Get a bidet, Lemmy
Okay! But fair warning I’m the opposite of handy
Good luck!
If only I had power next to my toilet 😭
(No I’m not using cold water; I’m cold enough already)
Honestly cold water is not bad. If that’s your deal breaker find a $30 Bidet attachment and give it a try.
Dude I don’t even drink cold water unless it’s a very hot day because I have precious little body heat and it takes a long time to get it back.
The idea of getting frozen by the crotch/butt does not amuse me.
There are actually hot-water ones that don’t use power. They use a second water hose to connect to the hot water pipe under your sink. I’ve never used one though, so can’t comment on how nice/unnice they are to use - but the LUXE 320 seems set up for that
Sadly, that would be even more difficult. My toilet is across from my sink, so there would really be no safe way to hook it up that wouldn’t imply someone who really knows what they’re doing. At that point it’d probably be easier to hire an electrician to add a power plug.
But that sounds expensive, and I’m a renter…
I’ve got two in my house, both Totos. One was like $900 and the other around $350 at Costco. The Costco one is more than enough. Should have saved some money!
You could’ve saved a heckuva lot more money. I have two in my house as well, both were about $45 each and those were the luxury versions! My old ones were about $25.
They’re non-electric LUXE Bidet brand, activated solely by water pressure when you turn the dial on them. No fancy bells and whistles, but they have pretty decent water pressure and get the job done.
I’ve had a few of these over the years, possibly the best value for price ever. Every place I live, I just get another one and leave it there like some kind of Johnny Bidetseed.
I definitely overspent. I had no idea what I was doing. I had a layover in Tokyo and after that I knew I had to have one. Didn’t know what features I needed (or my wife) so I just picked the top one.
The never ending hot water is nice but totally unnecessary. Few other differences but not enough to justify the price.
The heated seats were mandatory for my wife lol. Only reason I was able to convince her.
$27 dollars from Walmart a few months back, best investment in a long time. I now barely use any toilet paper as it is just to dab dry. I’m sure I have already made the money back with toilet paper prices these days
I’ve got the same one, $38.55 from amazon right now. My dad’s got one of the fancy expensive ones. I actually prefer the cheaper ones - this probably varies by area and brand, but because mine runs on the home’s water pressure and his is powered, mine ends up being able to deliver significantly more force. They have a self-cleaning mode too.
Bidets aren’t a luxury item for rich people. Everyone reading should get one. You can blame me if you end up not liking it.
Plus you don’t have to be like me and have an electrician come out and install outlets behind the toilets
Yup, the cheap one works just fine as long as there’s good water pressure from the pipe, it’s basically an upside down tap that aim at your butt, no fancy needed.
We have one $450 Toto and one cheap one from Luxe that currently sells on Amazon for $63. I actually prefer the Luxe because it sprays harder. It just uses the ambient water pressure while the Toto self-pressurizes. I think my wife prefers the Toto because of the other functions like the heated seat and the preheated water.
When I have to poop away from home I feel like a barbarian. I seriously miss the bidets when I travel or have to poop at work.
I have the same feelings as you. I tell my wife I feel like an unsophisticated savage when I have to use toilet paper. Never feels clean enough using just TP! I usually just end up showering lol
When I have to poop away from home I feel like a barbarian.
A year or two ago i could’ve written that. Then i discovered travel Bidets. I have one that is a small bottle i fill up at the sink. Then i also have a Bidet that is just a cap for a plastic water bottle. That one is real tiny so easy to take places.
So if I’m going on a trip i take the small bottle one, and if I’m just going out then i bring the cap
Wait what?
Booty blood.
maybe its that cheap school (or public building) toiletpaper from ages ago that still contained … woodchips?
Or you’re scrubbing and you shouldn’t be scrubbing.
http://www.bccancer.bc.ca/screening/colon/who-should-screen
Where I’m located, screening is recommended for people 50 years old and above. Check the recommendations and process for your location (or ask your primary care doctor when you can).
Also note that if you’re already having symptoms like the post mentions:
Screening is only recommended for people who are not experiencing symptoms that may indicate colon cancer. Symptoms can include blood in your stool, abdominal pain, change in bowel habits, or unexplained weight loss. If you are experiencing these symptoms, talk to your health care provider about a referral for diagnostic testing to determine the cause of these symptoms.
It’s worth noting for everyone who might be reading this that blood on your toilet paper is 99.9% of the time from hemorrhoids or wiping too much, not from colon cancer. You’re looking for dark stool and all these other symptoms, not a tiny amount of bright red blood on your toilet paper.
And the rest of the symptoms listed can be literally anything. I remember experiencing some symptoms and looked it up and of course everything says cancer. Went to three different doctors and the only thing they really said is that I have an anxiety problem lol.
I don’t look up symptoms anymore.
If you’re high risk for any reason get screened earlier. I’m getting screened at 31 after digestive problems.
That screening saved my dads life
