Doesn't your bum just get all wet? How is that helpful? I'm serious.

I'm from Europe and neither have I. I guess nowadays you're better off using moist wipes.

abierman said:

Okay, now what do I do? (hurry - I'm at work and this is embarassing)

ReturnOfDOOK said:

take a picture! and mail it to the queen of zambia!!!

ReturnOfDOOK said:

like I said, spread 'em and let it all spray!!!! Expect the room to get wet as well!!

abierman said:

Doesn't it just spray all the poo all over the place? It seems like more of a hassle than anything.

ReturnOfDOOK said:

.....depends on how much poo you have stuck on your ass.....get rid of the bulk first.....in a more conventional way!

I don't know how I lived before moist toilet wipes were invented.

ReturnOfDOOK said:

Everyone in Britain uses one ... it's the law.

abierman said:

Oh, so the bidet is just kinda to help you finish the job? I just thought people used it to clean all the poo off of their bums without the use of toilet paper. Do you use toilet paper after you spray your bum?

BinaryJustin said:

seriously. those things are essential. everything before that was savagery.

ReturnOfDOOK said:

see it as an extra dimension.....

Aren't YOU the queen of Zambia?

As a few of us have noted before...baby wipes rule. The are essential to keeping things clean and when that's all you got...baby wipe shower it is.

OK now for the topic at hand...don't know about y'all but I hate it when water splashes up on my ass...it makes me very uncormfortable...like now I am more dirty or something.

Baby wipes are good for everything! Especially for stinky bottoms.

Reincarnate said:

Isn't that because you guys over there only have a bath, once a week? and never shower?

superspaceboy said:

SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!


i mean, erm...of COURSE i'm not, you big silly darling silly-kabob!

The summer between my junior and senior year of high school, I was an exchange student. (I was supposed to go to France for language study, but there was a problem and I ended up on the Greek/Turkish island of Cyprus) My host family's bathroom was the site of my first encounter with a bidet.

I had no idea what it was, so I asked the family's 13 yr old daughter, who told me it was used to wash feet. Since there was a bar of soap sitting on the bidet, and since I seemed to see little bits of REMNANTS in the bowl, that made sense to me. But I wondered why she seemed so hesitant to tell me.

Also, no one told me before I arrived that I wasn't supposed to flush the toilet paper in the toilet after peeing or pooping, because their pipes couldn't handle it/break it down. I think I probably clogged things up nicely, which caused someone to tell me I was supposed to wipe myself and then wrap that dirty paper with clean toilet paper and put it in the handy dandy wastebasket by the toilet.

I like these:



They come in nice little refillable tubs.



Now, for real, somebody give a thorough answer the bidet question. I've never been able to figure this out either.

I use this:

Get some small jug and fill it with water. After I answered nature's call, I just pour the water down there a few times and pull up my pants. Or I pour the water, and than wipe it with some tissue paper.

Remember folks:
Water cleans.
Tissue smears.
'Nuff said.

But. . .but. . .if you just did that, your ass would be all wet! I don't understand!

In Thailand in our bathroom we have a toilet, a small tub with water in and a little plastic bucket/bowl. Most places have the standard toilet and then a little hose. That's actually pretty good and probably more hygienic than using paper.

We also have another bigger tub of water and a similar bucket for showering.

Faux said:

So, do you keep an ass towel in there too? THIS is what I don't get!

SOMEBODY EXPLAIN THE POST-CLEANSING WETNESS PROBLEM IN CLEAR, CONCISE LANGUAGE! Geezus!

ReturnOfDOOK said:

A bidet is for women to wash their vagina in

tackam said:

No, we don't. Thailand has a very warm climate so I guess people just figure that as long as they don't splash the water around too much they won't be that wet after a couple of minutes.

Sounds terrible doesn't it

Dude, when you pour water on your private parts, it does not get the butt cheeks. The water touches the unclean parts( i.e. vagina,etc.) The more water your pour the more area it will reach. And when you use tissue paper afterwards to dry it, it dries the wet area. Simple. Bass. Just try it.

Go to the 99cents or grocery store and get some cheap plastic jug and fill it with water. When you've done ur business. Just water urself.
