      Most people in the states are afraid of them. Maybe they feel demasculated or are brain washed by big TP. I don’t know. It took me about 30 years to buy one and i must say it is life changing.

        I do not understand the bizarre attachment some people have to smearing shit around their asshole with dry paper. You wouldn’t clean your hands of shit with dry paper, this is why wet wipes were invented; a bidet is a wet wipe that you never run out of and doesn’t clog your goddamn sewage system. More to the point, you can get a heated seat, with heated water, and a fan to dry your ass afterwards; all for just a couple hundred bucks. This sounds like a lot until you realize the amount of toilet paper you no longer need to buy every month, it pays for itself quickly. You can install it in an afternoon, and shit in absolute luxury that kings of yore could have only dreamed of every day for the rest of your life.

        Or you can keep smearing shit around your asshole with dry tissue paper.

          You’re preaching to the choir here. I wanted to try one for years before I bought mine but absolutely no one around me uses it. Once I bought it, I realized I’ve been missing out for decades.

          I don’t suggest an electric one. I bought a vovo electric one. It overheated, fried the circuit board, and started spewing water non stop in the toilet. Support said it’s not their problem and to pound sand. I bought a simple knob controlled one and have had zero complaints, even in the winter with cold water.

        Is this a regional thing? Most people I know in the USA are either enthusiastic about the product or at least intrigued by the concept.

          I’m not sure who you’re talking to. I live in a city and tell others they should try a bidet and I’m met with ew, no nearly everytime. I have a few friends who adopted it and love it like I did.

          I have a fancy one that heats the seat, and the water, and the air. The settings I use, it’s supposed to heat just the water, and just slightly, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a placebo. The seat gets so hot on medium that it feels like my nuts are being cooked, so off with that bullshit. Fan heating off too, unnecessary.

          It’s kinda like being eaten out. It’s odd the first couple of times but it’s not bad, you get used to it.

      While this improves the situation, it doesn’t grant you a guaranteed win every time. You make that assumption once.

      The one we have is so powerful on the top setting, it will actually shoot water up your butt, which also can trigger a round 2 situation

      I get why it’s better in so many ways. But for the topic of this particular post, it could have made things worse. As in a return trip soon after once you get moving. Whereas physically disturbing things sometimes encourages completion.

      I was about to post about the greatness of bidets. I use water to blow my shit covered butt and get right back in the game. I don’t have to wait for the whole toilet paper wipe and then you have more to shit.

      I got a tushy bidet. Easy to install. It’s tushybidet.com and not tushy.com. that’s a different website.
