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.

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.

Why do you say that? Especially when you imply elsewhere that baby wipes on the toilet are handy?

Because towels and soap and whatnot would be fine in a home, but probably almost never possible in work or public toilet settings. You can at least carry baby wipes with you.

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.

But also makes more waste elsewhere. Water can be filtered and recycled, that baby wipe will go to a landfill.

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!

Sa - erm… cutting down on *tp*, that is l.

I hate Charmin-like tp and buy the cheapest, single-ply stuff i can find. 'Drying off' my whole butt with that stuff isn't going to work (I'm assuming the bidet isn't so narrow that only your butthole gets wet). I would use a lot more tp drying off. A single baby wipe is portable and completely fixes the issue of getting clean.

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?

Creepy animated Charmin Bear amounts, apparently. All while living on ice cream, salmonella and beer.

MTE!

A messy poo I generally want to wipe at least three times until I feel okay putting my underpants back on. And then I still feel icky until I shower.

A good bidet rinse cuts that down to one wipe, and I don't feel the same level of disgust even though I know I will need to properly wash later.

So for me it's not necessarily a huge savings in toilet paper, but it makes me much happier overall.

But do you have messy poos more than once in a long while? That's the part I don't get.

Bio female and I’ve only run into them in the occasional hotel, but they cut down use for me around my period with what I’m guessing is a medium-to-heavy flow. Also helpful if you’re sensitive to the toilet paper being used (or the toilet paper’s just cheap).

I'm kinda wondering, too. And...how much poo is there all over you that you need that much? This entire thread has opened whole worlds I don't wanna contemplate.

Exactly. Once in a while is one thing, but if your poops are that nasty on the regular, that's something you really need to be seeing a doctor about because something's not right there.

it's really ironic that you're showing your ignorant ass all over a thread about cleaning asses :)

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

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.

You'd have to use quite a lot of tp to dry off completely from spraying yourself with a bidet. And tp tears up and sticks to you and pills, which is gross. A single baby wipe deals with all of that without using MORE tp or needing a washcloth, soap, and towel right next to the bidet (not as much of an issue in a home, but almost impossible in a public/work toilet).

you're talking very confidently about bidet usage as someone who has admitted they don't know anything about it. bidets are not some obscure new technology people are peddling maybe just look it up instead of fantasizing about how it works?

also fun fact your flushable wipes aren't particularly flushable!
