    I started my bidet life with those cheap ones that only spray regular water. It's honestly all you really need.

    And where have you ended up on your journey? What are nice features to have? Any good brands?

    TOTO is the most gentle and most reliable. I bought mine in Japan 15 years ago and it's still working like it was new.

    The 2 extra features outside of the norm is the heated seat and what I call the constipation spray. It's a narrow spray that sprays warm water up your butt and helps get the poop out. Haha.

    I'll never go back, but all interested souls should be made aware of the bidet-user's curse: Using bathrooms that don't have them becomes a harrowing experience

    Bro, buy a portable travel bidet. The downside of those portable bidet is the water volume that you're used to is significantly less. So sometimes I'll bring a empty water bottle to refill after I deplete the water reservoir.

    thank the rules i've never had to do this.

    if you ever get in such an emergency, best to use just another tissue, or a towel, and if all that isn't there, sock i guess?

    As a South East Asian, we clean our ass with water and soap. The first time I pooped outside of home was when I was a toddler during school. The restroom next to my classroom had a tap water and a bucket with "dipper" (according to translation, that's what it's called). We would wash our nethers by scooping the water with "dipper" from the bucket and then clean our hole with soap. It was awkward doing it outside of home, and I have mentally trained my mind to avoid pooping outside of home. Weirdly enough, it worked because I only feel that "terrible need" when at home. A dad's friend also has the same mindset as me. While driving us home, my friend told his dad there are public toilets he could use if he really needs it badly. The dad said he doesn't want to poop outside the house.

    The second and last time I pooped outside of home was years ago as an adult at work. Emigrating to Europe, I had to use toilet tissue, but I felt dirty not cleaning my asshole with water and soap. Good thing it was near the end of my shift at that time and went home shortly.

    For what's worth, I was born and raised in a country where toilet paper is usually all you have to work with and even I don't think that's very hygienic.

    And then it bobs on top of the surface of the water like the saddest, most persistent log you’ve ever seen, until you drown it with piss some hours later. Terrible for your pipes. Do not recommend

    first time i failed my driving test I went to the mall, to a massive shite, and there's was no tp, you can guess where the "Failed" paper ended up in.

    As a man, I have my TP usage measured out. 2 sheets (folded) per wipe. Repeat as necessary.

    Wife moves in. TP roll eaten by unknown creatures on a daily basis.

    Eh, maybe. In my many years on this planet I have noticed that women really do, on average, use a fuck ton of toilet paper. Even more anecdotally, when I got divorced my toilet paper use decreased by 90%.

    Women use TP every time they pee, it's not just pooping. This particular thread of comments reads like an episode of the Honeymooners.

    I do too though. I'm not a barbarian that can live with piss dribble in my pants

    Just get a bidet like a civilized person. Tp is gross and wipes (the only actual way to clean the shit off your ass instead of just painting a thin tissue brown) are horrible.

    I also wouldn't be proud of how little tp your dry shits take, you just kinda sound dehydrated.

    I like this artist's style. Reminds me a lot of Kohta Hirano.
