Dude wipes are the most toxic masculine bullshit product I’ve ever seen. Honestly who the fuck buys that shit except the most fragile male ego in the universe

[–] best_username_ever 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I liked the answer that I once saw here: "Real men do whatever the fuck they want." No one cares about this kind of judgmental assholery.

Real men have painted nails when their kids say it's time to paint nails

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, Real Men™️ fall for toxic masculinity marketing tactics. Real Men™️! Also, just your average mindless consumer regardless of gender but Real Men™️, too! Especially, Real Men™️!

Be Real Men™️

Agreed. Stop flushing wipes, none of them are "flushable". If it doesn't dissolve from light manipulation when wet, it's not flushable.

Bidet. Just get one. They're like $30 and take 10min to install. Clean buttholes forever.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m sitting on a fine $700 one right now and it’s heaven. My real office.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can't even imagine what features $700 can buty you in a bidet.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Guess I was wrong about price.. it’s $850 but it’s the Toto S550e. Bought it two years ago and haven’t regretted it at all. I’m actually going to have an electrician come out to install plugs in the other bathrooms to put bidets in all of them.

The one I have now also sprays the front area for the ladies to I can’t comment on that but might be why it’s so expensive.

The seat heats, the water is warm that sprays, auto open… pretty much all you need. I will say that as a dude on the taller side (6’ 2”), I really have to scoot my ass forward quite a bit so I’d probably find something else for my next bidet.

Ah man, you've got a Cadillac.

I had me an old Panasonic model at my old apartment that wasn't as nice but goddamn if you set that MF to the strongest setting 🫨🫨. The thing would clean your ass, rectum and colon lol.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Ah that's a lot more features then even the nice hotel in Korea had. The instant heat and all the automatic stuff is probably why it's so expensive.

The second nozzle for vulvas is standard on even cheap models.

Bidets are great if you’re at home but if you travel you need something

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I've tried to get them to install one at work, but they keep slapping that one down.

You really don't. Toilet paper does the job for 90+% of people, at least in the US.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

And 90+% of the United States population walks around with shit on their ass. It's gross.

To be fair, a moistened wad or two of toilet paper works just as well as "flushable" wipes.

If it gets men to take care of themselves....I'm for it.

I know a guy that said he doesn't wash around his ass when he showers because "that's gay as hell". I don't even wanna know what kind of biome he's got flourishing down there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sounds like the kind of guy that comes out of the closet in their 80's.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Turns out there are a lot of those people. They’re probably doing fine.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago

they're probably doing better with cleaner buttholes than if these didnt exist

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Anything other than a bidet, bonus points for charging more for having more 'masculine' advertising

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not to go political but have you paid any attention to the number of supporters of the king of fragile male egos, their king? It's a huuuge market segment.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I buy them because they smell like mint. I prefer them over normal wet wipes. I didn't think this was such a passionate issue for people.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You also seem to be taking it really personally for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I buy the product, the comment attacks people who buy the product. I'm quite literally the target group. "For some reason"

[–] Classy 0 points 1 year ago

Yeah same, I got ones that smell like Shea butter, they're pretty nice. I mean if the store had other ones branded differently with the same wipes I would just buy those lol. I feel like the only ones triggered by the imagery are ironically the guys who are insecure in their masculinity and feel threatened by a literal moist toilette.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

They're larger than regular wipes, and the chemicals are less irritating. Compare to cottonelle wipes which make my down there burn, and the choice is easy. These days I prefer crocodile wipes though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So then call them “XL wipes” and put a line about sensitive skin

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Pass that along to their branding coordinators. No one here can do shit about what products are named.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

We can do a little bit by mocking the branding mercilessly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I’m just pointing out how stupid it is, you can contact their branding people all you want on my behalf!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Who’s out there wiping crocodiles?!
