I seriously do not understand the cultural reluctance to adopting the bidet. After using one it becomes instantly clear how awful the alternative is.
Hi I’m from the TP lobby, but don’t you want to smear poo around on yourself with a piece of paper that will probably rip anyway and get it all over your hand too? 🥺
I can’t believe people don’t want to feel their own buttholes. Smh my head.
American Conservatives think washing buttholes is the ghey.
As someone from a country where bidets are normalized, I was horrified when I learned what the toilet paper in Western cartoons was actually used for.
Wait you don’t use both?
I think they mean that they didn’t realise the toilet paper was used for “cleaning” instead of just for drying up after the cleaning was done.
Mostly speculation on my part and remembering conversations from decades ago, but at least in the US among men, anything touching your butthole = gay. Using a bidet is something those effeminate Europeans use and not something for manly Americans. These same men think that actually cleaning your butthole in the shower is also gay. Fortunately this mainly seems to be a mindset that older generations hang onto, as I talk to younger folks (Millennial and younger), they seem to be much more open to bidet usage. I have one installed at home and I don’t feel clean if I have to do my business somewhere without one.
I’ve noticed this as well and have starting using bidets as a quality of life improvement flex.
Hard to pretend you’re the man when you’re walking around with a nasty ass and I’m over here feeling fresh as fuck on the hottest day of the summer.
Haha. If I have to do business elsewhere I’ll give myself a rinse when I get home in order to freshen up.
I put off getting one for a long time just because I didn’t see a problem with the way things were going. If only I had realized sooner how much better life could be.
Gay: remotely squirting water at your butt. Not gay: shoving your hand up your butt covered by the world thinnest paper.
Right! Maybe it’s due to its French origin. Freedom lovers can’t stand French things.
The US really has a French origin, they provided the materiel support it needed to revolt. The statue of liberty was a French gift. How far the US has fallen to forget all of that.
Oh wow. Look at Mr. moneybags over here with the Japanese Toto Washlet.
Costco + coupon + birthday = clean butt
Good old birth day rim job.
Where coupon you speak of
It was a discount applied on the web. It might expired
Running till end of day, I found it, good looking out, we’re about to both be shitting like kings
When your first sick or ‘magic marker poop’ hits you will feel the most magical moment when your not stuck wiping 20 times.
The irony of Japan - world’s finest toilets and no Mexican food.
RIGHT???
Whenever I mentioned tacos over there they were like “yeah we already have tako.” (Squid)
I usually see “poor Mexican food” which is more accurate, but still not fully. We have Mexican, Tex-Mex, Cali-Mex, etc. here. Not a ton, but we get more and more.
Thanks to the MAHA blast, anything with lettuce now gives you il diarrhea loco experience.
That’s a fancy one. Mine only has two settings, drinking fountain on my butthole or power wash the inside of my colon.
Mine was literally the cheapest I could find (Amazon flash sale during COVID for maybe $30?) and isn’t even powered, but still manages to have a continuous knob to adjust pressure, along with three buttons for where to aim the spray (butt, front, and self-clean).
Yeah, same. Cheap, no power other than my water pressure and no warming either so the water is always cold. 🥶
But, it gets the job done.
Yeah, back when I was properly plumbed we had two. One expensive one with a tank on the side of the toilet for warm water kept the same temperature for as long as, well I gave it to my cool brother before I started dating my wife and she didn’t want a bidet don’t get me started I think it still works tho, and one cheap one with just pressure control and just cold water, but was great if you ever needed to do a little spring cleaning and that one is in the home office and I just did a little spring cleaning last week. $35 gets you where you need to go
Yeah, that pretty much sounds like mine as well. OP has way more options there.
And the knob is counter intuitive to every other water control knob. Wtf is this clockwise is ON bullshit? The number of times I let Blastoise wash my bum…
You can buy a separate valve to install between the water supply and the bidet, to limit the super powerful “stab of doom” spray.
ONE OF US! ONE OF US!
The greater good
Shut it!
I think I’d spend the money on making the toilet cubby bigger first, but then yeah!
Welcome. Others are beneath you now, but remain kind.
Agreed. Those walking around in their own filth are not savages, they just do not know any better.
Although not advisable, a bidet can be used as an emergency shower.
When testing ours, I turned the knob and sprayed the wall lol.
Get ready for the experience of traveling, needing a shit and then realizing there won’t be a bidet.
Vacations are so much less enjoyable now. Like it shouldn’t ruin my whole experience, but it kinda does.
Go to Japan, ig?
as an arab you couldn’t imagine my shock when i travelled abroad and experienced the joy of hemorrhoids for the first time lol
They say travel reveals new sides of your self.
I spend a lot of time working away from the office at sites.
I have a bidet at home and specifically save my shits for when I get home.
My ass just dosnt feel properly clean these days if I have to shit like a commoner.
You can use a portable bidet. It’s not as good as a mounted one but still.

Don’t name your shit. That’s childish.

Even though Captain‘s Log would be a great name
Settle down, Johnny Splashenschmear.
Wish I could join the club but my wife is resistant. She’s grossed out by the concept and wouldn’t use the toilet that has it.
She has weird OCD issues like that (butt I still love her with all my heart).
It sucks because I went to Japan earlier this year and my room had one of these, which made me realize that someone hasn’t experienced the best life has to offer until they’ve had their butthole power washed by one of these things.
Buy one for a lesser used toilet and dare her to use it once. I bet she doesn’t go back.
OCD doesn’t stand a chance against a freshly washed ass.
That’d be a hard thing to get her to try butt you’re right, can’t disagree with a freshly power washed butthole.
You could get a hand bidet or something that’s less conspicuously bidet-y.
This is what we have. Might be a good choice in this case especially as it gives much better control of where the water sprays and it’s not located in the toilet bowl.
Yeah perhaps.
Every time I have to use the washroom outside of our house I am reminded that most of these people are out there raw-dogging life with a dirty butthole for most of their lives.
It really helps to bring everyone down to the same level. And that level is directly below anyone with a bidet!
Your electrical outlet looks horrified. Presumably because of the view.
Probably horrified because it’s not a GFCI outlet.
I’m jealous they even have an outlet… but realistically the other outlet in the bathroom is GFCI and that one is wired to it so they’re all protected.
You can put GFCI on the breaker box for that circuit. Far better than individual outlets.
Prepare to #2 like a king
Confused congrats from Germany.
Is that really what you call a bidet? Because our bidets here are unrelated to the toilet and that’s a Japanese toilet. The bidet is the one for washing https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet.
The Japanese toilet uses wash sprayers to act like a bidet. Takes up less room. For some reason, Americans like dirty asses.
I know bidets and Japanese toilets but the image shown is the latter and not a bidet that’s why I’m curious if that definition is a US thing or something, I like learning.
The image shown most definitely contains a bidet.
It’s a washlet bidet, which attaches either underneath the toilet seat or as part of the toilet seat itself, and usually has controls that jut out to the right of the seat(to the right from the perspective of the seated person).
The toilet in this picture has a washlet bidet installed.
This is separate from the kind of bidets that are installed separately from the toilet, as is common in many other countries.
I think removing the need to move the dirty bottom from one hole to another is a key innovation.
Interesting, thanks!
Dual purpose. He added bidet functionality.
99% of Americans have dirty assholes, because they are dirty assholes.
You are what you eat.

I’m trying to figure out what one I can donate to scout camp. I didn’t miss anything else from home, and even wished there wasn’t AC in the adult meeting room. But the bidet was dearly missed a few times. Anyone know of an affordable bidet that will stand up to teenage boys?
Garden Hose should do the job.
Probably the external, steel sprayer type. It’s not as glamorous but I feel like anything built into a toilet seat is going to get abused beyond its design, and probably piss all over the hard-to-clean areas.
I see those fairly often at daycares and kid facilities.
These are boys, they will use it for water fights if possible.
Brondel sells one that’s a seat, so you remove the old seat and attach this. Comes with a splitter for your incoming tank water line. So obviously it’s not technical, but it works great. I use it at home. I have tile walls in my bathroom and didn’t feel like running power and busting tiles out, and it is more than serviceable, and inexpensive. We have great water pressure in my house and the thing feels like it could strip paint off a starfish.
There are a lot of models like that, but all the ones I’ve seen I wouldn’t trust in a camp with 300 teenage boys who have free-time.
Maybe we’ve solved the issue right here. I’m not sure I’d trust boys with bidets period. The ceiling will be wet, undoubtedly. They will spray each other with it.
You’re in for a treat. Far superior.
I will risk shitting myself if it means running upstairs to use my bidet
