I accidentally bought single ply
Idk why people are under the impression that there's torrential rainfall coming off your ass after using a bidet. It's like a half teaspoon of cool moisture that dries after a few seconds. Using TP for that defeats the purpose in my opinion, but it's definitely still an option and you'll still save money by using way less of it. Some people use reusable towels for this which I find way grosser than just letting a tiny bit of water dry in your underwear

I want to have a based shitting experience

Cleaning something is a physical process that is largely made possible by the rinsing abilities of water. After dinner, try wiping one plate clean and rinsing the other and let me know which one has shit left on itboth of them??
because the way you handwash dishes is to rinse AND wipe them off???????
You wipe dishes to dry them, not to clean them. Hence the existence of dish racks
If your doodie time does not feel okay without the roll of paper, I'm not telling you to stop. But the open invitation for a clean asshole contest remains

The bidet is just shooting regular water up your ass. It's not going to be particularly effective at removing anything that could cake itself on.
There was actually a hidden second reason that I made this thread. The package boasts "12 rolls = 12 weeks!". I have finally finished the first roll as of writing this message. If I continue to use toilet paper at my current rate of 10 sheets per shart then I'm going to be wiping with single ply until October 2024.
I'm an insane person and this has continued to nag at me. Like OK, soap is needed to fully clean/disinfect your anus, sure. But speaking in terms of relative cleanliness, a blast of water definitely gets something cleaner than just a dry wipe. So even if hypothetically your ass is dripping water after using the bidet, it's still just clear tap water with a microscopic amount of ass bacteria, and wiping it away with toilet paper isn't going to make it any cleaner than it already is. I think maybe there is a skill issue or misinformation at play here. The blast of water is intense and you can unquestionably feel the enhanced cleansing power compared to wiping alone. I like it so much that I'm actually going to get a custom bidet that looks like fludd from super mario sunshine. You can consider this myth officially busted.

The dishwashing comparison shows exactly why both are necessary
A dry cloth will almost clean a dirty plate of whatever's on it
Running it under water will almost clean the same dirty plate of whatever's on it
Running it under water and then wiping it renders it visibly clean (Though not disinfected)
Dishwasher detergent is not antibacterial. What disinfects dishes in a dishwasher is the heat. The detergent is for breaking down the remaining food particles and grease.
If your bidet is not hooked up to boiling water you are blasting away the poop particles but you are NOT sterilizing it.
