Bidet. Amazing for a North American, I know RoW has had them for eons. You are so clean that a couple of squares of tp to dry off and you are golden. No more endless wiping.
I installed something like this next to my toilet a couple of month ago and it changed my life. Costs like 30 bucks, it takes 3 single sheets to dry my clean ass. Whiping shit ~~left to right~~ up and down until it stops sticking feels so barbaric now.
I have heard it front to back, back to front, up or down, but never have I heard of a left-right wiper.
Back to front only works for about half the population unless you like getting yeast infections...
But have you heard of the circular wipe haha
I'm sorry, but I'm not about to Mr. Miyagi my butthole. Seems ill advised ๐คฃ
Yeah, neither "paint the fence" or "wax the floor" seem to be about removing a substance as much as spreading it around...
Hahaha, good one.
I'm glad I am not the only one that raised an eyebrow here.
I long for the day when they are just normal everywhere. Easily one of the best things to come out of the pandemic and those wild toilet paper shortages.
Try using a small towel do dry off, it's a little bit more comfortable and more effective
I heard an elderly Indian gentleman refer to toilet paper as "The smearing method"
I saw the light a couple years ago. I just wish hotels would get with the times.
Buddy bought me one as a gift, i turned around and bought him and another friend one and another for us as we have 2 bathrooms. One friend hasnt installed theirs yet but the first one did. "I hate going anywhere but home now" was his response when i asked him if he installed it. My wife and i feel the same way. The first one bought for us was a tushy brand one that was like 200$. The second one and the one ive bought for people is like $35 and works better. Has hot water, and a second nozzle for those with a vagina.
My wife and I finally bought a nice toilet seat style bidet (better price on third party sites) with heated water and all the bells and whistles. We both love it, she even more than me.
I hate going anywhere else now.
