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.
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?
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.
If the pressure is right u should be able to get everything, but yeah even then you need to dry it.
No. If you are using a decent bidet and using it correctly, you do not need to wipe. At most you'll need to dab dry, but some models have blow driers so this isn't necessary. The water is the friction you need unless your bidet has weak pressure or the stream is too dispersed.
Soap would always be better, but water alone is vastly superior and a complete replacement for wiping so long as something isn't wrong with the setup.
There are people who always have super solid movements that don't leave a trail. Many of us have a variety of textures that smear as they exit. A bidet removes the majority of it but never all, and wiping reveals what is left behind.

I get that, but my experience has been that even greasy, sticky shits get properly washed off my bum so long as I use a decent bidet and know how to use it properly. I haven't found an instance where a bidet has been insufficient and I don't mean to belittle anyone, but there is a bit of a learning curve and perhaps it was a lack of experience or the lack of quality equipment?
Poops that would leave me wiping 20x and with a sore, bleeding asshole while wiping are not an issue with a wash. I guess someone's poop could be very different from mine, but I haven't run into such an issue after using one for years unless I just didn't wash properly.

This can absolutely be true, but it's an indication of improper washing and the need for a repeat or a better bidet.
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 😆
Yeah... I probably should have watched some reviews before buying this.
"Dad's awfully noisy in the toilet these days!" "It's his new bidet! He says it cleans his arse to the bone!" "To the bone, you say?"
Yes, and if you don't have this, use one of these

Until it gets banned because obviously we love to keep le poop on our bums, hon hon hon.
I grew up in a Muslim country and I hate these. They are always either too strong or too weak. And they somehow always leak (no idea why).
Wet wipes ftw.
I highly recommend the rinseworks bidet. It is designed much better than the one from the pic. You don't have to shove your entire hand in the toilet to use it. https://rinseworks.com/
Thanks. That's a reasonable review. I hate that people claim bidets to be magic.

If you want to use soap, you can use soap. But would you rather clean you poop smeared hand with water or just wipe with toilet paper?
