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.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 14 points 10 months ago (5 children)

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)

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

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

What is that ref at the end of the link?

[–] Duranie 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] StorageAware@lemmings.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I believe there is/was an extension that automatically changed the tracking parameters to that. Maybe it's that.

They're basically a squishy water bottle... Not ideal but might be worth a try?

[–] Duranie 7 points 10 months ago

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.

Just run a hose and connect one of these.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

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.

I know an adult care nurse, she told me "everyone wipes their ass differently and they're all convinced their way is the only way."

[–] Jknaraa@lemmy.ml 35 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why would you want to watch that?

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bidet users are depraved kinksters

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.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

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.

[–] rmuk@feddit.uk 25 points 10 months ago

I just do that dog thing where I hitch my legs up and use my arms to drag my ass down the hallway runner.

[–] suodrazah@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's a life changing purchase.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 30 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just wipe til the paper comes back red and you're good.

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

[–] bravesilvernest@lemmy.ml 19 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] djdadi@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Don't forget the seat / water heater! And the butt-dryer

I always feel like somebody's watching me

And I have no privacy...

can't believe david tennant's husband was the head of one of the largest and most power vampires in the world and david tennant was a vampire expert.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] jdf038@mander.xyz 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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/

"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 13 points 10 months 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.

[–] Stache_@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago (11 children)

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