You can also shower less frequently because you don't constantly smell like shit.
Nobody smells like shit after using toilet paper unless they’re doing it wrong

Then a sizeable percentage of people are doing it wrong because why on earth do so many people smell like poop? I know some people don't even wipe but I've asked some whether or not they have wiped and despite that they still smelt like poop.

All the toilets where I am from have a bidet and we do wash our bits with them. At least all who I have done bidet discourse with do.
Even public toilets have them and it would be incredible miserable to exist in the world with periods if they didn't.
But I still need TP as a person without a personal hose for peeing. It's also nice to dry things up with after the washing and then there's the period stuff. This post seems to ignore that not everyone has similar plumbing.

Yeah that's bad on my part this post is more about wiping after shitting than TP itself but your point is valid.

Bidet gang.
Anyone scrolling down. Here's an alternative if you can't install a bidet. This disc top container works, especially convenient if you have used shampoo containers with it. Just fill it up with water and wash yer ass with it.
yeah i think people are honing in on the "bidet" part with their justifications and ignoring the "wash ass with water using many different possible regularly accessible items"
This. It's kinda on me though because I specifically mentioned bidets and shower bidets as the only solutions. I just took 5 minutes to type a stupid post without clearly thinking about the nuances of a topic as complicated as butt washing.
tbf it doesn't wash that well this way. you could at most argue its better than nothing.
why do westerners do anything
Racism? Is it racist to wash your butt? /s
Correction: it's gay to wash your butt
this is genuinely how some men think
Between the state of our water in some zip codes and how the general US treats public bathrooms, I think more bidets would just cause more public health issues.
Trust me I've seen some bad water and bad public toilets, it doesn't cause any issues.
Maybe if you drink it.
Clean my ass with water?!? Absolutely not. Fish fuck in water.
By Hose do you mean a bum gun?(Or a bidet shower, pic for reference) prefer that as I have more control than a machine powered bidet tbh
if bum guns are outlawed all we'll have is the poop knife
ooh it's the thailand butt shower, love those things

If we're talking about "inventing TP", I'm pretty sure we wiped with leaves and stuff before we invented the hose. Maybe even nice thick leaves like cabbage leaves.
I don't like getting only my butt wet instead of the whole body. If I wanted my butt wet I might as well take a shower.
Also, composting toilets are superior. Flush toilets emerged along with the capitalist class and the liberal idea of private bathroom ownership. Putting water pipes into every dwelling unit is a wasteful luxury that speeds up the decay of buildings. If we're talking about plumbing and commodity shortages we need to have a holistic approach instead of a hyperspecific bandaid approach.
