OTOH, upgrade to a TOTO, or other 'smart' toilet. Need less paper that way.

My experience with these has been that I use more paper, because I always feel "wet" afterward.

Whereas with a good, solid, no-nonsense beef bomb, I can skimp a little as long as there's a good pinch at the end.

Sure, for an ideal smooth and cohesive movement with a clean exit, maybe. But I bet you’re more often carpet bombing sloppy joe’s and wading through the trenches of swamp ass

you're not wiping when you shit?!

after a bidet you can dry with one square

I wrote "skimp," not "skip."

As for the bidet, the ones I've used in Japan make me wipe more, again, because it's all wet back there, and even the ones with the air dryers don't seem to get the job done.

So, I've only used a bidet a few times while on holiday, and I did prefer it to just TP... but I don't understand how I could possibly dry that much water with a single square of tissue-thin toilet paper - paper that is specifically designed to come apart when wet?!
