Why aren’t baby wipers our default?

        I must be using it wrong. It just makes my butt wet, not really easier to wipe.

          Hard to say. I like to lean forward and to the side, lifting one butt cheek off the seat and then I do sploosh with relatively much pressure.

          One mistake I’ve made at first, is to be a bit overzealous with the wiping. In order to be clean, you only need the outside of the sphincter to be clean. Trying to clean beyond there is rather pointless, as that’s the inside of your rectum, where your body literally stores shit.
          But with toilet paper, you can obviously reach beyond that, which will return a stained toilet paper and make it look like you weren’t clean yet.

          Naw buddy it’s like an attachment onto your existing toilet. You can even get one with hot water for just a lil more if your toilet is close enough to the hot water inlet to the sink.

            Some even do instant hot water without needing to be connected to the hot water line!

              To be fair, I honestly don’t know the size of your toilet, but I would be rather surprised if it’s such a nonstandardized size that you couldn’t find a cheap bidet to put on there.

              That said, you seem opposed to the very concept of being able to mount a bidet so I think that’s your biggest barrier to a cleaner anus.

              You really need to investigate what people are telling you before you tell them they are wrong.

              Mine goes under the toilet seat (space that’s already being used) and connects to the tank by a 1/2" metal hose.

              Took me 10 minutes to install. $35 on Amazon.

          It just goes on your toilet seat, it doesn’t require much except connecting hoses.

        I don’t get this, I’ve used bidets, it results in a wet ass that I need to dry off with toilet paper which sometimes still shows poop

          I guess keep wiping then. About a month since I installed our bidet and the only time I used paper after about the first week of checking, is at work. And yeah, my asshole is wet after I spray, but it is not like there is water pouring out of it or anything.
