How To Dry Off After Washing With A Bidet 

I'm a man in my 70's and I just installed my first bidet a little over a year ago. There are not a whole lot of things I cherish in this world, but let me tell you, this is at the top of my very short list. If you don't have one, GET IT NOW. It will be the most rewarding thing you've ever done for yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have lived in Egypt for 30 years. It is amazing that Westerners are still finding this fascinating. Washing your bottom with water is obviously the right way.

Not using paper products was one of the two reasons I installed bidets in my home in 2013. I got my wife to get some dish-sized cotton towels and cut them up into smaller squares. We use those and then launder them Ten years later, we are using the same cloths.

I went to school in France, so am familiar with the use of a bidet. I also, it seems, have a bad reaction to the chemicals used in T.P. production. My own 1950s bathroom is so tiny there's just no room to add bidet equipment to the toilet, so I went in another direction 10 years ago when I decided to do my part to protect the environment. I made some 8 x 8 flannel squares which are stored in a basket next to the commode. I use a turkey baster to clean with first, then the squares, which I put into a sealed plastic collection container after use. I have saved a fortune at the grocery store, and I imagine I've saved a few trees along the way. My daughter thinks I'm an escapee from a hippie commune.

I just got a bidet a couple days ago and I LOVE IT!! Can't believe I lived without it for my whole life

When I bought my first wand bidet attachment, I also bought a basket and a dozen 12" x 12" wash cloths for $10 Target. Haven't worried about toilet paper in my home since.

I've recently started working on going paperless or "almost" paperless. I have a hand held bidet and use it after every toilet use. To save paper I dry off using old washrags. I keep a little toilet paper for company. I've also started using cloth hankies instead of klennex (keep one box for company). Use cloth knapkins and am working on using cloth for cleaning instead of paper towels. I've enen crocheted dishrags and I like them better than sponges. Also make my own toothpaste and laundry soap and am getting ready to start learning how to make my own bar soap.

Totally love the Tushy Bum Towels. Just bought another set in a different color. And yes they’re soft and easy to use. Note: you’re not wiping your butt with the towels, you’re just pat drying the sprayed water. I use one towel for like 1-3 days depending on how much I use it. I haven’t used TP in over a year, and that blows me away. Wish I used a bidet decades ago. Would of saved a lot of money.

I made my own terrycloth tushy blotters from towels and washcloths. I made them 5x5 inches. Real easy. Will be making some 4x4s because they don't need to be big, just absorbent. I still keep a roll of TP around, but one roll lasts a month or two.

"Ask me about my butthole!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I fucking can't with that shirt 🤣

Got our Tushy bidet during the great toilet paper crisis of 2020 and it is wonderful. We don't have the spa model so the water is usually cold, but not unbearable. Towel drying works the best for me.

We went a little more upscale when we went for the bidet system in the two bathrooms of our new house. Our heinie washers have various settings from gentle upside down rain to ai-yi-yi blast-off ramjet, straight spot stream to oscillating, adjustable seat temp, water temp, and hot air dry temp. The hot air dryer doesn't do a very good job all by itself but a quick blot with a little TP, way less than you would use for wiping, gets all the drips and drops, and the hot air blower then gets it the rest of the way dry. We will never go back to pooping and smearing with TP, like a savage. The bar has been raised. Our standards are now higher.

Nice job. My head is spinning right now. So much great info. The bamboo TP sounds great. Nothing is worse than a trip to Uranus and winding up with klingons! Its always important to make sure the paper work is done well in the end. On the hole I support your work. All joking aside great job. Thank you.

I have explored around your website - this is answering questions and has advice that the doctors do not bother with. Thank you!

I love that y'all are still active on this channel!

I use it after a piss too, at the Las Vegas Paris where hubby took me on our honeymoon was my first introduction of this wonderful invention! For women during that time of the month, I always felt squeaky clean. Love them bidets, and so did hubby! Italy is way ahead of us.

I bought a bidet at the start of the pandemic that shall not be named. Toilet paper was scarce back then, so we decided to use soft and fluffy bunnies. We never had to worry about the supply. Those little wascally wabbits multiplied and now we have a petting zoo. Just don't pet the brown ones.

Great personality! Love your energy and presentation skills!

I just really appreciate her energy and her caring nature and the info is pretty cool, ya that too.

Okay okay I'm sold! I can't wait to get my hands on my first bidet!

I bought a bidet during the pandemic and love it. Can't not use it anymore. However, I have found that the bidet doesn't always remove all the "residue" and that I'll sometimes still have to follow up with a couple wipes of toilet paper after patting dry with the towel. So, I guess it's reduced my toilet paper use a bit, but ultimately, for me, results in a better and more comfortable clean overall than toilet paper alone.

Love, love, love my Tushys. I have 6 in my 2 homes and the cleanest bum in the neighborhood. I keep a stack of wash cloths for drying and a small bin for the laundry, washing with the towels each week.

This video deserves a (I hesitate to use the expression) thumbs up. It's just a damn good and useful video.

As a nurse, I praise and encourage everyone to use a bidet. It really cuts down or eliminates UTIs, for one thing. After giving birth l can think of nothing better for a new mom to have. After hemorrhoid surgery, they are a total blessing I hear! As a user, I wish every toilet in the world came equipped with one. It washes you both front and back if you get the right model, not just the back or only after poop as the video leads you to believe. I bought one because $18 for a package of toilet paper is atrocious, and of course there was a shortage during Covid! My bidet paid for itself by NOT buying three large packs of TP! THREE! Mine is not the brand advertised in the video. I also bought the cheapest package of Walmart washcloths I could find. I cut those in half, finished the raw edges on my serger, fold them in thirds and stack them in a pretty basket next to my toilet. You could certainly use a whole wash cloth as well if you don’t sew. After the poo, wash, then use TP to be sure you are clean. Use more as needed to ensure you are clean, washing before each use. Then dry. Disposable products are expensive - period. I use a net bag from the laundry section (Amazon, Walmart, or Dollar Tree) to put my used towels in, zip it closed, and toss it into the laundry. You can also buy a portable bidet, which is a small bottle with a perfectly positioned and battery operated spray head. I highly recommend both!

So looking forward to getting a bidet of my own! This video was so informative and you are so cute! Love the bamboo products! Much love!

I put in a biden not to save, but after the latest spinal fusion my arms won't reach there real well. I do an after shot to clean up. Paper is typically a "byproduct" of lumber. The waste wood from the sawing process makes the pulp that makes paper. Other "tree farms" specifically grow trees to harvest for the pulpwood industry. Sustainable.

For those that are solo and short on cash, old wash cloths or rags can also work well.

Never, have I enjoyed an ad-info-video so much! YOU, are great!

Problem with bamboo tp is that it doesn’t break down as easily in a septic tank. I’ve been through that kind of backup. Wasn’t fun.

We have a bidet but I find if I have a soft stool I have to wipe vigorously before even using the bidet….then I have to wipe after using it. I’m not sure there’s a big saving in toilet paper in the end.

WOW! There are videos for everything! Love it!

Just the vid i've been looking for.

Idk where that 141 # came from but as a single dad with son we use maybe 2 rolls a month. So high end 24 rolls a year. Now we opened our home to a family and began using one a day so women use far more then children unsupervised will use a whole roll.

Love the videos with Carrie! She does a great job

Thank you for the lesson!

Just came across this video. What Fun!!

Great info. I don't have a bidet,....but this has always been a question I needed an answer for. I didn't think a wet tushy, would feel good going back into your briefs. So, thanks!

I'm looking for #2 options. I've been using cloths and a sealed container with a lid for #1 for years. I have many environmentally conscious hygiene habits so it just seems like it is time to work on this area. Previous to this batch I had found a microfiber cloth meant for mops at Daiyso and cut it in fours, never unraveled and lasted for years. Great video.

Thanks for explaining!

this all new to me but I love it I'm getting it now nice video thanks a lot👍

I worked in Thailand and they used a kitchen sink style spray. Now I Have one hooked up on my toilet and use Scott tissue and it works great and a roll of paper lasts me a month. You do have a dedicated valve to turn down the water flow down and have a good aim.

I feel like such a dumb American right now. WE just installed a shower that came with a bidet with warm water & I'm on you tube trying to figure out how 🤔 the heck this all works & learned BAMBOO sounds amazing. WHAT ELSE are they not telling us !!! Thank you best video explanation so far 👍

Thank you for sharing. I feel more educated about this.❤️😎

I (proudly) bidet.💧The absolute best thing ever!⛲️

Have been using a traditional French bidet for forty years. I dry with small hand towels, which go in the wash after one use.

Love using my bidet. I'm so disappointed when I have to go at work. I use 4 squares to pat dry but I'm definitely going to give the mini towels a look. I wonder how they compare in size and price to a washcloth or dish towel. Just don't mix with your actual dish or wash cloths. Lol

great vid and info

How does 1 individual go through nearly 3 rolls per week. Im in the UK and there are 200 sheet on a roll.

I'm using a travel bidet until I can convince my family to make the move to a proper bidet. I really appreciate this video!

I have been transitioning my entire personal hygiene routine to reusable and more sustainable options. I have been thinking about a bidet for a little bit now and seriously considering the change, especially since it is removable rather than a permanent attachment

I had a toilet seat bidet installed. Best purchase ever! USA 🇺🇸 and bamboo tp. 😊

141 rolls a year! That's a new roll in less than three days! My family of four does not use that much combined. I cannot believe this average.

I keep an old hair dryer handy and use that to dry off. It has two heat settings and I use the lowest one. Works great.

Just for your information paper mills use pine trees that are replanted and grow back fast

Your awesome, thanks for the info.

September 21, 2023: Very informative! I'm gonna give bamboo TP a try!

I love using my bidet, however because of previous (pretty bad) hemorrhoids during and after pregnancy, I don’t get completely clean with just the bidet. There is still something left in the “nooks and crannies.” I tend to use damp (not wet) small washcloths that get me clean and dry enough after the bidet.

New subscriber here!! Very interesting channel and video!!

I have a problem with doing #2 randomly throughout the day (or night) so used the toliet a lot. TP use irritated me even more.Decided to look into a bidet attachment. Problem:cold water squirted at my bum....not pleasant.Maby rich people have a way around this,but we mere mortals do not.So I looked into what else was available on Amazon.LOTS! I decided on a portable hand held unit with a bottle for the water (warm from the faucet) which had a rechargeable top.It works great. Then,for the dying I either just air dryed by wiggling around (LOL) or used face cloths which are like the "bum cloths" but I am sure much cheaper.Anyway,I am very happy with my improvised solution.

Wow.!!! You could sell ice makers to antarctic explorers.! Tushy towels are on my list of absolutly needed items now. LOL loved the show.

Oh my God you're so adorable!!! I love this video! I love you t-shirt! Lol

I don’t dry, although my bidet seat has a drier. I have to wear an incontinence pad any way, which is more than enough for spare drips. I don’t really notice any wet feeling in the pooping region.

You make a good point about the water that goes into creating a roll of tp (although I am inclined to question whether this water is truly "consumed" or if it is reused or reccyled somehow). But the trees we use to make paper are renewable. Forests are logged pursuant to a plan, and forestry management is meant to ensure that the cutting helps the forest and that the forest is able to sustain itself and its current levels of growth. Trees grow back! If we stopped using paper, we wouldn't need the trees to be there, and there is a risk they would be destroyed to build more roads and houses. Using paper keeps more trees around, not the opposite

Right from the start, there were so many funny puns that I am going to get one of these this weekend!!! HiLARIOUS PRODUCT SALESMANSHIP!!! Well played, Clerks; well played....

I just ordered a bidet today. I actually am so excited to use it lol. T.p is gross and a hassle to have to buy all the time

People in the USA use an average of 141 rolls of TP a year? How is that possible? Or do they have very small rolls?

Good presentation with hidden ADVERTISEMENT in between. Thanks

Loving the comedic touch 😂 💩 🚽

I’ve lived in Asia for well over 20 years and have had built-in bidets for most of that time. Ours has a built-in fan to er blow dry your but afterwards but that takes time so often it’s toilet tissue for us. We’ve found a soft recycled one here and are very careful on how much we use

Amazing how you managed to make this into a 6 minute video.

This is freakin hilarious! Love her!😂

Again, thank you for being real

Ok, without soap, fecal bacteria will not simply rinse off of your butt with a little water. As soon as you pat your cheeks dry, you've transferred trace amounts of fecal matter to the towel, and it will transfer to whatever else that towel touches, next. Keep that in mind the next time you pick up, or put down, one of these butt-towels. A single use, before tossing it into a dedicated bin with a surface that can be effectively sterilized, would be about the only way I can see to use a towel in this manner without exposing yourself to E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and/or Vibrio.

Since having an electronically controlled bidet seat on each of our toilets, we stopped purchasing and/or using toilet paper. We especially enjoy a refreshing spray followed by a warm gentle dry air blast. Friends In another city bought a house with 3 bathrooms, each with "plumbed-in" bidet. Many of those have very few function🤡.

I wanted to know... & I think sideshows are a smart gimmick. nice work, thanks for sharing, enjoy, gracias

She's so enthusiASStic

A hot- air hand dryer installed at crotch level would be ideal.

what about electric blow dryers (like hand dryers but made for bum), I'd like to get a review to know which is the best

I just use a peri bottle, myself - plus I can take it with me when I am out and about, too. And a little cloth for drying.

🎄🌴 Trees do grow back & are a renewable resource.

I just take 2 steps over into my shower and use my handheld shower head on stream setting. Much more water pressure and it’s warm too.

The best way I found to dry is to just sit on a micro cloth. Dry the frontal area and by the time you Finnish drying up front you stand and the micro cloth has absorbed the water used on the buns

That T-shirt…..it’s amazing 🤣

Great video! Love your shirt 😂

Bamboo Towels concern: Microfiber causes pollution through washing & wearing. Plastic particles washed off from products such as synthetic clothes contribute to 35% of the primary plastic polluting our oceans. Every time we do our laundry, an average of 9 million microfibers are released into wastewater treatment plants that cannot filter them.

I've used bamboo toilet paper and it is way better than regular toilet paper.

I’ve been using TP only because sometimes you don’t get “everything” especially after a bad #2. Would hate to ruin the mini towels. But maybe I could use those for after #1 and save TP for #2s and guests. Do you use those towels for #2 and #1?

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE T-SHIRT😂

Bum towl would be great, but 2 kids at home and 4 that visit. Plus my partner and I. Let's say we each have 1 bowel movement per day and 2 or 3 pee. We would go through so many towels, it would be a whole wash in itself after a day (I know, I'm exaggerating, but you get what I mean.. I would need a stack of towels in constant supply). TP would be easier, but problem for environment. So I don't know which way to lean

I have many reusable sewed rags , gonna make some for tushy towels!!! I use muslin for “kleenex”. gonna use flannel and terry cloth for mine!

Like the bamboo TP but FYI after trees are cut down they too grow back.

That shirt must be a nice conversation starter. 👌

Is there such a thing as a bidet that includes a blow dryer?

Do you only use the bidet after taking a poo or do you also use the bidet after taking a pee? Because in the videos of people talkin about bidet I always get the feeling they are just using it after pooping or for monthly hygiene but I actually also like using it after peeing (I am a female)

A “Tushy” ambassador.

I used Audie Murphy toilet paper which was rough and tough but would not take shit off nobody. Graduated to star trek toilet paper that was guaranteed to circle your arse and wipe out cling on's but still did not feel clean enough. My Bidet jet blasts rubble that is stuck in the valley of the shadow and i keep a blow dryer right close so I can dry without touching .

Thank you for this… I wish Americans would drop the arrogant attitudes and start saving the planet.

I poop several times day unfortunately due to IBD :( so that one tiny box of tissues wouldn't last me more than one day lol. I'd probably be better off with the bamboo towels.

I use the bidet and not dry it works great no waste just water feels great

Gosh, where can I get one of those tshirts?
