And also saves trees

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 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))

I did some travels in places where bidets are common, here’s my take:

• Egypt - basically a brass pipe targeted at your hole, everyone shitting oh it - no for me
• Italy - standalone, you have to jump over - impractical, takes too much space
• Japan/Korea - toilets from space, heated seat warm, water and dryer - comfy, but you need electricity, and if it fails, expensive
• Finland - a shower attached to the toilet’s water intake - just cold water, but it’s fine, that’s the easiest to install and use

I wonder whether you meant “bidet shower” or “bidet” (meant as a stand-alone additional sanitary equipment for a toilet room).

I’ll never understand how people live without a bidet.

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.

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?

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’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.

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.

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.
