I have a bidet but can only use it in the summer because the water is ice in the winter :(. I'd love to hook up the hot water to it but there's no way to do it in my rented house
To be fair, I don't go around touching things and eating with my bare buttcrack all day. I do those things with my hands, which I wash after going to the bathroom. And I shower at least once a day and clean that buttcrack with soap.
That's not to say that a bidet isn't better than TP, just that the analogy never made sense.
You're still carrying it around with you. Forget about it being on your hands - if you got some shit on your leg, would you wipe it off with a paper towel and call it a day? You're not touching things and eating with your shins after all
If that's all that were available, and if repurposing existing fixtures to jury-rig something would be awkward and violate social norms, and if the leg-shit were always someplace where the contours of the human body kept it from really touching anything else, and if my culture had a practice of including an extra layer of relatively expendable clothing that was always between the leg-shit-spot and my pants, then yeah, I'd manage.
It's not that it's a terrible analogy, but it's more a bit from standup routine than a revelation about life. That being said, I'd still very much prefer to be able to wash it off with water, and while my shins are generally fine, I try to avoid pooping outside the house and will not be giving up my home bidets, thank you very much.
It's not supposed to be a "revelation about life" though??And I wasn't talking about taking a shit in public, I just said getting shit on your leg.
If you're walking barefoot in a park and step on some dog shit, I doubt you'll feel clean after wiping it out from between your toes with a dry paper towel. Even (especially?) if you put shoes on after
I feel like this thread has a bunch of Charmin employees commenting.
Explicitly? Nowhere, but then again you offered no alternative, just made the comparison of using TP on your butthole with using a paper towel on your leg.
Nevermind that we don't typically pressure wash our legs when we get things on them, poop or otherwise, the inference seems to be that we should want to wash the area. Which typically uses soap.
Now, if you want to actually finish your analogy so it fully explains differences and have a full discussion about it, feel free. I'm sure plenty of people will have fun poking more holes in it, though, so I hope you don't get too up in arms about it.
Omg I came here to comment exactly this. Such a luxury
You know, you could bring a water bottle to the bathroom and one of these pocket sized bidet caps and nobody would really know. Unless you chose a crinkly bottle I guess
Um... my dude... I'm going to need a lot more water pressure than that...
That being said, I wonder if you could make an adapter for a battery powered paint sprayer... or just give zero fucks and leave a pressure washer in the stall. Obviously not full power, but pressure wouldn't be an issue then.
