The water idea isn’t a terribly bad one. There are many places online where you can get a “portable bidet”. Basically it’s a plastic water bottle with a little pipette on the top to squirt the ol’ chocolate starfish.
Personally, if in public I will use the wet paper towel trick. But at home I prep the work surface with paper and either shower or clean the bowel and “sit 'n splash”. Basically if the bowl’s clean and the water’s clean I use it to clense the aflicted area. And then wash up thoroghly when finished.
Okay, I have been contemplating a bidet attachment in the vaguest possible way for some time, and this one is definitely below my price point.
I think that my face may have arranged itself into something hysterically comical when I read this boast, though:

Something like this, I imagine: :eek:
Little too Pruzy for me - clean on the outside is good enough for my purposes, thanks. (Though hopefully it works like a regular bidet if you don’t turn it all the way up to eleven?)
Bowl’s clean, water’s clean, no problem. Maybe a drop or two of shampoo or liquid hand soap for those “White Castle and Beer” days but otherwise all goes well.
It’s kind of the by-product of the realisation that, while a portion of the world is dying of malnutrition and dehydration due to a lack of sanitary water, every day I take a gallon or so of perfectly good, fresh, sparkling clean drinking water… and shit in it. Might as well make the best of it.
Surprisingly it’s not that bad. That area really isn’t that sensitive to cold, honestly. Even in winter when the Massachusetts water is really cold, it isn’t uncomfortable.
I guess I must eat more fiber or have over-active large intestines or something because I’m a guy, and most of the time I can get by with less than 4 wipes. I’ve never had a streak.
I assume not being able to get fully clean is a fecal consistancy problem. I would imagine the dry crumbly stuff cleans up easily and doesn’t spread around.
I’m sure that has something to do with it, but I also think that when you defecate also plays a part. By “when” I mean if you defecate a bit too early and try to force a BM before the whole load is truly on-deck. In those situations, I think it’s easier for some feces to get left behind (heh) fairly close to your anus, and is therefore more prone to “make it’s mark” on your drawers. If you wait a bit later until the whole load is fully on-deck, the BM cycle allows a more complete clearing of the bowels.
But maybe I’m full of shit and talking out of my ass.
Come to Japan, my child. Our washlets have nice warm water on tap! Both the seat temperature and water temperature are adjustable. Use as a bidet/use to wash the bum. Two different hoses, both cleaned immediately after each use.
My only complaint is that if I sit there a really long time, the automatic closing lid conks me in the back!
The link I posted has two, one is under $100 and cold water only, the other is $200 and adjustable temp. I opted for the cheaper one, because it really doesn’t matter, and certainly isn’t worth another hundred bucks.
