Why YSK: It’s cleaner, cheaper and more convenient than toilet paper
Imagine you get your hands covered in sticky filth. Do you wash them at a sink or just wipe them off with some paper and call it good?
Why do any different for your ass?
Because your ass does literally nothing else all day, but your hands touch things like food etc. I’d say it was more like getting shit on your leg. Do you wipe it off or just wait until you next have a shower?
That said I love the idea of bidets, I’m just terrified it’ll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant.
" I’m just terrified it’ll get my underwear and clothes wet while being cold and unpleasant." I’ve never had this issue.

The beam is way more focused than you might imagine. It can’t reach your clothes, there’s a fat-ass human in the way ;)
It’s a focused stream of water so you just have to aim a little. And the cold water is actually surprisingly refreshing even in the winter for me.
Wash them with soap and water and scrub them then dry them with a towel.
I’m from the US. While I have travelled to locales where they are commonplace, I never actually tried one. When lockdown and the tp crisis started, however, I purchased one online. I now hate having to use any lavatory that doesn’t have a bidet.
Q - Doesn’t it feel weird? A - No. Some people are worried that it may feel sexual. It doesn’t. It’s just a localized shower on your ass, which is something you hopefully do regularly.
Q - Won’t it just push detritus away from the epicenter and make a mess? A - It can, if the bidet has narrow spray. Mine does this. Just do a quick shimmy that makes the jet draw a decreasing radius spiral.
Q - Doesn’t everything get wet? A - Some bidets have air dryers, but in the absence of, yes. Keep tp in the lav to address this. The quick wipe to address this still saves a ton of tp.

I… did not know this was a concern? lol
I have to say I do LIKE the feeling of the jet hitting my sphincter. I mean it’s not full hunnnrrrr but it is …pleasent
I should clarify that I live in a remote area where a lot of people are homophobes. Anything directed towards one’s ass is, as the kids would say, sus af to these folks.
These people have serious issues. So, cleaning your butt makes you gay? Is toothbrushing OK, though?
The I don’t wipe or wash my ass because that’s gay crowd. What a special bunch.
The “let me be hyperfocused on sexualizing other men’s anuses to show how straight and manly I am” crowd.
And also saves trees
I installed one shortly before the pandemic started and ended up looking like Nostradamus.
You don’t realize you want one until you have it.
I got a Tushy classic bidet a year ago. It is amazing! For anyone out there that uses more toilet paper than you think you should, gets a raw bum from wiping, or wants to get three times cleaner, a bidet is for you. I’m a dude, but also my wife loves it. Honestly, one of the best purchases per dollar I have ever made and one that reminds me daily.
If you got poop on your hands, what do you think will get you cleaner? Couple of wipes with toilet paper or rinsing in the sink with water.
Please God, I beg you all to do this. I mean no disrespect to y’all at all.
I have been using a bidet/health faucet/Jet spray all my life. I was so shocked and disgusted when I found out people in the west used toilet paper 🤢🤢
I’ve used toilet paper a few times in emergencies and I’ve regretted it everytime. The difference between water and paper in cleaning your butt is so vast.
Alternatively, installing a faucet near the toilet and placing bucket and dipper (locally it’s tabo) is great. Common in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabo_(hygiene))
Scored myself a bidet during that TP shortage at the beginning of COVID lockdown and it’s been a game changer. Get one because your butt will especially thank you after a spicy Thai or Indian night. Spicy poo and mud butt? What are those?
I still use TP, but it’s now for drying off.
Have been using bidet my entire life. It’s a must! This post should be more of a PSA rather than YSK.
I’ve thought of getting at least a portable Bidet for a while (I rent, so can’t really install a proper bidet). How easy are they to install?
it’s an easy install and easy uninstall.
I wonder whether you meant “bidet shower” or “bidet” (meant as a stand-alone additional sanitary equipment for a toilet room).

40$ attachment and no more swamp ass. Say goodbye to foul balls. And no more tainted taint.
Honestly, I thought I was pretty clean before getting a bidet, but since getting one I can never go back without feeling gross. It’s weird what we can get used to, when that’s just how you’ve done things your whole life.
The only thing I hate about it is that it leaves the seat at an angle
You can get seat spacers on Amazon.
Does anyone know what options exist for those who rent? I just have a travel attachment but it’s more annoying to fill it up every time.
