    Friendly reminder, wiping your arse with dry paper is not sufficient to clean it following a dump run.

    A bidet (european style) is best.

    no itchy/smelly bumhole ever again

      Bidet crew checking in.

      Mines got hot water. I don’t mean that it’s got a pipe for hot water, and you have to wait forever for it to warm up. I mean it’s got a water heater built in. And a heated seat. And a hot air blower… dryer? Butt hair dryer? It’s nice, especially in the winter.

      Clean your butts, people

        I’ve got a cheaper, tap-cold only version (mainly because that’s the easiest to install without running new plumbing or electrical in that particular location). Honestly the cold water isn’t so bad. It can even numb things up if you’ve been dehydrated and launched a particularly stressful cannonball.

          Having tried simple bidets in both warm, cold, and neutral-ish climates, I find that cold water bidets seem to stiffen the poo bits and make it hard to actually get them off your butt esp since they stick to the hairs. You and I might be talking about different levels of cold, though.

          The vivohome with knob, not remote.

          Pressure is great, too much actually, depending.

          I got it because it was the cheapest one with all the features, and in fact is even cheaper now than when I bought it.

          It’s been going strong for 3 and a half years now

      A shower with soap is best, preferably after a different method. But whatever it’s your house, you can shit direct to shower if you like.

      If you got poop on you anywhere else. Dry wiping it would not be sufficient. Rinsing it off and patting it dry would not be sufficient. You would wash with soap.

      That said, I have a bidet I use some of the time and plain old TP the rest of the time.

      For some reason I am offended that you used a / between itchy and smelly implying that it will be both.

      I use a portable bidet. It is a rubber squeeze bottle. I use it to wash my asshole and a little toilet paper to dry.

      The thing paid for itself many times over in toilet paper saved.

        I like the idea of a bidet anywhere I go, as I feel like a literal disgusting caveman when I can’t use one.

        But I feel like a portable one used in a public restroom would make me want to deep clean it every time I use it, and you kind of can’t in public. Also what’s it like to sneak it into a restroom discretely?

          It is literally a small bottle with a folding spigot thingie. I do clean mine with soap and water every once in a while, but it is kinda hard to get dirty.

      A proper diet would also help. Failing that, I just take a shower right after, as you put it, a dump run.

      i uh, i don’t think it’s normal to have an itchy and smelly bumhole, regardless of how you wipe

      If you can’t afford one, or rent, or wander around, travel bidets are about $20-$30 and are a water bottle with a hook-shaped wand-spout and an air valve.

      My proctologist has a personal vendetta against wiping, and I messed up my piles from ages of wiping too hard. Bidet and dab to dry.
