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

Had to stay with a friend recently. I bought him a bidet ahead of my arrival and then installed it for him when I got there.
Hell yeah, I salute you, fellow bidet enjoyer
You are invited to stay at my house at your convenience
I don't do the anus squeegee
Lest the water comes from Fiji
Listen to this man. His username indicates expertise
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
Poop in the shower
Waffle stomp baby 😎
Portable wet wipes is the move tbh. Also eat more fiber and/or take fiber supplements.
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 
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.
Japan has bidet in public parks
Civilization is actually pretty rad
Every water fountain is a bidet if you're brave enough.
Toilets in park in LA didn't have a door on the stall or paper and someone had carved 'kill me' into the wall which was nice
Ask Wom Hof.
I always travel with some seashells
She sells seashells by the shit shore
Portable bidets are great but there’s nothing like a full blast positioned just right to clean you out at home.
Just build them into the toilets everywhere.
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. 
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.
Thank you for your service.
So inconsiderate. Calls themselves a communist smdh

I'm being unnecessarily ironically snarky in this post. But really, I commiserate with you about everything here being the most terrible version.
You shouldn't really need to use a bidet if you're eating healthily
Western diet: and I took that personally
Having a good diet helps but doesn't cure IBS
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 pinch it off so clean i don't even have to wipe and there's nothing on the paper if i do
Is this a bit account doing its thing or?
No, there's always a level of unavoidable fecal matter and this is normal and good in some instances (e.g. oral consumption of probiotics to support a healthy vaginal microbiome) - and conversely some people are blasting their anus with water jets so frequently it causes issues, for example
However, excessive bidet use potentially causes anal pruritus and anal incontinence (AI). Physicians are advised to instruct patients with anal pruritus to avoid excessive cleaning of the anus and those with AI to discontinue bidet use. For the estimation of the inherent severity of AI, physicians should instruct a bidet user with AI to discontinue bidet use and assess the severity of AI later. Additionally, the nozzle surface and splay water of bidet toilets may be contaminated with fecal indicator bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as well as antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, rendering them a potential vehicle for cross-infection.
That said, it's funny that the fucked western diet also accompanies the worst pooping position (sitting instead of squatting) and worst cleaning mechanism for bad shits (smearing with paper instead of literally anything else)
I miss my bidet! If there was a god, his/her greatest creation.
Buy a portable one
Hmm yeah I might need to look into that, thanks
