We have one. Don't use it for post-number-twos but fantastic to ensure the crack is freshly clean before donning cycle shorts (infections down there are nasty).
Lovely... 😡

no beakers in this house then!!!!In addition to the bidet there was a tiny sink outside the toilet at an unusual height that had a blind around it
We looked at a house to buy that had the toilet and bidet in separate rooms.
Across the landing from each other.
I never did figure out the protocol for that set up.

Bidets are good for washing feet though, getting sand off for instance.
I mean, you wash ya bum in a bidet then dry it on what exactly, copious quantities of bog roll, kitchen wipes, a towel (!) ?
Morrisons bot wipes for me!
Bidets, what's not to like?
Spare basin for when spouse is using the other.
Spare urinal, easier to reach than the sink.
Great for dumping grotty gritty clothes in after a ride without blocking the bath or basin
Clean bottoms upon demand
Post sex freshening, yes
Chases clingons away!
Ace for washing babies in!
I'm so pleased we have one.
You chaps do know that bidets are not self cleaning? So what ever residue the last person left will be the first residue shooting onto your bottom.
PS
If you haven't expelled your poop completely when going to the loo, adjust your position on the toilet (i don't be doing Yoga 🙄 )
What's the point then? Wiping works quite well I find...
@Ewan none, that's why most of us don't bother with them
On the Bangladeshi comment a lot of Middle East (& Muslim ?) countries have a pressure hose by the toilet instead of a bidet.
Weird things when you consider many ski resorts in Europe that have the no bowel, squat and shit in a hole in the floor type toilet. Okay, mostly in Italy 😉
Really difficult to use when wearing ski boots BTW !

Nice a private urinal for the vertically challenged
This is like watching 12 engineers screwing-in a lightbulb.
Good grief it's not hard to understand. When you have had a sticky number two, you simply wipe your arse on the family pet then wash that in the bum-fountain.

Like a bath or a shower you mean?
Poop is not shooting anywhere. Unless your housemates stick the tap up their bum. In which case the problems are deeper than shooting poop.
thanks ewan, was about to ask similar questions myself 🙂
ive used the 'jetwash' things in thailand and er.... quite enjoyed them but never knew how to properly use a bidet.
ive always assumed you just hover, press a button and a little jet shoots up like a drinks fountain and its just for a rinse. but then i think well how do you dry yourself after? surely toilet tissue just tears into loads of little pieces when wet and youd end up with little tissue balls stuck to your botty-fur? and surely a towel would be unhygienic for multi-use, and you wouldnt use a fresh towel every time someone went to the crapper......
Yep. We use ours fro storing towels on.
Whilst living in Thailand in the mid 2000s I had the misfortune to meet a rather obese American from Kentucky who carried around a sponge in his pocket for wiping his ass after taking a dump.
He claimed that he had picked this up from Asians who lived in America Koreans, Thais and Cambodians or so he claimed.
I was rather disturbed by the fact that this man kept a sponge in his pocket that had been used for cleansing himself.
The fact that the sponge was dry in his pocket also concerned me. I was unsure if he wet it before going to the toilet or afterwards. It must have meant that he had to at some point put it damp into his pocket.
Have you ever heard of anybody else doing this?
What is worse is I also remember him wiping his forehead with when he used to sit and sweat in his unairconned office.
A piece of foamy sponge much like one of those yellow scourers but it didn't have any souring bit on it for obvious reasons.
We had a bidet in the 80s but I was a kid so having a dirty ass was de rigeur. I was at a conference in Japan three years ago... or rather I should have been at a conference but was actually in my hotel, sat reading a book on the heated bog with a permanent stream of quite hot water doing its merry business, bliss. This one had a (hot) air stream for when I eventually decided to get up.
No wonder the Brits have a reputation for being filthy, if half of us don't know how to use a bidet.
About drying: you don't use paper. Post wash, one's derriere is sparkly so the usual practice is to have special ittle bum towel for all to use. After all, it's just family & friends who use it.
My mother had one installed in the 80's. The fountain used to reach the ceiling.
Oh ,how we laughed.

Yes the Romans, a very long time ago - they would use a sponge on a stick.

Plus they had cameras in Roman times!!
In the toilets.
They had no shame.
I'm surprised Quirrel. I live in Thailand and Thais use a bum gun. I never have but there's one in every loo in our house and every one I've been to.
Long term ex-pats swear by them. I've had to turn ours off at the wall as my young boys love squirting each other with them! It was when the 2 year old drank from it I decided they had to be stopped!

I'm still here, I assume the fat kentuckian is not, he was so obese he had little arms like a tyranosaurus rex.
I love my bum guns, although with the high pressure from the pump it can often lead to internal and external cleaning.
