You still have to wipe though, right? Using just water to clean it off your arm would still leave a stain. You have to make contact to rub away what remains somehow.
I’ve used a few bidets and while it was fun and they did an ok job there was no soap involved and I still had to wipe. I don’t hate them, they make some sense, but a bidet is not magic.
it’s water. what do you think is “using it well”? the only way to properly sanitize an asshole is drench it in water and use a little soap. Change your diet several days beforehand if you want to have fun down there.
Unironically, positioning, pressure, and time. It took me a while to be fine with the pressure needed to actually clean anything, let alone letting it stay on long enough to thoroughly clean. Plus you gotta angle yourself so everything gets clean.
Saying “it’s water” proves you don’t know enough, which explains why you’ve had a bad experience. No shame in that, like I said it took me a while. Stick with it, it’s worth it.
nope no bad experiences over here. i’m familiar with the whole water versus butt situation. i think a bidet is fine but i don’t want to walk out of the restroom with a wet butt, unless it’s Wet Day. so regardless of bidet or no, i would prefer some sort of towel or soft paper.
I use one and have IBS with issues as you describe. The bidet is miles better, and previous to that I had to use wet wipes because TP wasn’t even as effective. You’re using it incorrectly if you think it’s less effective than paper.
No. If you are using a decent bidet and using it correctly, you do not need to wipe. At most you’ll need to dab dry, but some models have blow driers so this isn’t necessary. The water is the friction you need unless your bidet has weak pressure or the stream is too dispersed.
Soap would always be better, but water alone is vastly superior and a complete replacement for wiping so long as something isn’t wrong with the setup.
There are people who always have super solid movements that don’t leave a trail. Many of us have a variety of textures that smear as they exit. A bidet removes the majority of it but never all, and wiping reveals what is left behind.

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

This can absolutely be true, but it’s an indication of improper washing and the need for a repeat or a better bidet.

I’ve used a bidet for a decade and the only reason I have to wipe is to dry off
Only if you have a solid one. If your poo is sticky it leaves a smear and even high pressure water won’t shift, and that’s when you need a wipe.
You’ve never used one and it shows.
I have. A bunch of times. They are in most of the hotel rooms I stay in.
Then you don’t use it well. Which is fine, it took me a while to get used to mine and use it effectively.

I don’t think it is less effective. I tthink it is more efficient but isn’t perfect.
Again, you don’t seem to have these problems to know and I do.
Congratulations. Tell you what, I’ll send you pictures next time I use a bidet.
Wipe your shit, wash your ass and wipe again to dry off your anus.
This has never happened to me across a wide variety of shits
If the pressure is right u should be able to get everything, but yeah even then you need to dry it.

Yes, of course.
