As an American I have always wonder about the bidet.  Toilet paper is alright but sometimes it just seems like I keep wiping and wiping (I love the clean bowel movements that doesn't require any or little wiping).  I wanted to know from someone that perhaps used both which they preferred.  Sometimes I just jump in the shower with minimum wiping (if it was predestined that I was going to take a shower anyways) and clean myself with a small towel/rag while showering.  So I wanted to know what you guys think (mainly Europeans) about the two choices.  Would you prefer water cleaning or toilet paper?  Do you still have to wipe after using a bidet?  These are the questions to life that I must know before I die.

Bidet or a water splasher. Much much cleaner, and it's a standard in our parts of the world. Don't know how the west don't use it!

Do you still have to wipe yourself after a bidet?

Yes definitely. But only a couple of times unless needed. Much better than just spreading your doodoo around your butt hole :| 

So you guys have a roll of toilet paper next to the bidet usually (what do you wipe yourself with)?

It's not really a bidet. We do have bidets, but we have something like a mini shower head which you can use while you're sitting down. And yes toilet paper as well!

toilet paper + wet wipes to finish the job.

Wow, sounds like you have a lot more options available.  I wonder why bidets/ water splashers never caught on in the USA...  I'm almost jealous of Europeans right now.

Ah yea... I forgot about those wet wipes...  Some reason it makes me think I'm a baby again getting my ass wiped with one of those.  They do their job decently but not always.  Sometimes you just need a jet stream shot up there.

I disagree. I think wet wipes are superior to a measly water fountain, unless it has as much pressure as a fire hoseWHY AM I TALKING ABOUT THIS SHIT
