Wait, those exist? I might have to look into it, because I can't install a normal bidet in my apartment (horrible Soviet era piping all over the place)
Tons of places do not have bidets. Hell, numerous places here still have squat toilets. I guess they are common in many tourist spots and stations in bigger cities. I have some occasional digestive issues and tend to know where toilets with washlets are in places I frequent.
We had them and then moved to a new place with solid metal lines going to the toilet so I couldn't reinstall our bidets. I lived in luxury for years only to have it snatched away... Don't take your bidet for granted people.
Does your toilet's water line have connectors on either side, or is it just straight from the wall to the toilet? If the latter, you really need to talk to a plumber, but the former can be solved by just getting a new hose line.
Sorry! Didnt mean to offend! Indians typically use their hands to wipe their butts with water. I think it is cleaner and uses less water relatively. The joke I intended to make was that India has been using water to wash themselves for several years whereas the west needed the invention of a bidet to force the change.
Funny thing is during the time period of the folks dressed here…. They were dirty nasty and thought taking baths actually made you sick. These guys would have had shit encrusting there assholes in cookie cutter shapes like stars and hearts, and they would have smelled worse than a alcoholic who pissed themselves on the subway.
Not really. Bathing in the 17th century was more common than a lot of people realize. Check this link out for a historian that argues this in an article: https://frockflicks.com/the-gross-18th-century/
"Wipers watching bidet users spray their nasty all over."
Two sides of the same coin if you ask me. The happy medium is the dry wipe followed by the wet wipe then another dry.
It’s directed water, and goes straight into the bowl. There’s no ‘all over’ unless you’re doing it wrong.
Also, I hope you’re not flushing those wet wipes. They lie about being biodegradable and cause fatbergs in the sewer that workers have to go down and clear.
As someone that had a fancy bidet and returned it my main selling point was "reduce tp" during covid. It just didn't work with its fan blowing, I still had to use tp to dry my ass afterwards ans to thr people that say, "just use a towel" like wtf then you have a shit ass stinking towel next to you in the bathroom. Especially so since I wash my towels after a use. Point is the heated swat is goated, the wet ass and weat fan dry function is no and they aren't for me. I will scape my ass with tp will Sahara dry.
You wash your towels after a single use? Just so we're clear, you're supposed to wash yourself before you use the towel... they shouldn't be that dirty... right?
Yeah you don't? Likenyou shower daily, so you change towels daily. I have 7 towels for 7 days and wash them on Sunday. I like knowing that I am clean ans while myself with a clean towel after a clean shower.
The point of bidet is to clean your butthole, not reducing tp use. Even so, wipe away water is significantly easier and less tp use than wipe away any trace of poop.
Imagine smearing shit all over your ass and feeling clean. If human shit fell on your floor, would you wipe it a few times with dry paper and say "good enough" or bring out a disinfectant spray?
Neither dry paper nor a stream of warm water is going to clean human shit off. If you aren't using soap and some sort of scrubbing action, it still smells like shit.
Now now... It pisses on your ass, splatters your ballsack, and THEN you smear WET shit all around just like every toilet paper peasant you look down on.
And I have a bidet... but I don't strongly prefer it.
Every bidet I've ever used is like this. They're just as dirty as dry wiping, just in a different way. Like, sure; with a bidet you end up with a cleaner ass after wiping yourself dry, but you can get the same result with a wet wipe but with less collateral spray damage to your cheeks and legs (and balls if you're a dude).
