Bidet attachments for your toilet are about $30 and you can install it yourself with zero skills in 30 minutes.
Wouldn’t you pay $30 to never have to wipe shit again? Just dry off and that’s it. Greatest thing imaginable.

Are you-… Uhh… Are you using Pringles to wipe, in some sort of Three Shells system?

I’ve got one in my apartment unused. Our toilet’s a weird big moulded piece and I couldn’t get to the plastic bolts keeping the seat on…
- Mic_Check_One_Two ( @Mic_Check_One_Two@reddthat.com ) 7•11 months ago
Yeah, my last apartment had toilets that weren’t compatible. The supply hose going to the tank actually had a compression washer and went all the way through the tank before attaching to the valve. Like I couldn’t just unscrew the water hose from the bottom of the tank to tie in, because there wasn’t anything to unscrew. The hose just went straight through to the inside of the tank.
I’ve never seen anything like it before or since. It honestly had me baffled, and I was left settling for baby wipes until I could move into my current place. And you’d best bet that during my walkthrough for my current place, I checked the toilet to see if it would work with my bidet. The leasing agent looked at me like I was crazy when I dove behind the toilet, but it’s a new checkbox on my list.
- everett ( @everett@lemmy.ml ) 3•11 months ago
I’ve read about people connecting theirs by running a hose from the sink connection to the bidet. Normally you’d only do that to get hot water into the mix, but I guess it’s also an option to get basic cold water if you’re stuck with a fussy toilet.
- MrShankles ( @MrShankles@reddthat.com ) 2•11 months ago
I did have to shave some of the plastic from mine to get the toilet lid to close naturally. Not the same situation, but they do on occasion, require a little creativity
- Knightfall ( @Knightfall@lemmy.ca ) 5•11 months ago
I know it’s ignorant, but all I can imagine when using a bidet for the first time is shooting my corn hole with a jet of cold water, not knowing how clean it is back there, and using a towel to dry off only to find watered down shit on the towel.
- TooMuchDog ( @TooMuchDog@lemmy.ml ) 10•11 months ago
You just use toilet paper to dry
- Mlemm ( @Mlemm@lemm.ee ) 4•11 months ago
I was reluctant to get a bidet because I couldn’t hook it up to a warm water line, and was pleasantly surprised when I realized buttholes really aren’t that temperature sensitive. Even in the dead of winter, cold well water shot straight up the butthole doesn’t feel cold or shocking at all. Probably impossible to believe unless you try it yourself.
Also, don’t be a monster and dry your butthole with a towel. Just use a little bit of toilet paper so if you’re still dirty, it’s okay. It’s not like your whole rear-end gets soaked, it’s a very thin steam of water that targets just your butthole, with maybe a tiny bit of spray on the surrounding area
- EssentialCoffee ( @EssentialCoffee@midwest.social ) English2•11 months ago
It’s only surprising or strange the first time. If you aren’t acutely aware of how the water of a shower hits your skin every time you shower, then you won’t notice the bidet more than the first or second time.
- mister_monster ( @mister_monster@monero.town ) 4•11 months ago
So, how do you bidet to squeaky clean without touching your shit covered asshole? I know Indian people run water down the small of their back with a pitcher and wash that way, with their hand. Then they wash their hand. I’d like to avoid getting shit on my hands.

So true on the last bit there. Communists, the most infuriatingly annoying and delusional people on the internet have completely infested this website.
I’m guessing some reddit commie-holes like genzedong decided to migrate here since Lemmy is still small and they could dominate it and rule it since there are more than enough people who see through their bullshit on reddit.
- juliebean ( @juliebean@lemm.ee ) 14•11 months ago
i mean, the developers are communists (hence why they went with the .ml TLD on their instance), so i think it is a trend that predates any significant reddit migration. also federated social media has kind of always been full of communists and anarchists. i reckon it kind of goes hand in hand with the distrust of the big corpo sites.
anyways, go touch grass, please.

My mind was blown when I found this little plastic ball in a sports store which you can put between your back and a wall and you can massage yourself. It works wonders within even seconds of using it. It’s only a few euro and I used to waste hundreds of euro on massages. And you can take it anywhere because it’s small and light.
- Samus Crankpork ( @Crankpork@beehaw.org ) 17•11 months ago
My doctor prescribed me a lacrosse ball for a bad shoulder once, for exactly what you described. It’s slightly rubbery but really dense, and it’s apparently the perfect thing for tight muscles.

Vertical mice. I had occasional wrist pain from using a computer, which was annoying since then I’d had to take a break from the computer for about a day to recover. Got a vertical mouse and haven’t had any issues since. Took maybe a day to get used to it too.
- TedZanzibar ( @TedZanzibar@feddit.uk ) 14•11 months ago
Likewise trackballs. Took me all of a day to get used to using a thumb ball (Logitech MX Ergo), my wrist pain cleared right up and I haven’t looked back.
Yeah, they’re not great for twitch gaming, but on the flip side it’s highly amusing to watch people’s brains crash when they try to push it around like a mouse.

A vertical mouse saved me from carpal tunnel syndrome. A few years ago I started developing wrist and elbow pain in my mouse arm along with the numbness. It was getting so bad I would take frequent breaks to ice my wrist and would wear a brace at night. I started looking for ergonomic mice and decided to try out a $15 Anker one from Amazon. I felt relief the day I started using it and within a few days the symptoms were gone entirely.
- Julian ( @julianh@lemm.ee ) English4•11 months ago
Hey I think I got that same one, at least it was also was $15 and from Anker. Some of the outer plastic is rubbing off though so I’ve been looking for a new one. Unfortunate not many companies make good quality vertical mice - the only one I’ve seen that seems well built is the logitech mx vertical.
- l4g3p5 ( @l4g3p5@lemmy.ml ) 3•11 months ago
I resorted to using my left hand to control the mouse at work, then revert to my right hand at home
- Zink ( @Zink@programming.dev ) 3•11 months ago
I have been a left hand mouser at work for probably 15-20 years.
An early data entry job made my right wrist prone to soreness from mouse use. I am very much right handed, but left hand mousing 90% of the time feels totally natural now. If I’m at going using the mouse on the right, it’s usually for photo editing or PC games.
- vulkanbutt ( @vulkanbutt@startrek.website ) 2•11 months ago
I have the same experience, and now I won’t go back to using a regular mouse. They look weird but work great.

Honestly USB C adapters. If you EDC a portable power bank it’s worth looking into a USB C to micro and thunderbolt adapter. It’s a lot easier than carrying around multiple cords and an easy way to help out friends and coworkers.
I think I got mine for a few dollars on Ali Express

Good flashlights. You can get a great one that’s rechargeable and super bright for something like 30€. At the same price you can get a crappy one at your local hardware store which is the options most people choose.
- 👁️👄👁️ ( @mojo@lemm.ee ) English2•11 months ago
Why this over a phone flashlight
- AapoL ( @AapoL@sopuli.xyz ) 1•11 months ago
Phone flashlights are optimized for photos. They don’t shine very bright for example. You need to see even a good 30€ flashlight. Super bright compared to that. Also if you are in a situation that means you need to have battery on your phone, using the flashlight drains it a lot. Also on some flashlights you can use as a powerbank. For someone living in a city, it’s maybe not it but if you are even a bit remote or like to do hiking or something its super useful. Idk I probably have read too much r/flashlights. It’s like collecting knives man.
- 👁️👄👁️ ( @mojo@lemm.ee ) English1•11 months ago
I can see that, I just personally never have been in a situation where I felt like I needed one lol. Well, except when I need a flashlight held up and my phone keeps tripping over

- Hazzia ( @Hazzia@discuss.tchncs.de ) 18•11 months ago
It wouldn’t be everybody’s cup of tea, but purely from a “not enough of even their target audience knows about it,” I’d have to say the CharaChorder One.
CharaChorder makes chorded input keyboards to increase typing speeds (chorded input is when you press a couple of keys simultaneously, and it autofills a whole word mapped to that key combo - great for long-but-common words).
The CharaChorder One version (as opposed to CharaChorder Lite) actually has a completely different format, and almost resembles an arcade machine’s controls if every finger on each hand gets one or two joysticks to control. This obviously nets it a steep learning curve, which is probably a major reason it hasn’t picked up steam, but it’s great for normal issues like carpral tunnel, or accessibility issues where you have limited hand movement. It also has an ambidextrous mode where you can set all the normal keys to one side of the keyboard, which is, again, great for accessibility, but also if you want to have your free hand on a mouse or… something… else…
