And I’m a “mitten of toilet paper” type of guy.

    I use a bidet, then two sets of two squares. First one to get most of the water, the second to clean the crevice. Then, I keep a bunch of white cotton 9"x9" towels folded on top of the reservoir, and use one of those to do a final thorough clean + dry. Toss it in a slim laundry bin I keep in the bathroom just for this purpose. Works great. I honestly think I’ve stumbled upon the best method for washing ones rear.

      A bidet is like a great mattress: when you finally get one, you wonder wtf took you so long.
      But unlike a great mattress, a bidet is simple and less than 50 bucks (Canadian even!)

          Friend started dating a guy. Guy would spend a bunch of time over at friends house. Lo and behold, one day we visit and there’s a new bidet that BF ‘bought for friend’.

          We all know BF bought for himself.

        Why not just get one? I did and my wife is hesitant so she doesn’t use it but me having and using it doesn’t affect her at all. I think it was only $30 or $40 on Amazon.

        Edit: saw your reply about sharing the bathroom with young kids and yes that could easily be an issue.

        My favorite glib argument in favor of bidets is “When you get poop on you, do you wipe it off or wash?”

        Honestly though they’re cheap, easy to install, feel great (clean), and save money. And if she doesn’t want to use it she doesn’t have to.

        Plus you get the joy of hearing the yelp from unexpected cold water on the anuses of your guests when they try it for the first time.

        Luxe bidet is the brand I use, nothing fancy to the model I use at all. (Clearly as it’s not even warm water.)

          I probably should have mentioned we share a bathroom with two kids (small house). So her main concern is that children would play with it. (7 and 2)

            Oh.

            Yes.

            Kids would turn it on and a jet of water would hit the ceiling. Look into other models, hehehehe.

        Just get one, put it on and use it yourself, you can get one that spins on the supply line and hangs off the side of the tank for like $40. Once you’ve started washing your asshole instead of suffering with TP and a constantly dirty chocolate starfish, you’ll never go back. She might use it and realize the same.

      Can you get a picture of a sleeping puppy on your bidet?

    Yep, it’s great, isn’t it? The koala brand is even better, imho.

    You just have to deprogram people who mitten up.
