You can get a decent addon bidet for like $40
Yeah literally it will change your life. Pretty easy to install too.
How much lifting is pretty doing?
About as easy as assembling IKEA shelves. You'll need an adjustable wrench or channel lock pliers to unscrew the plumbing fittings, and maybe a screwdriver.
Normalize left wing handiness
Ok I’ve done plenty of ikea but plumbing scares me
If you can do Ikea, you can do plumbing
And don't forget to turn the water off to the toilet before you start.
I did it myself in like 30 mins. You might need to get some teflon tape if the kit you get doesn't include any. I needed some to keep the connection to the water line from leaking
Not much, a lot of them have built in nut wrenches for the hoses and easy instructions. They mount with the standard toilet seat hardware. If you get one with warm water, it's just a bit more work.
Okay so here's what you do.
After the preliminary clean get 2-3 squares of paper, stack them and fold the stack in half. The goal is to have something 4-6 sheets thick. Get it wet with cool water. Wipe gingerly.
When you can shower pat the area dry and apply some ointment. Basic antibiotic ointment (neosporin stuff) will work. Petroleum jelly if nothing else is available. You can also use coconut oil. You gotta moisturize your hole.
Expert mode: if you have a heater or even just a hair dryer use that to blast your asshole with warm dry air after the shower.
Now onto double extra mode: the next time you need to shit get a square of toilet paper and fold it into a little applicator patch. Put ointment on it. Massage it onto your asshole, a little bit inside even. Then take your shit.
Remember the rule: dry skin tears, moist skin stretches so stay hydrated and apply ointment.
And eat more fiber.

GOOD post

"Shitcom" is a 2012 claymation short film directed by Takena Nagao. It is a scatological romantic comedy with a runtime of approximately 1 minute. It was posted to Takena's YouTube channel on September 21st, 2012; the official upload of the film today has over 3 million views.
"Shitcom" is consistently among the lowest-rated anime of all time.
Finally a thread in which I can talk about my anal incontinence. Had a hemorrhoid last week, for the first time ever. It was so uncomfortable, felt like I was shitting out a xenomorph.
This huge lump had grown around the puckered lips of my asshole, covering the entire anus to the point where I couldn’t even find it.
Was prescribed some hydrocortisol cream and antiinflammatory meds.
Moral of the story: you have a hemmy, my friend. Eat fiber, wipe with baby wipes, maybe get prep H. Go see a doctor if you can.
I had a bad hemorrhoid once and I got suppositories and it worked like a charm. The feel when it goes away
my friend you really really need a bidet it's only 30 bucks. your home life will be completely turned around.
I am so tired of pooing. I eat the food — which I apparently need to live or something — and then I have to go put the food somewhere else an hour later, except it's brown and stinky. I eat the food, I go to a place to un-eat the food, I wash my hands, I leave, and then I have to eat MORE food. Guess where that food ends up! Not in me! I give the food to my body, and like a child it tosses it out and demands more. All hours of the day, all hours of the night, no matter what I'm doing, my life is interrupted by SHIT. Fuckin bullpiss!
I seriously cannot overstate how good bidets are. Easy to install, and they go for $30 or less if you stick with a basic mechanical one.
You definitely need a bidet but also please eat more fiber and drink more water.
bro get a bidet with a dryer built in you will feel like youve been a savage this whole time and it will solve your issues
Is this how Americans live?
unfortunately.
the dialectic?
This sounds less bidet more go see a doctor, but I assume that is not possible because of healthcare costs
i mean i kind of assumed that the op was exaggerating, but if he is unironic - he should probably see if he has butt cancer ig
try wiping with wet toilet paper OP. you obviously have to take care not to soak it, just damp. i've been doing this my whole life and my butthole is very clean. doesn't beat a bidet but it works, and you should be able to get clean with your current condition.
you should try a bidet (which seems like alot of people recommended), alongside with some small stepping stool next to your toilet for you to put your feet on when you poop - there is apparently some thing when if you have legs in a somewhat squatting position you can help pass poop
Baby wipes?
(Do not flush. But to soothe the area I mean lol)
you can get flushable wet ass wipes they're much better than TP in a pinch
Most of those aren't actually flushable, despite the name.
If it doesn't break down into nothing if you drop one into a clean toilet and leave it there for a while, then it's not flushable regardless of what the wrapper says.
I always knew those "flushable" wipes were hell on waste treatment plants, but it became more obvious at the start of the pandemic with pipes clogging and bursting.
Oh daaaaamn that’s gourmet shidding right there
Nor wonder how I lost my Wits; Oh! Caelia, Caelia, Caelia shits!
I just remembered i think i forgot to clean my hands, but my cat just climbed on top of my belly as i was writing this, rendering me functionally immobile
Support for you in this trying time, comrade. Also, psyllium husk supplement changed my life (specifically they changed my bowel movements from unpredictable and IBS-like to like 85% normal healthy bowel movements).
Assuming you're exaggerating a bit here, and don't need immediate medical attention, it sounds like you have haemorrhoids tbh. That would account for the endless wiping, soreness, and bleeding. Basically, you've blown out the muscles in your asshole from pushing too much. Have you tried eating fruit?
So there's this thing called insoluble fiber, and you need to eat it.
Get a bidet seat, but in the mean time, a portable bidet can be had from most drug stores or online for between $3 and $9.
I'm not sure if any of you read my inspired comment in the mega yesterday;
Yeah but we should go back to outhouses, seems like we took a step back from days were you'd have a tiny poop-house and a larger non-poop-house;
I'm not going outside in the snow to take a shit in a glorified Port-a-Potty. Indoor plumbing is the greatest invention in history and you'll take it from my cold dead hands.
Washing your doodoo ass gang stay winning
toilet paper is barbaric and should have been consigned to the past by now. i seriously don't know how anyone tolerates it, even the expensive stuff, i use soft wet flushable wipes but even then i will try to time my showering so it's after i take a shit. can't bear to not have a pristine ass. why should i be ok with one part of my body having shit on it? if i have to go outside and do anything being in that state is intolerable. barbaric.
Flushable*
I feel like I need to shit right now but when I go, fucking dick happens
I’m visiting relatives abroad and they have bidets which is a godsend, but when home, I just use the shower to clean my ass. Never went back to TP
