    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

    All I’m seeing is someone who upvotes what they agree with and downvotes what they disagree with lol

        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.

          Intent vs. actual use can vary wildly.

          The guillotine was invented as a convenient way to slice your melons, but it was unfortunately misused.

    ‘stream of water’ is wrong characterization, it’s about a power-washing jet – blast off those poo particles

    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.

          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 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.

    I just dump a liter of bleach in the upper deck and remove the seat. Nothing cleans you up better than a good swirl.

        Considering I have no idea what you’re talking about I’ll say it was.

        There is a bug with the GrapheneOS keyboard being strangely buggy when backspacing (it gets confused about where the word starts so if you delete the last letter of a word it will instead delete the space just before the word which is annoying as hell) however that bug is definitely not exclusive to Jerboa and only happens with that keyboard so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          Yep, that’s the bug I’m talking about. I had it and I’m not using GrapheneOS so for me the app was ‘read only’ and I stopped using it. And it was exclusive to Jerboa for me, all the other apps work fine.

    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 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.
