A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Why aren't baby wipers our default?

I'd argue, majority of places don't have those. Also I'm talking about the wiping process.

You can order one online for like $35 and install it yourself, it's a real game changer.

I can recommend HappyPo, a portable bidet.

I must be using it wrong. It just makes my butt wet, not really easier to wipe.

Hard to say. I like to lean forward and to the side, lifting one butt cheek off the seat and then I do sploosh with relatively much pressure.

One mistake I've made at first, is to be a bit overzealous with the wiping. In order to be clean, you only need the outside of the sphincter to be clean. Trying to clean beyond there is rather pointless, as that's the inside of your rectum, where your body literally stores shit.
But with toilet paper, you can obviously reach beyond that, which will return a stained toilet paper and make it look like you weren't clean yet.

Guess that's the reason.

Use a bidet and never wipe again.

I don't get this, I've used bidets, it results in a wet ass that I need to dry off with toilet paper which sometimes still shows poop

I guess keep wiping then. About a month since I installed our bidet and the only time I used paper after about the first week of checking, is at work. And yeah, my asshole is wet after I spray, but it is not like there is water pouring out of it or anything.
