Wouldn't recommend. I bought a Kärcher brand one some time ago, it had too much pressure. Got my butt cleaned to the bone though.
Edit: I appreciate the advice about pressure, but folks, I was joking about power washers 😆

When people think a bidet is stupid, I always ask: If you had poop on your arm, would you clean it with water or just wipe it with a dry towel and call it a day?
Not to mention it's less irritating for ur bum
This question shows that people can have differing standards of cleanliness and it's OK. Because the answer is "would you spray your arm with water only or would you use soap?" Bidets don't use soap, so with either bidet or paper you can still feel dirty until a shower, it's just what level of dirty you're willing to accept.
Bidets don’t use soap? Well, I use soap on every use, what kind of bidet instructions do you follow up? Sponge and hands, a bidet is like a mini shower in your groins without a full body implication, is just a washbasin at a convenient height… don’t you wash your hands and your face in the morning with soap in the washbasin?
EDIT: Probably we imply different things for “bidet”, I got South European one in mind…
Fallacy of relative privation. Red herring. Some other fallacy maybe. But a fallacy none the less.
Also, people with bidets still take showers so we may not use soap all the time but they we still do. A guy I used to play football with would never use a bidet nor wash his ass with soap cause a man's finger near an ass is gay even if it's his ass and finger
Either way you're being a jerk
No idea what you're trying to say. Generally all people (whether bidet or paper users) use soap when taking a shower, but virtually no one uses it on their ass in the bathroom. Ergo you're "dirty" until the shower. For you a bidet feels clean and paper users are dirty. For a "neat freak" they have to immediately wash their ass with soap and non-soap bidet users are dirty.
People have different preferences and it's not a logical fallacy.
Most people use toilet paper > Bidet users says hey this is a better way > Toilet paper users (and you for some reason) say well you're not using soap so it's not actually clean so why use one.
You're arguing something that wasn't in the original argument, that makes it a fallacy.
Also, if they made a Bidet with soap I would use it but they don't. So until there us soap use the water.
The original argument (question) was "would you use water or paper to clean shit off your arm" and the answer for most people is "definitely neither water or paper alone, soap needs to be in there somewhere". Limiting it to either water or paper only is a binary fallacy.
What if someone criticized you for not using soap with a bidet? That's what bidet advocates are doing for paper users. My point was that people have different standards and that's not a bad thing. This made me a "jerk" to you for some reason.
For the record I've used bidets and they're fine (although some people probably feel that public bidets are kind of gross when compared to paper), but the cleanliness factor is pretty close in most situations IMO. It's not like I was advocating for not washing your ass for a week or something.
The original posed the question as if those are the only two options. Because, since there are no bidets that also shoot soap (at least not that I've seen anywhere), those are the only two options.
Then coming in and saying yeah well what about soap is irrelevant. Making it a fallacy. It's as if two people were arguing if salt or pepper is better to use on cooking food and then you came in and said yeah well there's actually a lot of seasonings you can use instead of just salt and pepper. Great, we know that but that's not what we were arguing as we only have salt and pepper.
How much are you getting paid, shill?
It's commission based
So if you had no soap available and shit on your arm, what would you use? Only paper? Or water? Your argument is fucking stupid. Of course people have different standards of cleanliness but the guy who doesnt clean his ass at all also has a different standard of cleanliness, and his standard is fucking disgusting.
Then maybe the answer could be something like a car wash machine: first pass with soap and then only water.
Honestly I would love that.
This is a trap, literally none of you want to hear why bidets are disgusting and I will not be dragged into this again.
Fuck bidets and everyone who recommends them.
Wrong.
Nope.
Yup, you're wrong. And you have a dirty ass.
Incorrect. I didn't even know what skidmarks were till my bidet insisting roommate described them. I thought she was making a sick joke.
So? Just because you don't have skid marks doesn't mean you don't have a dirty, stinky ass.
Also has nothing to do with your claim. The idea that washing your ass after a shit is somehow worse than not washing it is literally one of the dumbest takes I've ever seen.
You're nasty as fuck, dude.
This is the exact fucking harassment I get every fuckdamn time the bidet cultists catch wind, and I am so fuckdamn tired of it.
Listen, wetass, if you enjoy spraying fecal mist all over your bathroom while simultaneously drenching every square inch of your ass in bacterial medium that's on you. I know how to wipe and my partners have never had an issue going down town for dinner and NONE of them were ever shy about informing me on my odor.
You just want license to make your anal fetish public and its disgusting.
From the POV of someone who's never used a bidet, you come off like someone who was just looking for conflict.
You still have to wipe though, right? Using just water to clean it off your arm would still leave a stain. You have to make contact to rub away what remains somehow.
I've used a few bidets and while it was fun and they did an ok job there was no soap involved and I still had to wipe. I don't hate them, they make some sense, but a bidet is not magic.
I’ve used a bidet for a decade and the only reason I have to wipe is to dry off
Only if you have a solid one. If your poo is sticky it leaves a smear and even high pressure water won't shift, and that's when you need a wipe.
You've never used one and it shows.
I have. A bunch of times. They are in most of the hotel rooms I stay in.
Then you don’t use it well. Which is fine, it took me a while to get used to mine and use it effectively.
it's water. what do you think is "using it well"? the only way to properly sanitize an asshole is drench it in water and use a little soap. Change your diet several days beforehand if you want to have fun down there.
Unironically, positioning, pressure, and time. It took me a while to be fine with the pressure needed to actually clean anything, let alone letting it stay on long enough to thoroughly clean. Plus you gotta angle yourself so everything gets clean.
Saying “it’s water” proves you don’t know enough, which explains why you’ve had a bad experience. No shame in that, like I said it took me a while. Stick with it, it’s worth it.
nope no bad experiences over here. i'm familiar with the whole water versus butt situation. i think a bidet is fine but i don't want to walk out of the restroom with a wet butt, unless it's Wet Day. so regardless of bidet or no, i would prefer some sort of towel or soft paper.
That’s why you dry after lol. And again, you simplifying it so much is telling on yourself. That’s no problem but know that if you stick with it you may end up having a better experience.
so you dry your ass after using a bidet? paper or cloth?
Whichever, people use either.
Hey, fellow Spuds fan. I have a similar one but it's: "If you smeared peanut butter on the outside of a watermelon but wiped it off with dry toilet paper, wouldn't you expect it to still smell like peanut butter?
Honestly, I feel like they're both gonna smell like peanut butter about the same
Especially if you do that with a potato instead of a watermelon
