I’ve used both a Toto washlet and a cheap bidet toilet attachment. While I loved the Toto for all of it’s cool features, the water pressure (which is powered by an electric pump) just wasn’t there and didn’t do a great job cleaning. The cheap attachment on my home toilet is powered solely by water pressure and that thing leaves me sparkling clean!
Hmm, was it an old toto? I got one a few years ago, and it’s powerful enough that it needs an injection warning label on the side. Turn it past the third setting, and you start coughing up water, haha.
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 would it be?
Imagine if I took peanut butter and smeared it all on your arm.
Would you wipe it off with dry toilet paper and call it clean?
Just imagine if, instead of peanut butter, it was something else…
Why is it alright to just leave that between your cheeks?
Feces the consistency of peanut butter sounds like a medical condition.
Sour cream?
Cookie dough?
Constant peanut butter poos could be alarming. Poos vary
If nothing else… $$$.
People can get a well-working, basic washlet / bidet to install under their toilet seat for as little as $20 - $30 USD on Amazon. It reduces your TP usage so much that it will pay for itself within a year at most, likely faster.
I used to go through several rolls a week (I felt like I was personally killing a rainforest, but I can’t stand not being clean). After installing my first bidet a few weeks back, I now only use a little to dry, and to double-check that I didn’t miss anything. I’d estimate that it reduced my TP usage by probably 80 to 90%.
That’s going to be a not insignificant chunk of change saved over the years.
Don’t forget that also not flushing fuckloads of TP also saves your plumbing. I have a buddy who works for the municipal sewer system and he prays more people switch to bidets (and stop flushing wipes and pads). Says they clog the sewage pumps that move the slurry towards the treatment plant.
once you go bidet you never go back.
Why So Many Countries Use Bidets But the US Does Not from Weird History does a good job explaining why.
Perhaps people feel homophobic or something about having water squirted on their ass?
Idk. I love my bidet. Especially when you have those wonderful shits with the consistency of clay that sticks to everything.
A few squirts, and a quick wipe of TP, and all done!
I got one during the “TP Crisis” during 2020ish. Drastically cuts down on the amount of TP required, and does a much better job of cleaning.
I love mine when I feel like a chocolate soft serve machine.
With the power of a bidet, even the famous taco-bell shits are not an issue!
Before the bidet, the lovely wet shits would eventually cause massive irritation to the butthole… With a bidet, just a calming stream of water. No need to abuse the butthole with toilet paper.
I paid for a 250$ 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?
yes you are supposed to use your hands
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.
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
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.
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.
toilet paper to dry? wtf just use a towel…
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
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 appreciate the honesty lol
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.

Serious question: you use it instead of wiping, not in addition to? I have a hard time imagining the bidet would be more sanitary without the use of mechanical force (wiping) and/or soap. Is it really just a jet of water that is supposed to remove any residue, regardless of consistency?
The water jet is the mechanical force. But unlike wiping, it doesn’t smear the shit all over your ass hair and rub it into your skin pores. It just liquifies it so that it gets rinsed away.
I use it in addition to. My culture has shower style bidets and I have no idea how “normal” bidets are supposed to work without getting your hands in there
My toto, you don’t need to wipe at all. Heated seat, multiple nozzles, heated water, dryer built in. Powerful enough to give you a full clean, it even oscillates to get better coverage.
My grandparents got one after going to Hawaii, where they are prevalent. Then I got one during the pandemic. Then my family bought two after trying mine. Then my relatives all got at least one. It’s Japan’s gift to the world, haha. I feel bummed out whenever I have to go somewhere without it, as you can never get as clean with toilet paper.
The recent articles about all TP being treated with PFAS to make them dissolve faster in water makes me even happier to use a bidet.
that sounds disgusting that bidet is full of shit.
You wipe too. Just- much less. Bidet cleans all of the shit away, toilet paper wipes off the excess water.
sounds like I can do the same with an extended showerhead massager which is what I do at my apartment - then I don’t have to worry about using TP for it even. And my asshole is actually clean after.
That’s exactly how many bidets are designed too. Essentially, a hand-held shower-head.
Mine is built into the toilet (or, well, is permanently mounted to it). Just twice the knob, and automatic water where it needs to go.
Yeah, I feel like I get this done in the shower just fine without needing to buy extra equipment and I don’t have to worry about getting a UTI if I don’t get the aim right apparently.
Assuming you shower after every poop!
well obviously I can’t do that in a public restroom but outside of that - yeah I’ve got it covered with using a shower head.
im italian/french born and raised with bidet. the bidet is after your regular business. you still use TP because you dont want chunks of shit in your bidet. thats basically a sink, just lower. you clean your hands in it you dont drop shit in it.
Have you ever used a pressure washer before?
YMMV but personally it makes everything 1-2 wipes to ‘verify’/dry. Got one in 2020 to lessen TP usage, which it does really well. I think you’re underestimating how strong the stream is (which is variable/controllable) and overestimating how ‘stuck on’ any residue is. Works kinda like a pressure washer where you can’t move/angle the washer (on the affordable ones) so you move the thing being washed for full ‘coverage’.
Regardless, if I got muck on my hands would rather rinse them in water than just wipe them off with a paper towel.
Thanks for the explanation and I hate muck ony hands so that analogy also helps.
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)
BRRRRR skibidi bop bop bop yes yes
Personally I find them uncomfortable
Not an answer for everyone, but I won’t be making the switch any time soon
I sense that it may be due to a combination of outdated holdover ethics inherited from puritans and shit, as well as a new culture of anti-education which dolls out disdain for nerds who learn to interpret data and studies, etc. At least in the Dvided States.
Fellas, is it gay to have a clean butthole
Depends who you show it off to
I’m just worried I’m going to turn my sack into a punching bag.
I know it’s extremely unlikely. But, I’m roerty sure hot baths have already killed the workers.
From experience, I can tell you that your bag is safe lol
They are designed so that the angle of the spray comes nowhere near there. You’d have to do some sort of gymnastics moves to be able to whack the piñata with it.
Even still, even the alt blast modes are very gentle. This isn’t exactly the sorts of pressure you’d be using for cleaning lichens off sidewalks, haha.
I don’t know where I was coming from pretending I wouldn’t want to experience. Thinking about. I kinda do.
I bought one couple of weeks ago, one of the best things I’ve ever spent money on, can never go back.
It’s quite widespread in some places. When I lived in the Middle East, every bathroom had one, a separate porcelain unit beside the toilet. Apparently the electronic ones built into the toilet seat are very popular in Japan. And bidets are taking off big in the US now too. Those are just the places I happen to know. How widespread do you need them to be? ;D
We have them like that in italy and I don’t know anyone that uses it. We used it as a second toilet as kids. Pee only.
Every house should have them
