I got onboard the bidet train during the Covid lockdown. Simple to add on at my apartment. It was my #1 request when I moved to my GF's house. We replaced the whole toilet with the upgrades.

"Hey, if some caked-up mud pie got on your face, would you just wipe it off with a dry piece of tissue and call it a day? No! You'd wash it. So why is your butthole any different?" - Detective Allen Gamble, 'The Other Guys'
My butthole is very different from my face and I hope that is true for everyone else as well
Different enough that you don't mind having shit smeared all around it?
Different enough that I'm fine with thoroughly wiping my ass. That's hardly "having shit smeared all around". I'm regularly under the shower and that's good enough for me.
I like the bidet's we have at home, but I don't get the ones that are separate from the toilet. Saw this type when visiting San Juan, PR once. Their plumbing system can't handle toilet paper very well, so it's all bidets with a stack of washed towels.
Not only do they take up extra space in the bathroom, but are you supposed to waddle over to this thing with a dingleberry hanging out? I don't get why you'd want that.
The one argument I've heard in their favor is from people with vaginas who don't like the idea of the built-in sprayer catching bits of poop that'll get in their cootch.
So, maybe I'm missing something here, but bidets don't seem all that great? Everyone on the internet is always proclaiming life changing experiences with these things. However, when I recently used them they don't seem to do very much. My butthole is still poopy and when I wipe to dry my ass the toilet paper tears.
Operator error.
Some are better than others in both power and nozzle angle/placement. Sometimes you have to shimmy to get the angle just right if the power is low. It should result in a wipe in which no fecal matter remains, only wetness, if executed properly.
Exactly. There's a learning curve but once you've got it, you dread wipe only bathrooms. Installed a bidet on one of my toilets six months ago and now that's the only toilet anybody in the house poops in unless it's already occupied.
You need to use the power washer setting. Takes the paint right off the wall.....
Low water pressure maybe? Mines a real cheap one and I've never had issues with not being clean after. I do usually get stronger toilet paper, but I only use a roll or two a month. I wouldn't say it's life changing, but I do prefer it. Also has saved me a lot on tp
Yes and also mine takes 30+ seconds to properly clean so make sure you take your time.
I read Biden 😢
Skibidi Biden
Reading this on a toilet without a bidet :(
Please send your prayers
Thought and prayers 🙏
Had my first experience of a bidet in Japan but not just that, the toilet seat was heated too, that was my first dump after landing
That's what I love about mine. Automatic lid raise and lower as you walk in, heated ring and water, (both adjustable temp), air dry, (again heated), and charcoal filtered air filtration to minimize the stench from that drive through burrito.
It's the posh life. Very nearly the equal to having your own chamberlain.
Humm, I see you enjoy Toto. The king of home Bidets!
I got something like this for like 15 euros from a German shop but I'm sure you'll find it everywhere. I payed a little extra for stainless-steel instead of plastic. It's still incredibly cheap and my family uses it daily for years. I don't need any more luxury.
If it's tapped directly into the ice cold water line that sounds terrible. Gotta save up and spring for ceramic instant water heating.
This is the kind I have, and I will never not have one again.
I think this is better than whats mounted into the toilet, because well sooner or later you get one of those days when shit flies everywhere and then enjoy cleaning the nozzle, meanwhile these things are usually just attached to the side of the toilet pr to the wall and no danger of it getting shit on barring extreme circumstances
Even the cheap ones have a self clean setting. It just sprays water down the nozzle, and is between on and off. Turn it to that for a second and then off. Never had an issue. When I clean the toilet I use the same brush to glance over it, but really it stays clean on its own

If I got shit on my arm I would wash it with soap, there's no soap in a bidet so I don't get this argument
Water > dry paper.
I don't know about you but I don't wipe my anus on my face or use it to pick up food. No judgement though.
Me either, but I would still prefer it to be clean.
