I bought bidets for the house during the COVID toilet paper lunacy and it’s likely the best personal hygiene investment I’ve ever made. I still get upset when I have to poop somewhere that doesn’t have a bidet.
I installed mine during COVID lockdowns - wife got one as a gift for baby shower and we never used it but 2 years later I broke it out during the dark times for toilet paper and it saved our ass, literally. Definitely the best improvement ever, yet some people do feel weird about them, like middle schooler homophobia or some shit
Same.
Yeah people are weird about bidets. They’re obviously a great invention
‘stream of water’ is wrong characterization, it’s about a power-washing jet – blast off those poo particles
There are some people…
Or just dont shit simple.
I like the extremely narrow opinion held by whoever took the original screenshot, judging from their use of the agree/disagree buttons. They believe that some form of washing is necessary, but only the exact amount of a bidet— using soap is too much. A very specific middle ground.
All I’m seeing is someone who upvotes what they agree with and downvotes what they disagree with lol
Doesn’t everyone do that?
The original purpose was to upvote comments that added to the conversation and down vote those that didn’t.
Intent vs. actual use can vary wildly.
The guillotine was invented as a convenient way to slice your melons, but it was unfortunately misused.
Unfortunately? Sounds like you’re a French bourgeoisie who needs an appointment with a guillotine!
I don’t lol it’s a terrible way to operate. It’s common unfortunately but it’s not supposed to be how it works.
Or you know, wash with water AND soap. I wash with a bidet and use liquid soap along with it. That’s no different than washing in the shower.
Do you literally never use the restroom in public spaces or something? Or is this just a special treat when you’re at home?
That’s for at home. But to answer your other question, I do carry a small 50ml squeeze bottle of liquid soap in my bag, like those keychain hand sanitizers. Obviously it’s not always useful if the public toilet doesn’t have a bidet in the first place, so I also have wet wipes in my bag for a cleaner feeling at least until I can get home and wash properly.
And to answer your one other question, yes portable bidets exist. I have one and bring it with me when I travel so I can still wash if my hotel doesn’t have one.
You do know portable bidets exist, right?
I can barely find my fucking keys most days 💀
I can’t tell if this is a joke or not lol
Either way, people carry around bidets and soap everywhere they go? Not judging just super surprised.
No to the soap, but the little battery powered bidet I have is awesome. Comes in really handy… everywhere that isn’t home.
I just dump a liter of bleach in the upper deck and remove the seat. Nothing cleans you up better than a good swirl.
Lemmy needs a “Vote for best of” feature.
I got one after a surgery because I couldn’t touch my butthole without screaming. And I still thought they were weird. Now I can’t stand it if one isn’t available. Fwiw, if you are a relatively clean pooper the toilet paper is mainly for drying off.
I have a high pressure water system at the ready. Remember: if it isn’t peeling skin off flesh, it’s not effective enough.
I like to back flush my sinuses to help with my allergies
I don’t think I’m going to smell anyone’s asshole in a nearby future and I pray you don’t either, friend.
Wipe until clean, spray your anus with water, just get the job done and shower often.
If only most wet wipes weren’t non-flushable (even if they say they are, many are in fact not) and terrible for the environment. Still have to find a good brand.
My old flatmate would shower after every. single. shit. Which was fine in the afternoon/evening. But we got up for work at the same time, and he’d take 20mins in the shower plus 10-15 pooping. Which meant I’d have to be up an hour earlier than I needed to be to be able to poop in the morning…
@dessalines lemmy.ml down?
It is still down
@heyfrancis @kungkungblabak @dessalines It’s still down, unfortunately.
Back up now.
