Bidet disrupts big toiled paper roll.

We have three young kids, and I've gotten a lot of funny looks over the past couple years when I tell people that if one of them pooped in their diaper, we washed their nether regions with soap and water.

It absolutely baffles me that the same people who freak out about the possibility of there being germs on their kid's pacifier will wipe up poop with a wet wipe and send the kid on their way.

Even as an adult, I don't get how people think of toilet paper as having any "cleaning" power. It just seems wildly unsanitary if you bother to think about it, which is why I suppose most people choose not to.

I always liked the argument, if your belly button was your butthole, would you wipe it with TP and call it good?

I think TP alone does a fine enough job but you need to go the extra step to wet it after your initial wipes. I'm lucky enough to have long arms and a sink well within reach from the toilet. I think I'd be easier to can people off just using dry paper than expecting them to lather up with soap every time.

People laugh when I say this, but one of the main reasons I want to buy my own house is to to install a bidet in all the toilets. As someone who’s been using toilet paper only for about three years, I find it absolutely disgusting.

You can get one of the cheaper $20-60 washlets on Amazon (I like Luxe Bidet), they tap into the toilet’s water line and can be installed in under 20 minutes. And when it’s time for you to move out, they’re just as easy to remove and your landlord will never know how squeaky clean your butt is!
