This toilet roll type I brought is so strong that you need to use maybe three squares at most.

Yeah. I thought science and technology could only bring us so far.

I have been trying to talk my wife into getting one for ages. Anyone have a good argument I should try next time?

[drolex@sopuli.xyz]

Yeah. I thought science and technology could only bring us so far.

Friend started dating a guy. Guy would spend a bunch of time over at friends house. Lo and behold, one day we visit and there’s a new bidet that BF ‘bought for friend’.

We all know BF bought for himself.

Just get one, put it on and use it yourself, you can get one that spins on the supply line and hangs off the side of the tank for like $40. Once you've started washing your asshole instead of suffering with TP and a constantly dirty chocolate starfish, you'll never go back. She might use it and realize the same.

My favorite glib argument in favor of bidets is "When you get poop on you, do you wipe it off or wash?"

Honestly though they're cheap, easy to install, feel great (clean), and save money. And if she doesn't want to use it she doesn't have to.

Plus you get the joy of hearing the yelp from unexpected cold water on the anuses of your guests when they try it for the first time.

Luxe bidet is the brand I use nothing fancy to it at all. (Clearly as it's not even warm water.)

I probably should have mentioned we share a bathroom with two kids (small house). So her main concern is that children would play with it. (7 and 2)

[pronell@lemmy.world]

Oh.

Yes.

Kids would turn it on and a jet of water would hit the ceiling. Look into other models, hehehehe.

[kbobabob@lemmy.world]

So you didn't dry off?

[carbonatedpastasauce@lemmy.world]

Of course I do, but you don’t need the luxury carbon fiber quintuple-ply for that!

[dendie@lemmy.world]

Tempo 5-ply is my favourite after extensive testing

[shepherdpie@midwest.social]

Why not just get one? I did and my wife is hesitant so she doesn't use it but me having and using it doesn't affect her at all. I think it was only $30 or $40 on Amazon.

[gofsckyourself@lemmy.world]

I can't imagine cleaning yourself with just dry sheets of paper. I wish bidets were available at public restrooms.

[theminions@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

Yeah if we had our own separate bathroom I’d do it for sure.

[jpreston2005@lemmy.world]

I use a bidet, then two sets of two squares. First one to get most of the water, the second to clean the crevice. Then, I keep a bunch of white cotton 9"x9" towels folded on top of the reservoir, and use one of those to do a final thorough clean + dry. Toss it in a slim laundry bin I keep in the bathroom just for this purpose. Works great. I honestly think I've stumbled upon the best method for washing ones rear.

[asslesschaps@lemmynsfw.com]

One up, one down, one to polish

[shepherdpie@midwest.social]

Time to convince her to build a poopin' shack out in the backyard.

[bradleyuffner@lemmy.world]

Up up up the ziggurat, lickity split!

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I realize this is very stupid, but I have some very weird psychological stuff going on when it comes to toilets, what goes into them, etc. And something about bidets really disgusts me. I realize there is absolutely nothing rational about that. It should be the exact opposite.
