Three seashells and a poop knife was good enough for my pappy and my grandpappy and his pappy before him, and it’s damn well good enough for me & my sons.

Wouldn't recommend. I bought a Kärcher brand one some time ago, it had too much pressure. Got my butt cleaned to the bone though.

Edit: I appreciate the advice about pressure, but folks, I was joking about power washers 😆

I come for the clean bum. I stay for the surprise enema.

My bidet BLASTS my bits and I love it. I’m ALWAYS bits-clean.

[–] olafurp 5 points 1 month ago

You need to use the valve to adjust the pressure. They're also not all the same.

I like a diesel-fired Hotsy, myself.

There are pressure and temperature regulators you’re supposed to attach with them so that you can have control over both

Edit in case you’re interested, it’s called a bidet mixing valve, and you can control temp and pressure with a single accessory which you attach to your existing plumbing. The controls for the adjustments are kept outside of the wall and look like any regular shower control for temp. They sell them in any number of stylings and finishes

Extra pressure seems to have done wonders for Wim Hof.

Such a huge difference in cleanliness when using these.

Everytime I travel I wonder how the godless savages live like this

A lot of middle eastern countries have these at hotels.

Bidets fuck hard.

[–] Etterra 11 points 1 month ago

Shat as far as what now?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I highly recommend the rinseworks bidet. It is designed much better than the one from the pic. You don't have to shove your entire hand in the toilet to use it. https://rinseworks.com/

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Sorry. You are all primitive peoples if not using a toto.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

i mean if your bidet doesn’t even have wifi what are you doing with your life

I'd love to buy a bidet. I just can't afford it.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (5 children)

$20 for a bolt on unit that fits on your seat, even cheaper for a bum gun. Live your dreams

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Bum gun now for 20 years after visiting SE Asia decades ago and relealising smearing shit around your ass with paper really was just fucking weird

DIY install for about $20 and no TP.

[–] hswolf 8 points 1 month ago

a bum gun, lmao

There's tops you can buy really cheap that you can put in a bottle and have a very cheap bidet. I think for many people it's a struggle to change their mind that this is also OK and it doesn't have to cost thousands of $$$
