Bidets đź’¦ đź’¦ đź’¦

I’ve never used one or been around them (I’m from Texas) What did one do in the past when there was no “air dryer” function? Did you just sit there after the water squirted up your hole and let it drip-dry? I think toilet paper would be too delicate to dry a wet hole. So many questions.....

Toto toilets make one with a bidet in the seat. Wonderful.

Odd that the US with it’s clean obsession doesn’t use them. My GI doctor recommenced it as the solution for hemorrhoids and lots of GI issues. So even if one is not gay, bidets are important. Every gay man should have one.

There was usually a small hand towel placed on the faucets of the bidet for drying purposes.

We had them in our houses in England, growing up, but no one ever seemed to use them. Now people seem to giggle at them and pull them out. I don't see what's so funny about them. I think they're a good idea.

In fact I had an attachment installed to my toilet earlier this year. Much nicer than scraping your ass with bog paper.

R17 has a tendency to leave posters here wishing she had a steam hose up her cunt to blow out her controlling entitlement.

We always had bidets in our bathrooms with toilets (most of our bathrooms weren't for that purpose) or waterclosets. It was just normal. Soft cotton towels were laid out conveniently if they were needed, and just as with taking a bath one would not expect to share bathtowels one would not be expected to share a towel in a WC, for whatever purpose used. We would use the hamper when done with them. We did this with our houses in England and France, and family in Italy had the same arrangements.

My grandmother did have paper, but not toilet tissues. She had soft and larger paper wipes. Frugal. And as she said she had a small house and not many people were using her facilities.

Americans' habits of dry-wiping and walking about apparently foul-bottomed always was a point of discreet humor with us. Seeing tourists picking and pulling at their back ends as they do would require stifling snickers when they'd walk past a cafe. Worse was the gentlemen who walked like movie cowboys, careful to stride with their legs apart. We could only imagine what the problem there was, but preferred not to ponder too deeply.

To the people who have questions about the efficacy of a bidet: it's similar to pointing a handheld shower head on your butthole. Just a smaller (diameter) stream of water (like a Waterpik), aimed at the correct area. You can use toilet paper afterwards, mostly to absorb water. It's very effective; you do feel much cleaner afterwards, vs. just toilet paper. I would still use soap at least 1X per day (during your daily shower or bath).

Wipe to remove whatever you can, then finish with the bidet.

In your own home, in your private bathroom, you can wash your asshole (with or without soap) on the bidet, just as you would in the shower. Of course you keep a towel at hand and wash your hands afterwards.

When I had my bathrooms redone in 2005 I had a bidet installed in the bathroom in one guestroom. Back in those days I had far more out of town visitors than I have now. I had it installed mainly for the female relatives who came to stay. I have never once used the thing myself, or had any desire to. Personally I like flushable wet wipes. I know some people have claimed those things do clog up pipes, but as i live in a high rise I'm not concerned.

I grew up with a bidet and cannot bear to live without one. As a child underwear model, it was important to keep my bottom clean. My nanny (how I miss you!) put out special towels for me that were folded into a swan. For this reason, whenever I eat swan, I’m brought back to those special times.

I love these threads. A bunch of morons always come on them and act like a squirt of water on their ass actually sterilizes their ass. It doesn't. You're a little cleaner with a bidet, but not by much. Water doesn't really clean your ass. You need soap if you want to have a clean ass

And the slob poster above who keeps going on and on about having towels laid out in the bathroom to wipe his ass when he was raised in England/Europe is hilarious. How disgusting to have towels all over the bathroom with the remnants of shit all on them. And he seems really proud of that fact. About as disgusting as his dirty dick

R69, I have both of those bidets. The comparison is spot on. The Toto has better pulsating nozzle function to clean around your anus. It's built in air dryer and odor filter works better. In terms of maintenance, the Toto's underside has fewer nooks and crannies, therefore less chance for fecal splatter to deposit and easier to clean. The remote is fancier, of course it's twice the price of the Biobidet. The main advantage of Biobidet over Toto is the enema function. You can essentially fill your rectum with water, hold for several seconds then let it all out. Heaven!

It would cost me more than the bidet to hire an electrician to place an outlet near my toilet.

Cheaper solution as described up thread: Use the shower hose while squatting above the drain. Spray area with Tilex or other disinfectant afterward. Lysol will do.

Because we've all been there where we can feel a little irritation at the sphincter and we know skid marks will ensue if not flushed out.

No. R86, given that it's near water, the BioBidet USPA 6800 from Costco really requires a GFI outlet. I tried it out using the nearby outlet from my indoor jacuzzi bathtub for a few weeks. It was unsightly and as another poster said, most likely dangerous. Plus the seat would get pretty hot. I was fortunate that the Luxe Bidet is very close to a vanity that hides the hose..And better still, it does not require an electrician just to get hot water. Plus great water pressure if that makes you happy.

Bidets were/are generally part of wealthy Europeans' bathrooms. In general Europeans did/do not bath and shower as frequently as Americans so they would clean where needed most. This did/does not mean that they did/do not "wipe". A bidet is not intended to take the place of "wiping" rather to clean a part of the body that perhaps needs it more- without bathing/showering. Not so hard to understand.

I don't think you need to spend a lot of money on these things. I grew up with bidets separate from the toilet bowl and missed them terribly when I moved to the US so I once bought one of those electronic bidets that you attach to your toilet bowl and had to plug in. The electronics broke down in a few months and I was out of a bidet again.

Because I don't like warm water (and much less hot water) hitting my hole when I wash, I decided to go with a simple bidet that delivers cold water and doesn't need to be plugged into the wall outlet. I have now had it for years and I couldn't be happier about it. My ass couldn't be happier either.

For more thorough prep, I use the hose in my shower which cleans much farther than a bidet.

I spent $60 for the Brondell Thinline a year ago and installed it myself by splitting the water feed line. It fits under my existing toilet seat. Water is not heated and no dryer.
