Baexpats Bidet Poll

[Ceviche]

I could never understand how people who use toilet papers feel clean for rest of the day till their next shower.

That part of the body region can not feel clean or be clean without the use of water after defacation.

Going to public toilets with just paper is always a nightmare.

Ive never had a bidet in my life, but I am 100% pro bidet now after living here. I think Ive got the perfect spot to get one installed in my main bathroom at my house back in the states, if i ever live there again of course.

It's pretty strange that the US is one of the few countries that doesn't use them.

Outside of Europe and southern Latin America they are very rare. At least that is my experience. I don't remember seeing one bidet in Ecuador, Peru, Panama, Mexico, Cuba, Viet Nam, China, Laos, Cambodia or Thailand.

The pro-bidet crowd are so prone to exaggeration.

This poll and thread is missing something very important: the clip-on bidet. My old apartment had an apparatus attached to the regular toilet with a swivel handle and a spigot. A quick flip and turn all was clean and ready to go in seconds. No need to move over to the space-taking underwear washer.

I stayed in a few hotels in Japan with similar contraptions but with heated water. That, my friends, is the pinnacle of civilization. I know Hybrid-San knows what I am talking about.

In a lot of parts of the world they put a kitchen sink sprayer on a hose next to the toilet. It may be intended for cleaning the toilet but I use em as a poor man's bidet.

Are you suggesting to use cold water to wash there? :-o
