    I had the urge while out the other day and had to wipe, like a peasant. Bidets should be a right in the kingdom.

      Get a little portable bidet. They’re not ideal, but it sure beats the awful toilet paper in public bathrooms.

        Wait, those exist? I might have to look into it, because I can’t install a normal bidet in my apartment (horrible Soviet era piping all over the place)

          Are you saying the water supply to the tank is non standard? That’s the only piece you need to interact with. I’ve yet to see a non standard one

              LMAO - I haven’t seen anyone do that before. Everything after the ? is for site tracking info, so you can remove it. There was a post about it sometime in the last couple weeks that gave examples and where to chop it off to not offer more tracking info.

            After the birth of my first child I ended up with a hemorrhoid. Truth be told, I was scared shitless to touch anything down there for a couple days after the trauma. They had given me a squishy bottle to rinse myself while everything recovered. Warm water from the tap was heavenly lol.

          My $35 bidet is awesome and just diverts water from the tank. It took less than 10 minutes to install: remove seat, place bidet, replace seat, unscrew tank water supply, screw in water splitting hose. You don’t even need to turn off the water, that’s how easy it is. It’s great for renters, too, because you’re not actually making any modifications, and it’s easy to remove with no trace.

          Mine’s a Luxe, but there are several like it in the same price range.

    We had them and then moved to a new place with solid metal lines going to the toilet so I couldn’t reinstall our bidets. I lived in luxury for years only to have it snatched away… Don’t take your bidet for granted people.

      Does your toilet’s water line have connectors on either side, or is it just straight from the wall to the toilet? If the latter, you really need to talk to a plumber, but the former can be solved by just getting a new hose line.

    Funny thing is during the time period of the folks dressed here…. They were dirty nasty and thought taking baths actually made you sick. These guys would have had shit encrusting there assholes in cookie cutter shapes like stars and hearts, and they would have smelled worse than a alcoholic who pissed themselves on the subway.

    “Wipers watching bidet users spray their nasty all over.” Two sides of the same coin if you ask me. The happy medium is the dry wipe followed by the wet wipe then another dry.

      It’s directed water, and goes straight into the bowl. There’s no ‘all over’ unless you’re doing it wrong.

      Also, I hope you’re not flushing those wet wipes. They lie about being biodegradable and cause fatbergs in the sewer that workers have to go down and clear.

      Do you reach down and dip the toilet paper into the water to get it wet?

        God no! lmao that’s almost as bad as that podcast guy that admitted he’d catch his own poop and gently drop it in the toilet so it doesn’t splash.

        You can get plumbing-safe wet wipes (baby wipes, basically). They work perfectly well.

          plumbing-safe wet wipes

          That’s usually a lie. But as long as it’s a rent house, it’s fine.

          There’s no such thing as flushable wet wipes. They might not clog your particular pipes but they do not break down in water. They can’t because then they wouldn’t be able to be wet. They contribute to massive clogs in the sewer systems that people have to go down and break up honestly it should be illegal to sell them

          There’s no such thing as truly flushable wipes. They’re the bane of plumbers everywhere… Actually more the bane of people having to pay the plumber bill at some stage. A quick google will confirm this.

          Think of it… To be flushable they need to disintegrate in water. But they’re wet wipes so they are always wet… Yet they’re not disintegrating. Wipes which disintegrate in water is just toilet paper.

      it’s kinda sad how close minded some folks are… so much so that they’ll convince themselves that flushing harmful waste is ok.
