You still need tp
“I think they are great”
Yeah, I don’t get why everybody thinks bidets in America is a crappy idea and are throwing cold water on it.

The electricity isn’t required but it can serve to warm the water and for the drying air.
Bidets are common in upscale areas like the Southern California coast.
Bathrooms in America need to be modernized since they are largely indistinguishable in capabilities from an advance bathroom of the late 1800s, and they also need urinals.
A modern bathroom can be technological marvel of service and comfort, and odor free.
You can get them where the spray is heated.
for the average american diet, i doubt they have enough pressure to clean all the stuck-on gunk off the undercarriage. you really need a mini pressure washer.
and then you’re all wet down there, so you grab some tp to dry yourself off before the undies go back up. so what have you saved?!? noting.
“bidet” in french stands for “mini shower”.
the french really do need them. our bathing habits are different.
how much more laundry and water are you using for your rear end cleaning and wiping? please don’t tell me you use the towel more than once to dry your bottom.
i can see this as a helper to people with medical conditions. but i think in terms of what it saves it’s marginal, as you use more water, some still use some tp, and if you use towels to dry, you’re now having to wash a bunch of crotch towels you didn’t have to wash before.

yeah nothing better than fresh tuna. yow.
i don’t get it either.
the bidet is your friend, not your enema.
Sounds like a job for.... BLOOMBERG!
“the bidet is your friend, not your enema”
Awesome, and so true!
Yes, I can’t think of one of those countries with much to offer us, besides their teeming masses and their food
I believe it is common in Japan to wash off seated in a "shower", then, once clean, bathe in a tub.
I read once that tubs were more common in Europe than showers, but I suppose that is changing.
“...you squat over a stinking hole in the ground.”
I worked at a “westernized” facility in Indonesia. The large bathrooms/changing areas had stalls with just holes for the locals, and toilets for the westerners. Above each toilet was a stick figure standing on the seat of the toilet and squatting - with the universal red slash through the image.
Freepmail for you.

Hoot!
The way I heard it, Jethro says "They's some really small people over there in Europe."
"How do you figure that?"
"Well, jess look at how low them drinking fountains is."
That being said, I read where many Russian peasant soldiers in WWII thought the regular flush toilets they found in Germany were wash basins.
