Why YSK: It’s cleaner, cheaper and more convenient than toilet paper
Scored myself a bidet during that TP shortage at the beginning of COVID lockdown and it’s been a game changer. Get one because your butt will especially thank you after a spicy Thai or Indian night. Spicy poo and mud butt? What are those?
I still use TP, but it’s now for drying off.
And also saves trees
I got a Tushy classic bidet a year ago. It is amazing! For anyone out there that uses more toilet paper than you think you should, gets a raw bum from wiping, or wants to get three times cleaner, a bidet is for you. I’m a dude, but also my wife loves it. Honestly, one of the best purchases per dollar I have ever made and one that reminds me daily.
If you got poop on your hands, what do you think will get you cleaner? Couple of wipes with toilet paper or rinsing in the sink with water.
I’ve thought of getting at least a portable Bidet for a while (I rent, so can’t really install a proper bidet). How easy are they to install?
Alternatively, installing a faucet near the toilet and placing bucket and dipper (locally it’s tabo) is great. Common in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabo_(hygiene))
Please God, I beg you all to do this. I mean no disrespect to y’all at all.
I have been using a bidet/health faucet/Jet spray all my life. I was so shocked and disgusted when I found out people in the west used toilet paper 🤢🤢
I’ve used toilet paper a few times in emergencies and I’ve regretted it everytime. The difference between water and paper in cleaning your butt is so vast.
I wonder whether you meant “bidet shower” or “bidet” (meant as a stand-alone additional sanitary equipment for a toilet room).

You can get seat spacers on Amazon.
Imagine you get your hands covered in sticky filth. Do you wash them at a sink or just wipe them off with some paper and call it good?
Why do any different for your ass?
Wash them with soap and water and scrub them then dry them with a towel.
Because your ass does literally nothing else all day, but your hands touch things like food etc. I’d say it was more like getting shit on your leg. Do you wipe it off or just wait until you next have a shower?
That said I love the idea of bidets, I’m just terrified it’ll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant.
" I’m just terrified it’ll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant." I’ve never had this issue.
You should also know that if you do this, when you go on vacation you are going to have one seriously sore butthole until you get home again.
I mean at least in Europe when you use a bidet you use soap and then still dry a few times with tp. These contraptions are good to soften the ass crud but you’ll still need to wipe it off with tp.
I keep seeing bidets recommended. Ive thought about getting one, but I’m not sure.
Are there any vagina owners here that can testify to them? I’m worried it will just spray poop up into my bits.
My girlfriend loves the bidet. You will not spray poop up into your bits but I get your concern. We also have a dial, on ours, to change the angle to vagina-mode. Great for periods, allegedly, but it blasts me in the balls if I don’t notice.
Does anyone know what options exist for those who rent? I just have a travel attachment but it’s more annoying to fill it up every time.

After going to Japan, I ordered a genuine Toto washlet (warm water, heated, drying, all sort of goodies) and gave it to my wife for Christmas.
It’s her favourite Christmas gift ever, even after almost a decade. The only gift that still gets daily use :). We had a problem with it a few years back and sent to the North American service centre. Flat rate for a complete refurbish. Awesome!
hold up ! Do they all have drying on them?
I think all of the Toto washlets do?
My favorite pro-bidet argument from chainsawsuit.com
…you dont wash your hands?
… you don’t wash your butt?
Your point is also the point of the comic: saying that you’ve rubbed dry paper on your butthole and that makes it “clean” is analagous to getting poop on your hands and doing the same.
You wash your hands; you should also wash your butt: so get a bidet.
As someone from outside the West, the idea of just wiping with a tissue paper, and not using a bidet or its equivalent grosses me out tbh.
