    It’s an assisting tool, not the primary cleaning method. Blasts off bulk material and loosens up whatever’s left, but you still need TP to finish the job. A lot less, but you still need some.
    As for lint, that happens regardless of the use of a bidet. Nothing changes there.

      Disagree about the assisting tool. Yes, you can still find shit, if you stick your finger up your bum hole, but you don’t need to powerwash your intestines to be clean. They’ll be full of shit soon after anyways. So long as the outside of the door is squeaky clean, that’s as clean as you’ll get.

        What sort of horrendously overpowered bidet do you have that can push through the sphincter like that?! And more importantly…

        Where can I buy one?

          Quite a few of the cheaper ones that just have a solid stream can be that powerful, at the right angle. Of course it depends greatly on your house’s water pressure, too.

          … and yea as Ephera mentioned, you might have to relax a bit. It’s easy to resist but that much water pressure against the sensitive flesh is uncomfortable to say the least.

          I use a hand-operated travel bidet, so it’s exactly as overpowered as my handshake is firm. 🙃

          More seriously, I did say not everything past the sphincter will get cleared out. But yeah, I believe it is generally possible for humans to relax their sphincter, so if you angle the beam right, that should do the trick…

        Why would you have the gun and not want to wash the deep parts and reach the intestines?

        I’ve had to shit again after having just used the bidet (still sitting down), and given how clean I feel after having washed, I don’t notice the wetness at all, because I’m going to wash again.

        That said, I hate the feeling of being barefoot on bare floor, so it’s not as though I don’t understand.
