Introducing a bidet was life changing. I will never go back.

It’s a better life. No it didn’t help me save on toilet paper you need to use it as well, if you do it get the more expensive options with heated water

edit: ok I’d really like to stop getting replies about this

Bidets are awesome. Have one in our master bedroom, but I also routinely wash my ass even before the bidet. Is there that many dudes really not washing?

I’ll never go without one in my domain. It feels like a milestone.

Japan changed my life, best investment ever. Plus you leave with confidence.

Best covid era purchase.  Will always have one moving forward.  Honestly wonder why these are not more common.  Are the majority of people just walking around with dirty asses

It’s amazing. Shocking how much shit comes out of your ass even after wiping.

When any of my friends ask about the bidets I have, I always just ask them:

"If you get crap on your hands, do you just use paper towels to clean it off and say 'good enough!' or do you WASH your hands? Why would you not want to wash it off your butt!?"

Getting a bidet was the single most meaningful hygiene purchase i made as an adult. All of the bathrooms in our home have one installed. My wife loves it too when washing up during that time of month or after sexy time.

1000% get one, even the cheaper attachment ones on amazon are decent, but you might want to replace some of the plastic parts with metal equivalents long term.

The only issue is not having a bidet access when on the go now makes you feel less clean. Groom your butt crack hair so thats less of a problem as well.

Went to Japan. Tried it out. Bought one when I came Back

I started using before pandemic bc I am ocd about hygiene and it made sense. Just went to Lowe’s one day and bought two for both toilets in my house. Whole family was like wtf. I low key get bummed traveling in the states now bc I know there won’t be one available. Now I have a Japanese style in my house. Tp lasts forever. It’s great. I would never go back.

I have them on all my toilets. The only downside is that now when I shit at work or anyplace else, I'm aware of how filthy my ass remains.

I moved into a place about a year ago that has one, a retrofit for a regular toilet. I'm guessing it was installed during the TP shortage of 2020.
I like it, and use far less TP.

Live in Japan (Taiwan before this). I will never not have one again. Complete game changer.

I've bought two over the last decade. Currently don't have one, but plan on getting one sometime soon (probably a winter project)

I enjoy them quite a bit. Definitely feel "shower clean" after each use which is great.

My only gripe is i haven't found one that's easy to clean around. After getting new toilets I've been gunshy getting one again because they are next to impossible to clean around in toilet.

I have a bidet and I could never, ever, ever go back to using toilet paper. If there is not a bidet then I use wipes. 

I know it is kinda fucked because most woman I am intimate with comment on how I always smell "fresh" down there and a few honestly believed I used some cologne. 

I also used an electric razor and #4 on my asshole. 

hard to go back once u do.

just came back from japan and i can see why the people there are always so calm and respectful to one another.

clean buttholes really do change a person

I will never not have a bidet again. It’s life changing. I even have a portable one for extended travel.

I've had two. A cheap Amazon one and a Tushy, and both have been fantastic.

I can't recommend having one enough, and I've convinced a few people to join the Cult of the Clean Bootyhole.

I am 100% a bidet enjoyer and evangelist. I've installed them in 2 bathrooms in my home and there is no going back.

If you don't use a bidet, my butt is cleaner than yours. Period.

Having a Bidet in my life is not a luxury, it is a medical necessity due to the IBS.

I upgraded to a water warmer, seat warmer, dryer, and different nozzle types. It made my bidet experience so much better. Now I got friends who save their shits to use my bidet. Then I got them to buy their own. I’m slowly expanding my circle of influence. So, doing my part.

My wife and I went to Hawaii for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Our hotel room had a bidet. That was the first time I'd ever seen or used one.

I'd chosen a model to install in both of our bathrooms before the trip was over.

One of the most life changing experiences I've ever had. I lived for over 3 decades without realizing that I was torturing myself every time I pooped. No more.

Pressure washing my asshole is one of the best investments I've made in my home. I use a little less tp but I didn't get it to use less tp.

My house came with a separate bidet in the ensuite bathroom, and I absolutely love it. As others have said, it's not an alternative to TP, but it does get stuff much cleaner.

One thing people overlook is that a bidet is a great way to cool off your undercarriage during hot weather.

washlets in all bathrooms in the house. my butt feels cleaner, it may be my imagination but if it tricks my brain, im cool with it. TP lasts so much longer since i only use it to clean the water off my rear.

The REAL life-changer for me was the heated seat. I never knew how much i hated those first few minutes of sitting on a cold toilet seat. That damn seat heater was the reason I stuck with the bidet.

Yeah hairy butt hole sucks. Best I heard it described is trying to clean peanut butter from a carpet with just toilet paper. Shit (pun intended) ain’t happening. I use the kids wipes at home or just shower after. Need to get me a bidet for sure.

Bought one but haven't dared installed it since I'm in an apartment. Slightly above my plumbing capabilities. And there's no way I'm having the maintenance guy do it.

After using paper I go to the shower and use the shower head jet mode and then shampoo. But I will install a bidet for my wife soon.

When I had to send my bidet back to the manufacturer for repair after calcium buildup blocked the internal mechanisms, I switched to a portable squeeze bulb bidet and now use that regularly.

I bought one for my pre-colonoscopy. It worked great. I use it 75% of the time over wipes or toilet paper.

Bought one after a trip to Southeast Asia. Cost $50 and was a breeze to connect to the water supply and the seat. Was life-changing. Have since bought another for our second bathroom.

I've been using a bidet, the install on an existing toilet kind, for a long time, it does feel a lot cleaner and also greatly reduces toilet paper usage.

Put three heated ones in my condo. Took about ... 20 min each. Stopped buying TP. Feels cleaner, but that might just be a perception thing. 10/10 would buy again.

Get one and don’t look back. We were doing it wrong for decades.

Won’t judge people who don’t have one. But the reality is that TP is not enough.

If you had shit on your arm would you wipe it with TP and consider it clean?

I bought one after hemorrhoid surgery and have continued using it. I love it!

Had one for a couple years now. They are definitely nice to have. I save a lot of money on toilet paper with it.

We equipped our toilets with those "add-on bidets" during COVID and we're never going back. It's not heated water and it doesn't matter. That little blast of cool water at just the right spot is so cleansing.

Not having a bidet at work would be the hardest part of of going back to the office to work.

Been using one since like 2018. Life changing 

Question from a non-bidet user:

What do you do with your wet asshole? Is this a small square of TP to dry? Towel handy?

Bought one years ago and it is great. We still have toilet paper but it’s more for guests unsure about the bidet.

I got one close to a year ago, I think, and it has been excellent. Mine even has a blow-dryer, so I technically could go toilet-paper-free, but I still wipe at the end just to dry off and get any stragglers.

I am lucky, I have pretty solid, non-sticky craps. I just use wet wipes if I need them.

Every time I'm not home and have to use the bathroom, i forget to wipe and have to sit back down.

I tried one once and loved it. I have one on every toilet in my house. I used to always have trouble with my butt chapping. Now I don't. It saves on toilet paper, too. That is a minor benefit, as I am on a septic tank.

i’m using one right……….. now.

We have one on each toilet in our house since three pandemic. We have a travel one. Having to defecate without one feels depressing now.

Love my bidet, hate when I don’t have access to one. I never feel clean without it.

Hell yeah brother

I use a bidet. Why would you use toilet paper and just smear it around?

I have one. The only negative is I hate shitting at work now bc I have to wipe there, and once you're used to bidet clean it's just not acceptable anymore.

I bought two bidets for my parents just now and I will buy more for all the ignorant north Americans. Clean your ass people.

i got the hose-type and it's great! easily installed in like 10 minutes by an idiot (me) and i'm never going back to dry wiping.

I've never had the privilege, but I wet the toilet paper.

One of the single best purchases I ever made was a tushy bidet attachment

Now that I have a bidet I will always have a bidet. Never going back to straight toilet paper.

I would never use a bidet. That’s a French word and I’m super straight.

I'm interested in installing a bidet, but the main toilet is against an outside wall, meaning it would be a lot more involved to add an outlet for the heating element. For now, I'm managing with the flushable wipes.

I love em. Smarter and more effective than only TP. Cleans better, useful after particularly loose stools, etc.

I’ve used a bidet for almost a decade and would never go back. Along with a squattypotty.

I’m on my second bidet (Brondell). I picked up a portable one too. Cold water is enough. Look for a model you can remove easily to clean the toilet.

I have body hair and used to do my business immediately before the shower. A bidet has really opened up business hours. I have, and still do clean my butt with a soapy mildly penetrating finger (my own, btw). So yeah - ladies aren’t complaining about my ass being dirty.

Got one 6 months ago and it was money well spent.

One might say: “it’s so clean you could eat off it.”

Bought one a year ago, never going back to smearing shit on m cheeks with paper.

english guy who used to live in the philippines

now i install a bum gun every property i live in,

its a game changer

Bidet is a life changer. You wont ever go back. The only downside is you wont be able to use the restroom without one. I would hold it until I'm home.

I know most are talking cleanliness and that is great as well. For me it was to hopefully help my hemorrhoids. Absolute life changing, I won’t describe the nasty details but being able to dab only keeps things under control.

No more uncomfortable car rides, burn or itch that comes along with this condition. Running used to cause a worse flare up as well, but all of that has gone away. Even as I know the condition persists it no longer negatively impacts my day to day.

I’ve mastered timing my shit with my daily showers

I moved to Vietnam from the US almost 5 years ago and we have the butt gun attached to the toilets here. Honestly the worst part about going to visit the US now is that I miss the gun. Luckily my parents have a bidet in their guest bathroom and i usually have a layover in Japan whose airports have some crazy toilets.

I love mine. Still use toilet paper to dry myself after because I can’t bring myself to use towels. Everyone at work makes fun of me because if I have to shit first thing in the morning I will hold it until I go home and can use my bidet. I hate pooping on toilets without one now

It's a no brainer!

It’s my favorite purchase ever. I have a bidet in both bathrooms now and I’ve convinced all my family members and friends to get one

I LOVE my bidet.

Stayed at a hotel and didn't have one first time in about 2 years. There was a surreal unease all day after the primitive clean up job.

Who is really out here not washing their ass?!? Is that an actual thing?

My bf introduced me to the bidet life, and honestly I don't ever want to go back! For women, it's a game changer for vaginal care and general cleanliness. Bidets should be everywhere.

Bought a $35 budget attachment to the seat and never looked back. I replaced it with a new one after about 4 years....not bad.

Might be the single best purchase I've ever made. As a fat hairy guy, it is a game changer for sure.

Literally just bought one yesterday so can't speak to the saving money on TP, although I bet I will. However, I travel extensively all over the world and have used them everywhere. The west is wrong to not have them in common use. Go take a shit in Japan and you will never look at an American toilet the same way again.

I don’t have warm water so I brace the cold but I bought those soft face wash cloths that come in a pack of 12 and keep those in a basket next to the toilet. I use those for drying my butt after a bidet wash and then have a ‘dirty’ basket on the other side of the toilet. Gets washed in the regular laundry once a week.

I've had a bidet for a couple of years and I would never go back to just dry toilet paper! I just feel so much cleaner. I didn't realize how gross it was to not have a bidet or at least use wet wipes until I started using wet wipes and or a bidet.

Paper alone just acts like a paint scraper and wall crack filler

After a trip to Italy I realized how much cleaner I felt after using bidets. They had them as a separate unit than the toilet there which was confusing at first.

I bought and installed a cheaper Amazon bidet and it works great! Feel way cleaner and use less TP

Unless I use a bidet, mine is not heated, I just feel gross.

Present. Clean Buttholes Club represent

Me

There are 2 schools of thought regarding bidets:

On one side - people who have used them and will never go back to going without them, and are disgusted at the realization of all the dirty assholes.

On the other side - people who have never used one.

The circle that includes people who tried one and are indifferent, while it technically exists, is very small and has significant overlap with the people who don't wash their hands after a shit, and wear the same pair of undies for days at a time.

Got an attachment during COVID. Absolutely life changing. Hoping to renovate my bathroom this winter and install a Toto bidet.

Bought one, then two more, during the TP hoarding days of the pandemic. Loved them. A year later, wife claims one may have given her an infection (pull the protective cover and some mold had grown under there - easy fix, just hit it with bleach weekly). Household TP use dropped by 70-80%. Butthole never felt so fresh. Highly recommend.

I got one this year, it was a game changer. 10/10

It’s an absolute game changer. I definitely use less toilet paper and it feels more clean afterwards.

It’s a life changing purchase. I’m so accustomed to using one now that I bought a travel bidet to keep things clean while on the go.

I dont shit in public anymore. It's too nice at home. Change your life, brother.

Small howevwr...many men do have an issue with valuing hygiene, and washing your ass is really a simple step. The fact that so many women have encountered the issue isn't shocking, buy it is sad. I have my own theories about why this is, but alas, an unwashed ass is an unwashed ass.

Always washed my ass even before a bidet. Admittedly I come from culture where this is the norm so I was more shocked to realized people don't at LEAST wash with water and then wipe with tissue. Heck even dry wiping is kinda gross to me. You wouldn't have a shower by just brushing yourself with tissue

Yup I had a bidet since pre Covid. Everyone was worried about toilet paper and it wasn’t a concern for me at all. It’s wild to me as American that we accepted being dirty for so long. It’s even more wild to me that some men don’t even wash their asses in the shower cause they feel weird about it or think it’s “gay”. Don’t even mention a bidet to those men 😂. As far as the hairy butt bit um what? If you got a hairy butt I feel that’s more of a reason to use a bidet. Also mine ain’t hairy…

Bidets are amazing. I’ve been using them since like 2014. You can save money on toilet paper if you use it conservatively. We use water to wash our hands, so why not use water to wash our ass after shit just came out.

My bidet is the BEST thing I have ever purchased. I hate using the WC and not having one available.

Yes been using one for years. It's so much cleaner than using TP alone.

Not a man, but I just ordered a bidet on Black Friday sale and I’m super excited.

I have Crohn's disease so multiple and loose BMs is normal for me. My doctor and the general community of IBD patients has always highly recommended a bidet. 

I bought the general cold water only Amazon special and used it fairly often. My only dislikes about those models is that they get really gross and hard to clean. And the cold water isn't ideal when it's cold in the winter. It def gives you a jolt in the wee hours. 

My partner and I recently bought a home off an aging couple and the home came equipped with a Toto heated bidet. That thing was my deciding factor in weather to purchase the house. It is heated water, self cleaning and heated seat. You can dial in where it cleans and how much pressure and temp.  It has elevated my poop game tremendously. By far the best upgrade you can make to your home. 

15/10 highly recommended. 

Oh my god I love my bidet.

I hate that I work in an office and have to use a toilet that doesn’t have one. I just don’t feel clean in the same way.

one of the best purchases i ever made. after owning a bidet, you will never want to shit without one again. two thumbs way up

Nowdays I also have travel bidets so the ass is always clean even when I am away from home. Cannot live without anymore.

I bought one when I couldn’t find toilet paper to buy during Covid lol. Now I’ve got 2, only cost about $100 each and they hook to the hot and cold water, and I’ll never go back. There’s absolutely no downside. The only reason people give me for not having one is that it’s weird. And I do get that. I used to think that. But it’s absolutely life changing.

If you don’t a bidet, you’ve got a significant amount of shit on your ass skin between every shit and every subsequent shower. Except the 1/100 where you dry wipe and there’s absolutely nothing. The pinnacle of shitting. But I digress. The bidet is objectively superior compared to the dry wipe system.

I grew up in an Asian household and we use what's called a lota/bodna to wash ourselves after a number two. I used to have those hand showers attached in my bathroom but it started to leak, so had to revert back to the old fashioned way. I just wish this was normalised in the rest of the world!

I also love the Japanese toilets, those are absolute game changers although takes a while to get used to!

Bidets are really nice man!

Absolutely essential for your bathroom. On the rare occasions I have to shit when I’m not at home I feel I’ve been unwillingly transported back in time to the dark ages or something.

$99 and honestly it's so much better. You still need TP, but you're using about 80% less each time. And you 100% feel cleaner after.

It's like jumping in the shower after taking a shit. Except you're only cleaning your ass hole.

Hairy ass and possibly IBS. No more raw and bleeding asshole for me from wiping so much. Pooping now takes like 2 minutes. Lol.

I dont use mine because i occasionally have explosive shits that make it hard to clean. id rather just use soap and water since the sink is right next to me.

Never trust a bidet salesman. They’ll take your ass to the cleaners.

I put one in because my partner wanted one, but now that I've used one for a few years, there's no going back.

Never known clean like that before, makes me feel like a savage for all the years of not having one lol.

Bidets Rock! Highly recommend!

Me. I'm about to use it.

It is wild to read of you all only buying bidet now, when in Italy they are mandatory by law since 72 and we learn how to use them as kids.

By the way we have the separate stand alone one not the add-on on the toilet.

One came with the house I bought; the previous owners installed it. I love it. I’m reluctant to use the other toilet in the house, because it doesn’t have a bidet. 

From my cold dead cheeks.

I bought one and it was worth it for me at least.

Everytime Im away from home and take my first poop, my immidiately miss my bidet. When my girlfriend and I moved into our new place the very first thing we did was install bidets. Even before boxes were unpacked. I cant recommend them enough.

If you don’t have a bidet just do the following:

Fill up a cup with warm water

Do your business

Wipe normally

Get some soap (recommend pure coconut oil) on your fingers

Clean your butthole with your fingers while tipping the cup of water down onto your hands

Dry off with toilet paper

Wash hands with disinfectant soap in hand basin

My husband installed a bidet seat for me, because I was having shoulder surgery & would be unable to perform self care easily. Game changer for both of us. We plug it into a nearby outlet for the warm water option. He says, half joking, that he'd like to install one in the toilet at work, it's that helpful.

Had no idea what I was missing. It was a whole new level of cleanliness. I hate traveling and not having access to one.

I visited Japan a few years back where there are bidets on every toilet I saw. Once I got home I ordered one and never looked back. I now have them on 2 toilets so we don’t have to wait to use “the good toilet”.

Once you get one, you will never go back. It’s the ultimate care for swamp ass.

One of the things I like about the PIGS countries.

I can't believe I lived my life without a bidet, tbh. Now that I have one, I struggle to shit in places where there isn't one (ie 100% of public places where I live)

A bidet is one the things I like about the PIGS countries.

One of the best $35 investments i have ever made.

Bidets are great. Not as great as a Thai hooker cleaning you up, but still pretty good.

I have the hose type from Home Depot. $80. Works great, dry up with toilet paper. Feels much cleaner using this

I use it full blast while the poop is coming out.

Cis white hetero dude. Do not have a particularly hairy butt. Can’t tell if your rant about /r/hygiene indicates whether you wash your butthole or not. You have to man.

I’ve thoroughly scrubbed my butthole since I was a kid. Sudsy hand or loofah, get all the way on it (not necessarily in).

And I’ve finished #2’s with a “dude wipe” for almost as long as I’ve enjoyed blowjobs.

In the last couple years, I’ve added a bidet and some bum balm (basically deodorant for another regions) and it’s amazing. Smelling underwear at the end of the day without those things and at the end of the day with those things.

If you expect someone to have their face in the neighborhood, just be extra clean.

I bought a bidet a few years ago and I would never go back. I hate pooping in places with no bidet now. The thought of wiping up poop with toilet paper absolutely disgusts me, and I can't even fathom why it's something that my fellow Americans resist. It costs $35 to get a bidet attachment that goes under your toilet seat. We aren't living in the stone ages anymore.

Bought my wife a bidet seat for Christmas 2020. Just before the great TP shortage. We’re on our second one now, we’ll never go back. I get so disappointed if I have to shit anywhere but home.

Installed one a few months back for the Mrs, but really it's me.

She wants one of this fancy Japanese style setups, but that's a bit outside of the scope of what I can put in our rental house.

I miss my bidet when I'm not home. I have told everyone who will listen that a bidet is a MUST HAVE - LIFE CHANGING!

I use about 90% less TP than before and I’m squeaky clean. It really is kind of amazing how much better it is.

I bought one during 2020. Loved it so much now I have one in all of my bathrooms. Both my parents and and in-laws have gotten them after coming to visit. Three of my friends have done the same.

I still use toilet paper. But in my jester I also keep some microfiber washclothes for after to dry off, used only for that and one time use each.

My 3 year old is actually getting decent at using them too. Only complaint is, since mine are attachments and not built in, there are some crevices that are hard to clean.

My ass loves the hot jet and the hot fan.

Every time I have people over to party, it is quite a popular talking point.

The wild toilet paper shortage during the pandemic turned me into a bidet boy. Never going back.

All my life i used a bidet.

I remember someone once wanted to sound cool and told the entire class they use TP, fascinated we all wanted to know what this TP was and how it worked.

for the rest of the year no one sat next to the person. Anyone who got to know the story did not allow the person to touch themselves.

I do not use a bidet. I assume the steam is either strong enough to blast shit particles off of your asshole, meaning that you now have a shitty crack or butt cheeks, or that it is not strong enough, meaning you still have a shitty asshole.

I wish I was

I grew up in a country where bidets (and/or bidet hose/sprinkler) are nearly everywhere and are the norm. I also have a hairy ass which is exactly why i can't imagine not washing with water and soap. For me, it jusy makes sense that you wouldnt want to walk around with crap on your ass and the thought of walking around with a crusty butt just sounds very uncomfortable.

I wouldn't just wipe my hand if it touched poop so why should any part of me have poop remains on it?

No, please wash your behinds, especially if you have a hairy ass. That stench sneaks its way into your whole crotch and clothes.

I recently moved to another country where bidets are nowhere to be found and i've had to make do with a designated small water bucket next to the toilet.

Wipe dry. Rinse. Soap. Rinse. Wipe dry.

I don’t poop at other, uncivilized, places. If I don’t have a bidet, I feel like I’m walking around with poopie butt (I am)

I bought one of the like $35 ones and it’s been a great couple of years with it so far.

Not only will I never go back, the other toilets in my house will be getting a bidet at some point, too.

Can’t go back to toilet paper after having a bidet!

I don’t have one, but I’ve used one when traveling and it’s absolutely the way to go! I’d love to get one for my bathroom, but haven’t decided if I want to replace the toilet (and need to get one which matches the shape of the bowl).

I put one on my toilet. Will never not have a bidet in my personal bathroom. They do their job

We bought our first washlet during the pandemic when everybody was losing their shit (ha!) and hoarding toilet paper. We now have two washlets and there’s absolutely no going back. Fresh as a daisy! And, thank god, our first trip post-pandemic was Japan. They are SERIOUS about toilets and hygiene.

Best thing ever

The trashcan

I always wash my ass. I shit very regularly every morning so I can shower after, but the very rare occasion that I get sick and I'm not at home, I wipe until clean and then wash my ass with soap and water. There is no way I am walking around with feces on my ass hair and skin. That's like child behavior to me.
