sorry this is gross:

i do not understand american's aversion to the bidet. why would i want to wipe my ass with dry fucking paper rather than water? why why why. like it's somehow 'gross' to use water. but scraping at wet shit with fucking tissue paper is hygienic and normal?

Somebody once said it to me like this: "If you faceplant into a pile of shit, would you rather wipe your face with a dry paper, or use water for cleaning"

Bath tub. With soap. My SO washes his dick every time he pees and his ass every time he shits. After he wipes.

Ok that's too far. You don't need to get into the bath just because you pissed wtf.

Sorry let me just wash my ass in the public sink when I gotta take a shit and I'm not home?

I think wet wipe would be best, and it's my favorite option.

Can't safely flush them though, no matter how "flushable" they claim to be
