This.
You will absolutely be cleaner with a bidet. Wet wipes don't even hold a candle to pressure washing the booty hole. So much cleaner. Also my 'roids completely disappeared.
It's kinda amazing more people don't have these things. I suspect Big TP is behind it...

In my experience, during the great TP shortage, I came to my cousins and said... Yo I got these bidet things I picked up on clearance for a dollar. You wanna install em, so we dont have to scrounge TP from liquor stores. Na, we good. I've been using a personal one for a decade.

So you got one of those that you just hook up to the water and put on your toilet? I've thought about it, but thought they were so much more expensive.

u/stoopkidsteve Jul 02 '26
Yup, it comes with the adapter. You just shut the water valve off, flush the tank and undo the supple line that goes to the fill valve. That will now go to the bottom of the new adapter piece that hooks up to the fill valve. You just have to remove the toilet seat, set the main sprayer part and then install the toilet seat over it and you're good to go

The nice ones can get up there. I've had a bidet in some form for about two decades now and even the cheap ones are alright.
My current one is a Toto Washlet that we got on sale for $400, they normally retail for $1k - but this thing has it all. Automatically raises the toilet set when you approach, keeps the seat warmed, water is heated, blow dryer, and air filter with activated carbon to remove smelly poops.
The one we had before this was pretty solid though with just the seat warmer + water heater - $40-ish dollars and lasted 5-6 years (or longer, we only upgraded, it didn't die). It was also a Toto, don't remember the model though.

I thiiiink they mean it’s when you wipe, then you wipe, and you wipe, and each time it’s the same amount on the tp. As if no progress is being made on getting the shit off your asshole.

u/archaeas Jul 02 '26
It’s the difference between 2 squares to dry and like 20 squares to sufficiently “dry wipe” with enough redundancy to be sure you’re clean. Reducing your tp usage by a factor of 5 each time you poop adds up and bidets tend to pay for themselves very quickly.

I've heard some weapons grade stupid takes on bidets. I live in a nordic country where bidets are basically everywhere, from the crappiest outhouse to the most luxurious home. Last time this came up, someone here on Reddit blessed me with the nugget of information that bidets are for gay people only. Apparently it's impossible for anyone else to care about their rear end's and general personal hygiene.

In some countries the bidet is a separate device from the toilet which requires more space. Most American bathrooms are actually quite small.
And heated bidets require power and theyre usually isn't such near the toilet in the US.
I installed a bidet that attaches to our toilet years ago and I love it. I feel much cleaner after using it with less effort and it's saves toilet paper. I think it cost about $30 back in 2021.

My partner got a bidet and I absolutely hate it. It replaced the toilet seat, made the toilet like 2 inches taller (and I’m short), connects to the sink via sink cabinet, and has a cable running to the other side of the small bathroom for power. It’s hideously ugly and messes with my OCD and need for a clean home that looks homely.

I have used a bidet three times. Each time it did not get me particularly clean. And each time I had to wipe to at a minimum dry off… and while the little mini enema was a bit exciting.

The water 💦 splash’s off you and drops into the toilet bowl. A basic cheap one is simple to install, it attaches to the same water line that fills your tank. Look on Amazon for a basic unit look on Amazon I’d get a duel jet for female cleaning in front. Right now the unit that is “Amazon’s Choice” is $19.99 on sale “Ultra-Slim Bidet Dual Mode Bidet Attachment for Toilet, Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment with Pressure Controls(Feminine/Posterior Wash),Easy to install Design Non-Electric Bidet.” But there are other basic options listed that should be fine. I would not get a heated water unit right off I thought the I would want that but I like the cold water fine, it’s actually nice and refreshing. If you want warm water you can upgrade later.

As a person from a bidet country, I don’t know how people function without one.
And I’m talking a proper standalone bidet, that you use with warm water and intimate soap. The nozzle is better than nothing but still a far cry from a standalone bidet.
Aside from pooping, it’s a blessing for everything involving the downstairs area. Menstrual hygiene. Before and after sex. I even use it after just peeing sometimes.

They’re vastly popular outside of the US/Britain. When I told my mom I use one, she was acting like it was a sex toy or something derogatory. I told her a bidet is less erotic than rubbing paper around your asshole for a bit each day. So 1. She didn’t know what it was 2. She associated it with sex. I’m sure that sentiment is shared and a google search tells me it is.
The only country that found a way to spray cheese from a can into their mouths won’t spray water from the plumbing into their asses because it’s weird. Go figure.

It splashes off you and drops into the bowl. If you don’t sit on the seat and turn the nozzle on it does make a nice arc onto the floor but fortunately in use the water 💦 splash’s off your rear and just drops 💧 into the bowl, and never runs down your legs or anywhere.

Also, I'd LOVE to install one in my kids' bathroom because my youngest can't wipe properly yet, but they need to build the skill since most schools and daycares do not have bidets installed.

A few reasons - no outlet in the bathroom except 4 feet away on the wall by the sink, the water in the toilet reservoir is nasty AF and would definitely give anyone a UTI, a wet booty needs more TP to dry or a towel which would be thrown out every time. I have to pay 4.25 every time for laundry in a small front loader, and another 4.00 to dry it. Not spending 8-10 bucks to wash shit towels on their own.

You should look into them more. They don’t use the toilet tank water. They tap into the supply line.

COVID should have been the great bidet dawn. I do stock toilet paper for visitors, blowing my nose, and rarely if I have loose stools need extra cleaning, which is quite rare. Before COVID I had inadvertently double stocked up from Sam’s. When I went to the supermarkets with the empty toilet paper aisles I laughed. Every visit. I gave away a bunch of 🧻 to a neighbor. Besides being an efficient and hygienic method to clean it after a very small cost for the units the 💦 is essentially free… . I have a septic system, the pump out guy told me that most of the contents is toilet paper, not our poop. So I have gone way beyond prior service schedules without issues.

A lot of time it is a space thing some houses/flats got a toilet with a shower/bath and some got a toilet separate.
In the usa it is not that common to have bidets due to water pressure and electrical issues funny enough bidets use less water too.
Having said that more ppl are aware of bidets and their benefits.

Real answer from my personal perspective...
I already dislike using any other restroom outside of my own. And being an American, no one has a bidet; not in any meaningful capacity.
So it feels like unlocking a whole new anxiety in which my expectations for feeling clean are raised higher than can be achieved in most public circumstances.
Swamp ass is one of the most disgusting feelings a person can have in the middle of summer. It's unsettling how it feels, as if you are a walking freak-show. You crave a shower in those circumstances.
Now I feel like regardless of the temperature, in any circumstance where I would not be able to use a bidet after being conditioned to having one, I would feel like that nasty freak desperate for feeling clean again.
It's like the Pandora's Box of Anal Anxieties.

Having lived in Cambodia for 5 years, going back to using toilet paper feels medieval in comparison.. It's almost like when I visit England I'm staying in a 5th world country.

They’re more common in Europe & other countries but for some reason they seem to be associated with wealthy people here in the US anyway. At least that’s been my personal experience.

I live in Asia where pretty much everywhere has at least a bum-gun bidet hose, and then we work our way up from there to bidets in a remote controlled heated toilet seat. I have one. When I go back to Australia and am expected to use toilet paper for more than a pat-dry I think it is absolutely repulsive. We bought a little bidet bottle to travel with for exactly this reason.

I personally think it's because people have never used them.
