sorry this is gross:

i do not understand american's aversion to the bidet. why would i want to wipe my ass with dry fucking paper rather than water? why why why. like it's somehow 'gross' to use water. but scraping at wet shit with fucking tissue paper is hygienic and normal?

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 59 points 10 months ago (17 children)

American with bidet for 2.5 yrs. I hate shitting anywhere else now. Need a shower to get a new ass. Day is ruined.

pro tip: get a mobile one. Its basically just a plastic bottle with a nozzle screwed on. Some even come with little travel bags.

Yeah, I have one of these for backpacking. Works great.

Same.

My ass is squeaky clean at home.

Somebody once said it to me like this: "If you faceplant into a pile of shit, would you rather wipe your face with a dry paper, or use water for cleaning"

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I think you're shitting wrong...

[–] Ataraxia@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Bath tub. With soap. My SO washes his dick every time he pees and his ass every time he shits. After he wipes.

[–] ARk@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

People don't wash their ASS after they SHIT??

[–] winkerjadams@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

Sorry let me just wash my ass in the public sink when I gotta take a shit and I'm not home?

This is also gross. There's a lot of men in the US that thinks touching there ass is gay so they never clean them.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I have heard this so many times, but I absolutely refuse to believe that it is real.

Surely that's an urban legend, like truck nutz and decent beer.

It is serious, and don't call me Shirley.

I live in Japan. My wife and I recently went to visit my family in the US and I hated every minute of the toilet situation.

I own a BioBidet 2000. My friend Brian has one at his house and he convinced me to just try it. I did. And then I ordered one for myself before I left the bathroom.

I don't understand this either, toilets already require running water and have plenty of room to integrate bidet function. It's not fancy tech or anything... in North America that's sort of how they're marketed though, with an emphasis on the settings, like its something you have to learn to use.

[–] badbrainstorm@lemmy.today 4 points 10 months ago

Fear of the Koch bros?!

[–] egitalian@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Completely agree. I was raised with bidets/ water cleaning. TP That's just a dry off or catch those last few drops
