Bidet's is the topic. Dont be shy. As far as I know bidet's are uncommon or unheard of in America. I myself know of no one who has one in their home. Ive never even seen one. Are bidet's common elsewhere ?

Are they effective ? What is the transfer process like ? Do you just shuffle over with your pants around your ankles ? Are there mishaps like falling over during the shift ?

Are bidet's only for the wealthy ?

that's a really good question.

i've only seen one in "Crocodile Dundee"

What is your guys facination with bidets? Good ol TP not getting the job done for you anymore?

:wah: Yes, I saw that movie too. I've never seen one in my life!

I've seen them all over the world, in my travels. One drops one's drawers, washes, dries, ups one's drawers and goes on. Sounds good in theory, but in my experience, it's sometimes difficult to adjust the water temperature, which can be somewhat STARTLING! :wah:

What they're REALLY good for is storing your bathroom "stuff bag" when using a hotel bathroom, which usually has limited shelf space.

(I've always found it odd that the French, who invented the bidet, are so reluctant to use underarm deodorant.)

But what is the transition from one throne to the next like ? Do you just shuffle over or what ?

"SHUFFLE?" Fie! One GLIDES! :rolleyes:

One can use the bidet without having used the other facilities, ya' know.

That would be two yuchy things to clean in the bathroom! One is enough for me...............:wah:

Chonsi, it's like having another, but very low, sink!

I don't think I could figure out how to use it....................

I assumed its purpose was to handle the really dirty jobs.

Ummm, people....it's for WASHING one's bits and bobs....nothing more. :rolleyes:

:wah:

And to think pinky poo just started a thread about how she wasnt going to embarrass herself anymore

:wah: Im having a good laugh at your expense. Please dont stop now. :wah:

My ex-mother-in-law (Hubby #1's Mom) had a bidet in her house in Florida (not to be confused with the other two houses she had :rolleyes: ).

She said it was great for 'cleaning up after doing your business'

Never used one myself

but I took her word for it

I have several "levels" of showers.

A level 3 would suffice for this purpose. A quick rinse, in and out. Total time 90 seconds. I dont need some fancy pants bidet for that.

Boy, I went looking for pictures of one, and found a whole bunch of people washing their kids in them!

I used to put mine in the kitchen sink!

Attached files

They'd probably be more comfortable to use if they had a seat of some sort...that cold porcelain is a BITCH! :wah: And Pinks is right....the water jet isn't always just where is should be.

Frickin Uropeeins !

Come on people surely even those of you across the pond know what they are really for??



The French invented them for washing your bits after getting down and dirty. (Which is something the French like to think they invented) It isn't for washing after having a poo although we Brits do tend to use them for that purpose.



The French don't generally wash. But they do like sex so I suppose it's understandable that they invent something that allows them to clean the important bits whilst retaining their natural odour!! Yuck!!

you said poo

Nomad wrote: you said poo


I know I'm a rebel like that!!





Poo poo poo poo poo:wah:

There you go explained nicely. I have seen them in my travels but never use one..

They're like another sink - I never understood why there wasn't a seat to them, so Nomad is probably right , your suppose to stradle in either direction and hope the water sprays in the right direction. The water usually goes down your leg, or your back -awkward device.. Pinky, Nomad & Wolverine made it interesting..

Patsy

If they don't flush, how do you dry off?

Is there a towel rack next to those things or do you just shimmy and shake?

Might be good on a hot summer day. A weird way to cool off ones hot spots, I guess :wah:

I've never seen a towel - your suppose to air dry

I tried to used one I had water everywhere - I might as well washed my hair.
