It seems like the only logical option. If someone paid me to come up with a solution to having poopy butt I couldn't come up with a better one than a hose or a bidet. You know what I wouldn't do? I WOULDN'T INVENT PAPER YOU COULD RUB ON YOUR BUTT.

Like every person that has tried a bidet on the internet describes their experience as being reborn. Anyone that tries it instantly becomes a shill for big bidet. I have not seen a single negative review for a bidet aside from maybe water shooting up your back which is more of a skill issue with aiming.

There is some debate to be had between using a bidet versus using a hose. With bidet there's no hand contact but you can't control where the water goes. Im personally more in favor of hose since you still gotta flush and handle the bathroom door so there's gonna be contact either way, but using water is CLEARLY superior to toilet paper.

Water is cheaper and guess what? IT USES LESS CLEAN WATER THAN MAKING TOILET PAPER. That's right making a single tissue of TP uses more water than just simply washing your butt. You can also shower less frequently because you don't constantly smell like shit. We are deforesting jungles just to turn them into butt napkins that do not even clean us properly, they just smear the shit all over the crack and make us smell like poop.

Also without TP there's no longer an issue with assholes flushing their used TP down the toilet and clogging the pipes, houses will no longer get TP'ed, the pandemic scalping situation wouldn't have happened etc etc. So why are people still hellbent on using this inferior method?

seeing all the roundabout justifications to not wash your ass with water after pooping in this thread (which is really not difficult to do at all or even anymore wasteful than washing your hands and face, which i hope yall do but atp wouldn't be surprised) just further confirms my tendency to distance myself from the cracker and cracker brained

Most of them are valid I don't want to deny other people's experience.

After I learned to wash my ass I realised it didn't itch almost ever and then had the horrifying realization

I've had extreme culture shock when I went to Indonesia. Both the unsanitary conditions of their squat holes and the hoses or cups they use sitting in pools of stagnant water in a country notorius for malaria and mosquitoes used to both wash shit and shower with. The whole "wet room" concept when part of my job is to grow pathogens like Ecoli. Just saw everyone's shit germs everywhere and had a few days of mild panic attacks. Not to mention trying to keep my clothes dry in thise things and seperate shoes and lea-breakdown

Then how do people do that without getting their clothes all soaking wet?

Fast Forward after the shock john-agony wears off, I'll shower bidet and still theres shit that sticks and then is now in the shower in a drain that isn't a power flush. Which grows germs and doesn't go down properly.

My hybrid solution is to wet some TP to clean the area and then follow up with some lotion or mineral oil wipes until it's clean. Paper just doesn't do a full job. Then get your shit germ sprayer thing (bidet arm) that gets shit on and aprayed with shit crossed my mind, but our water is COLD and how do you keep it clean?

Every description online is like very vauge and overly modest in using a bidet and I just need something explict step by step.

Generally hygiene is taught by your mom/dad or primary caretaker and somewhat by your primary school. So if no one ever mentions that to you, you're probably not going to think about it, and even hearing about it is going to seem somewhat alien.

I personally just shit into my hand and cram it into my eurethra

ego and homophobia/sexual propriety. those are the kneejwrk reactions I've heard from non adopters.

they "know" their asses are clean because they've smeared shit into their balloon knot for decades and it was "fine". got some peanut butter in a keyhole...? just use some tissue paper. totally hygienic. to consider otherwise is to consider one has been living with low standards for personal cleanliness despite full access to all the necessary technology and infrastructure of empire.

when they finally consider that maybe dry paper doesn't really clean feces off of skin effectively, they lash out about how the desire for a clean anus is some kind of sexual perversion they are "above".

This sounds like exaggeration, but I've actually had someone say he doesn't use wet wipes because it's gay. "Why does my asshole need to be clean? For my boyfriend??"

Absolutely deranged puritanical culture.

real shit, i was summarizing my lived experience as a multi-decade bidet enjoyer. having been to the middle east and the far east as a younger person, and having had family live in the middle east for many years it was something we all adopted straight away. because once it is realized how affordable and easy it is to live a life without a be'shitted asshole, it becomes the standard. like bathing regularly, brushing teeth, or washing dishes. you can't just go back. not to mention, a typical entry level apparatus pays for itself in TP cost savings in a few months for a single person.

i gave up on evangelizing to the westoids very early on, because the majority dismiss it with some invective from one of (or both) of the two camps: "i can clean feces perfectly by blindly smearing it with paper" / "you are a sexual pervert". these being responses to me having one in my bathroom and them seeing it. maybe 1 in 10 or 1 in 20 would see it, try it, and become converted. the rest were upset and confrontational.

Bidets exist but only in "fancier" homes. I think France & Italy have it more common. Anyways I use a hand bidet for travel, and have one at home. But I still need toilet paper because I dont want a wet crack.

Gatorade is more refreshing and hydrating.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

Gatorade tastes so shit it honestly belongs in waste water.

lmao we have an insult for europeans which translates to "butt unwasher" (or کون نشور). y'all have the permission to use it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Is that Persian or Arabic? And can you transliterate please LMFAO. I love this.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (1 children)

it's Persian. technically it transliterates to butt unwasher the translation would be "someone that doesn't wash their butt".

EDIT: sry i misunderstood it's koon nashoor or kun nashur.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Unlike translate, transliterate means to convert from one writing system to another. The user is asking you how you write that in latin letters, probably so they can have some idea at all about how to pronounce it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

oh right i thought it meant translating word by word as opposed to translating to the target language. it's koon nashoor or kun nashur.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

This is going on some protest signs for sure, thank you comrade

if it gets a quarter popular as cracker then that would be excellent.
