Why aren’t baby wipers our default?
Bidet is life
Got one off Amazon for $35…wifey’s like, “meh”…I say, “30 days, you’ll wonder where it’s been all your life!”…8 days later, wifey, “When I go at work, I wonder why they don’t have…”
Bidet very good, but I still need a few squares to check. “Trust but verify.”
Be thankful you’re not blind…
As long as you’re not both blind and anosmic, should be OK.
Just give it the old taste stes then.
I feel like a support animal could be trained to help in any of these cases.
I don’t know how I feel about having an animal clean my ass that way…
Generally one should wipe anyways before using a bidet
Really, even if it’s a toilet with a bidet seat? I would think that wiping before spraying would decrease the effect of the spray.
So true
I’d argue, majority of places don’t have those. Also I’m talking about the wiping process.
You can order one online for like $35 and install it yourself, it’s a real game changer.
Not if you’re negated to manual work plus having an ant size bathroom.
Naw buddy it’s like an attachment onto your existing toilet. You can even get one with hot water for just a lil more if your toilet is close enough to the hot water inlet to the sink.
Some even do instant hot water without needing to be connected to the hot water line!
The size still a problem
You really need to investigate what people are telling you before you tell them they are wrong.
Mine goes under the toilet seat (space that’s already being used) and connects to the tank by a 1/2" metal hose.
Took me 10 minutes to install. $35 on Amazon.
It’s a hose, how can the room size be a problem?
To be fair, I honestly don’t know the size of your toilet, but I would be rather surprised if it’s such a nonstandardized size that you couldn’t find a cheap bidet to put on there.
That said, you seem opposed to the very concept of being able to mount a bidet so I think that’s your biggest barrier to a cleaner anus.
It just goes on your toilet seat, it doesn’t require much except connecting hoses.
Homie, I have a bathroom that is the literal T from Tetris. I got a bidet installed in mine ezmode.
I can recommend HappyPo, a portable bidet.
I must be using it wrong. It just makes my butt wet, not really easier to wipe.
Hard to say. I like to lean forward and to the side, lifting one butt cheek off the seat and then I do sploosh with relatively much pressure.
One mistake I’ve made at first, is to be a bit overzealous with the wiping. In order to be clean, you only need the outside of the sphincter to be clean. Trying to clean beyond there is rather pointless, as that’s the inside of your rectum, where your body literally stores shit.
But with toilet paper, you can obviously reach beyond that, which will return a stained toilet paper and make it look like you weren’t clean yet.
Guess that’s the reason.
Anything portable with the poo theme related is a no for me.
Use a bidet and never wipe again.
I don’t get this, I’ve used bidets, it results in a wet ass that I need to dry off with toilet paper which sometimes still shows poop
I guess keep wiping then. About a month since I installed our bidet and the only time I used paper after about the first week of checking, is at work. And yeah, my asshole is wet after I spray, but it is not like there is water pouring out of it or anything.
Did…did you say toilet paper?
He doesn’t know how to use the three seashells!
I hope we never stop referencing this.
Because “flushable” wipes really aren’t and they are mode of plastic?
Mine are plastic free and clearly fall apart in water
Do they come on a roll?
They felt like paper to me?
Damn looks like another american problem
See my other comment https://aussie.zone/comment/10813139
Considering this standard is less than two years old, I’d say this was definitely an Australian problem as well. It’s an issue in a lot of countries, including mine (not the US).
Yeah for sure, used to be a pain in the ass lol
Because toilet paper can be flushed, but baby wipes should go in a garbage bin?
My roommate refuses to acknowledge that key difference. I just hope I’m out of the apartment before it becomes my problem.
Being in an apartment, good chance it gets to the building-wide plumbing before clogging, and so wouldn’t be traced back to you. Of course, that would still leave you (and the rest of the building) without plumbing for a while whenever it actually does clog
Flushable paper based wet wipes exist
Proof or gtfo; being labelled ‘flushable’ is not proof, they are lying

Very US-centric problem, we solved this in Australia
Update: After extensive input from public wastewater bodies and industry experts including Kimberly-Clark Australia (the maker of Kleenex® Flushable Wipes), Standards Australia published a new, AU & NZ-specific, Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022). The Standard details clear testing criteria that need to be met for manufacturers to use a “flushable” label in accordance with the Standard.
We welcome the introduction of the new Standard and are proud to announce that Kleenex Flushable Wipes meet and exceed the requirements of the Australia/New Zealand Flushable Products Standard (AS/NZS 5328:2022)
bidet is the only green way
Some years back I was introduced to the CuloClean (https://culoclean.com/) - a side squirting cap that fits most any narrow plastic bottle, e.g. dish soap bottles. Super portable, I take it camping.
Until recently, baby wipes were largely non biodegradable
And they’re still non-flushable, despite what the package says.
Most baby wipes and similar materials aren’t designed to be flushed—“flushable” products like wipes do not readily disperse upon flushing and actually remain in a solid state while traveling through the sewer system. They may clog your pipes at home resulting in costly visits from your plumber. They may get caught in the public wastewater system, which can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to regional pumping equipment leading to higher sewer bills for us all. While many of these products might masquerade as “flushable” and “sewer friendly”, don’t be fooled!
Toilet wipes have led to an epidemic of what have been colloquially termed as turdbergs, which are vehicle sized piles of shit held together by baby wipes that refuse to actually biodegrade and have caused sewer and plumbing issues costing taxpayers and individuals millions of dollars.
Mine disperse fine, don’t trust big paper
Paper? I don’t wipe like a peasant. I have one of those $20 bidets.
Okay so how do you dry your arse
This shit again? Pun intended. But JFC Lemmy is fucking obsessed with TP & bidets.
Mandatory PSA: Baby wipes clog up the plumbing system. Please don’t flush those down a toilet. TP was designed to break down.
Right there with you.
Damn kids act like adults never considered it. Motherfucking kids go read some got-damn HISTORY once in a fucking while.
Neither existed for my grandparents.
People in the past had to put up with a lot of shit we don’t have to today. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take advantage on modern luxuries. Your hemorrhoids will thank you.
I can only imagine the confusion your grandparents must have lived in, having neither toilet paper nor history.

*poo intended
Read some history to discover methods used before we settled on toilet paper.
Spoiler: you’re not gonna like it.
Leaves, animal stuff, the bucket, not doing anything.
I know
Sticks, communal sponges…
Beatles, saddles, the “peanut butter solution”, orange peels, magnets, the list goes on
History
“We” didn’t. Join Eru’s chorus and buy a bidet.
