Backing up to the bidet thing … how do you dry off then? In a public place you would still need the TP right?
And if someone’s using the bidet at MY house (when I get one), how do I keep the guests from patting their fannies dry on my hand towels? First World Problem I know.:rolleyes:
If that’s not an exaggeration then might I recommend using wet wipes instead? I fear for your heiney’s health.
Quite possibly, it’s that they’re being lied TO (by others) instead. Am I the only person to have known someone to go through the “I don’t have to shower daily and I don’t stink at all!” phase? (Spoiler alert: yes, yes you do stink, you stinky little stinkety-stink.)
True dat. Between the energy used to clean/purify the water in the first place, the energy to heat it, the energy to re-clean/purify after washing … oy vey.
ETA: I see what SerafinaPekala did there … <Beavis>Heh. Heh. “Backing up.” Heh." </Beavis>
Theres a reason we’ve evolved to using disposable things imho. Are these “butt cloth” women still using those nasty Diva Cups I wonder? Scroll down to T S Johnson’s 2006 Amazon review of the thing if you dont already know what this contraption is. Just dont read it out loud at the restaurant please.
OK, serious post here. My bidet is a separate fixture, not part of the toilet.
Three or four squares on the toilet to remove any Klingons, then lots of warm water on the bidet followed by another four squares or so. Depending on diet, maybe a few more squares here or there.
I’ve heard there are parts of the world where people just use the fingers of one hand to clean up their business and then rinsed them clean in bowl of water. I forget where, but it was someplace that I expected to be more developed than that. India, maybe?
It’s common in these parts to see a hose and no paper.
Have also seen just a bucket of water with no hose.
Hose is pretty easy to use once you’ve done it once or twice…just point into the bowl, turn on, squirt the backside till clean then turn off. No splashing or anything.
If you have paper can dry off, but round here it doesn’t really matter - the temperature never drops below 25C so you don’t really care (or I don’t) and the amount of water left over is no worse than drying your hands on your pants after washing them (something else I will do)
