Why aren't bidets and toilet/baby wipes standard toilet accessories in Ireland?

    Unless you're receiving rimjobs twice a day I really don't see the need-it's your arse; it's a dirty, smelly place no matter what way you clean it.

    Definitely something I plan on having in my house once I become a homeowner(If finances allow), many times after a night out or a burrito, I've had to jump in the shower to keep my bum hygiene in check, and the refreshing feeling from a bidet is incredible.

    I'd never considered this! It's genius! All the times the only thing distracting me from my hangover was the burning sensation left from last nights kebab! The relief would be orgasmic!

    A quick scrub in the kitchen sink with the dish brush and you're good as new.

    Just remember to rinse out the brush after you're done before scrubbing other dishes :(

    My parents, now in their eighties installed a Japanese style toilet complete with arse sprinkler and hot air dryer, I was like WTF! They explained that having nursed elderly parents through the messy years, they had no will to inflict that on each other nor us the kids.

    Smart thinking.

    I pity anyone who has to put up with the company of neanderthals that don't have bidets and toilet wipes...

    The bizarre thing about non western style toilets in many North African and middle eastern counties is that they are effectively a hole in the floor. Directional usage is difficult at best if at all by most users. Ime they are universally rank even with the availability of a complimentary hosepipe for washing your a/hole. The design of these 'sanitary units' involves actually standing / squatting in the sh1te tray albeit on a slightly raised area - it still means that your footwear will come out covered in whatever is on the floor. And I can tell you this much there are few bleddin bidets or baby wipes available for use either. You are lucky if there is a sink and towel of any description to properly wash your hands after. Oh yeah and you have to bring your own loo roll. Did I mention the general stench ? Clean me ^rse!

    And yet it gets you in the proper physical position to completely empty yourself.

    But if course, the western sit down toilets with toilet paper to smear the poo around and perhaps clog the sewers up with your unflushable wet/baby wipes and sanitary products (they disappear around the U-bend so of course they're flushable!) must be the vastly superior system, simply because it's what we're used to and we know better, eh? Nevermind the warnings on the sanitary products that they should be wrapped and disposed of carefully, and that baby wipes should never be flushed, and from the water board spending money on digging out fatbergs of used oil and tampons. THEY DISAPPEAR ROUND THE U BEND AND THEREFORE THEY DON'T EXIST ANY MORE BECAUSE MAGIC,

    From the point of view of many on this forum it's actually amazing that the human race continues at all without modern western hygiene standards, given that the vast majority of this planet's population doesn't shower daily, a hefty percentage of them don't possess enough clothes to change daily and about a third don't have any toilets at all. You'd think that if it was so vital then humans would be extinct in certain areas.

    By the way, this:

    That's very debatable - have you read the instructions for men + funnel needed by women to properly use these things?? Seriously ? Btw most westerners ime do not use BABY WIPES to clean their a/holes and flush down the toilet.

    But hey whatever you are into man - the thread needed some different views on toilet types :rolleyes: but yes give me a western style toilet & toilet roll any day thanks.

    Given that those are highly luxurious inventions that even most first world westerners don't even indulge in, you're trolling.

    You could just admit that you have no idea what my own personal hygiene practices are and were being reactionary and that way you might be able to save some face.

    Again I will ask, why were you rolling your eyes so many times? Did I shock you? Appal you? Did you not see the sarcasm?

    You do realise that that is neither the bidet or toilet wipes you were bemoaning the lack of in your OP, don't you? It's a butthose and I am intimately familiar with it since they're common in hot countries.

    Not so common in Ireland, though... one would almost consider it a luxury to go out of your way to have one fitted in a bathroom reinstall. Do you see a lot of butthoses in Irish houses? Perhaps you move in different circles than I do.

    Hey chill. You replied to my post not the other way round! But trust me I really really do not want to know 'your' personal hygiene practices! Btw 'saving face' ain't a big issue here. And emoticons - smiley face, rolleyes etc are a very common device on boards - They are used all the time - like this :D;) :rolleyes: ...

    Edit: The purpose of emoticon?
    Answer: The purpose of the emoticon, is to show an emotion using symbols.

    It still does the exact same thing. You seem so personally offended to get this defensive from what's so far been a lighthearted thread lol

    Anyone know that feel when you use someone else's bathroom and instantly lose respect when you see they don't even have toilet wipes, let alone a bidet? It confirms your suspicions of why they sometimes smell bad.

    Oh so light hearted and gay and merry. You must be a real blast at parties.

    Not mad, more highly amused at people who cannot communicate effectively on a discussion forum via text and have to resort to pulling virtual faces instead of formulating a coherent response.

    Anyway, never mind that off topic emoticon nonsense, Do you really know so many people with bidets fitted or do you just think that everyone else is Neanderthals in comparison to yourself?
