If you are in a country that uses bidets instead of toilet paper, please explain them to me.

Two weeks ago I traveled and used a bidet for the first time. All it does is spray water through your butte crack, so that it runs down your balls. Poop water all over your balls. It spreads the poop particles around the way a child might spread broccoli around his plate instead of eating it.

So my question is, in your culture, is it better to have mildly clean rear end/balls with poop water all over them, rather than fully cleaning your rear end with toilet paper? Is it the illusion of having a clean rear end that's so appealing, instead of actually cleaning it? Is there an ecological argument; i.e. it's faster or less wasteful?

Thanks in advance.

My wife wanted a bidet but I don't have that kind of money so I rigged up a DIY solution that's economical and practical.

i think you use both things and it just makes you use less TP. I've used a bidet plenty of times but wouldn't dare use it solo because in order for it to actually get you totally clean you'd need a pretty intense stream

wouldn't you need to use the bidet first then? the toilet paper would get soggy and break apart on your wet crack

toilet technology could use more innovations. I'm not into bidets but will push for newer ways to clean my butt.

I didn't really have that issue, although I preferred to just wipe pretty normally and then use the bidet after. It had a dryer and stuff which wasn't all that effective but it didn't need to be because really it doesn't get you as wet as you think it would.

First you spray the chunky bits off then once it's mostly clean you use your hands like you would in the shower. Bidet with a soap dispenser makes you way more clean than just paper does after a big wet poo poo.

The ladyfolk like them a lot for when they have their period for obvious reasons.

Maybe I'll get one like we had in Italy once I buy a place to intimidate friends and relatives.

Hope this helps.

youre supposed to first remove the big poo stains with TP

afterwards the final cleaning is then done with water so you get a better cleaning that the TP cannot do

you use less TP and at the end youre more squeaky clean because of water

toilet paper getting soggy and breaking apart will only happen if you wipe aggressively with some lovely flaky off-brand 1-ply garbage

I hope this has been enlightening for you Americans

I know this guy who is nuts about bidets, and we live in the US, where bidets aren't too common. He has one of those plastic bidets that you attach to your toilet seat. Also, if he hangs out with you frequently, he'll give you $100 bucks to subsidize you buying a bidet to put in your bathroom so that when he shits at your house he can squirt hit butthole clean.

When I asked him why he's such an insane person about this he said "If you got poo poo on you anywhere on your body aside from your butt, would you just wipe it off with paper and leave it at that?"

Which is a pretty good point but jesus christ man you're still out of your goddamn mind.

There is no paper at all in many places with bidets.

Yeah there are usually both in places like Japan but if you go to places with horrible sewage systems that cant handle paper you'll probably encounter bidet with no TP.

Do you get high pressure bidets, I like to aim the shower at my butthole and if I could be afforded the experience more frequently maybe I'd switch to the freaky continental rear end cleaning regime, no poop shelf's though.

Once I stayed in this swanky suite in Vegas that had a bidet but I was way to intimidated to use it cause it just looked like a toilet without a seat so wtf???

I ended up giving it a shot when I was drunk but it just sprayed a huge fountain of water everywhere and made a big mess so I stuck with using regular old toilet paper like God intended for man

Both tp and bidets are for weak fools. I rub my butt the whole length of a conquered enemy, face first.

Just kidding, OSHA put a stop to that. loving interns.

Using both can be nice and in fact sometimes I'll go back to TP for those really messy spackle shits. If you are worried about getting poo poo on your balls then pull them out of the way.

if you drink a lot on your cuban vacation and your ex gf happens to say it is normal to not poop for many days on vacation and then one night she decides to go but instead of flushing twice she happens to leave spinach green floaters left behind on accident you thank god that the toilet was a bidet and that she rinsed that vileness off her pristine and perfect form as you view the disgustingness go down the drain and prepare to go to therapy for your unflushed properly toilet induced ptsd

this is a secret you take to your grave till you post it on a forum she also happens to read

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.

When I was in Africa for two years used a tea pot with water. Ni tp.

Cleanest my bunghole and crack have ever been

I think it comes down to turd consistency. Firm turds and water works great. Sloppy greasy turd that smears your butt cheeks and thighs and calves coming out. Tp is a wall of protection. Like haz mat suit for your hand
