Why are butt cleaning toilet attachments not more popular in America/the west?

This thread inspired me to buy one of those cheapie bidet seats from Amazon, the Neo 110. It was about $25, cold water only. I installed it a couple of days ago (easy, took about 10 minutes). I had used heated bidets in Japan before, but didn’t really want to spend $300 on one. We live in Missouri, and our tap water is very cold, just above freezing.

First, I would like to address this whole “your ass can’t feel cold” idea. Bullshit. That water is freezing, and a bit shocking. BUT. I like the seat, anyway. It takes a bit of getting used to, yes. You’re really only blasted with ice water for a few seconds, though, and then your butt hole is all nice and clean, and really the whole experience is much more pleasant than wiping. Y’all should try it.

Welcome to the cult of butt washers, sister Renee. Spread the love

Yeah, and therein lies the problem. If you run the thing in advance, it’s going to spray all over your bathroom; there is no way to keep it in the toilet without an ass on it to block the water. They do make ones that have mixers in them (this assumes you have a hot water line close enough to the toilet.) I think we can deal with the cold water, but electric ones seem more practical than ones with mixers.

And you just know those people in Hollywood have an ass-double in their contract just to warm up the bidet.

And forgo the fire hose?!!?

Actually I’ve been up and down pooping across this great country of ours and never came across one.

Though, I think it’s time. I’m gonna look into buying one.

Just bought the Brondell F-10 on Woot! On sale. StGermain linked to it above. That was the one I was aiming to buy (no pun intended) after checking out others online. Delivery 5-8 days. My family isn’t as excited as I am, they think I’m a little nuts.

Stand by for my review.

Remember, Mel does his own ass work.

without the bidet spray hose thingamajig, how do you clean the toilet itself? do you wipe it down with toilet paper?

To those who think it doesn’t help clean. To put it very grossly, think of this way. Would you be willing to have sex with your partner if just after having a crap he/she only used TP. Especially if a bidet was available?

There is a period of time between a fresh shower and toilet use of any kind.

That period of time is called sexy time.

Water spray does not kill germs. Soap does.

Spraying the toilet isn’t viable if your toilet doesn’t have floor drains, so I don’t think they could, even if they had one.

no, i was referring to the outside of the rim. guys tend to spray. a hose without a drain does not seem like a good idea.

Yes, we’re all looking for a little 20/20 hindsight here.
