Bidets...

PlainP

Bidets, yay or nay?

Now I don't have one but I think that they are a very common occurrence now-a-days??

Have only ever used one once and this was in my rich aunts house a good few years ago now.

Everyone likes a clean bum but is it not just as acceptable to make sure you give yourself a good wipe?

No.

who what when

Definitely nay. Horrible things.

The communal drying towel gets a bit rank if it's not changed often enough.

They can give girls UTI's, so I don't know how they are still used tbh.

maybe women, but hardly men.

My Grandparents have them in both their bathrooms and I don't think anyone uses them, they're just sort of there....

When I was very young I used to turn them on for fun and let the water spray all the way up to the ceiling, they're pretty powerful! The room would be soaked. Can't see how anyone would use them down below.. would that not hurt?? Maybe our's were just too powerful haha!

I think showering and wiping your arse regularly (and properly) should suffice.

They're grand for washing the sand off your feet.

Is this after the movement or you just like reading books while sitting on it?

As long as you don't think its a drinking fountain, it shouldn't matter what its called.........

Bidets are useless. They don't even flush.

And if you really want to wash your arse just sit in the sink.

Mazeire

If we can just focus on getting people to wash their hands after taking a s**t, then we can worry abou them washing their ar**s

Omackeral

I'll tell ya this, they're your friend when you've got food poisoning and there's a little bit of two-way traffic going on.

We had one back when I was a teenager so generally it would be post-movement. However there was plenty of times when it would be used for solely foot-spa-esque relaxation purposes.

AAAAAArghhhhh,
yuch

never used one, but was on hols in the middle east years ago and all normal toilets had a little jet in the middle of the bowl (with a tap on the side) to spray your arse, their sanitation systems couldnt handle paper

CageWager

There was one in the house I grew up in, the only thing it ever got used for was holding magazines!

Colilfc

They're good for holding cans in, with ice and water, like my da did away on holidays once.

Man: Good day!

Other Man: Bidet to you sir!

I think your a tad mixed up, Bidets prevent UTI's . Wiping causes them.

Nope. Wiping the wrong way can cause them.
Douching causes them - which is essentially what bidets do.
I've had many a UTI, so I know a fair bit about them!

This is how I discovered what bidets were for:

Your doing it wrong. Wiping causes far more UTI's than Bidets ever will.

Because you had a bidet, you're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know, you tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bidet, the camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bidet, you had a bidet

I know a man who could have given this question the answer it deserves.

If you mean using a bidet wrong - I've never used one.

No.
Wiping incorrectly causes them.
Douching also causes them
Why are you getting so defensive over a sh1t washer??

Bidets are very inconvenient for pooing in.

It's easy to poo in them. climbing out the window after is hard.

Did a massive puke in one in a hotel room in Spain years ago when I was hammered, nearly filled it. Forgot about it until next morning when I went into the bathroom..obviously thought it was the toliet at the time and was seeing double.

It had kind of solidified and there was no washing that stuff away without flooding the place...ah happy times..poor cleaner..

Whenever she sees threads about bidets she flies into a murderous rage. You have been warned.

Stinicker

For those who have travelled in SE Asia there is another take on this: The Bum Gun, basically it is like a high pressure water hose (A bit like commercial kitchens have for washing up) next to the toilet and you just give yourself a hose off with it.

The first time I encountered a bidet was in Lanzarote nearly ten years ago when we were young and on a family holiday, and it was our first trip abroad, my father went to the toilet and said, theres even a handy little foot bath for washing your feet and my sister then exclaimed don't be stupid it's a drinking fountain, myself and my mother nearly wet ourselfs laughing at their ignorance.

So wait, youve never used one but you claim they give UTI's of which you have experience of, but never used a bidet to get a UTI?

You are making no sense. Defensive? Nah just pointing out your misinformation.

No, what I said was that douching gives you uti's - which it does - ask your doctor, chemist, check books/online, whatever.....
And bidets are essentially douching, no?

I can't see how they are any different than putting the shower head down there, or splashing water down there with your hands - both of which you are told not to do.

Misinformation - where is this misinformation? I have no idea what you are talking about.

Bidet or not bidet? That is the question.

Even Hamlet had problems cleaning his arse.

Had they confined themselves to talking about it, and been less busy throwing it around the place, they might still be here.

The Japanese style toilets - I am definitely getting them if I ever save up enough to refurbish the bathrooms.

.....you mean the fancy things, presumably. Them hole in the floor jobs mixed with drunken irish people seem more a recipe for messy disaster.

Everyone has an arsehole buddy, just like their opinions, they can be fairly sh1tty sometimes.

Always thought bidets were useless hateful things. Then we moved into a rental house that has one, I thought it would never be used. Fast forward to the 9th month of pregnancy and all associated bottom issues. Wonderful things, bidets.
