A bidet. You can install it yourself in 20 minutes and enjoy a lifetime of cleaner buttholes and save on tp.
Sitting on one right now, clean cornholio!
I'll never 'go' without one!
Seriously though, bidets rock. Try one, get a good one, and you'll never go back.
Every time Iβve tried to use a bidet, Iβve hated it. The water feels uncomfortable and sudden, and then I feel like I either canβt get dry with toilet paper and get chapped later, or it breaks up from the water and leaves pieces everywhere. The air dry varieties seem to contribute to chapped butt too. I know some people use wash cloths, but frankly the idea of leaving butthole cloth out in the bathroom weirds me out also.
What is the secret to enjoying these things? Am I just too damn American for them?
When I use a bidet at home, I always do a few wipes first to avoid the breakup. Then I pat down with tp after to dry.
I get that some people want to save tp, but I just want to feel clean after I drop a bomb.
The key is to use a hose and not a fixed one. The fixed ones don't really allow you to clean where you'd like whereas the hose ones let you aim wherever. At least that's how it's been in my experience.
You have to do the bidet dance with a fixed one, works just as well.
But then what is the drying strategy? That is my biggest problem.
Dab, don't wipe
Smoked a dab, butt still wet, instructions unclear.
Spring for one with a warm water reservoir... your anus will thank you.
You can just use a shower and save some money and time.
Don't you get shit water all over your taint and cheeks?
I can see why you would think that happens, but it either doesn't happen, or it does and the shit water gets washed away by the continuous spray of clean water just like taking a shower.
How cold is the water when it hits you?
Depends on the water that ur toilet gets. They usually hook up to the toilet reservoir intake (I don't know the actual word for this, it's just the backrest part). All the bidets I've used have been fine, I haven't had any thatre like too hot or too cold then again, unlike Goldilocks, I'm not too picky ab temperature.
