Why don't they have verandas? Basements? Escalators? Just because there is such a thing doesn't mean it has to be incorporated into everything. Buy one and hire a plumber, ya lazy bum.

My bathroom can barely fit a toilet, shower and sink. I think most bathrooms are just too small for non-essential items like that.

Just buy a pack of flushable wipes.

Considering we don't have enough homes for each citizen as it is, let's fix that first, then get particular about accoutrements.

And so it begins. First, a new coronavirus variant. Then, a carefully-orchestrated shortage of bog-paper. Finally, every homeowner in Europe wants a bidet. It's all as plain as day now - the plumbers done it!!

Simpler to attach a spray fitting to the water inlet for the cistern.

Probably a ploy by Big Bidet to gain more market share. Crafty bastards.

I warned ye about this! OP is obviously part of an international bidet conglomerate.

Don’t do that. Even though the wipes themselves are flushable, a huge proportion of Irish plumbing uses old pipes that can’t handle them.

Because we don't wash our feet .

If you have good water pressure upstairs, there's an adapter for the toilet that you can hook up and hose your hole.

from the first time i went to south east asia i have been asking this question. the bum squirt guns are just such an improvement on toilet paper. i think one problem is the ambient temperature of the water in the pipes. in india you are blasting your ring with luke warm water, in ireland it would be FRAYZING

Love a good bum gun, especially on a scorching hot day.

They're awesome.

Added benefit: no need to be hoarding toiletpaper.

We had one in the 80s.......was never used for its intended purpose.

Only as a foot bath.

Yup. Even though ambient water temp here would be baltic compared to somewhere east I'd still have one hooked up to the toilet if I could as they're cheaper in long run, won't potentially wreak your sewage system and are much cleaner. Anyone who thinks they aren't compared to using jacks roll is mad in the head.

Yeah, that happens in a lot of houses that do have bidets.

I remember it and to be honest it had very little water pressure.
Don't think it would have shifted much material, if you get my drift.

And then how would you dry your rear? With a towel?:eek:

Ray Palmer

Our house had one when we moved in. Completely useless as there was no water pressure. The hose attached to the toilet is a good idea and I had been planning on getting one

mariaalice

The first house I liven in as an adult had one, it was brilliant if you are a woman, most modern houses do not have a big enough bathroom for one but if I has a choice I would get one again.

Why does everyone seem to bring everything back to the homelessness issue.

The problem is more complicated than just building homes.

I'm not familiar with the bidet system. How well does it work for each of the situations it may encounter. Does the viscosity and adhesive properties make much diference to how well 8t cleans

How do you know your clean enough

What do you dry up with and where does that end up

Does it tickle

Granadino

why don't we have the roll down blinds you see all over the continent on houses, apartments etc.

Sky King

I panic-bought 6 bidets this morning

lertsnim

I'd love one of those Japanese toilets.

loyatemu

you can attach one to your loo:

this seems to be purposed for something else, being limited to 650 ml per use ...looking at devices that are meant to use lets say 0.5 litres of water /minute - when the cleansing process can be few minutes long ... don't think this is really a replacement for those.


but then, on OP - think bidets, or even too much toilet paper should not be necessary for ppl with a healthy gut/bowel movements - more info in this article https://www.wellandgood.com/good-advice/healthy-poop-toilet-paper-signs/

Hairdryer, of course! On medium heat setting

Raconteuse

My friend's parents got one fitted when we were kids. Just assumed it was a weird toilet and pee'd in it. I was then informed that it was a "bum washer".

branie2

We're not that posh!

Wash your arse when you jump in the shower if ya want.

Personally I don't like bidet's as a cleaning method

JupiterKid

My family home that I grew up in, in suburban Dublin had a bidet in the main bathroom. The house was built in the 1970s and I think bidets were very briefly in vogue back then (along with the vile carpets in the bathrooms).

I don't think anyone actually used it, or I suppose admitted to using it. The old bidet had a sprinking jet of water that shot up from the base that we messed with as kids.

I use a similar contraption to rinse my sinuses

uck51js9zml2yt

Do what they do in India
Fit a hose onto the wall next to the toilet.

Ficheall

I always use a squirt of baby cream onto the toilet paper for the second or third approach. Works wonderfully.

Matron ?

Just install a little shower head thing beside the toilet.
Every house in Finland has them.
Have seen them in a few Muslim countries also.
No need for a while diffenrt toilet thing. A hose will do the same job

works well I can tell you :pac:

saves the hassle of installing a hose and it's portable.
