Why don't they have verandas? Basements? Escalators? Just because there is such a thing doesn't mean it has to be incorporated into everything. Buy one and hire a plumber, ya lazy bum.

My bathroom can barely fit a toilet, shower and sink. I think most bathrooms are just too small for non-essential items like that.

Just buy a pack of flushable wipes.

Considering we don't have enough homes for each citizen as it is, let's fix that first, then get particular about accoutrements.

And so it begins. First, a new coronavirus variant. Then, a carefully-orchestrated shortage of bog-paper. Finally, every homeowner in Europe wants a bidet. It's all as plain as day now - the plumbers done it!!

Simpler to attach a spray fitting to the water inlet for the cistern.

Probably a ploy by Big Bidet to gain more market share. Crafty bastards.

I warned ye about this! OP is obviously part of an international bidet conglomerate.

Don’t do that. Even though the wipes themselves are flushable, a huge proportion of Irish plumbing uses old pipes that can’t handle them.

Because we don't wash our feet .

If you have good water pressure upstairs, there's an adapter for the toilet that you can hook up and hose your hole.

suicide_circus · 10-03-2020 04:27PM

from the first time i went to south east asia i have been asking this question. the bum squirt guns are just such an improvement on toilet paper. i think one problem is the ambient temperature of the water in the pipes. in india you are blasting your ring with luke warm water, in ireland it would be FRAYZING

Love a good bum gun, especially on a scorching hot day.

They're awesome.

Added benefit: no need to be hoarding toiletpaper.

NIMAN · 10-03-2020 04:32PM

We had one in the 80s.......was never used for its intended purpose.

Only as a foot bath.

Yup. Even though ambient water temp here would be baltic compared to somewhere east

I'd still have one hooked up to the toilet if I could as they're cheaper in long run, won't potentially wreak your sewage system and are much cleaner. Anyone who thinks they aren't compared to using jacks roll is mad in the head.

Yeah, that happens in a lot of houses that do have bidets.

I remember it and to be honest it had very little water pressure.
Don't think it would have shifted much material, if you get my drift.

And then how would you dry your rear? With a towel?:eek:

Ray Palmer · 10-03-2020 04:39PM

Our house had one when we moved in. Completely useless as there was no water pressure. The hose attached to the toilet is a good idea and I had been planning on getting one

10-03-2020 04:50PM

The first house I liven in as an adult had one, it was brilliant if you are a woman, most modern houses do not have a big enough bathroom for one but if I has a choice I would get one again.

Why does everyone seem to bring everything back to the homelessness issue.

The problem is more complicated than just building homes.

Miley had a Bidet

Till he had his way with Fidelma

the_pen_turner · 10-03-2020 05:16PM

I'm not familiar with the bidet system. How well does it work for each of the situations it may encounter. Does the viscosity and adhesive properties make much diference to how well 8t cleans

How do you know your clean enough

What do you dry up with and where does that end up

Does it tickle

Granadino · 10-03-2020 05:19PM

why don't we have the roll down blinds you see all over the continent on houses, apartments etc.

Sky King · 10-03-2020 05:19PM

I panic-bought 6 bidets this morning

lertsnim · 10-03-2020 05:24PM

I'd love one of those Japanese toilets.
