I mean, it IS funny just how much this guy has to say about literal shitting but they clearly have the knowledge and experience to share They uhh know their shit
So do I. While everyone was clamoring for TP, I purchased an in-seat bidet toilet lid. You "demote" shower towels to bidet use (floss method) to dry your rectum. Once you've had enough of that, it becomes a "sopping-up" floor towel until the laundry cycle is ready. The anus acclimates to a higher-pressure environment, so you won't have to deal with leftover feces *ever* if you do it right.
I love how reddit just unanimously crowned this person as the Bidet expert cause let's be honest I use one and I didn't even know there were so many nuances to it till this guy pointed it out
@@aliceiscalling If your stool is so soft that you are always essentially having liquid shits, that isn't normal, if that isn't the case and you're assuming one wipe works, you are really fucking gross
People rarely talk about their habits in the bathroom, so when they finally do they find there is little consensus but some very strong and very specific opinions. Basically everyone that does it slightly different is labelled disgusting, and also everyone does it slightly differently. However edit #5 is just objective fact, people with college degrees were paid serious money to make sure paper towels hold it together when wet but toilet paper does the opposite.
Edit 5 should be obvious but the number times the people working on city sewage pipes have had to remove the giant solid masses those "flushable" wipes turn into over time, prove that it really needs to be said more often.
"Basically everyone that does it slightly different is labelled disgusting, and also everyone does it slightly differently." This is so true. Can't even remember how often people called me disgusting on reddit for saying that washing yourself everyday is enough and it doesn't need to be a full shower every day. People get really judgemental about people they don't even know for the tiniest of things.
The people from the stickiest climates get confused why you _wouldn't_ shower all the time, and the rest decide they have to defend their extra amount of showers instead of just leaving things be. Every couple days is just fine for whole showers.
Gods, I remember going to a really humid seaside city. As soon as I stepped outside the hotel, I was _immediately_ sticky all over. Literally instant. It felt so gross. I can understand why those guys shower every day
@@AklyonX While that's fair, at *least* the down below bits need to be cleaned properly every day. And, frankly, it's faster and more convenient to just hop in the shower to do that process rather than trying to use a bowl and wash cloth or some such. Definitely no need to soap and wash cloth every inch of your body every single day, but if you're engaging in any kind of intimacy with your partner it's pretty important to be clean.
The fact they are playing this completely straight is respectable. Yeah, it's weird, but all knowledge is valid and sharing experiences is how we learn- even in regard to pooping.
@@lemontonk your allowed too pretty much anything, but going into excruciatingly precise detail on how you clean you butt after pooping is by in large seen as a, ehhh, taboo subject. Just because everyone does it doesn't mean everyone wants to hear about it, even in this context.
Bidet tip: never buy the bidet that shoots out a sad, slow, desperate stream of water, preferrably, use the bidet that shoots out a strong, hard and straight stream of water and has recoil, completely removes the poop stains, further reducing the use of toilet paper/hands. Edit: Such inexperienced fellows fret upon mention of “Hands”, While Yes, it may be unsanitary, that’s why you wash your hands after… Learning the technique of ‘Wipe’ with your hands will be of great use to you, so if ever you do not have toilet paper, or other pieces of cloth at your own disposal, your hands will be there for you, as they always were. Ever notice why our fingers are so eccentrically shaped to perfectly get every nook and cranny down there? They were made for cleaning, as they always were. But still, USE TOILET PAPER!! It’s why it exists!
@@eusopao5926not necessarily bolt it, but you should use some sort of binder between the bidet and floor when installing, same thing that keeps the toilet from moving
Technically like 90% of the things in your house aren't really necessary, but they do help to have a better quality of life. Once you've experienced having a washed butthole, you can never go back to toilet paper only. You just feel dirty.
@@moteroargentino7944 I understand feeling more dirty with just toilet paper, however the friction it provides does a well enough job at cleaning all debris off. Sure it probably won't get rid of the bacteria and whatnot, but a lot of it is beneficial for you anyway so whatever.
@@moteroargentino7944True. In SEA almost every house has a bumgun in its restrooms and I don't get how people feel comfortable using only TP to clean their ass.
And this hasn’t even delved into the realm of periods. A bidet is worth it for that alone for us period havers. No more feeling the need to shower when you get home to wash away the dry blood. Glorious.
Period havers? What on earth is a period haver? Is that like a school term? Who do you have next period? I have period 3 as free then Mr Jones. Ah Mr Jones, i hear he has lots of periods. Yes it is true, bag fulls of full-stops, but only a small container of commas. Period haver smh.
Cleaning your teeth is the only time you clean your skeleton. Edit: can you guys please just shut up with the “teeth aren’t bones”? It’s getting annoying, I’ve already answered the same comment many times, please just stop :c
Reading this shit from an Italian perspective is surreal. We usually have a bidet (not the spraying surrogate attached to a WC) a dedicated soap (positively more than one to also respect different pHs of genitals) and a personal towel. That's the norm.
@@kricku well yeah but if the waddling upsets you, you can jump screaming "HEY!" Like Edwards or something, if you hit something in the process you can call an "AND ONE!" to an imaginary ref, in the end just whatever incentivizes you to don't go around with a crusty anus and cheesy penis, you know?
@@devlintaylor9520 The reason you only flush toilet paper is because it is made to break down when it gets wet. Paper towels are made to hold together when they get wet, so they'd be very bad for the plumbing. Those flushable wipes kind of break down, but not as well as toilet paper, so that's why the package says only one per flush.
There is some truth to what he's saying, but I really hope he's the only one on earth exercising their anus to wash itself. On the other hand, you SHOULD use your hands to clean, even if there is poop still on your butt (just clean your hands afterwards), because the water only does some of the job. Last tip, yes you can use toilet paper to check for cleanliness, but please use many layers and if you ARE clean, use a towel to dry off. Sorry for the long reply, but TL:DR he's kinda right and kinda weird af (especially the anus thing)
@@Justgreen89925se il bidet/doccia ha una pressione decente basta il getto d'acqua in realtà, chiaro però che dipende anche dal caso specifico, cioè perdonami la dettagliezza ma se hai due metri quadri di cacarella spruzzata per rimbalzo sulle chiappe forse è meglio usare un po' di carta prima di dover fare il salterello dal cesso al bidet P.S. comunque non capisco tutta questa fobia che hanno sti qui dell'idea di sporcarti una mano che tanto lavi due secondi dopo sotto lo stesso getto magari pure con lo stesso detergente, cioè in caso contrario vai abbastanza alla cieca, tanto valeva non controllare nemmeno
im italian and we have a separate bathroom fixture as a bidet (not just a hose attached to your water, although those are usually found in public stalls), its like, a large bowl meant for you to sit on that has a faucet with warm and cool water. we usually sit on it after pooping and wash our bum with both water AND soap (and yes, using hands to clean it all away), and then pat dry with a dedicated towel only for the intimate area.
I've always seen them in rich houses and never understood the reasoning for having a separate bowl for a bidet. Do you just... get up and scooch over while your asshole is filthy?
I am glad to know Europeans (or at least Italians) wash their anus with soap unlike Americans. How could one possibly conceive that you wash your whole body with soap and then *not* soap the part that comes in contact with poop? They're mad.
@Justgreen89925 We don’t have pressure washers in our toilets, but we few Americans who use a bidet connect the bidet toilet attachment to the water lines that fill the toilet tank. That way we don’t have to bother with another fixture to use alongside the toilet we already have, and we get about the same water pressure as your separate bidet fixture does.
I've always wiped first and then washed myself on the bidet, never seen it as a way to use less toilet paper but rather as a method to make extra sure that I'm clean.
I shared this exact view when I was a kid. One place I lived had one, but I don't think I ever used it. I don't remember exactly when I learnt the idea was to wash literal chunks of poo from your butt. I know it really changed my view on bidets though. Hard not to see them as some sort of shit basin, which is a big change from a kids view of "that funny sink next too the loo".
@@bg3841 to be honest I think it might be cultural differences or even the fact that people don't like talking about it, where I live bidets are a common thing you find in most houses and I believe most people use them the same way I've always did, but occasionally I've heard people make comments hinting that they use it the other way. Then there's the people that have them in their house but admit to never use it which always confused me a bit, also I'm pretty sure that it's a lot more common for men to use the bidet than it is for women. I remember my dad insisting that he would never live in a place without a bidet while my mom told me she never liked using them. I dunno, I'm 34 and at this point I'm not gonna change my ways.
Exactly, the dedicated bidet should be used to wash what you couldn't get off with the paper, because 1) if you get up with a dirty bum from the toilet to switch places there's a chance you could leave a trace, and 2) it's not directly connected to the main black water pipe, nor is it engineered to easily wash out big chunks of matter the same way as a toilet, so on a bad day you might make a mess. The ones that you CAN use right after you finished your business are the ones that you can install on the lid of the toilet itself, so everything goes in the same place. Those are the best in my opinion.
You know what will *guarantee* that you are clean down there? Steel wool. For those of you who just audibly yelped at the thought of this, you should definitely be doing a fair bit of bum-time fun time because you have the sensitivity for it.
Usually it doesn't make much difference to me whether I have a bidet or not. But it's really nice to have when I get acidic poops and need to wash that shit off before my ass becomes raw the rest of the day. Toilet paper just rubs the acid in and makes it usually hurt worse.
As a British person I can confirm that that post was written by a British person, because we as a species exclusively use words such as: ‘noggin’’ and ‘bum’. Noggin’ referring to the head for people not native to Britland or have never come to this chaotic jungle of wacky language and frequent disagreements about how you arrange jam and cream on a scone.
A British person who watches enough American tv to use "y'all". I'm not even from the Southern USA but "y'all" is such good catchall word. Ex: "Y'all motherfuckers need Jesus"
I have been wanting a bidet and better wipe experience and had so many questions about the bidet. Not only did I manifest the answers but it came thru this video and channel. Magic is all around me.
My favorite metaphor to illustrate the importance of water in bathroom hygiene: "Imagine a seagull shat on your hand. Would you just wipe it with a tissue and call it clean?"
my brain autocorrected to bidget which autocorrected to bridget and i thought this was gonna be about guilty gear i'm not gonna watch more of thos video
My shower towels are demoted in a specific order: Showers (standard usage) Bum-drying towel (post-bidet usage) Floor (to sop up my kids' wild bath spray)
This person is the hero all new bidet users need, and their contributions will continue to be appreciated by each new generation of bidet users who search up "how to use a bidet reddit".
Toilet paper first to remove the excess poop. Then a quick spray of water from the bidet, then soap, wash (yes, with your hand, you wimp) rinse, dry with a dedicated personal towel that gets washed and bleached obsessively often. I've always used soap, and I've never suffered from a dry and cracked butthole. A squeaky clean butthole, yes. That's for number two. Number one gets water only and then towel. Never use soap for number one if you've got the bits that are hiding instead of hanging.
@@sokjeong-ho7033 wtf, it's equivalent to dropping food on fresh bird poo and then picking it up to eat anyway please! At least wash your hands so no one and nothing gets touched by your dirty ass hands!
Ditch that toilet paper nonsense altogether, you wimp, *and let the water remove the poop.* That’s what it’s there for. After all, we _are_ using soap like pros anyway, and 5-10 seconds of water isn’t going to kill your water bill. TP is kept under the sink pretty much only for the weakling degenerates who drop by that still need their blankie. Courage up and make it happen.
As an Asian, I just bidet until I’m done and just put on my underwear, handfree, no toilet paper(because you never met any in your whole life, mere legends on the internet)
@@faceless1434 I don't know about you, but the underwear just absorb what little bit of water is sticking. It's like a little towel. If you feel uncomfortable it'll dry off eventually, unless it's extremely humid that day.
I would love to join Team Bidet, but good luck finding a flat that features one over here. ("Over here" is Germany, btw.) I guess I have to build my own house or something just because I want a bidet.
I got one off amazon but I cant install it myself. Apparently I would have to unscrew my toilet from the wall for the extension pipe and it's dangerous to do without the water being shut off and having the proper tools. I asked my family about one and they said they didn't want a bidet because they're not uncivilized???
America is a conservative, prude and priggish country that looks down on European culture, especially French, as immoral, hyper-sexual and frivolous and one of the reasons bidets never caught on here is Americans associated them with sex work after soldiers saw them in brothels during WWII. There were other reasons for the lack of bidets, including the small bathroom size and plumbing types in most American homes, but for the most part, the bidet represents everything Americans dislike - a focus on bodily functions & intimate body parts and the French
@@lonestarr1490 You can get a bidet attachment for standard toilets. Since 2020, bidets have become popular here in the US but most bathrooms don't have the space or plumbing needed for a separate one. A quick Google search brings up a ton of info on installation, requirements, most popular/best models lists...etc.
Also, toilet paper doesn’t clean you properly Ask anyone who lives in a country with a Muslim shower and they’ll tell you that they have to take a shower every time after they go to the bathroom to not feel DISGUSTING
It’s usually attached to the inside of the toilet (here at least) and sprays water at your butt when you’re done pooping to clean it off. They’re in every toilet in most of Africa and SEA (maybe all of Asia idk). I was so confused learning it didn’t exist everywhere.
unfortunately my bidet water pressure varies by the day so i have to use my hands. and i use soap every time. like cmon do you really expect water alone to clean it? also have a dedicated towel to dry. in public i use wet wipes and dispose of them properly.
This is solid advice! I took my first trip outside of the US last year and knew that there would be a bidet in the bathroom of my hotel room. So I did some research and found a lot of the same stuff this person is saying. But naturally, you never know till you try it. I liked it and ought an attachment for my toilet here when I returned. It still took a lot of trial and error to figure out what process made me feel the most clean while reducing toilet paper use and also didn't leave me with wet undies
I actively use my free hand to wash my hole area. That way i ensure the cleanliness of my hole and prevents future itch. You just need to make sure the spray wasn't too strong so it won't enter the hole because that water could breed other bacteria you don't want inside
I love this because bidets are different in Italy. You sit face forward with a faucet in between your bare groin. Then, you use your hands to direct and wipe your area along with gentle purpose made soap.
