Worthless Napkins!!

Today I was reminded of those horrible soap-on-a-stick things that used to be the norm here. Few are left, thank God.
 
Don't know if those existed here, but they used to in France (good aiming is the key)

OMG no.... actually I had an unfortunate encounter with one. There's a Kentucky Pizza (lol, I still chuckle) on Santa Fe. and Thames... that has those...
 
Hilarious thread. We had Argentine friends in Colombia who were fascinated by the variety of toilet paper and other paper products available there. They decided such quality was necessary due to the lack of bidets. :p

I am not opposed to the idea of using the bidet on a daily basis. The toilet paper here is horrible and of course ridiculously expensive. I just don't understand how people use the bidet. What I really mean is, I don't understand what people do after they use it. Does each person keep a towel near the bidet? What if you live with multiple other people in a house with one bidet and you get your bidet towels mixed up? Gross. The first time I used a bidet was in France, out of curiosity. I finished and was then dripping wet, and so used toilet paper to dry myself off. After that I decided it was pointless as long as one showers on a regular basis, since I ended up using toilet paper anyway. Particularly for women, it's not a great idea health-wise to pull up your pants with dripping wet private parts.

So is there some universally accepted method to drying off after using the bidet that I'm just unaware of? Or do people just not dry themselves off? I'm really curious about this.

Actually, I think I can guess why there's no toilet paper in the picture, just a bucket of water. Why do people in Maghreb eat with their right hand only? (aside of religious reasons)

theres an ass towell in every house!!
 
I think expats gringos would be happy with a real shower and yank the bidets (nasty flower pots) and bath tubs out of Argentine bathrooms.
Enough hot water for the shower would be nice also.
Bidets in a guest bathrooms...unbelievable.... c@rp at home before you arrive and if you "Have To Go" you have been here long enough.
We would have German “shelf toilets” also if Argentines knew they existed.

Problem solved
