    A bidet is no three seashells.

    Probably coz it's just freezing all the time.

    this seems to be purposed for something else, being limited to 650 ml per use ...looking at devices that are meant to use lets say 0.5 litres of water /minute - when the cleansing process can be few minutes long ... don't think this is really a replacement for those.


    but then, on OP - think bidets, or even too much toilet paper should not be necessary for ppl with a healthy gut/bowel movements - more info in this article https://www.wellandgood.com/good-advice/healthy-poop-toilet-paper-signs/

    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.

    Hairdryer, of course! On medium heat setting :p

    My friend's parents got one fitted when we were kids. Just assumed it was a weird toilet and pee'd in it. I was then informed that it was a "bum washer".

    Wash your arse when you jump in the shower if ya want.

    Personally I don't like bidet's as a cleaning method


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 14,954 ✭✭✭✭JupiterKid


    My family home that I grew up in, in suburban Dublin had a bidet in the main bathroom. The house was built in the 1970s and I think bidets were very briefly in vogue back then (along with the vile carpets in the bathrooms).

    I don't think anyone actually used it, or I suppose admitted to using it. The old bidet had a sprinking jet of water that shot up from the base that we messed with as kids. :D

    I use a similar contraption to rinse my sinuses :D

    Do what they do in India
    Fit a hose onto the wall next to the toilet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,067 ✭✭✭Ficheall


    I always use a squirt of baby cream onto the toilet paper for the second or third approach. Works wonderfully.

    Just install a little shower head thing beside the toilet.
    Every house in Finland has them.
    Have seen them in a few Muslim countries also.
    No need for a while diffenrt toilet thing. A hose will do the same job

    how would you know - you don't have one?

    works well I can tell you :pac:

    saves the hassle of installing a hose and it's portable.

    When you say "baby cream"... Well, its not the stuff you make yourself, is it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,252 ✭✭✭FTA69


    They make sense like. If you had sh*t smeared on your forearm for instance would you be content to just give it a wipe with some paper?

    I'm definitely getting an arse washer in my next gaff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,819 ✭✭✭Aglomerado


    Power washer from Lidl, now with arse washer attachments.

    I rented a house in Derry a while ago that had a bidet, never used it and I don't think anyone else did. Used them on holidays before and I have to admit, after a serious feed of spicy Asian food the night before, those washers were a pleasant experience in the morning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    I love a bumgun. Don't feel clean without it so another reason I am not fond of coming home to Ireland. If I ever move back, my house will have one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    Water is fûck all use in cleaning your hole if you’re after 4 solid days of fried breakfasts, pints, and late night kebabs. What you need is lovely soft 4-ply toilet tissue, and lots of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,266 ✭✭✭Shlippery


    Just back from Japan....all i'll say is...game changer.

    Don't knock it til you've tried it.


    Even has a little button to play a jingle.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,068 ✭✭✭BENDYBINN


    Why don’t Irish houses have bitches I thought the title said.....they do and plenty of them....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 41,974 ✭✭✭✭Hotblack Desiato


    Can't beat a good scrub with soap and water Johnny. You wouldn't 'clean' sh1t off your hand with only paper now would you?

    I'm partial to your abracadabra

    I don't like them.

    What kind of freaky fetishist enjoys squirting cold water on their balloon knot.

    Fúck that shít!
