Use toilet paper to dry.

the fuck is the point if you still have to use it to dry off.

    It's a single wipe on clean skin. Much less paper used. No abraison. No mess. If you got shit on your arm would you be satisfied just wiping if off with paper?

    No but I can do the same thing with a shower head and use soap and then a towell.

    sounds like maybe bidets are for people who either have roommates or family living with them.

    You seem determined to take issue with the concept of a bidet. That's OK no one is forcing you to use one. The toilet seat attachment ones are super cheap and convenient. You don't have to get up and go anywhere. You just turn a knob when you're done pooping and you get cleaner than you can with paper. Feels good to be clean.

    Like back to the arm poop analogy, if you for some reason were getting shit on your arm every single day, sometimes multiple times, then having to go do the shower soap towell thing becomes a hassle. Maybe it makes sense to have a special hose next to where you keep getting shit on you to make clean up easier.

    That’s OK no one is forcing you to use one

    Yet a lot of the comments here are like "LOL HOW COME MORE PEOPLE DONT USE THESE R THEY DUMB MY ASSHOLE IS SO FRESH"

    I'll be honest. I never get poop on any part of my body ever. Maybe like once on my hand while I was sick cause I was so sick that I missed but that's not a common occurrence and probably hasn't happened since I was a teenager. I'm in my late 30's now. So that time is FAR far behind me. lmao. I don't have a perfect memory but I would definitely remember getting poop on my fucking arm.

    But maybe if I had a child or something someday - and I had poop getting on my arm cause of the kid making it a hassle to change a diaper... well I'd probably use a baby wipe. Duh.

    Do you dry your hands after washing them?

    You gotta get the ones with the blow dryers! My asshole is sparkling, and the toilet paper collects dust.
