        I feel like my bits are ALWAYS CLEAN now, unless I poo away from home. It’s incredible. My partner and I have gotten REEEEAL lax on showering on weeks we both work from home…

      North Americans are not ready for this. Showed a neighbour my bidet when they toured my house and they were absolutely appalled by the bidet attachment.

      “How unsanitary! Shit just flown around everywhere! I wouldn’t want that dirty water anywhere near me. I’ll stick to my toilet paper thank you very much “

        Do people think a bidet is using the water from the toilet bowl instead of fresh water?

          Absolutely 100%. I tried explaining that the water inlet to the toilet diverges and is used to supply the bidet attachment but they weren’t having any of it.

          To be honest though, growing up I was taught this too. That bidet is super unhygienic because you wash your ass with shit water. Remember seeing a charmin commercial too and it was like “bidet? Let’s join the 21st century!” Or something like that. I was like 6 🤷

      I have a pre-existing injury that causes lots of pain in lots of contexts.

      I’ve found that, especially recently, using the toilet greatly enhances the pain, sometimes to debilitating levels. Now I have to decide whether to use the toilet then shower, leaving me feeling clean but down for the count; or to use the shower then the toilet, leaving me at lower pain levels but feeling gross all day.

      Neither seems like a good option. The best option I’ve found is to use the toilet, clean myself as best I’m able, lay down for a while, then shower; however, it can be hard to fit this in a work day or any day when I have obligations.

      Now you know a bit more about me. It’s your fault, you asked.

        Spend $30 and buy a bidet attachment off of amazon you deserve better than your current painful poo regime.

          While I appreciate that, I have a bidet. The source of my pain is the physical act of sitting in that position, rather than anything specifically related to the act or cleanup.

          I’ve considered getting a squatty potty (or equivalent stool (heh)), but I’m not sure if that would make things better or worse.
