Serious question: you use it instead of wiping, not in addition to? I have a hard time imagining the bidet would be more sanitary without the use of mechanical force (wiping) and/or soap. Is it really just a jet of water that is supposed to remove any residue, regardless of consistency?
sounds like I can do the same with an extended showerhead massager which is what I do at my apartment - then I don’t have to worry about using TP for it even. And my asshole is actually clean after.
Yeah, I feel like I get this done in the shower just fine without needing to buy extra equipment and I don’t have to worry about getting a UTI if I don’t get the aim right apparently.
The water jet is the mechanical force. But unlike wiping, it doesn’t smear the shit all over your ass hair and rub it into your skin pores. It just liquifies it so that it gets rinsed away.
YMMV but personally it makes everything 1-2 wipes to ‘verify’/dry. Got one in 2020 to lessen TP usage, which it does really well. I think you’re underestimating how strong the stream is (which is variable/controllable) and overestimating how ‘stuck on’ any residue is. Works kinda like a pressure washer where you can’t move/angle the washer (on the affordable ones) so you move the thing being washed for full ‘coverage’.
Regardless, if I got muck on my hands would rather rinse them in water than just wipe them off with a paper towel.
I use it in addition to. My culture has shower style bidets and I have no idea how “normal” bidets are supposed to work without getting your hands in there

You wipe too. Just- much less. Bidet cleans all of the shit away, toilet paper wipes off the excess water.

That’s exactly how many bidets are designed too. Essentially, a hand-held shower-head.
Mine is built into the toilet (or, well, is permanently mounted to it). Just twice the knob, and automatic water where it needs to go.

Assuming you shower after every poop!
well obviously I can’t do that in a public restroom but outside of that - yeah I’ve got it covered with using a shower head.

Thanks for the explanation and I hate muck ony hands so that analogy also helps.
Have you ever used a pressure washer before?
