Used a bidet for the first time yesterday. Don’t understand all the fuss…after the first hour on it, it was a little dull
Did you swish before spitting?
Somebody’s gonna say it.
Ah, bidets are here again!
Maybe you’re not the right species.
You’re supposed to turn the water on.
Your experience is not universal. Bidet Bliss. 
Having lived/traveled in places with a strong European influence, I’m accustomed to seeing bidets in the bathroom. As an American raised without them, I can’t figure out why they are there wasting space. The natural tendency is to find an alternative use for them, like … holding magazines for reading while sitting on the toilet, or doing handwash.
What? That’s disgusting? Yeah, probably. So the bidet just sits there unused.
Ooh, thanks for bumping that thread. As soon as we get the bathroom work inspected and signed off on, I want to get one in the master bath. (I don’t want to hire a different electrician to add the outlet, and I want the existing job to be done.)
This is, I don’t want to hire another electrician UNTIL everything has been signed off on.
I find it very tiring to have to kneel just to brush your teeth…
If you’re that thirsty, keep a glass in the bathroom.
Saw an actual bidet for the first time as I just got back from a trip to Sicily, as they were in all the hotel bathrooms. I saw them as space clutter and wondered if the spout of water they might spray might get messy. I wondered why they were so low too: so much so that the squat they would obviously require that there was also a trellis/ladder looking rack on the wall above it to allow a user to lower and raise themselves.
Way too much engineering for a bathroom.
We have the toilet/bidet combination, which solves the laments voiced above. Stay seated, push a button, and within 7 seconds, pulsing warm water hits the pre-programmed spot. Easy peasy.
They’re so low because they weren’t designed for HUGE americans but for tiny Southern-European ladies, such as my grandma (who wasn’t a lady but was barely 5’ zip, and tall for a woman her age). And they stay that way because those of us who are not tiny find that height comfy when using them to wash our feet.
Oh, so they spout warm water. I’m not as repulsed then.
First hour? :dubious:
It was a joke. I loved the bidet.
Well, he claims he’s the most electable, but…
Oh, you said bidet!
I met a guy who used the bidet to hold all the shampoo bottles and cremes and other bathroom stuff. So, you see, they are always useful, no matter what.
My brother put a bidet seat on his toilet, and I love that thing! And I’m pretty sure it loves me.
