why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread? - eviltoast

    I can’t get a bidet because my friend is fat and breaks the toilet seats on the regular. He of course replaces them. I’ve tried bidets at other places and it was nice but i still had to use toilet paper to clean my now wet ass so I’m really confused when people say they don’t need toilet paper anymore. I really hope they aren’t just wiping their ass on a towel or some shit.

        That involved soap a few mins prior so obviously it’s a proper clean ass my guy.

        As for the bidet it’s only water being shot at your ass with no soap. Water alone won’t kill the bacteria unless we’re shooting some hot ass 140°F+ water at your booty hole.

      A. There are people that have poop towels even without using a bidet. Blegh! B. I still use TP to dry after using my bidet but the amount used is waaaaaay less. I have a cheap bidet that just has water but there are fancy versions that include fans to air dry. I imagine that feature might eliminate TP completely.

        I spread my ass cheeks when pooping so the amount of toilet paper i use is max 4 squares at most. 2 squares for first wipe and then the 2nd wipe never has anything left but I’m paranoid and still go for the 2nd wipe haha.
