    I’ve used a bidet for a decade and the only reason I have to wipe is to dry off

      Only if you have a solid one. If your poo is sticky it leaves a smear and even high pressure water won’t shift, and that’s when you need a wipe.

          I have. A bunch of times. They are in most of the hotel rooms I stay in.

              it’s water. what do you think is “using it well”? the only way to properly sanitize an asshole is drench it in water and use a little soap. Change your diet several days beforehand if you want to have fun down there.

                Unironically, positioning, pressure, and time. It took me a while to be fine with the pressure needed to actually clean anything, let alone letting it stay on long enough to thoroughly clean. Plus you gotta angle yourself so everything gets clean.

                Saying “it’s water” proves you don’t know enough, which explains why you’ve had a bad experience. No shame in that, like I said it took me a while. Stick with it, it’s worth it.

                  nope no bad experiences over here. i’m familiar with the whole water versus butt situation. i think a bidet is fine but i don’t want to walk out of the restroom with a wet butt, unless it’s Wet Day. so regardless of bidet or no, i would prefer some sort of towel or soft paper.

                    That’s why you dry after lol. And again, you simplifying it so much is telling on yourself. That’s no problem but know that if you stick with it you may end up having a better experience.

            I use one and have IBS with issues as you describe. The bidet is miles better, and previous to that I had to use wet wipes because TP wasn’t even as effective as that. You’re using it incorrectly if you think it’s less effective than paper.

              I don’t think it is less effective. I tthink it is more efficient but isn’t perfect.

                  Congratulations. Tell you what, I’ll send you pictures next time I use a bidet.

                    I will say, the first bidet was cheap and bad. It didn’t clean effectively and didn’t have water pressure options, which I think are required for a good experience.
