Bidet users are like Linux users, they just can't shut up about it πŸ˜‚

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

On a completely unrelated note, I recently got an air fryer. They're awesome! 😎

No, but I do!

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I have one too. They're pretty neat for a lot of things, except fries.

Re-reads through the thread

Ok, phew, were were not talking about bidets anymore. I was getting confused.

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

They're pretty good for fries, but the brand of fries matters a lot

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

i guess the brands I tried weren't very good then

[–] EddoWagt@feddit.nl 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you happen to be European, see if you can find Aviko (not sure what countries apart from the Netherlands they're available in), they've been pretty good in my experience

I live in Belgium so I might be able to find them too, ty!

In both cases, maybe I'd more frequently be able to resist the temptation to talk about both subjects if I had the option to use them at work.

Travel bidet. You're welcome.

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago

May i have a moment of your time to talk about our lord and saviour, Linus Torvalds?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lol. They like "The splash."

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 69 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

Honestly, cold water is fine, even that cold.

Here's why. First, your bungholio is one of the hottest spots on body, so while there might be a moment of surprise if the water is really cold, it will only be a moment. Then, the anus and gluteal fold aren't particularly temperature sensitive. Pressure, yes. But temperature, they just don't pick up that kind of sensation as well as even the glutes themselves. Test it some time. A splash of cold water on you butt cheeks compared to your butt hole, it just won't bother you as much on the hole.

Also, depending in how your bidet is set up, you might not ever get warm water at all. There are definitely bidets that warm the water in the bidet, but most of them just run a pipe to the pipes under a sink or wherever. Which means the warm water has to come from the heater, through the pipes, and to your poop-pipe. It only takes a few seconds for the majority of a healthy poo's worth of residue to be gone. Even less healthy, or unhealthy poos won't take minutes of time.

So, you end up with your end only experiencing the cold anyway, unless you run it to get it warm before sitting down. Which isn't a good idea for other reasons, what with the water being a mini fountain.

Plus, the cool water feels nice.

As an unheated bidet user, yeah, this tracks.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

PSA: for anyone inferring things from this comment:

While the nerves around the asshole may not be super temperature sensitive, the rectum (which should not really be involved in your bidet usage, ideally you fully evacuate your bowels and use the bidet only to clean the anus externally) is important to your core temperature. Something like a cold bidet (which is by necessity at least 0*C) is not a problem, a cold buttplug is. You can safely use a refrigerated (or even frozen) dildo, but don’t involve temperature play in your anal play.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

Nice catch! I wouldn't have thought of it since I was focused on the bidet aspect, and I tend to forget that people will try anything with their butts if they don't know better. Thank you.

[–] inv3r5ion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago

So what you’re saying is if someone is going through heat stroke, save them by giving them an ice buttplug?

[–] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then, the anus and gluteal fold aren’t particularly temperature sensitive. Pressure, yes.

Ok yeah i was bout to say my A&GF were particularly sensitive that time i sat down on the shampoo bottle

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

β€œI tripped and fell I swear!”

[–] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Haha! It actually taught me those folks in the ER are definitely fulla crap cuz there's no way it's going in there without your explicit consent (and probably some deep breaths)

[–] feannag@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Plenty of bidets have a storage tank with pre heated water or heat the water prior to spraying your butt hole.

[–] usrtrv@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

Yea. In Japan I've never used a bidet that didn't heat the water. That's the standard here as far as I can tell.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And in the UK the storage tank has hot tea.

[–] Welt@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 weeks ago

Made my day, thanks!

[–] AdamBomb@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Seriously, cold water feels fine back there. Refreshing, even.

[–] brokenlcd@feddit.it 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Then you have european style bidets, you may not be bothered by the cold water on your ass, but your hand will be an ice block by the time you are done.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Tbh, I've never needed a hand involved.

We have two, one that's handheld, the other that's an add-on to the toilet.

Both produce enough pressure that what little might be left after a brief spray can be handled by a second. Never need a second with the handheld, since it can be moved around.

Worst case, i pat dry with some tp and need a third spray.

Never been to Europe, So i wasn't aware it was common to use the hands to help the spray. The water pressure here is high enough in most places it wouldn't cross my mind.

Thank you for that info :)

[–] brokenlcd@feddit.it 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

In europe bidets are different.

They are meant more as a 'general privates washing' thing. So it's not aimed at the asshole. So you either have to angle yourself in weird ways, or just use your hand to divert the water.

[–] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Ahhhh, gotcha!

Yeah, you don't want that totally cold lol

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 36 points 2 weeks ago

That’s my secret cap, my bidet is only connected to the cold tap all the time.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 23 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

... give an ice dildo or buttplug a try ...

[–] CleoTheWizard@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Don't knock it until you've tried it

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

So maybe do a little?

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Probably saw the ceiling up close

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

You might mean achieving sudden vertical velocity, but I like to think he stayed put while achieving eyesight superpowers even if for a brief moment before reacting, saw things the way the camera did in that famous shot in Jaws of Roy Scheider's face getting the dolly zoom treatment.

Thusly.

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I've only ever used cold water since I have one of those that go on the supply line. It just gets colder the longer you use it.

[–] chemicalprophet@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

Cold shock proteins healed their β€˜roids.

[–] mo_lave@reddthat.com 7 points 1 week ago

That's why even if you use bidets, you need toilet paper as backup.

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You do not need to use water heaters for your bidet! I have used the cold only, in below zero degree weather, and it’s fine, pleasant even.

[–] LordKitsuna@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We will never be able to get along with such fundamental core differences.

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Some parts of the population has fundamental differences from the majority that inspires fear and loathing, but we should strive to rise above such affects (if that's the right word) and realize that they can be reintegrated into society by camps where they relearn how to proper wash their bung with proper warmth

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Iced the ol' vovos, huh?

It's worse if your cold water piping heats up in summer. So much worse.
