Attach a bidet to your toilet. It's worth it (programming.dev)

Not only will a bidet save you on toilet paper, but you will actually feel like you have a clean butt after pooping. Initially it feels weird, but after you get used to it, you won't want to poop without it.

BTW in case you are wondering: yes, you still need toilet paper to wipe the water off. But it is a small amount.

I'm late to this but it's also the 2nd from the top all time post here so I think it should be said. I disagree, at least with a cheap add-on bidet.

The cheap ones don't heat the water first so you're sprayed with cold uncomfortable water, then you're left with a wet, cold, soggy bottom that you then need to wipe dry, so you still ended up using some tp.

No need to wipe dry with TP. Simply twerk your ass until it dries.

I use a butt towel. Just need to remember to move it if any guests visit, lest they start drying their face on it.

I just don't get how poo doesn't spray everywhere

It sprays into the toilet

but your asshole is not in the toilet. 🤷‍♂️

I really want one, but I’m renting and the model I want needs an electrical outlet. There’s one on the other side of the wall right by my toilet, but I can’t have one put in.

Get an analog one without delay. That was my #1 concern before getting a bidet: "Wouldn't the water feel cold? Do I need a heater?" Guess what! After getting one that simply plugs into the cold water pipe I can now tell assuredly: the ass can't tell the difference. There are simply not enough nerve endings down there to sense the cold. Wish someone had told me sooner!

You can also buy a portable Bidet for like 10 bucks

How well do they work?

[-] Dreadrat@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Pretty good! The ones with the sharp bend are better than the straighter ones.

Fill it up with warm water before you poop for comfortable washing action.

No more wiping a permanent marker.

You do you, but that sounds a little extra. Unless it's for your hotel room or something.
