not the point of the secret, but...

bidets *are* more hygenic, though.

I can't imagine using a bidet. Especially during that time. No way would it get all the blood off.

well nobody said you couldn't *also* use toilet paper afterwards.

possible TMI re: periods

(Anonymous) 2021-10-05 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Assuming we're talking periods, the best combination for me is bidet + menstrual cup. It's a pretty good position for inserting and removing the cup, without the danger of accidentally dropping it in the toilet. You can wash the cup in the bidet at the same time as you wash yourself, then put the cup back in, and wash off any extra blood.

The bidet definitely gets all the blood off pretty easily. But it might be a little messier if you use pads.

... ??? how much are you bleeding???

Not the person you're replying to, but on the first few days my toilet looks like the elevator scene in Carrie.

SA. Sorry...The Shining elevator scene!

Or the prom scene in Carrie.

... how would it not? Does your blood not rinse off with water?

Bidets confuse me. Because just spraying water around on your body (especially your arse) isn't going to get it *clean*. You need soap. And you need a washcloth or *something* to move the soap around, and then you rinse, and then you need to *dry off*. So do bidets also come with a rack of washcloths and towels? Or do you drip-dry? Or....what?

It all just seems like a lot to fool with every time you use the toilet.

Re: not the point of the secret, but...

(Anonymous) 2021-10-05 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
The attachment ones basically just spray water on your behind and reduce the need for too much toilet paper.

The built-in bidets that are stand-alone are more like an undercarriage sink.

Hrmmm. Still doesn't seem all that...handy.

Re: not the point of the secret, but...

(Anonymous) 2021-10-05 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Why do you say that? Especially when you imply elsewhere that baby wipes on the toilet are handy?

The point is to help the process along and make it so you don't need to use so much toilet paper.

I get the point, I just don't see why it's so !! for people when you have to have all this extra stuff (some kind of washcloth, a towel, soap).

A baby wipe (that no, you don't flush), does the job just as well without all the fuss and *also* cuts down on tp use.

Re: not the point of the secret, but...

(Anonymous) 2021-10-05 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
But also makes more waste elsewhere. Water can be filtered and recycled, that baby wipe will go to a landfill.

(Anonymous) 2021-10-05 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
Da - you don’t need all the extra stuff, it’s just water & then tp. I’ve found them useful in cutting down on you and very little fuss to use, but I also don’t think to carry baby wipes!

Personally I would feel super guilty if I went through several baby wipes per day. I would maybe be okay with one per day for cleaning my ass, but tbh, as someone with a non-hairy ass I just don't feel like I need it.

I do like to use one after working out, if I don't have time to immediately jump in the shower, though. And if I were having sex on the regular I might like them for before the act. So I don't have anything against baby wipes, I just can't see using them more than once per day--and preferably less than that.

Okay, I'm genuinely baffled. Like, how much toilet paper do you guys normally use where you could cut the amount down by any significant amount?

Re: not the point of the secret, but...

(Anonymous) 2021-10-05 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Creepy animated Charmin Bear amounts, apparently. All while living on ice cream, salmonella and beer.

are you putting soap on your tp like what's the logic here that you think it's more hygienic to wipe with a dry piece of paper

Re: not the point of the secret, but...

(Anonymous) 2021-10-05 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Ikr It’s not like anyone is saying a bidet is supposed to take the place of actually bathing. It’s just supposed to cut down on tp use when you’re on the toilet. So why the concern about whether bidets might be less hygienic than just tp(which they absolutely aren’t less hygienic wtf)??

Why are people asking if you’re supposed to drip-dry, for that matter? You still use tp to dry off, you just don’t use as much to clean in general? All these people could Google this instead of asking all these weird questions or making weird assumptions.

They are, but as someone who was fortunate enough to use a full separate appliance bidet while in Europe, i have reservations about using a built in. When people use my bathroom, they USE my bathroom. Whatever is coming out will undoubtedly get particles wherever.

I mean at this point,in my non bidet country, i just use what I've always used which is a cup (and soap and water) to clean myself with.

thank you for the only reasonable reply in this thread

There’s plenty of other reasonable responses, don’t be disingenuous just because you don’t like what they had to say.
