I just gotta say I’m really confused by the “you don’t need TP” angle of bidet shilling, like I am a bidet user and a bidet shill but I still have to use several pieces of multi-ply TP to dry off down there, and sometimes need to wipe extra to get what the bidet missed despite my 30 seconds of ass-wriggling.

I have no idea. But the Chinese don't either which is an uncommon L for them. Some places do have a Japanese style toilet but in my opinion they suck. The pinnacle of anus cleaning technology is the bum gun, used throughout South east Asia
Rare Japanese W compared to China
Chinese don't either
I didn't know about that. I change my mind the PRC are the bad guys now.

We need another cultural revolution
One of the first Muslims to venture into China in the 700s said the Chinese were disgusting because they didn't wash up after defecating and instead rubbed paper on their butts.

WASH IT!
I bought a bidet and am never going back. Sidenote: were you here for the bidet struggle session where a user decided bidets were bourgeois?
were you here for the bidet struggle session
No that's funny you got a link?
This may not be the very first case of it, though it's 3 years old and in its small comment chain, it's not being treated as a repeat. I'm not seeing an earlier mention offhand.
But if you weren't aware, this topic of struggle is one that has come up numerous times on hexbear. But this might be the thread in question.
It brings me profound sadness that so much of Hexbear's greatest hits are forever lost to the void due to account wipes (no pun intended) and users who can't stand by their previous proclamations (usually with some excuse about opsec). The loss of that most important of all struggles to a string of "deleted by user"'s is one of the greatest of such tragedies. Fortunately, ~~@ButtBidet@hexbear.net~~ @BeamBrain@hexbear.net is doing god's work and summed up the most relevant statements.

Some don't even wash their ass in the shower.
It's gay to touch your own butt!
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

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.
A dumb sideline- question from a country where shower heads are always hand held.
I visited AmeriKKKa once and the one thing that was different was the showers and tubs. The places I went had showers you can't detach from above and only shallow tubs. I assume one is to sit around in the dirty water and that supposedly is "showering" and I thought it to be odd. I could not properly wash my nether regions or even armpits that way because am used to pointing the water upwards with the shower in my hand.
Tubs have disappeared from around here long ago due to how much water they consume and when we did bathing, we would always shower and wash first and then do the bath as a form of relaxation/pampering.
The undetachable showerhead made especially rinsing properly somehow impossible for me. Always felt like there at least might be some soap left in my bits. Tried to bend over and stuff to get the clean water into all places, but felt a bit icky still. The water pressure also seemed to be very low which made it worse.
I really don't think you can get your ass properly washed like this either. Are the showers in the US still like this or was this a regional thing?

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.

Clean my ass with water?!? Absolutely not. Fish fuck in water.
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.

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.
