Things cheap people do

I don't know where you get £2k installed from. A bidet costs about £80 and it certainly won't cost £1900 to fit it, especially if it's part of a bathroom refurb.

I was being extremely generous with the figure, basing it on the finest china bidets that one can find and also the most expensive bathroom fitters. But yeah, if you know what you're doing then they cost pretty much nothing to install other than the cost of the actual bidets. I think some people just like the feeling of smearing st around their hoops with their bumper size 24 bog roll packs .

My wife has been wanting to install one of these in the main bathroom. If you've been to India your know what thats for .

But been a cheapskate I cannot bring my self to even get a quote as toilet rolls are so cheap when bought in bulk.....the last few posts have made me wonder if I should get at least get a quote!

i dont use wet wipes i use 'dirty' paper, but how are wet wipes not clean?

unlikley as it seems, i get paper could smear it around and show as a false clean wipe if the poop on the bum had dried up. and thus leave you with a pooey bum

but how could wet wipes, the moisture would dampen and poop and smear it on the paper so you could wipe away until spotless knowing theres defo nothing left.

Well they fail on all the other points I mentioned and I don't really want to over analyse (analise?) it because it isn't the most pleasant of topics and we're way off the original topic, but I did allude to the issue in my first post on the topic in that bottoms are hairy.
I'm presuming you have some hair on your head here, if not imagine you do. If you were in the garden at home and a bird shat on your head would you wipe it with tissue or wet wipes and call it job done? Personally I wouldn't, I would wash my hair.
The other reasons are many people have piles or are susceptible to them and additionally IBS too so don't want to wipe, also in hot weather it gets a bit hot, sweaty and sore down there so again, flushing with water is a much better way of doing it. That's where I got the idea from because that's how they do it in some hot and humid countries.

Hope this 'clears things up' for you.

To all the bidet users..... how do you:
1.) Ensure all the detritus is removed?
2.) Dry the affected area afterwards?

1. Warm jet does it 100%, never, ever had any problems with clingons.
2. Towel. Just make sure I use the same one every time. The rule on the towel rail is bottom towel is for bottom

I can't speak for everyone, but i'm not your usual PHer with a country mansion and my bathroom is quite small. Long and thin though so I managed to get everything lined up on one wall with the shower at the end. Being quite hirsute (who hasn't got hair there anyhow?) it is one of the best things I ever did in my house, the economies of it take second place. Most people will turn their noses up at it, but it's strange in these fastidious times of high personal cleanliness that most folk walk around with stted up arses after trying their best with a bit of dried paper.

I quite agree, hence why I always take a quick shower afterwards.

It's a bugger when you're staying elsewhere though and it's a fixed head, i'm getting a bit old for handstands.

Can we move on from the bottom wiping ?....ta.....

I am clothed as a write.

I don't think defecation, urination and ejaculation are discussed often enough on these forums, as you know I keep a nano cache container full of the latter to remind me of my biological roots.

Don't be ashamed, males, embrace it.

SUrely if your cleaning your ads with water you still need tissue to dab off the excess water. Or do you use a towel, you animal.

Wipe with a few squares.

Press the dry button.

I work overseas so my living costs are quite low, however I've recently noticed the cleaner where I stay leaves out a bar of soap, so I've stopped buying shower gel. She's not quite so quick at replacing it, so I've got an emergency bar that I use and hide until she notices and puts out a new one.

I've started using soap bars at home too. However I've either made a genius move or a massive error. Having bought a value pack of dove at costco, when I got home and opened them. I've got enough for the next 20 years.

Might make good Xmas and birthday presents.

Probably others have posted similar before ……..

Wow 70 grams of Asda fat for 10 pence.

That is cheap.

My grandfather was a sales rep for lever brothers in the 80s, he had a loft brimmed with products including shield & imperial leather soaps. When we cleared the house a few years back it was still half full, literally a lifetimes worth!

I watched an old boy in the supermarket, swapping 'large' eggs into a 'medium' box. Saved him £0.05.

what a horrible tight old bd, screwing someone else with small eggs!

Wrong. Look at the boxes again; same brand and you'll see 'large' they actually load up to half in there that are small.

An old supermarket trick.

Same with twin pack of steaks, small one hidden behind very large label

It's no M&S produce for sure, but that won't stop T6 from smiling when he tucks in knowing he paid 10p vs some poor sod coughing up £7 lmao!


A few good tips here regarding timings for whoopsie's at various supermarkets:

What do you use when you have your daily spaff?

The tea towel?
