Yeah, why is that if you wipe to vigorously and get scratches around your butthole, it doesn’t get infected by all the poop ?

    You would stop getting butthole scratches if you started using a bidet. Gah. Americans are so gross.

      bidets are slowly catching on in America! my parents got one like seven years ago, and if I didn’t live in an apartment, I’d get one too lol. they’re rare (and there’s none in most businesses) but eventually we’ll get there

        You can get a bidet that attaches to virtually any toilet for like $30. Pretty easy to install/uninstall in most cases too. Check out Luxe bidets. I’ve had good luck with them.

            Sure – you know best for your situation. Just throwing it out there that it’s normally just an already-exposed water line that you turn off, flush the toilet, then disconnect and put the bidet inline, then reconnect. So it’s not really a high risk thing. See this video if you’re interested at all: https://youtu.be/4SDpzj6wTMQ?t=249

            I’ve installed and uninstalled these things in like 7 apartments now I think :) No one ever told me I couldn’t, but if they had I probably would have done it anyway since I’d make sure it was done right and did not leak.

          I wanted to get one of these butt my wife said no so that was the end of my dream. I use cottonelle butt wipes like a savage instead 😞.

      Explain to me how not using a bidet is an American thing? I’ve traveled to many countries and rarely seen a bidet. I know several Americans who use bidets, myself included. Just got back from Europe actually, where I witnessed zero bidets. Glad I took my portable one.

      Also why are you assuming op is American?

          Yeah I haven’t seen them in France on my trips there. I really have only seen them in the middle east and I also saw (a very old school) one in a hotel room in Italy.
