Fancy cupcakes are 70% icing, really not that nice and a waste of money

          They’re are cheap bidets out there, and the are premium ones. The premium ones (like toto) are worth it, but I’d start with an inexpensive one to see if you enjoy it first.

          If you ever make your own bathroom or get your choice in the matter, go full french: get the separate porcelain fixture that has separate hot and cold valves, with the soap and towel.

          I have a Toto seat and, while it’s nice, the stream is small, leaking potential poo water down your legs onto the inner edges of the seat is… (It doesn’t seem to happen, but still), and the internal warm water tank is small.

          I used my ex’s much cheaper one a bunch when we were dating, and his was cold only but like a garden hose flow rate. It was so fucking fast and felt so much nicer. But didn’t oscillate, have aim, pressure, heated seat, dryer, or any of that stuff…

          Plus, without the soap, I don’t really want to use a towel to dry my bits off.

          So ideally, it would be temperature adjustable, PORCELAIN AND NOT PLASTIC, high flow/adjustable, be an actual bidet where you can fit your hands down there to wash yourself with soap and water, and then have a designated towel so that you eliminate more if not all tp usage.

          It’s exactly what it sounds like in this context. Think of a garden hose attachment with a trigger. You point it at the right spot, pull the trigger, and wash your bum clean.

            My mental image is in the shower… Yeah, actually, why not just use the shower with a cooter cleaner instead of a bum gun? Or… Are we talking about the same thing?

              Well a bum gun is specifically designed for the job, but yeah it’s probably the same idea as what you’re thinking of.

              You could use the shower but the shower heads are not typically installed next to the toilet.

        You just gave me a really good idea for a portable bidet actually. I normally use a little squeeze lotion bottle but it doesn’t have the required water power… Now I gotta find some of those tiny water guns we used to have as kids.

      No idea if it’s barbaric but it certainly is not as clean as it should be. At least, I think so.

        I do several rounds as well and I can tell you washing with soap and water using a bidet is much milder than wiping yourself raw with toilet paper. Washing once per round also takes the same amount of time as wiping several times until you feel “clean”.

        Have you checked with a doctor?

            Some people can’t see well from birth… doesn’t mean you can’t get glasses, or in your case go see a doctor (and get a poop infusion to fix your gut flora XD ).

            But seriously, it could be worth checking out. Maybe you have a tumor or cancer or one of those beowold smeagals or whatever

            Edit: bezoar. Seriously it could be curable and you could poop once a day. Think of the free time for activities!

              I also poop several times a day. Went and saw a doctor and he said “yup, totally common, and nothing to worry about.” Normal humans poop between 1-6x a day. Pretty crazy that there can be such a variance.

                It’s even funnier for babies. It’s normal for them to poop in between every 12 days or 12 times per day.

      Hard agree. Bidet + soap is the most hygienic way. I was actually surprised to learn that even some bidet users don’t use soap and literally just blast their ass and hope it washes away everything. You’re already halfway there, might as well use soap and be completely clean.

        Oh no, I’m not washing my ass with soap every time, but I commend you for commitment to the cause.

          Ikr, bidet yes, I don’t have one but I have used one and its better. Soap though sounds like a way to have a really dry butt.
