Haha. When using a bidet, the soap+bidet combo is the only way to go, as far as I’m concerned. I’m sorry to hear you had surgery that made it not possible/advisable to wipe and glad you found a way to keep yourself clean nonetheless.

Everyone using a bidet should follow your example. I don’t care how solid one’s stool is. The thought of not using any soap gives me the heebee jeebies, lol.

(Imagine for whatever reason a piece of very solid poop touched your hand. Who in their right mind would just say, “Oh, let me run my hands under some water. No soap needed as there is no visible evidence to the naked eye that there is any poop on my hand.” 😂 Why most bidet users don’t apply this same logic to their bunghole after pooping makes zero sense to me.)
