What's your take on bidets/bum sprays?

Got one, it's whack. Just use a bodna, it's a manual bidet. It can be filled with hot water too which washes away the poohs much easier. Always use TP to wipe dry after. I have read that people don't dry themselves are using a bidet. Just what? How do you wipe properly? Bidet is for just washing off the bulk first. TP for the rest you gross human beings.

Sounds disgusting!
 
Wouldn't do without one.
Bidet then a square of TP to pat excess moisture. You wouldn't just wipe **** of your hands would you with paper? Don't ask why you would have **** on your hands lol

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?

100% with you and it was around 20 years ago reading about the toilet habits of Pakistani friends that I changed the way I did it.
I can't imagine wiping my bum with just paper so I now finish with liguid soap on toilet paper and feel refreshed (it used to be flushable wet wipes for years).
If I'm out and need to go I will get some paper and put water on it otherwise I feel dirty.
 
Since we're talking about it...

If you got some dog **** on your hand would you wipe if off with some tissue and call it done?

I think the whole TP thing is inadequate and while I don't have a bidet I do a "squat shower", dry off with the underwear I've just taken off, last once over with a wet wipe and new underwear. Wash hands and gone.

The golden rule in British culture is that if it's not part of our culture then it's wrong. Ironic as it may be, there's apparently no point in trying to understand it when you can use it as another reason to laugh at stupid foreigners.
 
All this talk of feeling refreshed after a dump makes me think there is a great tried and tested advertising strategy for bidets. Post-bidet use, the protagonists of the television commercial would play tennis and change into the whitest of white trousers before going out and generally having a great time with the girls without a care in the world.
 
For all those somewhat disgusted by not using one, what the hell do you do at work or in other public places?

Also to the guy who wipes dry with pants and puts new pants on what would you do if you had craps with a stomach bug and went like 12 times a day?

I’ve never used one. Part of me thinks they’re a good idea, I get the pros but part of me actually finds sharing a water nozzle that sits super close to someone’s bum spraying and bouncing poo matter around the bowl and tap somewhat unhygienic.
