don't know where that water's been

You can also shower less frequently because you don't constantly smell like shit.

Nobody smells like shit after using toilet paper unless they’re doing it wrong

Between the state of our water in some zip codes and how the general US treats public bathrooms, I think more bidets would just cause more public health issues.

Anyone scrolling down. Here's an alternative if you can't install a bidet. This disc top container works, especially convenient if you have used shampoo containers with it. Just fill it up with water and wash yer ass with it.

I've had extreme culture shock when I went to Indonesia. Both the unsanitary conditions of their squat holes and the hoses or cups they use sitting in pools of stagnant water in a country notorius for malaria and mosquitoes used to both wash shit and shower with. The whole "wet room" concept when part of my job is to grow pathogens like Ecoli. Just saw everyone's shit germs everywhere and had a few days of mild panic attacks. Not to mention trying to keep my clothes dry in thise things and seperate shoes and

Then how do people do that without getting their clothes all soaking wet?

Fast Forward after the shock wears off, I'll shower bidet and still theres shit that sticks and then is now in the shower in a drain that isn't a power flush. Which grows germs and doesn't go down properly.

My hybrid solution is to wet some TP to clean the area and then follow up with some lotion or mineral oil wipes until it's clean. Paper just doesn't do a full job. Then get your shit germ sprayer thing (bidet arm) that gets shit on and aprayed with shit crossed my mind, but our water is COLD and how do you keep it clean?

Every description online is like very vauge and overly modest in using a bidet and I just need something explict step by step.

I hate to say it, but it probably comes back down to capitalism. You can't continue to sell copious amounts of toilet paper if everyone is blasting their arse clean with water.

-A Westerner who loves their bidet

i really want one but my partner has no gall bladder and blah blah gross stuff basically i'm afraid it will get really dirty and poopy from backsplash. i have to clean and bleach our toliet down every 2 days.

will that add complicated nooks and tubing to clean basically?

Idk i can clean my butt with toilet paper. I agree with the other reasons but i don't smell like shit all the time.

Honestly getting a bidet never entered my mind as an option until the yks guys were talking about them. Never got around to it

If we're talking about "inventing TP", I'm pretty sure we wiped with leaves and stuff before we invented the hose. Maybe even nice thick leaves like cabbage leaves.

I don't like getting only my butt wet instead of the whole body. If I wanted my butt wet I might as well take a shower.

Also, composting toilets are superior. Flush toilets emerged along with the capitalist class and the liberal idea of private bathroom ownership. Putting water pipes into every dwelling unit is a wasteful luxury that speeds up the decay of buildings. If we're talking about plumbing and commodity shortages we need to have a holistic approach instead of a hyperspecific bandaid approach.
