I can't ever imagine going back to wiping my ass with toilet paper, at least in situations where I have a bidet available. Why is everything about western culture literally the fucking worst

      Why didn't op just install it in every toilet he uses as a public service? smh

        Despite the knowledge I have of the superior shitting experience, it is apparent I have failed to do the praxis and I do deeply apologize. sadness

        I pledge to dedicate my life to making sure every single public toilet has a bidet, thereby making bidets accessible for all in the western world--yes, even for the chuds who can no longer poop properly from their carnivore diets.

    it felt like admitting defeat to IBS at the time, but my QOL improved a lot when i bit the bullet and just started carrying baby wipes in my bag everywhere in case i had to poop away from my precious at home. those + immodium in my backpack are my doodooass travel kit.

    doesn't do me any good if i encounter multi-stall bathrooms where you have to poop next to others though, nowhere to throw the little wipes away :(

      it's an extra carry but maybe a small bottle of water and some regular TP is better than the do not flush these even if they say flushable things?

      for the multi-stall situation

    Portable bidets are great but there’s nothing like a full blast positioned just right to clean you out at home.

    I'm being unnecessarily ironically snarky in this post. But really, I commiserate with you about everything here being the most terrible version.

      Good advice, will look into the wipes. More fiber is also good advice for all the westerners who eat the standard American diet (or similar), my shits were way worse before I went vegan and started eating all the bean

      Edit: hmm wait I don't think wipes are considered flushable generally

        Yeah you gotta throw them away although some claim to be flushable. Dude wipes is one that does. I don't flush them tho.

        And it's still not like you'd be quite as clean from dry wiping even if you have perfect poops.

        If someone touched a poop and then wiped their hand with a piece of paper, I still wouldn't shake their hand.

    I hate pooping at work now.

    I was also worried that my trip to Japan was going to be brutal, but it turned out there were bidets in every single bathroom I went to while we were there so that was fucking fantastic.
