    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?

    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.

    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.
    :o:p

    Mighty for reading a book on while the warm water massages your hole.

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

    Bidets are useless. They don't even flush.

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

    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

    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,

    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

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

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

    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!

    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
