Bidet users, how do you dry your ass afterward? - eviltoast

I’m new to the bidet scene, and this one has me slightly confounded. Should I install a new towel rack next to the toilet? Should my wife and I share the towel? Do you wipe first? There are so many unanswered questions in the ways of bidet-ing!

    if you have to wipe with toilet paper anyway, doesn’t that defeat the purpose of having a bidet?

    No. The purpose of the bidet is to properly clean your posterior which cannot be achieved with toilet paper alone. Also the amount of toilet paper needed to dry is lower than the amount needed to ‘clean’

      My response is always “if you get shit on your hand, do you just rub it with some paper and call it a day?” Usually people get it at that point.

        No such thing as a flushable wipes. It’s just defective marketing. Plus there is no need to use one after the bidet. Toilet paper is perfectly fine to dry.

          yeah they definitely need to improve degradation time, but there absolutely is reason to use them instead of TP.

          I don’t use all the time but tried them during recovery based on the recommendation of the surgeon that removed my hemorrhoids.

          significantly easier on the healing bum than tp was, bidet gets most of it but you’re not 100% clean every time.

          (I don’t think I’ve ever not had to wipe a time or two even after lots of movement and higher pressure on bidet. wipes clean better than tp, and bidet just doesn’t get everything unless you’re one of those lucky people that wouldn’t use much tp anyway)

            I’m not saying they aren’t better, what I’m saying is they aren’t flushable. If they don’t clog up your system, they fuck up your septic tank, or the city system.

            If you have legitimate medical reason to use them, knock yourself out, but otherwise they should be avoided. And stop calling them flushable because they aren’t. They’re just wipes.
