    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.

        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.

      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!

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

          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.
