Where you absolutely refuse to go the cheap way.

For me its deodorant. Everything else I've found but my chosen brand fails me.

Still need good paper to pat dry. I've yet to find one that has a dryer function that actually works. A slight breeze of warm air ain't gonna do it.

Hey just trying to look out, I can't cite my sources atm (think I read it on Re**it years ago), the Japanese have fucked around extensively with hot-air dryers on bidets. Powerful ones that worked. Use & overuse of such devices can lead to a dried-out butthole, like it can be detrimental for your health. Do your own research, proceed with caution, don't go crazy & mess up your body.

Upvoted!! 🙌🏻 Not flushable, even if they say they are. But they do eventually break down, as do most things. So you could "go Greek" & dispose of wipes in a small toilet-side trash bin, then dump in regular trash or even compost. 🙂

The Greeks at least aren't supposed to flush toilet paper because their septic lines literally can't handle it. It sucks & I think a lot of the people I was with flushed it anyway, but that's the protocol. I followed protocol because I am well aware of how much septic problems suck to fix.

Disgusting. And nowhere near as good as a bidet. It just doesn't clean as effectively.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cheap toilet paper just means I'm buying preparation h later. Good toilet paper is an investment in my butts health.

Plus it takes enough more it's not really saving that much.

This is the first thing I started buying the good stuff on when I became not-poor. Never going back!

[–] Vaggumon@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

"Became not-poor" Fucking life goals.

[–] CoffeeJunkie@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Never go back!! And always buy it on sale! It's not like it expires.
