    “Wipers watching bidet users spray their nasty all over.” Two sides of the same coin if you ask me. The happy medium is the dry wipe followed by the wet wipe then another dry.

      Do you reach down and dip the toilet paper into the water to get it wet?

        God no! lmao that’s almost as bad as that podcast guy that admitted he’d catch his own poop and gently drop it in the toilet so it doesn’t splash.

        You can get plumbing-safe wet wipes (baby wipes, basically). They work perfectly well.

          There’s no such thing as truly flushable wipes. They’re the bane of plumbers everywhere… Actually more the bane of people having to pay the plumber bill at some stage. A quick google will confirm this.

          Think of it… To be flushable they need to disintegrate in water. But they’re wet wipes so they are always wet… Yet they’re not disintegrating. Wipes which disintegrate in water is just toilet paper.

          That’s usually a lie. But as long as it’s a rent house, it’s fine.

      it’s kinda sad how close minded some folks are… so much so that they’ll convince themselves that flushing harmful waste is ok.

      It’s directed water, and goes straight into the bowl. There’s no ‘all over’ unless you’re doing it wrong.

      Also, I hope you’re not flushing those wet wipes. They lie about being biodegradable and cause fatbergs in the sewer that workers have to go down and clear.
