        I’ll preface my comment with the fact that I never saw a bidet until I was in my 30s, so I was never properly “bidet trained”, but I can tell you that at a glance the prospect of having a damp ass after every shit does not appeal to me. Particularly in humid regions where damp bodily areas leads chafing and rashes. It also looks like a lot more effort than just wiping and moving on with minimal difference in results.

        That said, if you prefer bidets and have access to them, more power to you.

          It’s honestly shamefull to see people downvoting and calling you dumbass for raising questions and concerns about bidets. I’m not bidet trained either, and I don’t really have a strong opinion on them, but these responses almost make me want to take a stance against bidets.

            I don’t really care about my “social credit score”. It’s an honest question and I’ve learned a couple things about bidets so far. The overwhelming conclusion, however, is that a lot of proud bidet users are kind of elitist assholes (heh, puns), and would rather admonish condescendingly than care to explain. Goes to show you really need a parent or a family member to properly teach you these things. If no one in your family has ever used a bidet, then I guess you’re shit out of luck (heh).

            Either that or the guy saying they’re overrated was on to something and everyone’s getting defensive and pissy (heh) about it. If your method was truly better, you could just explain it without resorting to shame tactics. Could be something they’re embarrassed about?

            “a bunch of people told an ignorant person they were wrong and that offended me because I’m also ignorant and that makes me upset.”

            Bro grow up and wash your asshole. If you stepped in shit barefoot would you be cool just wiping it with paper and moving on or would you use water? Bidets should be standard in the USA, absolutely barbaric using the sandpaper corporate America has deemed acceptable.

              Bro.

              I live in a country where bidets are extremely rare. I honestly only know one single household with a bidet. I have however discussed getting one, but the discussion has pretty much faded out since it isn’t seen as a common need around here.

              I fully agree with the “buttholes are the only thing we are content with wiping with paper to clean away poop”-paradox argument. I have mentioned that a lot in my discussions with my gf about getting one. So maybe I should get one - as I said, my opinion isn’t very strong as I haven’t experienced one, and I haven’t experienced sanitary issues with using paper.

              So with all that said, it’s less tempting to make that purchase when people respond as condescending dickheads when raising concerns or questions about it. You just fully assumed that I lived in a place where bidets are common and told me to grow up and that I am ignorant. The other commenter got called a dumbass for not knowing the bidet procedure when they initially said that they were not bidet trained.

              Being condescending doesn’t really help anyone. It just makes me want to ignore your advice.

                I too am from a place bidets are rare, literally don’t know anybody else who has one. But after that first wash I was changed, made a true believer; anybody who talks bad about bidets is shit talking something I love. Try one, join us on the smug and clean side of butthole’s.

              Bidets should be banned, non sarcastically. People who shoot water into their shitty anus, creating shit water that splashes all over the place, are disgusting and a health hazard. That’s probably why you only see them in third world places like Europe, which historically has been a disgusting place with disgusting people who would literally dump buckets of shit into the streets. You really gonna take hygiene advice from those pigs? LMAO

              Anyways, I’m going to continue to properly clean my ass with toilet paper, like God intended. Hopefully those Europoopeans invest in proper potty training for future generations so they can stop being the laughing stock for the rest of the modern world.

              Downvote if you agree.

            After a shower you dry off with a towel, obviously.

            Do you dry your ass with a towel after using a bidet? An ass towel? Because that’s disgusting.

              So wait, do you not dry your ass after a shower? Or are you saying that you use something other than a towel to do so? Am I speaking to someone who’s never touched their ass with a towel? Do you just stand around in the nude while waiting for your ass to air dry?

            Toilet paper comes apart when it gets sopping wet, dumbass.

            (I assume you prefer communicating in a derogatory style, so I’ll just mimick yours.)

              Nah, not really. If the only thing you need to do is dry your ass, all you do is ball up the tp before you swipe so it doesn’t fall apart.
