          I’ll never understand where the term “blowing hot air up my ass” as if it was a pleasurable thing came from. I find it to be foul, but turning my bidet blower down to the coolest breeze is refreshing AF.

            Well that’s because the phrase is “blowing smoke up my ass” not “blowing hot air up my ass”. You’re probably mixing it up with someone being “full of hot air”.

            It comes from an actual medical procedure way back in the day where doctors would, well, blow smoke up your ass.

            My dad would use the term ‘blowing purple smoke up my ass’ to mean someone was lying to him or trying to scam him. Never understood that.

          There’s no checkmate here. It’s already all figured out by the millions of bidet users over the last hundred years. My wife uses toilet paper, I prefer a small basket of washrags to blot the water away. The rag gets slightly damp and there is no visible poo (having been washed away already), but I’m not going to use it on my face after so if there are micro-particles I don’t care.

          I’m a convert as of 7ish years ago. First one bathroom, then all bathrooms and the whole family vastly prefers over TP and even our previous favorite, baby wipes. Plus no waste, it’s really wins all around. Especially on the butthole.

      Sit for a minute or two to air dry and then use a towel or few pieces of toilet paper to touch up any wet spot. Still much less toilet paper than if you didn’t use a Bidet.

      Also some Bidets have actual blowers lol.

      My wife blots with a bit of TP and tosses it in the trash can. Guessing plumbing is more sensitive where she’s from.
