Perhaps people feel homophobic or something about having water squirted on their ass?

Idk. I love my bidet. Especially when you have those wonderful shits with the consistency of clay that sticks to everything.

A few squirts, and a quick wipe of TP, and all done!

I got one during the "TP Crisis" during 2020ish. Drastically cuts down on the amount of TP required, and does a much better job of cleaning.

I love mine when I feel like a chocolate soft serve machine.

Because idiots think squirting water on your ass is gay

[-] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

I'd rather be gay than be able to smell my ass every time I sit down

[-] chalupapocalypse@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Amen to that, peter poopshit

TP companies gotta stay in business yo. It's all about them Dollars. Can you imagine if all the big box stores, convenience stores and hotels stopped using TP !? The whole industry would collapse.

Not that i'm advocating for corp TP companies, just a thought...

I love mine but I use the bidet before I wipe. Then it doesn't take much paper at all.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Eh... That's exactly how you're supposed to use it...

It's almost exclusively a cultural norm. In SE Asia they often have a spray hose next to the toilet. In Korea and Japan they have bidet functionality integrated into the toilet. In the middle east they dump into a hole in the ground.

[-] better_than_nothin@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

That's just false. In every country in the middle east, in any house, you'll find an integrated bidet and probably a hose next to it. Even the most down trodden facilities in my country had bidet.

I can't say the same for North Americans who apparently just think wiping is enough.

I think the question is more 'why do some cultures wash, and others wipe'. I believe the answer is mostly to do with religion, and it's laws on cleanliness.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
