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.

      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.

        Because America is an easy target. Half the country demonstrated beyond doubt that they’re too stupid to be in charge of a pet rock. We’re low hanging fruit because of that. I can’t say I disagree either.

            They’re probably just overall frustrated with the country. Somehow though “stupid politics” means go ahead and insult and generalize the people for random and inaccurate things like not using a bidet.

              I certainly understand being frustrated with the US. I am. It’s a piece of shit politically. But yeah it’s a weird thing to just randomly accuse any given thing you don’t like of being american. Strictly speaking, it’s bigotry. But further, it’s just stupid.

            We’re talking about open anus wounds. The current American government is especially relevant, since the sitting president is an open anus wound gifted with the ability to speak.

        China just has a hole in the ground. Toilet paper is optional.

          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.

      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.

          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 😞.

            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.
