u/Kevdog1800 · 3 pointsr/askgaybros

I got you boo boo!

My favorite method is to get a shower shot. This is the one I have and I love it, but it’s VERY easy to cause a bigger problem with a shower shot than you had to begin with (explanation below.) I bought my shower shot along with this shower head which I can discreetly unscrew the handheld shower head and screw in my shower shot when I need to use it and none of my roommates have a clue that I just rinsed out my butthole. It also allows me to control the water pressure on the shower head.

The better method to start with would is to go to the pharmacy and get some Fleet Enemas. Enemas or a Bulb Douche are the preferred beginning option because it’s easier to control how much water you’re using.

So, as a few other people have mentioned douching isn’t always necessary. If you have enough insoluble fiber in your diet, your body will clean about 95% of the debris out on its own. Insoluble Fiber helps to add bulk to your stool and hold it all together so when you go to the bathroom, there aren’t any little pieces left behind up there. Do not mistake that with soluble fiber which draws more water into your colon. I still prefer to give it a quick swish just for peace of mind, confidence, and comfort.

When you douche as far as water is concerned, less is more. You ONLY want to rinse out your rectum. This is why Fleet Enemas are good because they’re designed to hold the right amount of fluid. You DO NOT want to use too much water as it can over-fill your rectum and spill into your colon. If that happens, you can douche until the water runs clear, and then 10 minutes later a brown slurry begins dropping into your once clean rectum and... it’s NOT GOOD! If possible, you want to douche, and later have sex, after you have a good solid bowel movement. So go bop bop, shower and douche multiple times with a few ounces of saline/water until the water you push out runs clear a few times. Then soap and shower as normal.

Do NOT have sex immediately after douching. Despite your best efforts, chances are there is still some leftover water/saline in your rectum which you want to give 30 minutes or so for your body to reabsorb what’s left behind or you might spring a leak!

Now, douching is great in my opinion BUT you do not want to douche all the time. Douching strips healthy mucuses out of your rectum which potentially could increase your risks of contracting STDs. Your rectum is also home to a whole biological ecosystem which is part of a healthy immune and digestive system. The general consensus from doctors that I’ve read is that if you’re JUST rinsing out a small section of your lower GI like your rectum, it’s probably not not much of a concern but why upset your gut biome at all if you don’t have to. Douching is great! But don’t over do it.

I think that about covers it! If I missed anything or you have any questions feel free to ask!!!

u/jixie007 · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

Sorry for replying to an older thread, lol. I wanted to offer a couple suggestions.

  1. Distilled water is much cheaper than micellar water and is available basically everywhere. It doesn't have the cleansing ability of micellar water, but it's a good option for rinsing. I'd recommend trying this for your hair. Depending on how long your hair is, 1 gallon should be enough to wet your hair and rinse afterwards. Another option would be RO/DI water. Both options are free of chlorine, floride, and trace minerals.* Some places you can even refill your water bottles so you're not wasting a ton of plastic (I think WalMart does this?).

    * Distilled water and RO/DI are not great for drinking all the time, because you do need those trace minerals in your diet. ;) For drinking I suggest a Brita filter or something that will remove the chlorine taste.

  2. A vinegar rinse in your hair will help alleviate hard-water build up in hair (also clarifies / removes any leftover product). I went through a long natural hair-care phase and the only things stuck were ACV rinses and henna like 3 times a year. ACV leaves my hair softer and silkier than any conditioner, without weighing it down or making it greasy. I dilute 1 tbs to 1 cup water (but I have hella hair, so you may not need that much!).

  3. Likewise, if you're washing your hair daily, work on spacing out your washes until you're washing weekly (and if you can, longer!). Unless you use a ton of product, it's better for your hair and scalp. And for me, hair washing is the longest part of the shower routine, so you'll be spending less time in the shower period.

  4. The reason SLS is so common is because it is a better detergent for hard water, whereas actual soap tends to get scummy and leave a film or deposits. So a "beauty bar" like Dove or a body wash with SLS or ALS might be a better option than actual soap bars. Or try using a gentle shampoo as a body wash.

  5. You can get a water softening showerhead filter. Obviously it won't be as good as a heavy-duty whole-house filter system, but it should help and they're pretty easy to install. I actually got one, but can't get our old showerhead off and need to get our landlord to have it installed :P See if your parents are okay with this, especially if you're buying, hah. Here's the one I got and they have a hand-held version.

    Also hard water is drying and it's rough on your hair, but I'm not sure hard water would cause that degree of break out. It could be a reaction to chlorine. Or could be something else entirely. I'd check with your Dr next time you have a visit, just to see what they think.
u/bearsnseals · 3 pointsr/Gifts

Not sure if there's a way you can gift him a gift certificate to a local gym for a day pass or spa that has a sauna? My dads side of the family was Finnish and whenever we'd go visit we'd always take saunas together as a family. Part of that tradition was reading the "Finnish sauna rules" which I think were half joking, half real. Anyway here's a sign that he could maybe hang in his bathroom? Not sure if it's framed, so could get it framed and shipped. Timing may be trickier though..

Okay and this is a really weird gift and a little personal, but again popular with my dad (man with the Finnish blood who's in his mid-60s) and pretty much my whole family has one now. An attachable bidet for an existing toilet. It could honestly make his quality of life a little better. Installation is pretty simple too.

Also you could get him an immersion blender. Easy way to purée soups, smoothies, etc. and they're generally only $30.

Then there's this that could play into his mad scientist side. Again another popular gift that my Dad was into.

Hope this helps and you all have a great Christmas. So nice to hear that you're taking care of your father and keep in touch with him. I'm sure it means a lot to him.

u/romanomnom · 5 pointsr/AskDocs

Just to clarify a few things here. While internal hemorrhoids can bleed, they typically are not painful. The nerve endings are actually there to sense fullness in your rectum for you to defecate - not for sensing pain.

The pain you're having is most likely the same external hemorrhoid, or a new one that's popped up. Have you tried looking for it, or do you feel it when you go to wipe? You can of course have both internal and external hemorrhoids at the same time. The color of the blood is difficult to gauge if you're trying to google your symptoms, since it can vary with the color and substance of your stool.

How long have you been dealing with them (from the very first flareup)? While having a soft stool is ideal, you also don't want to switch to a pure fiber only diet (can actually make the stool harder w/o water), and you also don't want to irritate the bowels causing you to have to strain excessively.

Best recommendation is this:

  1. Begin taking stool softener everyday. They typically come in the 100 mg/capsule. Take two a day with a meal. Remember this is the Docusate Sodium. Not a laxative like magnesium or bisacodyl. If you're confused, just ask your pharmacist. Can be generic CVS/Walgreen brand.

  2. Start taking a daily probiotic. Also can be generic.

  3. Be mindful of your diet. There are certain foods/drinks that can irritate or cause flareups. Alcohol for example can cause constipation, while coffee can overstimulate the bowels leading to excess strain. Have things like this in moderation. Always stay hydrated. Remember, increasing your fiber isn't enough. If you don't get enough, start having some fiber gummies a day. But, also make sure to supplement your diet with water! Water helps create soft stools. This is important for the passage.

  4. For immediate relief, you'll likely need to start the Preparation H suppositories. Unfortunately, the ointment will not be enough and will not penetrate the irritated vessels. The suppositories typically bring relief within a few days. Go ahead and use the topical ointment to coat the outer layer of the suppository to help aid in the insertion.

  5. After a BM, and cleaning yourself off with toilet paper, use either Preparation H wipes or Tucks wipes. They both have Witch Hazel which is extremely effective at calming irritated hemorrhoids.

  6. If you can afford it, I'd recommend the following two items. One of the Luxe Bidet's from Amazon. Not only does it keep you cleaner and you use less toilet paper, the water is excellent for relief during flareups. Toilet paper can be abrasive and even touching the prolapsed hemorrhoid can cause pain. This is extremely affective, and I encourage anyone and everyone to make the switch. Super easy to install and work amazing. We have one in every bathroom of our home. The second thing is a Squatty Potty. I see they've upped the price. These were only $25 at one point, which is more reasonable for what they are. You could get away with purchasing your own stool for less if you look around. Essentially, elevating your feet allows your bowel to flow better, preventing access strain on the hemorrhoids.

  7. Lastly, I recommend to avoid working out until these go away. Once they're gone, resume exercise. Exercising will promote proper blood flow and encourage healthy BM's.


    Hope this helps - and by all means, if you don't find relief within a week, please go see a doctor. While it may seem embarrassing to you, it can be a more serious issue that requires medical intervention. Feel better!



u/Fistulotomy · 1 pointr/CrohnsDisease

I have Crohn's and have had 2 setons in place for 6 months while I wait for Remicade to hopefully shrink my fistulas. I can't comment on the constipation issue as I didn't have that problem but I'll share this...

Setons are challenging to your peace of mind, hygiene, and health. You have digestive acids and fecal particles slowly draining onto your skin and that can lead to skin irritation. Additionally, the seton material can cause friction pain in your butt cheeks if you walk vigorously or walk a lot. I find that talking wide strides or stretching my legs in any way causes the setons to pull on the skin that it goes through which also causes pain. Lastly, and perhaps most significantly, the setons make it very difficult to wipe effectively after a bowel movement because they can interfere with wiping motion while using toilet paper.

Given all that here are some recommendations:

  1. Buy a bidet. Having fecal matter stuck in your butt because you couldn't wipe well smells terrible, feels gross, and can lead to infection. I've put some links at the bottom of this message for affordable bidets you can install on your toilet or a portable bidet to use on the go. The stream of water will clean you very well after a bowel movement and then just use TP to pat yourself dry. If you have a removable shower head you can use that to wash yourself after a bowel movement if you don't want to install a bidet. I highly recommend the portable bidet. I take mine with me whenever I'm away from home and can carry it discretely in a small tote bag. If I need to move my bowels I can still clean myself properly.

  2. Take long baths daily. Your doctor probably recommended a sitz bath a few times per day for 15 minutes but I found that minimally helpful. I found true relief in soaking in a hot tub morning and night each day for as long as my schedule would allow. While in the tub palpate and press gently on any remaining abcesses to help them drain. I'd read in the tub, browse Reddit, watch Netflix, etc. often spending 90 minutes in a hot/warm bath because it felt so good.

  3. Carry protective pads. Some people like large gauze pads. I found it easier to use panty liners. Your drainage will smell and stain your clothes off you don't protect them. I through 2-3 pads per day now but was definitely more when my drainage was heavier. I keep a few in the portable bidet tote bag in case I need a fresh pad while I'm away from home.

  4. Be careful about the ibuprofen use - and get a colonoscopy. When I came down with abcesses and they found my fistulas my colorectal surgeon didn't think I had Crohn's because I didn't have a lot of common symptoms. It wasn't until we did a colonoscopy a few months after the seton placement that I learned that I actually do have Crohn's. NSAID's aggravate Crohn's so it might be prudent to switch to Tylenol until Crohn's is ruled out in your case.

  5. Calmoseptine Ointment. It's such a great barrier in protecting your skin from moisture irritation. It's like diaper cream with super powers. But if you find yourself without Calmoseptine diaper cream is better than nothing.

  6. You may need to choose different exercises for now. As I wrote above, the setons limit my range of motion and cause friction between my butt cheeks so running is an absolute no no. I've even had to modify my walking gait whereby I have shortened my student considerably and walk at a slower pace.

    I'm sorry to dump all this on you. It's an overwhelming time and throwing all this info at you may just make you feel more overwhelmed. But I hope that you'll come to find this information helpful and that it helps you maintain your dignity and sanity as you wait for the fistulas to heal.

    Bidet links: I own #2 and #3

    1 - Base $35 model, cold water only https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A0RHSJO

    2 - Deluxe $60 model, hot and cold water. Note that you'll need a hot water line close enough to the bidet to be able to run a line from the hot water source to the bidet. Check your bathroom before buying. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A0RX2UI

    3 - Travel Bidet:
    Not as effective as the built in models but I'm oh so glad to have it when I have to move my bowels if I'm not at home. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008CSDKSQ
u/abigaelb4 · 6 pointsr/BabyBumps

This is the one I have. You can buy one that has a hook up for hot water as well but my tap water isn't cold for whatever reason so it doesn't bother me to just have a cold water line. It uses the water that would eventually run to the tank. It's basically like using the water from your sink line--I know a lot of people think that its uses "toilet bowl" water but it doesn't. It's really easy to install. I actually have reinstalled it on a different toilet in my house and it worked on both. You do have to buy little spacers to attach to the bottom of your toilet seat since the bidet attachment makes the back of the seat sit a bit higher than the front. Again, they're really easy to install/uninstall. Definitely get the ones that screw on so they don't fall off one day into the toilet.

To use you just stay seated and SLOWLY turn on the knob. The one I have linked has SUPER HIGH water pressure but maybe there are models that aren't so strong. Do NOT turn it on while you're standing in front of it "just to make sure it works". I shot myself in the chest the first time I tested it hahahaha. Lots of guests also get curious and turn it on while standing in front of the toilet instead of sitting and end up getting shot in the chest or face. It's hilarious. My father in law for shot in the forehead with the water!

All in all its a 45$ investment if you use the same set up I did--definitely worth the money and if you can always upgrade to a different model if you end up liking it!

There are handheld type options that look like a shower head but they require maneuvering on the toilet and seem like more trouble than just staying seated.

I tried moist wipes for a while but a lot of them have alcohol in them and seemed to dry out more than they helped.

Sorry for the long winded response, hope it was helpful!

u/brilaxing · 20 pointsr/toastme

You are gorgeous girl! Keep your head up, you can get through this. Dry shampoo can help spruce up your hair besides washing it. I also suffer from eczema. Besides using over the counter hydrocortisone (steroid cream) for breakouts, here's a few things I've done that help me:

Only wash your clothes with scent free detergent. I currently use Arm & Hammer Sensitive skin free and clear. For fabric softener in the wash I use white vinegar. (It does not make your clothes smell and for bonus points it helps clean your washing machine)

For showers, invest in a shower filter. I know it sounds high maintenance but it helps filter out the chlorine in tap water. This results in healthier skin and hair. They sell some that attach to your current showerhead and some that replace your shower head.
Also scent free soaps. Aveeno or dove original works for me.
The last advice is drink more water! Good luck OP, have a wonderful day!

Edit: link issue
Edit 2: And lots of moisturizers! Such as Lubriderm, Curel or Cetaphil. Rub it 2-3 times a day head to toe. Once your eczema starts getting better, use it after you shower. As much needed.

u/turkeypants · 2 pointsr/hotones

Those are the nice ones. There's another category of budget ones from like $20-60 all over Amazon from a hundred Chinese clone companies. They're hit or miss on quality as the reviews show, but I figured they're so cheap, why not give it a try. It has been great. The nicer ones offer better options, heated water, aerated water, air dryers, fancy remotes and all this, and that would be great but I don't want to pay for it and my hot water line is across the room from the toilet, so a cheapo is fine for me.

I got this one and it has been great. People in the reviews talked about it blasting your starfish skin off and wow they weren't kidding. The pressure twisty knob on this one is an illusion - realistically there's only Off or Peel Paint. So I got one of these twisty valves to go between the bidet hose and the main water pipe so I could fine tune the pressure to more reasonable levels and that has been great. You want some pressure to get that stuff off of you but not so much that your proctologist runs out of the room crying.

Wet butthole cleaning is the only way to go, the only way that makes sense, and sometimes it's nice to just let it run while you contemplate things and see if any more wants to come out. Toilet paper lasts forever now because you just need a couple squares to dab dry.

u/thepanlady · 1 pointr/PCOS

OP, I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have zero experience with this particular thing, so I don’t have much of any use to add, but I did have two quick thoughts.

The first is that you may want to look into a NaPro doctor. There’s a religious component, which you can choose to ignore, but the benefit is that they don’t believe in birth control, so they won’t suggest it as a treatment. They do use cervical mucus as their basis for understanding where you are hormonally, so they may not be able to help, but I think it’s worth a shot.

The second is that you may want to get a bidet. I have this one that installs right on the existing toilet, and I love it. I have PCOS and rarely get periods, but when I do, it’s an absolute lifesaver. It feels much fresher than using wipes.

Whatever you do, I wish you the very best of luck.

u/snarfdarb · 3 pointsr/Advice

I have extensive experience with this!!

First and foremost, get her a bidet that attaches to the toilet. It will make post-pee/poo so much more manageable. Make sure to get one that is easy to operate and where she can turn the knob easily. Amazon has tons to choose from. Edit: This is the one I have experience with. Worked wonderfully and was easy to install.

Other helpful products:

-A loofah that suctions to the shower wall. Several at varying heights is even better. Also a loofah on a long handle for when she has more mobility.

-Shower protectors for her casts/bandages

-Finger foods she doesn't need utensils to use for when she gains some mobility back. Cut veggies, berries, and crackers are a good start.

-Pull-on pants without buttons. Don't have to be sweatpants, necessary. Again, you can find tons on Amazon.

-Slip-on shoes

Good luck to your mom!! If I think of anything else I'll let you know. :)

u/KatieTheDinosaur · 5 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

First, I'd recommend checking out r/SebDerm, there's a lot of great info there.

The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis isn't yet known, so treating it is complicated. It may be the cause of a fungal infection or it may be genetic. You may want to consider seeing a dermatologist to help determine what is causing yours and the best treatment.

The two shampoos usually recommended are Head & Shoulders (like you're looking into) and Nizoral A-D. They each have different active ingredients; Head & Shoulders uses pyrithione zinc, while Nizoral A-D uses ketoconazole. Neither is inherently better, just be aware that you may have to try both to figure out what your skin needs.

How is your water at home? If you have hard water, that may be irritating your scalp as well. I went over this in an archived thread a while ago:

>Hard water is water that has higher mineral content. The usual suspects are calcium, magnesium, and sometimes iron. These minerals are present as cations (ions with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge), usually with a 2+ charge. That 2+ charge destroys the surfactant properties of soap, so rather than a soft lather, the soap forms a precipitate (soap scum).
>
>That soap scum that is difficult to wash off the sides of sinks and showers is also difficult to wash off your skin. The residue left behind can clog pores and irritate the skin. If your skin feels dry and itchy out of the shower, or generally dull, the hard water may be the cause. It also affects hair and scalp health. If your scalp feels dry and itchy, or like shampoos don't quite clean your roots, it's likely because of the soap scum buildup.
>
>If you're able to shower in an area with soft water, you can actually feel the difference. The water is almost slippery in comparison, and the soap feels lighter when you lather it. It also tastes a little sweeter, in my opinion.

Installing an entire water softener is often pricey, but there are decent filters that install in-line for your shower head that you can get for under $50.

There are also a number of home remedies that are recommended by users, but often have less research. It may be worth looking into as some people have success with these.

Anecdotally, a shower head filter was the best for me when I dealt with scalp irritation, this is the one I purchased. I can't say for sure that it was seborrheic dermatitis as I never went to a dermatologist, but the symptoms were very similar. Additionally, I use apple cider vinegar as a scalp treatment a couple times per week to give it a good cleanse. I dilute some and put it into a spray bottle, spray my scalp, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before showering. Sometimes I'll soak in a tub with some apple cider vinegar and that makes the skin on my body feel a bit exfoliated (ACV is acidic) and clears up any breakouts. u/PoopDoopTrixie wrote up an entertaining and informative review about apple cider vinegar baths.

Seborrheic dermatitis is often a long term problem, there isn't always a "cure". Similar to people who have sensitive skin or are acne prone, it's more about figuring out a routine that works for you. Hopefully this information is helpful, the best of luck to you!

> getting her feeling 'intimate and relaxed' with a massage first? Loosen up the muscles, help her forget about work/life before you start the foreplay?

Yes, exactly!

Massage can be the gateway for many women who are slow to warm up. "Foreplay" doesn't really work for a lot of us because our clits aren't responsive until we're already warmed up.

Some other things that can help: a long, hot bath or shower; meditation; a glass of wine or a few tokes of good weed; having a big block of time with no responsibilities and no interruptions; feeling especially loved and cherished. (Massage helps with that last one too.)

It's a pity she didn't try the vibes. I need a lot of help to get to my first orgasm, and introducing vibrators into both foreplay and sex has made a huge difference.

Some women who won't use vibrators find that water is a great masturbation aid. Maybe get her a pulsating handheld showerhead extension? Like this, for example. They're also great for bathing pets and little kids.

If she doesn't like the showerhead idea, she can lie back in the tub, stick her legs straight up, and slide her pussy under the faucet, or she can use a waterproof vibrator in the tub or shower.

But start with a2freema's idea. There are very few wives and moms who don't love getting a good massage!

  • Ok, I was going to post this shower head but I see someone else has already done that and it certainly does seem like the most awesome shower head on Amazon. Now, I'm quite new to RAoA, so I hope this isn't considered heresy, but I found another shower head that also looks pretty awesome, but sadly is NOT available on the amazon website. (Is this considered bad form? Will I get banned? I'm so scared right now!)

I'm two weeks post-op.

People here all have fantastic suggestions so far!
I used:

  1. Fruit of the Loom bras from Wal-Mart, look like this. They were cheaper at the store vs. Amazon. I specifically like this bra because it's shaped like a tank top -- not a racerback, which means I can wear more clothes with it without straps showing.
  2. Curad Non-Stick pads that look like this. That's what my doctor shoved in my post-op bra, so I just got more of them. Now I don't need them anymore. I didn't even finish the one box of 12.
  3. Husband installed this bidet for me. The dignity of cleaning my own butt after such a challenging surgery was nice.
  4. Someone else said heating pad -- yep.
  5. Consider pre-making some food -- something really healthy and easy to eat. I made a diet soup that is meant for a cleanse because it had a ton of fiber (cabbage, lots of other veg) and was easy to heat a little at a time. I can provide the recipe link if you want it. I also took psyllium fiber tablets every day and drank dark coffee each morning, while drinking as much water as I could. And I lost some extra weight with the soup, too. For breakfast, I only ate oatmeal with cinnamon and bananas since that's so easy to digest. I had no problems, uh, getting the job done with all that fiber.
  6. We installed a handheld shower head. I had my husband around to help me bathe, and it made things easier for both of us. I sat in a shallow bath and he helped me clean with the shower head. In the shallow bath, I used some scented epsom salts to help me relax. The first couple of baths were uncomfortable and awkward and it helped.
  7. Tylenol. I weaned myself off the drugs after 3-4 days. In the morning, I took half the dose of Tylenol (which is every 3 hours vs. 6) to see how my pain was, then I'd either take another one on time, wait a while, or take half a pain pill. I did this until I was using only Tylenol and eventually nothing or only one dose a day of it.
u/creativedabbler · 2 pointsr/mildlyinteresting

I’d be happy to offer you guidance on your journey into the amazing world of bidets.

I started out with this one:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A0RHSJO/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1523776662&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=bidet&dpPl=1&dpID=419LXSZM6YL&ref=plSrch

It’s an awesome bidet and does the job perfectly, is super easy to install and for $35 you can’t go wrong.

However about six months ago I decided to splurge and get the king of all bidets, the Toto Washlet:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00UCIOWRM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523776789&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=toto+washlet&dpPl=1&dpID=31uvbuDPUAL&ref=plSrch

It’s expensive but worth it; the water is heated, it has different speeds and the nozzle can move back and forth, and the best part is that it dries your butt afterwards, which is amazing.

One thing about bidets though—for us guys, unless you don’t mind your balls being sprayed with water, it is kind of necessary to make sure they’re out of the way, or figure out a position where the water doesn’t hit them.

  • These socks are the softest, comfiest socks I've ever owned.
  • These leggings are fleece lined and super warm
  • This is just the best dress ever. CowCow has a lot of great prints, and the dresses are great quality.
  • This hat, just because.
  • This so you never have to smell poop again.
  • The best shower head ever.
  • This hairbrush, because it gets tangles out like magic and doesn't even hurt while doing so.
u/vale_fallacia · 5 pointsr/tifu

As someone who takes narcotics for pain, may I recommend Miralax? It dissolves in coffee easily and helps keep the constipation to a minimum.

Softer poop will be much easier to pass, talk to the docs about how much Miralax you need.

(I'm not a medical professional, please talk to an expert before taking new drugs!)

You're also going to need a bidet attachment for your toilet. That will help clean your butt without lots of painful wiping. I recommend this one, it's easy to install and use: "Luxe Bidet Neo 120 - Self Cleaning Nozzle - Fresh Water Non-Electric Mechanical Bidet Toilet Attachment (blue and white)" https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00A0RHSJO/

Good luck with your butthole, OP, I hope you heal quickly. Remember that the embarrassment will fade, accidents happen :)

Your surgeon should be able to answer your question on what to expect. What level of activity you'll be able to do. They may even be able to connect you with a home health care aid that can come check on you.

You can prep ahead of time. If you know you will be mostly confined to one room, set it up with everything you'll need.
Microwave and mini-fridge and you've got yourself a make-shift kitchen. Surround yourself with snacks.

Get a bed pan/urinal if you think you won't be able to make it the bathroom often.
Use a handheld bidet to clean yourself (https://www.amazon.ca/Brondell-GS-70-GoSpa-Travel-Bidet/dp/B008CSDKSQ?th=1&psc=1&source=googleshopping&locale=en-CA&tag=googcana-20&ref=pd_sl_5ufcnqqecz_e) or a facecloth and bowl of warm water and soap. This will save you from needing to shower and still leave you feeling fresh.

Maybe you are underestimating your friends. Don't be afraid to ask them for help. Hopefully they'll feel that if they are ever in that situation they can call on you for help, and the friendship will be that much stronger for it.


u/petersen1998 · 4 pointsr/milliondollarextreme

Going paperless is still in fashion in parts of Asia. But for me, a guy born & raised in America, it was a leap of faith about a year ago when I installed a bidet under the toilet seat and no amount of Internet videos & articles could truly prepare me for that first blast. But here I am, almost a year later and I'd never go back. Benefits I've noticed include:

  • Hemorrhoid Relief: Because my work keeps me mostly in a chair at a desk, I used to have some terrible pain down there. Really, really terrible. We're bloody stools that looked like a Nightmare on Elm Street special toilet edition. They took a few months to go away, but today I have no problems unless there is an extremely hard stool.

  • Spicy Foods, bring it on! It used to be a real pain about 12 hours after I ate hot spicy foods. Now I wash away the heat from down beneath.

  • Cleaned to Pristine: Toilet paper will always leave poop residue on your bunghole. Wipe all you like, it's still there. With water, I'm 100% clean every time.

  • Great cool down after heavy exercise: On a hot summers day when you go out and run or lift or whatever, a great way to catch your breath and cool down is to sit on a cold bidet and let it take your breath away. Yeah, this one's a little weird but it truly is a great cool down.

  • Diarrhea Be Dammed: On those rare occasions when I'm sick with the flu, hourly bowel movements used to really irritate the backside because of all the wiping. With my bidet I said goodbye to chapped anus.

  • Go Deep: For the brave, you can actually center the stream and go for a minor colon flush.

  • The Humor: The face my 5 year old son made the first time he decided to play with the lever while sitting on my toilet will forever be burned into my sense of humor. I never would have known just how BIG his eyes can get. Absolutely priceless.

  • $Money$: Every dollar you're not spending on toilet tissue is a dollar you can spend towards sitting on a beach with the beverage of your choice.

  • Never running out of the Important Papers. (self explanatory, you KNOW what I'm talking about)

  • Environmentally Friendlier: Toilet paper actually is bad for the environment. The process to make it requires massive amounts of water and chemicals. I don't think anyone is clear cutting rain forests to make toilet tissue, but it does take trees and electric energy. After the fact, toilet tissue has to be broken down at the sewage plant and a portion of it ends up as a gray matter that ends up in landfills (take a tour of your local sewage plant to see what I mean).

    I have found that it's healthier, cleaner and more environmental to give up toilet tissue. I've often wondered how much of an impact it would if everyone on Earth made the switch.

    The Bad:
    While there are portable 'squeeze water bottle' bidets available, I find them impractical to carry with me. So on the rare occasions I'm not 'making the morning deposit' at home and I have no choice but to paper wipe, it irritates because I'm not used to it.

    How it works:
    A device connects under your toilet seat with a small water sprayer that showers your 'down there'. A water supply line connects under the toilet's water tank using a T adapter. It's actually a pretty simple DIY project to install, but make darned sure you have all the plumbing supplies you need before you start if this is your only toilet. There are heated models available. My largest fear at the beginning was the cold water part. Heated models require wiring and are much more expensive. I decided to try the cold model first and see how it went. Glad I did, I'd never want to use heated water now. The first couple goes were a bit chilly, but it got easier every time.

    http://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Ne.../dp/B009ZLRSJ6/

    So there it is, my tell all deepest darkest secret. Ask me any questions, or if you're in the Bidet Brotherhood (or sisterhood) share your own experiences.
u/iheartmyname · 6 pointsr/shittingadvice

I recently made two purchases which have rocked my shitting world. The first is the Squatty Potty - crappy name, good idea. It changes your pooping posture to one more like squatting, which means less pushing, less hemorrhoids and less wiping. After hearing about this, I tried for a while just putting my feet on the trash can and other things, but it's way easier and more comfortable to just get the stool (in my opinion). EDIT: Read closer and see that you're already squatting, but I still recommend the stool if you don't have one.

Second, I got a bidet attachment for my toilet. There are MANY to choose from, but I got the lowest priced one on Amazon and have been very pleased. This is a simple device that just provides a stream of cool water to your bum to spray off the poo. Then you use a bit of toilet paper or cloth (your bum is clean, so no poo stains to wash off) to just dry off.

Between the two, I barely use toilet paper anymore, and I also used to need to use quite a lot to clean up. The downside to these purchases is that I'm now completely spoiled at home and miss them deeply when I travel.

u/calcuttacodeinecoma · 2 pointsr/yourmomshousepodcast

If you're re-doing your bathroom, maybe a fancy mom-level bidet is in the cards for you, but a year ago or so I bought one of these Astor Bidets from Amazon. $25, I feel at this point, everyone should be blasting their asshole with water. Super easy to install, seems to be a laser guided, heat seeking water stream as it hits the spot with stunning accuracy.

Has variable speeds, but full blast is total hole destruction, unnecessary. The downside versus a pro-bidet is the water is cold only, I'd imagine warm water bidets feel amazing but surprisingly, the cold water isn't bad at all.

It's a gamechanger, best $25 I ever spent.

u/Derp_Stevenson · 2 pointsr/TrollXChromosomes

I never thought it would be weird, I just thought they'd be expensive and never got around to looking into them. Last week I saw someone on reddit mention a nice affordable Luxe bidet I could get on amazon for under $40, and I figured why not pull the trigger. It was super easy to install, and it seriously is the greatest home improvement purchase I've ever made.

It's like washing your butt in a shower after every #2, just dry with a little bit of toilet paper and you're done. Amazing!

Jazak Allah Khair for helping him out. No need to get angry. Remember that what you teach him will be written as a reward for you every time he does it. It's a great opportunity to gain a lot of rewards.

I am not sure about which you are talking.

If it's about Wudu, then explain to him that we are taught as Muslims to not waste water. And that getting water to where it should be is enough (i.e., in Wudu)

If it's cleaning up after visiting the bathroom then maybe you could consider [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Astor-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Toilet-Attachment/dp/B003TPGPUW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1404518306&sr=8-1&keywords=bidet) Or maybe swing by Home Depot and explain to them that you want to install a water spray bidet. It's very doable and here is a [video] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sT_wfTv7UI).

Good luck and May Allah reward you.

u/shartmonger · 2 pointsr/Plumbing

Looks like iron to me. CLR will probably fix it, but I'm not sure what it's called over there. It's a simple acid that removed minerals. Just soak the whole shower head in it.

Once you get the grout clean, seal it. If you know the exact grout used it will be helpful.

Lastly, you might try getting a shower head filter. Ugly, but works well. Makes your hair wash better as well.

Ideally you want to treat the water itself, but if you don't own the home that's probably not an option, and if you do it's not a quick and easy job, with the exception of a whole house filter that can usually be installed with simple hand tools, assuming it is a push-to-fit system and doesn't require soldering or anything exotic.

Do other parts of the house have this problem? If not, it may be the electric shower disintegrating, possibly because of acidic water.

Do you know what your pipes are made of?

Become more budget minded:

Start cooking more instead of eating out or buying frozen meals. Eat before you go shopping so you don't buy a whole bunch of junk. :)

Try going without a smart phone (basic phone) or cable plan (just internet).

Shop at thrift stores.

Create and sell thing on FB marketplace, Etsy, LetGo, eBay, etc.

Start saving a % of your income each each. Lets say you make $20,000. Attempt to save 25% of that.

Recently did the same thing. I haven't quite got it figured out but it's getting better.

After I co-wash i do a ACV rinse then condition again. I also wash my hair with ION shampoo from sally's every other week. By far the most improvement I saw was when I bought a filter for my shower.

AquaBliss High Output Universal Shower Filter with Replaceable 3-Stage Filter Cartridge - Chrome https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7AZB96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1FIkybPRD52SF

Super easy to install, just unscrew your shower head screw this on and then attach your shower head back on. No tools needed! It doesn't filter all the minerals out. They have ones that do but they are expensive and require a bit more work. This did help immensely though.

Like i said, my hair is nowhere near what it was when I moved to Florida 2 months ago but it a hell of a lot better than it was a week after I got down here. Before I installed the filter I was having a hard time combing my hair when it was completely saturated with conditioner.

Good luck!

Edit : Just re-read and saw your did try a new shower head. Damn.

u/ashe3 · 1 pointr/everymanshouldknow

All I've used are Luxe Bidet brand, though I've used several different models.

The first 3 installs I did were essentially this one, though I think slightly different:

MB110: http://www.amazon.com/Luxe-MB110-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Attachment/dp/B001KKRCFA/ref=sr_1_5?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1421506832&sr=1-5&keywords=luxe+bidet

Afterwards, woot.com had a sale on the Neo line, and I picked up one fresh water (http://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Neo-180-Non-Electric/dp/B00A0RMQ1E/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1421506832&sr=1-1&keywords=luxe+bidet) and one heated (http://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Neo-320-Non-Electric/dp/B00A0RX2UI/ref=sr_1_2?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1421506832&sr=1-2&keywords=luxe+bidet).

Given my experience, I really do prefer either of the Neos.

Temperature: I'm indifferent about the temperature honestly. Only the 320 model has hot water piped in. It's like washing your hands. Wait for the warm/hot water or just live with the not-cold water coming through? Pro-tip: If you want to pre-warm the water, turn on the sink's hot water while doing your business.

Cleaning: Neos have a self-clean function and shield for the spigots. The old one only is shielded while the spigot is up.

"Front cleaning": Neos have two spigots. One aimed at the front, one aimed at the back. I have never had the need to clean my junk after I pee, so I've not used it, but the wife appreciates it.

Control: The old one has a turn dial to control flow. The neos have a nice lever that would remind you of how you control flow with modern sinks.

Hope this helps. Feel free to PM with any more questions.

u/Xenomac · 3 pointsr/Frugal

Here is the item that I bought. It's REALLY simple to install and it should take no longer than 5-10 minutes.

What does it do? Pretty much when you are done pooping it shoots water on your asshole completely cleaning your asshole out. And when I mean on your asshole I MEAN RIGHT THERE, ON YOUR ASSHOLE. Note: If you have hemorrhoids it's best to get that fixed first before using the bidet.

How does it do it? (I'm bad at explaining things.) There's a diverter tube that get connected to the tube that flows into your toilet, that attaches to the bidet. It uses water pressure from your house and jets the water onto your backside. You may have to move your butt around to make sure the water gets your whole butthole. Then you get up and wipe your butt with toilet paper. There should be no poop, only water on the toilet paper. It's 95% one wipe day, EVERYDAY!

Put it like this: Imagine if you got poop on you arm right now. How would you clean it up? Would you be happy with using a paper towel and leaving it as in? No, you probably would run water on your arm first then wipe it off with the towel. What you are pretty much doing right now on your backside is being happy/content with using just the toilet paper to clean your backside and being happy. That's just gross. That $55 that I spent on my bidet has LITERALLY paid for itself in less than a week. The feeling of actually being clean back there feels amazing. (Note: I do NOT work for LUXE bidet or know anyone that does nor am I an investor.) Buy it, try it, and you'll be thanking me later. Unless you have hemorrhoids.

As a side note Someone in r/keto recommended this little godsend to literally save our butts during the process. It really helps as I completely understand how clean up can become a literal pain in the ass.

It's easy. I used a wrench and a socket set and I think a flathead. I'm not very "handy" and I got it installed perfectly with no problems. This is the one I added to my other toilet:

Astor Bidet Fresh Water Spray Non-Electric Mechanical Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment CB-1000 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TPGPUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_q.aBxbNSS18MT

I don't know why the price went up like $40. Seems it's only available via third party sellers right now. Look up similar ones. They're all pretty much the same.

As for guests seeing it, my dad fell in love with it so I ordered him one last year for Father's Day. My gf was apprehensive then admitted she liked it.

u/mastersword130 · 2 pointsr/todayilearned

>I think they're gross/unsanitary.

lol this line is really funny. Nothing is more gross or unsanitary than wadding a piece of tissue and smudging crap around in hopes it comes off, even better with wet wipes. Bidets just use water pressure from the line to clean you ass clean, no smudging around down there. After you just pat your butthole dry with a little bit of tissue paper.

>I mean you take a crap, or pee, it gets on the side of the toilet bowl, presumably on the bidet opening, then you're shooting that up into your butthole/crotch region?

this is the one I use and you can see when not in use the nozzle goes back into the guard. Even if you have spraying shit the nozzle will never be hit, also make sure to install it in a right angle so far back enough so your shit won't hit it but enough so the water pressure can clean you off.

The issue is 100% no there at all, and you will clean it like any other product you have in the bathroom. Just anti-bacterial wipes or whatever like how you will regularly clean your toilet bowl.


It truly changed the way of cleaning myself after I use the toilet, so much cleaner now compared to wet wipes or toilet paper only. People laughed at me for buying one until they used it, now they all bought one.

u/sarautu · 14 pointsr/BuyItForLife

My family had a $20 limit for years. About 15 years ago, my mom got me a used VCR out of the thrift store - left the $17.99 sticker on it so the whole family could see she stayed under the 20 buck limit. That was a huge surprise. It was a luxury I couldn't have afforded on my own (they were selling for $200 back then) and it's still running fine today.

So I guess it depends on your recipient. but maybe you can make that $20 go toward something both long-lasting, and something your giftee really wants. Luxury items are affordable if the stars align.

as far as buying new under the BIFL flag, I'd over-spend by 4 bucks and get this showerhead.

Or pick a book they'd love off amazon. Books are archaic, but make great gifts. espcially the funny, coffee-table variety.

For real though, bidets are the truth and seriously neither expensive nor hard to install.

u/luminous_delusions · 2 pointsr/FancyFollicles

Haha, probably not! The only ways I've learned to deal with hard water are either water softening systems (which are installed in a whole house's plumbing), getting a filtered showerhead, and/or using a shampoo that will counter-act hard water effects. I'm dealing with the issue myself in that the hard water here is turning my hair super brassy faster than I can keep up with it.

If you're staying in a place long enough to receive packages, I'd definitely get a shower filter and maybe some shampoo to help. If you can't the best thing is to just rinse your hair with filtered water or do an apple cider vinegar rinse to remove build-up from the water. I actually just ordered this filter since it seems to have the best reviews and a lot of them mention it improving their hair. The shampoo I got was Ion's Hard Water Shampoo (Sally Beauty brand) that I'd seen recommended a lot on other sites. I can't really comment on either since they haven't arrived yet, though. Sorry I can't be more help!

You should get one, they are awesome. I replaced my old shower head with a removable handheld one when I had surgery on my pelvic bone and needed to use a shower chair since my doctor told me I wasn't allowed to stand in the bathtub for about two months (if I fell in the bathtub during that time I'd have literally broken my butt). The initial plan was to put it back after, but I discovered that handheld showers are amazing.

Take the handheld shower down to clean the walls in the shower (rinsing your grout cleaner or whatever off the tiled walls). Hold the handheld shower so the cold water doesn't hit you when you first turn on the shower head instead of having to get in to the shower once it's already on. Use the handheld shower to better direct water flow to thoroughly rinse your groin area.

They're $20-$40 and totally a game changer and you don't realize how much better things could be until you have one. (Edit: I have this one by Delta for $25)

u/Anydudewilltellyou · 1 pointr/HomeImprovement

I applaud your desire, but 221 parts per million of total dissolved solids is actually pretty good. The World Health Organization says that water with a TDS (total dissolved solids) of 1,000 PPM is “acceptable” and under 600 PPM is “good.”

You can do all that you've researched. I have no idea how long you will get out of those filters. Gallons per year is going to determine their longevity; but I wouldn't be surprised if this costs several hundred dollars a year to maintain.

You'd be better off (read as cheaper) to install an R.O. system for drinking, but leave the rest of the house (dishwasher, clothes washer, and toilets) on city water. If you want a nice shower, look at the cartridges:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7AZB96

Seems like a lot of work for a few hundred parts per million; but of course it is entirely your call.



u/hemorrhagicfever · 29 pointsr/funny

They are super nice. I just bought a cheep one a year ago and i'm SOOOO glad I did.

But yes, you want TP after you bidet, but just like 2 squares to dry.... But if you dont have any tp, it's just slightly annoying to have a completely clean but slightly damp tush. Annoying vs unlivable.

If you're curious This is the one I suggest. It's $35. I did a lot of research and this one is well reviewed for the price. Installation is about 10 min, you have to unscrew the hose for the toilet, screw it back on, then take of the toilet seat, and put it back on. $35 is throw away money for most people. And you'll save loads on TP so it'll pay for it's self easy. And of course if you ever get the burning shits, you'll be blessing my name.

Seriously, just do it.

u/streetfools · 5 pointsr/ZeroWaste

I have this one and it is a game changer. Totally recommend it. Not only do you use little or no TP, but the feeling of being totally clean afterwards is awesome. I used to pride myself on being a company time pooper, now I wait til I get home (if I can help it) to use the bidet.

u/vidyjagamedoovoolope · 296 pointsr/gaming

Fucking love my bidet. Cheap and easy to get, and I don't wanna poop anywhere else.

Also you used the wrong comparison operator. That means toilet paper is the best

Edit: for reference people.. What I use is something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Luxe-MB110-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Attachment/dp/B001KKRCFA

Cheap.. Cheaper than the toilet paper you waste, you have a fresh just showered bum. And it really is amazing. Seems like everybody is skeptical at first, including me. I guess in the US were taught that paper makes your ass no longer smell like shit. That isn't the case, can confirm.

Edit 2: btw my SO loves it for after sex, it hits the vagina real good and clean it up then too, if you aim it towards there. So less dripping for hours after sex

u/soeasilyexcited · 43 pointsr/SquaredCircle

idk if it's one of the better ones, but this is the one I have, and it works great:

I actually bought it a few years back after I saw it linked in a random Reddit thread. Definitely the best thing Reddit has done for my life.

u/VikingWarDrum · 1 pointr/todayilearned

There's a little shower head type thing that is retracted underneath the bottom of your toilet seat but like 8" down(The seats on these are pretty tall) and moves out a little and shoots up stream at like a 30 degree angle at your rear door and sprays it clean. It just all goes off you and down into the water. I've never had any on the nozzle thing or the bowl of the toilet. It's all a rather clean process. The water hose for it is split from the water hose that you have from the sink for drinking water, never from in the toilet....

Thats the one I got. Its pretty good and worth spendin 35 bucks on just to see if you like it or not. If not it was just 35 bucks but if you do it is gonna be a game changer. No more mud butt, endless wiping on messy days, etc.

It was pretty easy to install with basic tools. They have a higher end one that's got hot water hookups that would be cool during winter. Summer around here the cold water is warm anyway in my neck of the woods.

First time was a little weird but after that it was awesome.

u/carousalcat · 1 pointr/AsianBeauty

SecretLifeofABioNerd once talked about this one in her videos. xox
I've never tried it, but always been interested after she said it helped her skin and hair, honestly there's so many out there that I haven't shifted through all the reviews to see which seem like the best. It's been on the back burner for me, for a long time, even though I should really look into it.

u/sinewavesurf · 2 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

I second this! We got a bidet attachment a few months ago and aside from the obvious rinse after #2 which is great, I love it for cleaning up after sex and during my period. Serious life improvement. I'll share the link to the one I got from Amazon, it's only $45 and has a "woman" setting which aims more forward than the regular setting. It installed in about ten minutes. Totally worth it imo.

  1. This one looks really cool. I love the combo because you don't have to get cold while you use the handheld thing. And it has cool lights.

  2. My favorite shower ritual is letting my cat get in the tub with me while the water is heating up. He likes to stand on the dry part and drink the water that pools in the tub before I turn on the shower. Then when I turn on the shower I put the lining over him so he doesn't get sprayed with water. Maybe one day he won't need the liner =)
u/ucanthandlethetruff · 1 pointr/AskReddit

Buy her a bidet toilet attachment. This will give you the chance to talk at great length about how clean it gets you. That will start her thinking along those lines. You may have to get yourself one first then act like it's the second coming of Christ to justify getting her one too. I have one it's awesome you'll feel cleaner than you ever have before and you'll hook your girl up at the same time. They are cheap on Amazon.

u/fireking99 · 1 pointr/todayilearned

This is the one my gf installed in 20 minutes. It has both ass and female parts cleaning nozzles and works SOOOO well! I almost hate pooping anywhere else but at home just because I love how the bidet does such a good job. Also, really good to freshen up before and after sex with :)

u/koalafied_human · 2 pointsr/DMT

Haha, I'm glad I could be of some help! Also if you really want to be a super pooper, get yourself one of these bidet attachments. I picked one up a couple months ago and it forever changed my views on pooping. It's like a power washer for your anus. I can't recommend it enough.

Also if you plan on snagging one, don't bother to get the hot water version. That's because the hot water has to heat up first just like how your sink works because it's tapping off the same line. You get used to the cold water version and don't even notice it after the first couple uses.

u/FirstPlayer · 3 pointsr/DoesAnybodyElse

I pretty much went to the Amazon top-rated ones in the category; I got this one first and it's great, then when we built another bathroom next to my bedroom I bought one of these because I was curious about the warm water (it's nice, but it was a bit more difficult to install and takes time to warm up anyway). Both of them were a lot cheaper when I bought them 3-4 years ago; it looks like the top-rated one right now is this; I can't personally speak about it but the ratings are good. :)

Also I forgot to mention in my first post: toilet paper lasts basically forever. Using four to six squares just to dry off it takes me over three months to use a single roll.

u/SmallLady · 3 pointsr/BabyBumps

GET A WASHLETTE

They have these things everywhere in Japan, and after we got home from our honeymoon, I had to have one.

They are kinda pricey, but if you look around, I got mine from costco for less than $300 canadian.

You will have the cleanest and happiest asshole I promise you, and when you wipe, everything comes away clean!

It will also be great for after birth, because you can use the wash function to spray water while you pee hot lava fire.

u/CajunVagabond · 2 pointsr/AskWomen

Or buy a great $35 bidet and save hundreds on toilet paper! Best DIY quality of life purchase I've made, took 10 minutes. Especially helpful certain times of the month.

u/headzoo · 2 pointsr/NoStupidQuestions

Would you rather wash poop off your hands with water, or with a piece of paper? Which do you think would get your hand cleaner? Using a bidet is a bit like taking a shower after each poop; your rear end will be squeaky clean. They're also cleaner because you don't need to rub your hand close to your dirty butt like you do with toilet paper or wet wipes. You only need to.. dab your rear end a couple times to dry it off.

For those who are curious, bidet attachments run about $40 on Amazon. https://amzn.com/B00A0RHSJO

u/pocket-ful-of-dildos · 2 pointsr/nottheonion

This might be tmi but have you ever used a bidet? I got one on Amazon like this that hooks up to a normal commode. It's pretty forceful even on the lowest setting and you can really get it blasted into nooks and crannies. For that fresh clean feeling! And it's not a bad way to wake up in the morning ;)

u/lilmackie · 2 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

Amazon is a great place to check! I picked up this one and I've been using it for years now. It goes on all my travels. It's not necessarily compact but for the sake of feeling happy, healthy and clean, I'll take it!

u/InkedAlchemist · 1 pointr/NoPoo

u/Willawonka · 2 pointsr/SkincareAddiction

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Yes a million times over. The water in my city is so bad that I used to get out of the shower feeling like I had been in a pool. This is the filter that I ended up getting and it's seriously amazing. I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate this little thing. It has helped my skin feel noticeably softer, my hair feels much cleaner and doesn't get as greasy as quickly as it did before. I have way less dandruff, and I even feel like it has helped my acne as well. I just feel much cleaner.

I honestly would reccomend one of these shower filters to anyone living in a city that has questionable water. The filters only need to be replaced every 6 months, and they're only $10 on amazon. It's a no brainer imo.

u/afarkas2222 · 1 pointr/AskMen

Yes, this happened to me frequently. Best advice I got was to use a bidet to replace wiping. So happy I did. Water is the best solvent for this kind of cleaning and you don't have to use dry scratchy paper that never really gets it done. It was a game changer for me. I don't feel civilized without access to a bidet. Less than $30 on Amazon. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003TPGPUW/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1420015165&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

u/1cyberdude · 4 pointsr/sexover30

Maybe the easiest thing to do is take control over it (Buy lube - seriously.. buy it). You know you're interested in it so why not prep before hand - clean yourself in the shower, climb into bed, hand him your newly purchased bottle of lube and suggest some back door action. Instead of worrying about how to take 8-inches though, start with a finger and gradually build up to it just to see how you and your body likes it. It should give you a better idea of how your IBS will handle it and it'll be slow enough that you can slowly introduce bigger things into the mix if you desire as you go along. Keep it casual and fun. You're playing in the backdoor - at some point you're going to see stuff but it shouldn't be a mood killer, what did you expect :)

On a side note - IBS or not, if you're worried about cleanliness, you can always install a bidet toilet attachment. I installed 2 of them in my house now and I swear by them. Not messy at all.

I really wouldn't recommend him going in without ever working smaller things in the mix. I'm his size and if i were to try that in the very beginning my gf's would never want to try it again.

u/StarvingIsVerboten · 3 pointsr/CrohnsDisease

I feel like I post about this here at LEAST once a month. Get a bidet. They're cheap as hell and they make a WORLD of difference. Some people here think it's "weird" but hey, so is shatting blood out of your rear on a daily basis, so they need to get the fuck over it. After the first week of using it I decided it was THE single best purchase I have ever made on the internet BAR NONE. I turned one of my non-IBD friends onto it and he arrived at the same conclusion. We always feel clean, and we now like to joke regularly about being superior to the rest of society on account of having immaculate assholes. The paper still plays a role, but I just use it to pat my ass dry after washing.

I have one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Luxe-MB110-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Attachment/dp/B001KKRCFA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1417520121&sr=8-5&keywords=luxe+bidet

There are even cheaper options too -- just search for "bidet," anything with a lot of good reviews will be fine.

Really, wiping alone is a pretty fucking crude way of cleaning anything. It's like wiping melted chocolate and peanut butter off an old weathered picnic table with a dry paper towel.

P.S. I used to think I'd need a heated version that sprays warm water, but I've actually discovered that the cooler winter ground water is quite soothing to my irritated asshole when I'm having one of those "4-5 poops before I can leave the house" mornings. Also, wet wipes are seriously not shit compared to a bidet. They're still nice, but there is no comparing the two.

u/jdlogicman · 1 pointr/PacificCrestTrail

I assume cleaning myself, not my cookware (no cleanup in FBC method, just pack out the bag).

I used (and LOVED) this bidet. No TP to pack out. On the downside, you must wash your fingers afterward. I found the bidet bottle had just enough left in it to rinse my camp soap off my hand.

The spray nozzle fits on a smart bottle, but on the "don't cross the streams" principle, so I used the dedicated bottle. It has a nice one-way valve that allows air back in after each squeeze and is the perfect capacity.

u/bubonis · 40 pointsr/HomeImprovement

Before we moved in, I hired a forensic cleaning company to completely clean sanitize the whole house. (Well, except for the basement.) Being able to move into a perfectly clean house where I didn't have to worry about my then-infant daughter touching something nasty was a huge help.

Installing bidets on the toilets in the house was a big hygiene improvement, especially for my daughter.

Epoxy coating the garage floor has saved tons of time in spill cleanups.

u/Vulpyne · 9 pointsr/TrueReddit

For those that are interested, there are actually very cheap modifications that you can install on an existing toilet rather than replacing it with an expensive bidet.

About 6 months ago I read an article on reddit about how great there were and got interested, and bought this one on impulse for $35: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001KKRCFA/ (I think there's a newer version in the same price range, so look around a bit before you buy.)

It just uses your normal water supply and the water where I live is from a well so it is ice cold in the winter. It took a little getting used to, but seriously I have to say that I love the thing. I would hate to go back to a normal toilet. It also vastly reduces the amount of tissue paper you use, so from an environmental standpoint that is pretty good.

^(Not exactly sure this is TrueReddit material, but since I have an opinion...)

u/certifeyedgenius · 1 pointr/todayilearned

This $50 thing CHANGED MY LIFE. It is AMAZING. It's a "shitty" conversation to have with your GF. It's like 5 minutes of awkwardness for a lifetime of a clean bottom. No wiping, almost no toilet paper, no remnants, it's faster, it's healthier.

u/guanba · 5 pointsr/japan

First, congratulations!

My suggestion is to take good care of your fiancee... since that's what you want them to think you're doing, after all ;-)

Did your father-in-law already buy a bidet?? If not, Amazon US actually sells cheap basic bidets/spray toilet seats that you could install, if you really wanted to go above and beyond. Really, though, a bidet is the answer you seek... your in-laws will feel comfortable, and happy to know you cared enough to go out of your way since bidets aren't so common in the U.S.


Having slippers, chopsticks, and bottled beverages (non-sweetened) available for them would also be a nice gesture. Not everyone uses them, but for some it's a real comfort to have them around.

u/IonOtter · 1 pointr/todayilearned

I used TP for the longest time, and then I tried my mom's baby wipes. I fell in love. Pull it out of the box, use it, then fold it up to a clean side. Use again, fold again, use again, fold again. You could get three, sometimes four good solid wipes out of a single sheet.

Then I found out that wipes don't break down in the septic system. And I found out about the bill for slurping out 2 years worth of baby wipes from the cesspool. So now I had to dispose of them in the wastebasket, or some other separate container.

A...less than ideal sort of solution.

Then I got this. (Oh, you sneaky fuckers. It was $36 when I bought it, now it's $19.)

Now I don't use any TP or baby wipes. I drop a load, then rinse off. And no matter how much Mexican I consume, this baby takes care of it all. And on those days where I'm dehydrated and stoppered? Just pull your cheeks apart and relax, and you'll get a little help in getting it all out.

Best household purchase in my life.

u/MentalEcho · 0 pointsr/Birmingham

DO IT!!! You won't regret it (after the first week). It is an 'odd concept' at first... Just something that we generally seem to shy away from in the US. And since it's not been part of our process since the go, when we were first learning it, it seems too foreign to most adults now.

In speaking with my international friends about it, they've admitted feeling that it is 'gross' that we don't have them in the US - generally just viewing it as a "yeah, duh - having one is better than not having one, but if you don't understand basic hygiene, we're not here to make you feel bad about it". Then, when we traveled in Europe a couple of years back, they were everywhere - it was just a normal part of the whole process... "Has to be something to this, right?"

I'd largely forgotten about it, assuming that the upgrade would require the whole toilet to be replaced and so therefore too costly... Then during a recent business trip north, I visited an associates house which had an upgrade similar to this installed - so I had to ask for his input... Glowing recommendations from him and his wife - "worth every penny and it will actually pay for itself when you consider TP usage"... Then just a short time later, I see them popping up for ~$30 on Amazon, so I figured I could gamble $30 on a trial.

I can't imagine going back now... Aside from the hygienics of it all, there is a huge change in TP consumption. We're estimating a 2/3 reduction going forward, which is pretty awesome. I know it seems a silly thing to be enthusiastic about, but I feel as if I'd been living willfully ignorant to the reality of how we go about this process in the US - and that I've now had the blinders removed from my eyes.

u/StarblindCelestial · 2 pointsr/todayilearned

I have had this one for a year or two and am happy with it. You should stop considering and just do it you won't regret it.

You could pay less for one without hot water, but cold water is pretty cold (especially in the morning). Cold water in the winter feels freezing. Cold water on your asshole in winter is a nightmare. An extra $25 for ass freezing protection is well worth the cost. There's an added bonus of your sink water being warm right away as well if you have a slower water heater like I do.

u/BurtMacklin___FBI · 2 pointsr/HealthAnxiety
  1. Talk to a therapist about this. This is some thing that could be helped with the right person to talk to.

  2. You need to eat. You're hurting yourself to avoid your period. This isnt okay.

  3. Look into birth control to eliminate your period. I can personally attest that the Mirena IUD stopped my period (2 years strong, only light spotting at the first 2 months). I've also read about BC pills that can reduce/eliminate your period. A doctor is a good place to start for help with all of this. Note: IDK how old you are or what country you're from, but in my opinion if you're old enough to have a period you're old enough to use birth control. I hope this is accessible to you.

  4. If its touching the blood, look into using tampons and getting a bidet ( https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00A0RHSJO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_MrGRCb6X5PXPM ). This washes off your private-bits after you go or have your period and you just pat dry when done. No need to touch a lot of blood. Talk to a doctor or gyno on how to use tampons. Here is also a pretty good guide https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/health-and-wellness/menstruation/how-do-i-use-tampons-pads-and-menstrual-cups .

    Bottom line is you need to eat. Talk to someone about how you're feeling and about accessing these supports until you've dealt with the psychological root of your menophobia.
u/jm3281 · 1 pointr/TopsAndBottoms

When that happened to me I would do the following:

  • I would use my Bidet to clean after each stool.
  • I would sit in a SITZ bath for about 30 minutes, twice a day. Use Epsom Salts with your SITZ bath
  • I would use Hygienic Cleansing Lotion after each stool and each SITZ bath
  • Use a stool softener

    In about 1 week you will be partially healed. DO NOT have anal sex yet. Drink half your body weight in ounces in water each day. This is important to keep your poo soft. Eat raisin bran cereal. Eat oatmeal. Eat anything with fiber. You will need at least 30 grams of fiber a day. This is to help keep your poo soft enough to pass through your fissure (Tear).

    In about 3 weeks or so you will be fully healed. Please, keep up the routine of fiber each day. Drink plenty of water each day. And for the love of GOD, use Lube. Use lots of LUBE!

Hello, sorry to hijack your comment but I have a question for you as someone who works in a hotel if you don't mind. I will be staying in a hotel for 4 months (paid by my employer) while I finish the job training. I use a toilet bidet like This one in my house, and I honestly feel like I can't live without it. Would something like this be allowed in my hotel room? There is no plumbing that needs to be done, the bidet connects directly to the toilet pipe and it's very easy to install. Again sorry for the off topic question but I really don't know where to ask this.

u/kajaclair · 1 pointr/NoPoo

Not to say everyone can afford $25, but I used to think I couldn't afford a filter until I saw this shower filter. The replacement filters equate to about $20 a year.

I've been doing no poo (just conditioner, and I just use whatever I feel like: herbal essences, head and shoulders... nothing natural) for over a year, and once I got past the greasy phase (I "cheated" by doing it while on a beach vacation), I never had a problem until I moved and we have super hard water. So I bought this filter, but I haven't really tried it yet. I'll let you know how it goes if you're interested.

Oh and for reference I have pretty much your same hair type.

u/ParadoxDC · 1 pointr/ibs

Yes just do the Amazon search and you'll see a few models that are all highly rated. I got this one for $35 because it was the highest rated and had the most reviews (and has the cleaning function). I honestly can't tell what the difference is between the other models besides a few basic functionalities. The one i got works perfectly and is a great price.

u/40WNKS · 1 pointr/HaircareScience

As another natural blonde here:

First off, I can 100% assure you that your unwanted hair tone has nothing to do with mental health. As far as a vitamin deficiency, I'm about 90% certain it's not that, especially if you live in a 1st world country and have a fairly varied diet. (Not to discount some people's success with consuming more zinc & biotin, but that's a whole other thread. Those supplements won't help with the color of your hair anyway, just the amount / length.)

Most likely, your green dull hair tones are caused by hard minerals and the chlorine in your shower / bath water. Also, do you swim a lot? Chlorine is a huge known culprit of turning blonde tones green.

What can you do?

First, treat the underlying cause. If you do swim a lot (i.e. a few times per week), wear a swim cap. If that's not the reason, consider buying a shower head water filter attachment such as one of these. Or conversely, if you're in the financial situation to do so, consider a whole-house water softener. A water softener treats all of your house's tap water and as an added bonus, makes it taste a whole lot better too. I used to have one and it made such an amazing night / day difference in the softness of my hair. I didn't need to use very much conditioner at all, could comb it without a detangler, and my hair wasn't frizzy, unlike how it is now. When I move, a water softener is near the top of my priority list.

Next, consider buying a shampoo specially formulated for swimmers, if swimming was the cause. You'll have to trial & error on those, as I can't recommend a good one.

And last but not least, I would recommend trying a purple shampoo, such as this one from Joico. I do personally use this one from Joico, and it does work for me. The inherent violet property of the shampoo neutralizes yellow tones. However, I do not tend to get green tones in my hair, rather I get brassy or harshly yellow tones. I'm sure it has to do with the unique chemical / mineral makeup of my local hard water.

I know it's frustrating, but the problem isn't insurmountable. I hope my post has helped you! :)

This is a subreddit about bidets, an alternative where you get sprayed with a little water (from the wall) instead of wiping with toilet paper. From what I've read, they do a better job of cleaning you without needing nearly as much toilet paper (just one or two squares to pat dry). They're better for the environment and save money over time. You can get them as an attachment add-on for around $30 on Amazon. They're easy to install, they don't require electricity, and there are some models that let you control the temperature (provided your toilet is near your sink; mine is not).

It just seemed like it might be worth a try, but because I just set it up today, mine still needs a little bit of fine tuning to really work right.

I'm just trying something new (to me), kind of like how I recently started double edge shaving after using cartridges for so long (again: lower cost, does a better job, and better for the environment).

u/SnakeHats52 · 1 pointr/povertyfinance

These are the two I have.

Plain cold water one. Great first bidet, doesn't need power or to be near sink for hot water. Cheap.

Hot and cold water. Toilet needs to be near sink, I had to drill a small hole in cabinet to put hot water line from bidet to sink.


My dream bidet. Dries your ass, night light, user profile settings and more lol

Invest in the things you do daily! Love my bidets and good mattresses. Big quality of life improvements .

u/acquiredsight · 1 pointr/AskWomen

I actually have one that I ordered on amazon (this, or something like it, for anyone who's interested) and it's pretty great. It attaches to the same water that fills the toilet tank, so it's a pretty easy install, less than an hour. But it can't travel with me!!

u/GoAskAlice · 2 pointsr/fatpeoplestories

Nice to know, but honestly? I find most medical stuff humiliating to begin with. Would rather shower before calling in docs and whatnot, if at all possible.

I don't even wear scent before going to see a doc, never know who might have an allergy. Not that I wear much to begin with. (two spritzes of a "body spray" called Moonlight Path... I'm not big on the whole "douse self in oil of roses" thing)

AND THANK GOD FOR MY BIDET, SERIOUSLY. Everyone should have one of these things, they are amazing.

(that's not the one I have, mine's metal. Close enough for rock and roll)

i got a bidet attachment from amazon about a year ago, and it has been the best $30 i've spent. this one is super easy to install and very affordable:

u/vikkivinegar · 59 pointsr/Youniqueamua

Pro tip:

To prevent Poseidon's Kiss, grab a lil handful of toilet paper and lay it in the water (in the "target area"), before you go. Paper gives a nice little "landing pad", if you will, and your butt will stay dry.

Also, I just got a bidet and it's the best fucking thing in the world. America is waaay behind on this. I got this one:
https://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Neo-320-Non-Electric/dp/B00A0RX2UI/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=bidet&qid=1565294427&s=grocery&sr=1-5-catcorr

it was easy to install and keeps you feeling sooo clean. Also need to use paper only to dry yourself. That way I don't feel so wasteful to drop a few squares in the potty before I go #2.

^sorry ^for ^the ^tmi!

u/Landscapeplease · 2 pointsr/StraightPegging

Make some time for yourself. Plenty of time. Get a bottle of lube and a smaller size dildo. (Not a hard vibrator) cover your bed with towels. Slowly start to play with yourself. Find what feels good. Keep a slow pace. Remember that your exploring. After sometime, your going to feel a warm comfort come over you. Your going to want to speed up. Go into the shower and continue picking up the pace. It might get messy. (I suggest buying bidet)you can use it before, during and after. You will feel an orgasm build. It will be like no other. Don't force it. If you get there, congratulations. If you don't, try again in a couple of days. Once you get more comfortable with your body, start involving your wife again.

Yes! These are very easy to put on and removed.

I linked the one I have in the comments earlier, but I forgot about this one my friend purchased which is exactly the same as the one I use but with a different brand name and half the price. Works wonderful.

My main recommendation when looking for one is making sure there is a knob to adjust the pressure (basically all of them have this it is how you turn them on) and a little switch or knob to adjust the water angle.

I have a $30 one and I love it. Something like this. All it uses is the clean cold water incoming to the toilet and use it to spray you clean. It doesn't have any electronics like these fancy ones.

u/Gangreless · 15 pointsr/SuddenlyGay

$60, they have some cheaper models but I highly recommend the one with hot water attachment, it's only $10 or 15 more and so worth it. Also the one like this with the lever water adjust instead of dial, it's better at adjusting pressure.

I have this one in both our toilets:

u/Landotavius · 3 pointsr/SeattleWA

Since colorectal cancer is on the rise, and earlier in today's sub someone mentioned bidet attachments for their toilet -- I think we should take a moment to appreciate this review of the top selling bidet attachment on Amazon:

>Speaking as a hirsute gentleman, the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 has soured me on pooping in bidet-less toilets forever. It's shown me the difference between rubbing peanut butter out of shag carpeting with a paper towel, and that sparkling clean feeling you get right when you step out of the shower.

>The unit took me all of about 10 minutes to install on my existing toilet with only a wrench. The easy-to-control flow valve allows you to provide just the right amount of water pressure for a full range of cleaning, from "gentle trickling stream" to "full-on 'Silkwood' decontamination", ensuring the end of your bowel movement leaves you feeling cleaner and more refreshed than using just toilet paper alone. Even flush-able wet wipes pale in comparison.

I hope to report back on the state of my rectal health shortly after a few weeks of use. Hemorrhoids be damned!

u/hardknox_ · 1 pointr/Eyebleach

I got this one because I liked the idea of a lever you lift up. Makes pooping so much nicer! And 1/20th the toilet paper I used to use.

I gave one as a gift to a lady friend and she says it's great for her monthlies. Who knew.

u/thbt101 · 3 pointsr/videos

Neo lux on Amazon. Pretty easy install. No warm water option, but I'm it's not necessary. Extra spacers are needed for the toilet seat, it they didn't work too well with the slow closing like, but otherwise it's nice.

I use a portable bidet https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-GS-70-Portable-Convenient-Capacity/dp/B008CSDKSQ

It works great and I’m able to keep clean down there so much easier with my skin tags now. You just fill it up and squeeze and it works amazingly and you can put it away and take it out for each use it’s very cheap too and well worth it much easier than installing one anyway and cheaper!

u/brainsaysgirl · 1 pointr/asktransgender

Have you used toys before?

You really should use toys first. Get used to it. And get a good lube. I really like Lulu lube.

Oh, and get a bidet. You can get one from Amazon for ~$50. Trust me. It makes things much cleaner and takes much less effort than any other prep methods, like an enema. Installing the bidet takes 15 minutes or less, and it makes it possible to do both pre and post cleanup within two minutes, and it makes it possible to do things spur-of-the-moment, rather than requiring planning.

Biotin is a B vitamin and it's good for your hair skin and nails. It makes my nails and hair grow faster and my hair just looks healthier and my curls look better.

As for the filter, I have hard water (means it's full of minerals) and porous hair, so I got myself a showerhead with a charcoal filter from Amazon and I've been much less frizzy since then. There's something in the sidebar about testing the porosity of your hair, if you can't find it just respond here and I'll dig it up for you. Good luck!

Was in Japan over a year ago, and my butt fell in love with the bidet toilet seats. When I returned home, I bought an Izen 5. Great. Before the Izen arrived, and for traveling, I use this. Much rather have the warm water from this, compared to an icy squirt.

After using this combo, the direction of my butt crack is changing...it's becoming a smile. (Hope I didn't offend.)

So the ultimate splurge would be the toto neorest with elongated bowl. Alas, that’s too bougie for my budget I settle for the bidet attachment from amazon. This this super economical one is a greater starter bidet. The tushy brand is a little nicer option as well.

The Luxe bidet is easy to install and comes with everything you need inside the box at $36 via amazon:

I like the knob rather than the more common "dials" which seem harder to twist. Good luck!

u/MyBigRed · 16 pointsr/offbeat

$35 an Amazon for a Luxe Bidet Neo 120. I bought three of these (actually two of the 180s, and one 185), one for each bathroom and couldn't be happier. The higher models offer dual sprayers (one sprays further forward), and different controls. Taps into the clean water line going to the tank so it is super easy to install. I recommend 1000%.

u/WildYams · 1 pointr/self

A while back I bought a bidet attachment for my toilet (only $35, including shipping from Amazon), and it works flawlessly, so as a result, they're all no wipe shits for me. A nice bonus was that when I recently fucked up my wiping hand, I didn't have to attempt to wipe with my other hand since I had the bidet to take care of everything. I'll never go back to wiping now that I've seen the light :)

u/gmick · 4 pointsr/gaming

Try a bidet. I was skeptical, but after trying it, I love it. It gets you much cleaner and is good for hemorrhoids too. Just use a bit of toilet paper to dry yourself. This is the one we got and it works great.

It's pretty regional. I'm sure I saw something about how in India/Pakistan they use a bucket and cup to clean up. I've lived in a place with these installed since before I can remember. Now we've got something like this. Obviously washing well afterwards.

I hate the wet wipes thing too. I'm super happy to see another travel bidet user here. IMO, it's the best way to keep yourself clean out on the trail.

I use a different one than you do, and it weighs in at 65 grams. I can either use a sheet or two of TP afterwards to dry off, or simply pull up my merino boxers and let the water disperse into them - they're usually dry within a few minutes.

This is a great thread for discussion. If I may add...

  1. Even better than a peri-bottle is a washlet. Basically an add-on bidet for a standard toilet. If you can get one that has HOT and COLD water, you will LOVE cleaning your bum with warm water. It chips away at pain quickly and dries without TP in a few minutes.

Get a shower head extender. Helps with the height, you won't lose any pressure, and it makes it easier to rinse out the tub after cleaning. I recommend this cheapo Delta; it's been good to me for years now.

u/Gizank · 1 pointr/news

I obviously recommend them both. The stool is nice for changing your experience with pooping.

Adding the bidet on top of that will cause you to wonder why you have put up with paper all your life.

I highly recommend the Squatty Potty.

There are bottles like this that let you try the bidet out first. I, personally, recommend filling it up with cold water, If you can take cold tap water, you can deal with the bidet at any time of the year. After two seconds, it's not like you'll notice the cold.

A bidet and a Squatty Potty can change your life. Obviously, you have to be ready to accept these changes, but from my experience, they are totally worth the effort to get used to.

Chances are you can remove them. It’s a cover that they put on to fit with the aesthetic of the bathroom. Use a bent clothes hanger or carefully lever it out with a pen/pencil. Then pop one of these in. Be sure to check the sizing. If it’s a standing shower and the drain is in smack dab in the center, you can probably fit one of these under it to help.

Both electric bidets have lasted 8 years now I think. So it is kind of worth the price. Think ahead and realize you might need to buy an extension cord for it.

They are so easy after installing, I think they would be great for older or handicapped people, or if you are a bodybuilder, or have IBS.

https://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Neo-120-Non-Electric/dp/B00A0RHSJO I got this one. It's got a pretty intense spray, so I had to also get a valve thingy to control it better so I didn't give myself an enema every poop, but I like it now lol.

Bidets! I have this one and it is one of my best purchases of all time. Now I hate pooping anywhere but home.

There are other kinds too. When I was visiting Portugal they often had these bidets that were kind of a mix of a toilet and a sink, and I think you were supposed to run the water and wipe off with your hand... I never used it, but eventually the concept won me over.

Edit: amazon link if you're interested.

Don't forget the energy costs of manufacture and transportation. It takes 17.3 terawatts of energy to manufacture and transport toilet paper per year. That's a huge carbon footprint.

If you're concerned about the ecological impact of TP, I highly recommend a bidet attachment for your toilet like this:

You will use significantly less toilet paper, maybe even eschewing it entirely.

They are the best and you're missing out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDMo2ncT2D4

For the uninitiated, bidets are super cheap now and easy to install. http://www.amazon.com/Astor-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Toilet-Attachment/dp/B003TPGPUW/

a few months back, i installed a bidet, this model, on my shitter at home.

it's a little hard to "aim" at first, but i can't tell you how much i recommend this over regular old tp/butt wipes. i never realized how nice it was having a confidently clean butthole.

u/ocdthrowaway00 · 2 pointsr/OCD

I use this bidet at home and love it.

For public bathrooms, you can get a travel bidet, like this one.

I usually just use some toilet paper that I've dipped into the toilet (after flushing of course!), and alternate between wet and dry wipes until it's clean.

u/mattintaiwan · 6 pointsr/AdviceAnimals

Jeez you guys are lazy. Just go to Amazon and type "bidet" ha.

Having said that, this is the one that I bought. It works perfectly and is one of the best purchases I've ever made.

u/mcharms · 1 pointr/Hair

Sure thing! Here is the showerhead I bought and it works great! Plenty of others out there though to try :)

u/mybelle_michelle · 7 pointsr/CrohnsDisease

Bidet is the way to go! A few years ago this one was recommended somewhere on reddit, I bought it and love it (as a mom to a crohnie).

I have an older Consumer Reports on toilet tissue, I don't like Scott 1000 or Angel Soft (or Costco's version of it). I settled on Target's Premium Ultra Soft (or Ultra Strong, I couldn't really tell a difference) that was listed on my report as in the top 5 for dissolving/fewer clogs.

Finally, we also updated our (25 year old) toilets to American Standard Cadet 3 FloWise Tall Height 2-Piece 1.28 GPF Single Flush and haven't had a single clog yet in three years.

  1. THIS is awesome, but pricy. Your showers would be fantastic!
  2. I need a rubber ducky for the tub. :P I like to sit down in the shower with the water hitting me. My cat is obsessed with running water and sits on the side, between the curtains. I prefer morning showers, but I generally take a bath at night. The cat always tries to climb on me in the tub, she fell in once when she was really small... She still tries it every time, though.

A bidet might help. You can get a good one that's easy to install for less than $35. Luxe Bidet Neo 120 - Self Cleaning Nozzle - Fresh Water Non-Electric Mechanical Bidet Toilet Attachment

u/WhydotheyNeedme · 1 pointr/LifeProTips

Dude, no joke get a Bidet. I saw a post about it a few months ago. So I decided to give it a try. They suggested a Bidet from Amazon. It was easy to set up. I love it! My whole family now uses a Bidet. It has changed my whole bathroom experience. Here is the Amazon link:

I suppose that depends on what you consider pricey, but I don't think bidets are too cheap either. I took a very quick look, and there was a pretty impressive looking one for ~$370.

u/scarabic · 1 pointr/ZeroWaste

It’s a fancy one, yeah. Heated water, blow dryer etc. It ran me about $300. I have another one upstairs which was $25 and has no frills, but works just as well. Here’s one like it:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TPGPUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_3SlQCb9WG3S2P

IMO it’s better than a hose because your hands are completely out of the way.

u/loonybhatia · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

This is cool

I don't really have a shower ritual, I don't sing. I do workout, but usually have other stuff to do right after, like pick up my little brother, get groceries, so I shower after that. I have a towel in my car just to put on my seat so it doesn't start to smell of sweat. Whenever I have up.
Funniest thing was prolly when I decided to try to find a way to smoke a cigar while taking a shower. What I did was take some electrical tape and take a plastic baggie to near where the band is, I then cut the back part of the baggie so it was open and the cigar could get through, this was taped to a cling wrapped kitchen roll tube which was attached to a toilet paper tube that was facing upwards, like the bowl of a pipe, and I have to run a metal rod underneath it all so that it didn't break. It worked, I had to take a 45 minute shower to finish it, but it worked.

u/Vigro318 · 4 pointsr/lifehacks

There's this shit called a shower arm. I'm 6'2 and live in a pretty small apartment as well. It cost me like 20$ max and made showers 100% better.
