    2 months! I should try this out... if i was still single, a 12 pack would last me like 3 months if not more. Having a wife? A 36 pack lasts like 1 month... its literally a roll a day. It drives me nuts because I honestly can't understand how half of that isn't just waste (if not more).

    Yeah women in my house use over a roll per day too and I have no idea how because a roll lasts me over a month

    Two things I don’t get about bidets: How do you know you’re clean, and how do you dry off without leaving toilet paper lint everywhere?

    You know you’re clean the same way you know you’re clean in the shower. And just like the shower, some use a bit of soap when using the bidet.

    Sometimes when I have a particularly heinous dookie I’ll get in the shower afterwards, and I make sure I’m clean by actually wiping my hand across it to see if there’s still poo.

    You can do the same thing with a bidet and completely obviate the need to get in the shower.

    As I understand, those who clean with soap on the bidet are already washing the hand that washes out the ass-crack, the same way as if you’re in the shower, and now to know your ass is shower level clean.

    You can check whether you're clean with a toilet paper, if you're unsure. But I did so a few times at the beginning and never had stained toilet paper (so long as I didn't stick it inside, I guess), so I don't bother anymore.

    In particular, you also feel cleaner when you regularly use a bidet (like you're freshly showered), so that also makes it easier to feel when you aren't clean...

    I don’t get about bidets: How do you know you’re clean

    Precisely my question to those who don't use them

    You know you're clean when there's no poo on the paper.

    If my arm was constantly covered by two layers of fabric this comic might have a point.

    Also, just using a bidet is like washing your car just by hosing it off. Sometimes you need a good scrub.

    Also, the appropriate thing to do would be to use soap and water.

    I don't think anyone "just" uses a bidet. I follow up with a couple wipes, it's just more a finishing move than the whole strategy.

    Which brings me back to the problem of TP lint on a wet ass

    Never had a problem. Lint on a dry ass was always way worse.

    Our experiences are diametrically opposed

    Maybe you're pressing too hard?

    Without water I can press a lot harder.

    Once the toilet paper gets wet it shreds like, well, wet toilet paper

    It's an assisting tool, not the primary cleaning method. Blasts off bulk material and loosens up whatever's left, but you still need TP to finish the job. A lot less, but you still need some.
    As for lint, that happens regardless of the use of a bidet. Nothing changes there.

    I don’t have a problem with lint unless I have to shit while my ass is wet.

    I’ve had to shit again after having just used the bidet (still sitting down), and given how clean I feel after having washed, I don’t notice the wetness at all, because I’m going to wash again.

    That said, I hate the feeling of being barefoot on bare floor, so it’s not as though I don’t understand.

    Disagree about the assisting tool. Yes, you can still find shit, if you stick your finger up your bum hole, but you don't need to powerwash your intestines to be clean. They'll be full of shit soon after anyways. So long as the outside of the door is squeaky clean, that's as clean as you'll get.

    What sort of horrendously overpowered bidet do you have that can push through the sphincter like that?! And more importantly...

    Where can I buy one?

    I use a hand-operated travel bidet, so it's exactly as overpowered as my handshake is firm. 🙃

    More seriously, I did say not everything past the sphincter will get cleared out. But yeah, I believe it is generally possible for humans to relax their sphincter, so if you angle the beam right, that should do the trick...

    You dab, you don’t rub. And you get clean the same way you clean your back or head, you’re not looking in a mirror for those right?

    My back and head usually don’t have poo on them. If I had something grimy like that on my head or back I’d want to have a wipe or a mirror to make sure there’s none left.

    point is that you don't have to see your head to know it's clean, you can feel it when you're washing. Are you looking at your butthole after you wipe? Are you wiping down your cheeks and ballsack and schlong too? You don't need to be able to see what you are cleaning to get it clean. And afterwards you still get a check with the toilet paper.
