Obligatory I’m not drinking out of my bidet, and I know that the warning is for consumption. But sometimes it gets waaaay up in there.

The old comparison- if you got shit on your shoe/hand/wherever. Would you feel adequately clean just wiping it away with paper? If so, please don’t shake my hand.

I will shit wherever, but since switching to the bidet away games just hit different.

I wish I had some way to monetize this. But I’m surprisingly fulfilled knowing a stranger on the internet will be using less TP and having a cleaner butthole.

No hate, but you bidet folks proselytize more than the worst phish fans. Always finding reasons to bring it up and talking about how it ruined all other similar experiences for you. My sister and BIL installed a bidet 3 years ago and it comes up often. Im convinced! We will be installing one when we move to our new house next month

It’s also gotten easier and more affordable then ever to get a bidet. You can buy one for $30 on Amazon and install it yourself. You’ll never go back

even though OP is biting my goof from earlier I can't recommend a bidet enough. I've had one for about five years and I'm now exclusively a home court guy. I don't have a hot water hookup, it's just a basic water spray, and I adjusted within days to the cold water on my special area. It's one of the best $25 I've ever spent.

It's not latex though. They said it's butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate. Lying liars gonna lie.

Who is they? I’ve only seen it reported as latex.

Idk why you're getting downvoted. Latex is all I saw too all day yesterday. I only saw the press conference because I went searching for a definitive list of chemicals so I could read the Safety Data Sheets.

Latex is a very broad term that just means and emulsion of micro polymers in water.

Some latex comes from plants and at worst will cause allergic reactions. The synthetic ones have a pretty wide range of uses and chemical make ups. A lot are marketed as harmless, but a lot were invented in the past 10 years and haven't been fully studied for potential long term effects. Some are known carcinogens, allergens and "forever" chemicals.

The specific chemicals involved in this spill are butyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate and methyl methacrylate, which are synthetic organic compounds that are used in latex paint.
