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

      I’ll never ‘go’ without one!

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

        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?

          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.

            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.

          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.

          Uhm, clean up your butthole using water and some butthole-compatible soap, rinse and then dry with a towel.

          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.

      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.

        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.

        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?

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

        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.
