Most adults in the west don’t even wash their hands after using the bathroom.
Why do people think it’s weird to not want a jet of water blown up your ass?
It is weird to worry about that when that’s not what happens. Bidets do not give you an enema.
I used one in Bangkok, and yes it absolutely did.
Maybe the water pressure was too high. Still don’t want want one.
It probably had a turning handle like a faucet, right? There is a right amount of pressure to open that to. I won’t say every bidet in the world is well designed or working right but that is not the intended outcome and you would not experience that if you bought a decent unit for your home.
In Finland you can find one in every toilet basically but majority of people don’t use them. It’s not something installed into the bowl itself thought but just a separate shower head next to it that’s attached to the faucet so you get warm water too.
I can’t get a bidet because my friend is fat and breaks the toilet seats on the regular. He of course replaces them. I’ve tried bidets at other places and it was nice but i still had to use toilet paper to clean my now wet ass so I’m really confused when people say they don’t need toilet paper anymore. I really hope they aren’t just wiping their ass on a towel or some shit.
It apparently used to be a thing over here when my grandparents were young. People just liked toilet paper better.
I paid for a 250$ bidet toilet seat and i don’t even use it. How is it supposed to work? My stool are soft sometimes, and even with the bidet pressure to the max, it doesn’t fully clean it. I’m left with dripping wet ass covered with shit. Then i need to use toilet paper that’s literally melting from all that water on my ass. As a result i use 3x more toilet paper and my hands gets dirty. Very unpleasant.
Am i using it wrong?
I appreciate the honesty lol
yes you are supposed to use your hands
You have to make sure you’re adjusting yourself so the stream kisses your * and definitely do the 00*0
You have to wipe first, then you use the bidet with your little hand to clean it. Hope you know that even if you wipe a lot, the poop bacteria stays there
Also, soft stool sticks more than hard stool
You don’t wipe first.
stop pooping in the bidet
It does sound like you’re using it wrong. I’ve been using a $70 bidet attachment for 8+ years and it was the best decision I’ve made for personal hygiene.
Use toilet
Use bidet, making sure to adjust your position so the stream hits your o and the area immediately around it. Whatever poo may touch while going.
Use toilet paper to dry.
If you’re spraying parts of your bum where poop doesn’t even reach then you need to adjust the spray. I’ve used so much less toilet paper this way.
Use toilet paper to dry.
the fuck is the point if you still have to use it to dry off.
You gotta get the ones with the blow dryers! My asshole is sparkling, and the toilet paper collects dust.
I actually don’t use them because of UTI risk.
which are made up
Trolling.
It’s a single wipe on clean skin. Much less paper used. No abraison. No mess. If you got shit on your arm would you be satisfied just wiping if off with paper?
No but I can do the same thing with a shower head and use soap and then a towell.
sounds like maybe bidets are for people who either have roommates or family living with them.
You seem determined to take issue with the concept of a bidet. That’s OK no one is forcing you to use one. The toilet seat attachment ones are super cheap and convenient. You don’t have to get up and go anywhere. You just turn a knob when you’re done pooping and you get cleaner than you can with paper. Feels good to be clean.
Like back to the arm poop analogy, if you for some reason were getting shit on your arm every single day, sometimes multiple times, then having to go do the shower soap towell thing becomes a hassle. Maybe it makes sense to have a special hose next to where you keep getting shit on you to make clean up easier.
That’s OK no one is forcing you to use one
Yet a lot of the comments here are like “LOL HOW COME MORE PEOPLE DONT USE THESE R THEY DUMB MY ASSHOLE IS SO FRESH”
I’ll be honest. I never get poop on any part of my body ever. Maybe like once on my hand while I was sick cause I was so sick that I missed but that’s not a common occurrence and probably hasn’t happened since I was a teenager. I’m in my late 30’s now. So that time is FAR far behind me. lmao. I don’t have a perfect memory but I would definitely remember getting poop on my fucking arm.
But maybe if I had a child or something someday - and I had poop getting on my arm cause of the kid making it a hassle to change a diaper… well I’d probably use a baby wipe. Duh.
yeah id ont get it you usually use a towel with a bidet,toilet paper is for shit. theres no shit when you are done on a bidet.
There’s no shit when I wipe either. Sounds like people just don’t know how to wipe.
Do you dry your hands after washing them?
yeah on a towell.
yeah same with the bidet
lmao I’m not using a towell if all I did was rinse the shit off my asshole.
as far as I know, bidets don’t come with soap.
They absolutely do XD
toilet paper to dry? wtf just use a towel…
You don’t need to use so much water, and move yourself around to make sure your aim is right. It’s not a jet wash for your poop chute, it just makes wiping more efficient.
Mine cost like $50 and is probably one of my favourite ever purchases.
god now it sounds like its for people who don’t know how to properly wipe…

I believe you are, yes. I once stumbled upon this thread on Reddit , it kinda explains it well ! The
*o*o*oIs pretty accurate. I’ve been using my bidet for around 2 years now and never once have I been in your situation. Now, I feel sad and dirty when I’m far from my bidet.Now, I feel sad and dirty when I’m far from my bidet.
So much this. I’ve held my bowels when I had the opportunity to go just so I could shit at home with my bidet lol.
I haven’t yet committed to a towel so I still waste toilet paper (though less), but it’s also nice knowing if I ran out I could just let my ass air dry (speaking from experience).
Exactly, it’s not that I don’t have faith in the cleaning power of my bidet, but still I prefer to check it with a 2 sheet before drying out the rest with a hand towel !
how do you not know if you are still dirty? dont you use your hands?
With the bidet, you don’t see what is going on and you have no way of telling if you did a good job without taking a paper and check it.
Absolutely not
Americans voted for him though
I don’t know but the greatest thing for me from the pandemic was adopting the use of them. I cannot understand why people wouldn’t want to use them (apart from some misplaced unease with something twiddling d. butthole)
puritanism.
no other reason.
My nephews thinks it’s weird/gay.
They’re good boys, they’re also idiots though.
Tell them women don’t want to smell their dirty ass either.
Why So Many Countries Use Bidets But the US Does Not from Weird History does a good job explaining why.
TLDR?
Bad connotations
- Prostitutes
- Thought it was a contraceptive
- Luxury - you’re a snob
- Thought you were promiscuous
Helps menstruation - omg, ew!
Used to be a wash basin in the bedroom
With my bathroom, the answer is simple. I would have to nail the bidet to the wall because of the lack of floor space, which would make it’s use rather awkward.
No one understands what a bidet really is.
In the old days, they were a separate free-standing device. Not a lot of people have space or money to add one of these types of bidets to their bathrooms
Now they make them as toilet seat attachments that don’t require extra space and really aren’t that expensive.
But people don’t know. Older people will be like, “Oh a bidet? No I don’t want another toilet like device in my bathroom”
So that gets rid of all those people.
Next you have the people that know about the new style bidets that’s just a fancy toilet seat.
Their biggest deterrent is probably cold water. Spraying cold water on their butt doesn’t appeal to most people.
You can get bidets that heat the water, but you have to have power behind your toilet, which not everyone has.
Then you have older people that just can’t work them or don’t feel like they can. Like my grandfather, I installed one with all the bells and whistles for him. Yet hitting a button and doing all that was too complicated. He was 90+ and could barely use a cell phone for basic functions. But he’d rather wipe his butt like he knew than mess with the “complicated” bidet.
Eventually everyone is going to own a bidet, it really is the way to go.
We just aren’t there yet.
Cold water, yeah in winter in Canada your cold water is something like 1°C (33°F), not a pleasant thing
Water doesn’t have to be 0°C (32°F) to freeze.
Depending on your elevation, it can change.
If the water in your pipes is even close to 1°C you have a serious problem.
You can also hook a bidet to your hot water line
The first bit of water will be wall temperature water and it will take a bit to fully warm up because you have to clear out the lines (some bidets will drain the first bit of water before squirting you)
If the water in your pipes is that cold, you’re likely looking at a burst pipe issue anyway
Well you flush and that takes out the water in your pipes. Then you get cold ass water from the pipe outside in the ground.
I have a seat one that only does cold water and it hits different in the summer honestly. Sometimes you just need a splash of cold water in your asshole to keep going.
Comes in handy for spicy food night.
For me it’s because I have had to suffer from UTI’s before and I don’t want to risk some stream of water blowing bacteria into my vagina and then I gotta pee every five seconds and wait for a damn doctor visit because for some fucking reason UTI meds aren’t over the counter where I live.
I can buy the UTI “pain reliever” over the counter but it just temporarily fixes the pain, and the UTI of course continues. Pretty fucking pointless.
Weird, in my current country bidet is in widespread usage and I haven’t known anyone getting a UTI from bidet usage.
I’m more susceptible to UTI’s than other women (or people with vaginas)
You could just find one with low pressure. You don’t need a high power jet.
Simply soaking your crack with water and wiping is a big help.
I’ve never heard of your problem, though, so it’s an interesting point. I know some bidets even have intended settings to wash your front as a woman.
Yeah its just easier for me to get UTI’s so I have to be extra careful. I had a summer where I had 3 UTI’s back to back and it was a nightmare.
Most women get them from sex and there’s a lot of misinformation out there about women’s health.
Well, for starters, you don’t pee from your vagina. You could get a yeast infection, yes, but that’s a different issue.
That said, if your bidet is angled so it’s hitting your vagina or, especially, your urethra, it’s likely not installed correctly or you’re sitting way far back on your toilet.*
- There are bidets you can get with the option to angle for washing period blood away, but they tell you in the instructions to wash your butt first so that you don’t get bacteria into your vagina, and you also don’t need to use that function either. I never found it super useful myself, so I’d recommend the cheaper version without that function these days.
Well, for starters, you don’t pee from your vagina.
why are you explaining that to me, a woman with a vagina.
I’m aware of that.
stream of water blowing bacteria into my vagina
Because that doesn’t cause issues with your urinary tract.
- A man with a longer urinary tract
holy fucking shit do you know anything about PH balance of the vagina.
Well he probably knows that vaginas can’t get UTIs
Having used both types, including a water warming seat installed one, I can’t say enough good things about the free standing ones. The toilet seat ones though seem like a waste of time, even if they warm the water.
The utopian city of Atlantis sunk due to bidet overuse.
They might have sunk the city, but their butts were sparkling clean
Because the tradition of wiping until it’s red is deeply rooted in american toilet culture.
It’s refered to as “better red than dead”
