I have occasional bathroom issues caused by food sensitivities (damn your delicious yet toxic nature, nacho cheese).

These bathroom issues involves pooping a bunch of times in one day. The frequent pooping and wiping severely irritate my poor butthole, aggravating hemorrhoids and anal fissures.

I know lots of people around here swear by the miracle of bidets, but before I start shopping around, I’m wondering if there are any naysayers out there who just don’t like bidets, along with why that’s the case.

Bonus question: how do I use a bidet? Most of the instructions I’ve found are a bit delicate about the details. Anyone want to give me a detailed description of how and what to do?

My swollen, bloody anus thanks you.

    It’s not gross at all, just unfamiliar to many of us.

    Could I ask, would a bidet be comfortable for you to use or would you prefer a pot or bottle of water in any case?

      I do have a bidet, kind of… it’s one of those attachments you assemble onto the toilet seat. And I surely do prefer it bc of the convenience.

      When I’m on vacation thou, I get myself a bottle.

      In public toilets, I wetten some toilet paper beforehand and use that after I’m finished dry-wiping.

      In Indian/southeast Asian cultures people have rules for that - you only use your left hand to wash your butt and only use your right hand for food.
