When people think a bidet is stupid, I always ask: If you had poop on your arm, would you clean it with water or just wipe it with a dry towel and call it a day?

Not to mention it’s less irritating for ur bum

This question shows that people can have differing standards of cleanliness and it’s OK. Because the answer is “would you spray your arm with water only or would you use soap?” Bidets don’t use soap, so with either bidet or paper you can still feel dirty until a shower, it’s just what level of dirty you’re willing to accept.

Bidets don’t use soap? Well, I use soap on every use, what kind of bidet instructions do you follow up? Sponge and hands, a bidet is like a mini shower in your groins without a full body implication, is just a washbasin at a convenient height… don’t you wash your hands and your face in the morning with soap in the washbasin?

EDIT: Probably we imply different things for “bidet”, I got South European one in mind…

Fallacy of relative privation. Red herring. Some other fallacy maybe. But a fallacy none the less.

Also, people with bidets still take showers so we may not use soap all the time but they we still do. A guy I used to play football with would never use a bidet nor wash his ass with soap cause a man’s finger near an ass is gay even if it’s his ass and finger

Either way you’re being a jerk

No idea what you’re trying to say. Generally all people (whether bidet or paper users) use soap when taking a shower, but virtually no one uses it on their ass in the bathroom. Ergo you’re “dirty” until the shower. For you a bidet feels clean and paper users are dirty. For a “neat freak” they have to immediately wash their ass with soap and non-soap bidet users are dirty.

People have different preferences and it’s not a logical fallacy.

Then maybe the answer could be something like a car wash machine: first pass with soap and then only water.

Hey, fellow Spuds fan. I have a similar one but it’s: "If you smeared peanut butter on the outside of a watermelon but wiped it off with dry toilet paper, wouldn’t you expect it to still smell like peanut butter?

Honestly, I feel like they’re both gonna smell like peanut butter about the same

Especially if you do that with a potato instead of a watermelon

Certainly the one you’ve sprayed after wiping would smell less like peanut butter though? The first thing we do when cleaning anything seriously is get the wiper/scrubber/sponge/paper towel wet, with either water or cleaning solutions.

The moral of the story is y’all need to wash your asses however it gets done.

Honestly I’d say wiping my arm with a bunch of paper towels is about the same as spraying it down with a garden hose. I feel like people who say otherwise have never actually tried to rinse something off their body with just water pressure and no scrubbing.

I still plan to get a bidet because it’s less irritating as you said.

You still have to wipe though, right? Using just water to clean it off your arm would still leave a stain. You have to make contact to rub away what remains somehow.

I’ve used a few bidets and while it was fun and they did an ok job there was no soap involved and I still had to wipe. I don’t hate them, they make some sense, but a bidet is not magic.

I’ve used a bidet for a decade and the only reason I have to wipe is to dry off

Only if you have a solid one. If your poo is sticky it leaves a smear and even high pressure water won’t shift, and that’s when you need a wipe.

If the pressure is right u should be able to get everything, but yeah even then you need to dry it.

This is a trap, literally none of you want to hear why bidets are disgusting and I will not be dragged into this again.

Fuck bidets and everyone who recommends them.

what? I like them but I’m happy to hear your arguments if you would articulate them.

“You’re wrong I’m right but I won’t tell you why” is the opposite of a useful comment
