What's your take on bidets/bum sprays?

There’s someone at work who doesn’t flush after doing a poo Some colleagues have seen the result. We need to find out who it is by working out when they were in.

I knew the concept of flushing the toilet after using it aged 3

We had a very upset employee at one place that would randomly poop on the floor, we called him the phantom pooper. Never found out who it was.
 
i don't get the need for a bidet, but that's not because i think toilet paper is ok, as i don't, it's disgusting and i never use it, but because i don't see why you wouldn't just jump in the shower and wash your backside in a shower using body wash. it takes all of 15 seconds to do after a poop, and is by far the cleanest option.
 
I lived in Korea for around 4 years and got used to the fancy bogs with heated jets and more buttons than a typical HOTAS.

Temp control for the seat
Temp control for the water jets
Pressure control for the water
Temp control for the air blower
Fan speed control
about 5 different mode buttons including the never used enema button and TURBO! on a big red button that scared me.

All built into a fancy seat mounted on a normal toilet

Ex-wife wanted me to buy one while i was out there and bring it back but it would have been a nightmare to wire and plumb up

I've also lived in Muslim countries (middle east and Indonesia) with a hole in the ground and a hose pipe next to said hole.

I know which i would rather have but I can live with the UK standard and roll of reasonable quality bog roll, none of that old school tracing paper.

I've grown up using a bidet. As bizarre as it sounds, having a clean bum after a poo is quite a significant part of my culture :p

Anyway I had someone over for dinner and they were freaked out by the Japanese toilet seat bidet I have in the loo. They called it weird.

I countered by saying if you had poo smeared on your arm would you just wipe it away with toilet paper, or would you actually wash your arm?

Anyway, where are you on bidets? Yay? Nay?

Do we need a poll?

Do you use soap on your bidet / bum hose?
Most countries that have them don't, so really your just spreading it around, not actually cleaning it off. If you got poo on your hands would you use soap to wash it off or just a bit of water to spread it around and call it job done?

I ask because I've visited and lived in Asia/middle East and seen almost no one wash their hands with soap after walking out of a cubicle where they've covered the floor in water with the bum hose. It's utterly bizarre.
 
This house had carpet in the bathroom when we bought it - the first change to go!
Given women are told to wipe away from their front to prevent infections, having water spray and drip does make me wonder if they increase infections especially as i’ve seen bidets which spray from the base where the previous user’s poopy water must have touched. Akin to touching the toilet bowl with your wanger.
I don't think they’re that hygienic. However moist wipes help a lot and though your handling soap+poop.

What I find funny is that some people really believe you don't wipe first until you're virtually clean and then use the spray.

in most countries that have the bum hose, they routinely don't have paper in the cubicles
when we go to stay at the inlaws, someone has to go in to the big town nearby to buy some from the supermarket as none of the local shops/markets stock it

A while back I was reading a thread on the screwfix forum, these shattaf bum guns/bidet toilet seats are apparently very difficult to install due to the water regulations, ie cant be connected to the water main.

You need to make sure it has a back flow valve in it. Most of the decent brands will, but the cheapo ones might not.

From what ive read they need a separate tank to supply it.

Im not sure about these bum sprays. Say you have just dropped the kids off at the pool, when you spray do you use your hand too? Just seems like you going to be splashing poo water everywhere trying to blast all the little chunklets off, sounds messy.
