"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.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Pff If it it's extra funky I just spread my cheecks and do a good-morning in the shower

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.

Not really. Bathing in the 17th century was more common than a lot of people realize. Check this link out for a historian that argues this in an article: https://frockflicks.com/the-gross-18th-century/

Meanwhile 1000 generations of Indians stare at you disgusted by your over reliance on technology.

Sorry what's the joke here? Big parts of India has issues with sanitation

[–] SoonaPaana@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sorry! Didnt mean to offend! Indians typically use their hands to wipe their butts with water. I think it is cleaner and uses less water relatively. The joke I intended to make was that India has been using water to wash themselves for several years whereas the west needed the invention of a bidet to force the change.

Its almost like westerners came up with the germ theory of disease tranamission and adjusted their sanitation methods to prevent it.

"Technology" in this instance is "little nozzle pointed at bum" 🙃

As someone that had a fancy bidet and returned it my main selling point was "reduce tp" during covid. It just didn't work with its fan blowing, I still had to use tp to dry my ass afterwards ans to thr people that say, "just use a towel" like wtf then you have a shit ass stinking towel next to you in the bathroom. Especially so since I wash my towels after a use. Point is the heated swat is goated, the wet ass and weat fan dry function is no and they aren't for me. I will scape my ass with tp will Sahara dry.

The point of bidet is to clean your butthole, not reducing tp use. Even so, wipe away water is significantly easier and less tp use than wipe away any trace of poop.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Well yeah, you have to pat dry. But you still get cleaner and use way less tp (this may vary on how much fiber you have in your diet).

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You wash your towels after a single use? Just so we're clear, you're supposed to wash yourself before you use the towel... they shouldn't be that dirty... right?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah I don't think they fully understand the steps to using a bidet if they're worried about towels covered in shit...

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Your towel is still going to have shit germs on it, you’re just not going to see them.

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Just like your toothbrush and pretty much everything else
This stuff is everywhere...

But yeah, shit stained towels aren't the way to go. And I sometimes don't trust how clean I think I am...
