Bidet / washlet. Your life will forever be divided into a time before you had one, and a time after you had one. You may no longer enjoy vacations because of the lack of one.

After a bidet pick up a water flosser. It’s like a bidet for your teeth, pure hygiene comfort

Or just use either for both tasks, if you're on a budget. My Waterpik bidet is orgasmic.

except those times you get shit stuck in your teeth

[–] darelik@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Such as that time when 2 persons shared 1 beverage container?

[–] Dogyote@slrpnk.net 1 points 9 months ago

Hum, this seems like the better route. My bidet flosser is inconvenient.

I cant fucking stand water flossers, the feeling is much worse than regular floss, it kind of tickles in a really annoying way. Besides dentists seem to prefer people use regular floss anyway.

Unless you vacation in the countless other counties that have them. I am in Vietnam right now and they are everywhere including many public toilets.

I stick my arse over the edge of the bath and spray with the shower.

It is disgusting when you realize most people just use toilet paper. It’s just one step above being a barbarian.

You nailed it, this is exactly how I describe my bidet experience. My father-in-law is a convert and spontaneously began presenting it the same way.

How did I live before?! Gross!

I simply do not understand your kinds obsession with walking around with a wet ass...

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Virtually all of us use both. Bidet will clean you and TP will dry you.

[–] mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, you can never get it fully dry without using more tp than to just wipe. Its not designed to absorb that much water.

And consider: after you towel off from a shower you still have wet bits, that is the same with your bottom after a bidet.

No thanks.

I mean, literally anyone who's used a bidet before will know from daily experience that your comments are just wrong. It's not difficult to dry off, in fact it's pretty simple, and it uses much less toilet paper than the old way. The primary purpose of a bidet for most people also isn't TP conservation - that's just one of several nice side-effects.

I'm gonna duck out of any further replies here though because, frankly, you seem more interested in pushing this weird narrative you've settled on (in an old / dead thread, no less) than actually discussing it, and I can think of about a hundred things I'd rather be doing with my time. You do you, clean your butt whichever way makes the most sense to you.
