It seems like the only logical option. If someone paid me to come up with a solution to having poopy butt I couldn't come up with a better one than a hose or a bidet. You know what I wouldn't do? I WOULDN'T INVENT PAPER YOU COULD RUB ON YOUR BUTT.

Like every person that has tried a bidet on the internet describes their experience as being reborn. Anyone that tries it instantly becomes a shill for big bidet. I have not seen a single negative review for a bidet aside from maybe water shooting up your back which is more of a skill issue with aiming.

There is some debate to be had between using a bidet versus using a hose. With bidet there's no hand contact but you can't control where the water goes. Im personally more in favor of hose since you still gotta flush and handle the bathroom door so there's gonna be contact either way, but using water is CLEARLY superior to toilet paper.

Water is cheaper and guess what? IT USES LESS CLEAN WATER THAN MAKING TOILET PAPER. That's right making a single tissue of TP uses more water than just simply washing your butt. You can also shower less frequently because you don't constantly smell like shit. We are deforesting jungles just to turn them into butt napkins that do not even clean us properly, they just smear the shit all over the crack and make us smell like poop.

Also without TP there's no longer an issue with assholes flushing their used TP down the toilet and clogging the pipes, houses will no longer get TP'ed, the pandemic scalping situation wouldn't have happened etc etc. So why are people still hellbent on using this inferior method?

i really want one but my partner has no gall bladder and blah blah gross stuff basically i'm afraid it will get really dirty and poopy from backsplash. i have to clean and bleach our toliet down every 2 days.

will that add complicated nooks and tubing to clean basically?

I would say there is a little bit more to clean, but ive seen many that have "splash guards". Mine also has a cleaning setting that will wash the splash guard but its not gonna get the guard squeaky clean. Mine attaches to the seat, and also flips up for cleaning do you can wipe beneath it. I can send you a link to the one I got it you'd like, I was nervous about that too but I am so glad I got one

You can watch an installation video it seems simple enough it's just a piece that goes over your toilet bowl and there's a tube connected through a tee connector to your water supply. Otherwise if you can't get it im sorry that you can't experience the pure bliss of having clean ass.

Yeah not the installation that i'm worried about. I'm pretty handy. it's liquid shits basically encrusting it in a few days making it a hard to clean
