Comment on why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread?

  Just another reason to like Italy even more.

  not surprised that Italy (who has a history of fascism and from what I heard currently has a fascist leader) has an authoritarian law requiring that people do things in their own homes (kinda like some HOAs in the US. Although, I have to admit, we must have lucked out with a HOA that’s not one of the shitty ones you always hear about)

    Yeah! Fucking fascists and their safety and building codes. Don’t even get me started on smoke detector and fire codes. Goddamn government always trying to keep slumlords down.

      a funny story, a couple from England transformed it into a vase and planted flowers in it.

  That would never fly in the US. They complain about water usage so much that they regulate shower heads so that they barely drip water, and toilets so that they don’t have enough water to flush solid waste. The bidet would just blow the regulators’ heads with all the water usage.

    Which would be short sightedness on their part, since bidets actually save water in the long run by reducing TP usage

      I fixed then. My bidet has indefinite heated water. I can sit on it for an hour cleaning my ass. It is glorious.

    Only if they sit on it backwards for the drying portion,

  the separated from the toilet kind.

  I don’t understand how those work at all…seems like that would be a recipe for poop tracks from the toilet.

    well… it is time to explain to an internet stranger how we clean our bum.

    • you shit on the toilet
    • you wipe with tp one or two times
    • get up, sit on the bidet
    • water, soap on the hand, and you scrub your ass with your hand, no this is not gay
    • go again with water and soap until you feel your ass is clean
    • dry with a small towel

    the towel is generally personal, and we change it every couple of days.

      That may have been sarcastic, but I appreciated the info. It beats having to take a shower.

      Legit question: Do you wash your hands again after that?

      • Rescuer6394@feddit.nl ⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        oh, yes, felt like it was obvious… i’m not touching anything without washing my hands after that.

      What part of cleaning your ass could be misconstrued as gay? Feels like an unnecessary aside, haha. Thanks for the step by step though, that makes sense!

        i legit have no idea, but on every tread talking about bitets, there is always someone that discards it because is gay to touch your own ass
