I’ve always wondered this. I would like to have a beeday except I am worried that they might spray crap everywhere.
Sorry for the incredibly mundane thread.
Do you mean a bidet?
I was picturing the beekeeper, on the day he puts the hives out in the orchards. Which is this month, otherwise I don’t know where I’d’ve got that from. And I don’t think they’re sprayed with anything, but I had a spectacular mental picture of honey bees covering a bee guy with poo. It’s time to go home, clearly.
I’ve always wondered this. I would like to have a beeday except I am worried that they might spray crap everywhere. Anyone got/used one?

Damn. This got double posted! It said ‘user can only post one message every 60 seconds’ on the first try, so It must have posted anyway.
Yes I mean bidet.
Hoo boy…
Well, I suppose if you took a dump IN the actual bidet, and then turned it on, it might spray it back up at you.
Or, (and don’t stop me before you’ve heard me out), you could try using the actual toilet to crap in, and the bidet to wash yourself off afterwards.
Just be careful. You don’t want a repeat of what happened to me in Florence the first time I tried to use one. Oh, that reminds me, don’t use one for the first time when you’re apocalyptically drunk.
Ha ha!
Of course I realize not to dump in the bidet. I mean, would it spray the crap from your arse onto your pants or t-shirt?
If they sprayed crap everywhere, I imagine that millions of people wouldn’t be using them on a regular basis.
You do know you are supposed to use the toilet first, right?
You then use toilet paper just like we do in America. Then you get on the bidet and wash. So there’s really no crap to spray, unless you’ve got really short arms or something.
And I think you’ve got the wrong idea about the force of the spray. It’s not a Shower Massage. It’s just a little gentle fountain-spray of water. Hardly enough to get on your shirt or pants unless you’re extremely uncoordinated.
You use a bidet AFTER having used the toilet, NOT instead of. The water spray washes away the traces of your bowel movement, and sends them down the drain. You can regulate the spray to make it stronger, or you can use it for a longer period of time to get as squeaky clean as you want. Since water is the universal solvent, you’ll get clean eventually. Pruny, maybe, but definitely clean.
I’ve looked at a number of the after-market add-on bidets that OpalCat told us about in Bruce_Daddy’s thread the other day. The water used by the nozzle isn’t coming from the toilet bowl, it’s supplied through a T-connection on the water line going into the toilet tank. It is, in short, untouched by poo.
HTH
Acutally, I was picturing some horrible, horrible birthday (b-day) ritual in which bad things happen to the b-day boy at a bizarre fraternity house party.
It’s not like bidets have a pot scrubber cycle. In fact, make sure you don’t confuse it’s gentle stream for a water fountain.
And not all bidets have the water jet feature. When I lived in Italy my bathroom had a bidet that had water taps and a plug just like the sink. You turned on the water, adjusted the temperature to your liking, plugged the drain, and then sat down to provide your nether regions with a relaxing soak.
If you do that, make sure the plug is facing down.
