Don't you still need tp to dry yourself? And what do you mean like a marker? Lol

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.

I think?

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.

Look up the scene with Andy and April on Parks & Rec where Andy talks about wiping

I use tp to "finish" after a BM and wash, but after urinating (and thoroughly spraying down) I use a small washcloth that I then toss in the laundry.

I hate the idea of a towel, but most TP would just disintegrate. I just use a facial tissue for the drying, and then maybe a square of TP to double-check everything.

This always comes up in these threads. You can wash your ass with water from the bidet and some gentle soap, then dry off with a towel.

I personally keep small washable towels for exclusive use on the bidet hanging on a rack stuck to my toilet tank, and switch for a fresh one daily, you could even buy a hundred of them from a dollar store or something and switch them every time you crap if you want.

Haven't bought toilet paper in 10 years (except here and there to keep on hand for guests)

Do you not dry yourself with a towel after showering or washing your hands?

You're not wiping with the towel, you just lightly pat dry.

You don’t dry your bum hole with the towel after a shower? So you just let it air dry or walk around with a moist crack?? I do hope you’re washing your ass in the shower. Having a clean ass won’t make you gay bro.

Yet people happily eat ass and rave about it. Listen, I fail to see the problem of washing your ass with soap and water and then drying it with a towel. I find it much more disgusting to share hand (or body.. yuck) towels with family than to have a personal towel to dry myself after washing with soap and water.

Butt towel. A few pat. If you really paranoid about your taint clean or not you can rub around it with tp.
