Bidet- Yes or No? :)

[Minor Axis]

I ran into this short article at NewsWeek. First of all for those of you who don't know what a bidet is.

Have you ever used a bidet? I have. It's ok, but I don't have one installed in my home. Maybe attitudes will change in the States.

Regarding the thread title, if "no", as in "no way", why not?

For your consideration:

a classic survey showed that half of TP users spend their days with "fecal contamination"—anything from "wasp-colored" stains to "frank massive feces"—in their underpants. And yet we continue to mock the bidet, the Frenchest of innovations, as froufrou, risqué, de trop. But while personal hygiene is one thing, the future of the planet is another. The average American uses 57 sheets of toilet paper a day; collectively, we burn through 36.5 billion rolls each year. Tossing all the TP in America would save 15 million trees, 17.3 terawatts of electricity, and more than 473 billion gallons of water annually; the environmental impact of bidets is minimal in comparison.

The point is washing your privates every time you take a dump is more hygienic than wiping. Lovely conversation I started.

I think it'd be a 'blast'!

I've never got ill because I got diseased by wiping. Spraying water up my arse is pointless.

I, agree, I think the world survived just fine using the available media! :24::24::24:

Well how do those half wipe if they have stuff left in their chonies after?
But anywho i say yeah! I saw it on America's Next Top Model and it looked cool.
Besides when i shower i get it all washed out by spraying water in it (with soap of course)...so whats the diff?
Plus it doesn't seem like it charges water up your rear at a hard increased speed that makes tears come out of your eyes.

Yes indeed. Water up the butthole is not what I call a good time... :thumbdown

Haha! That is funny considering a recent study that says a full 25% of Brits examined had fecal bacteria on their hands!

Shake hands? Fuck no!

No to a bidet, but you know what I want in my toilet, a bloody Urinal. Yep. no bloody toilet lids, no more arguements no more missing that small ring you ladies call a toilet bowl. Just give me a urinal.

Nice thread to read while having lunch!!!... D

I wasn't born in the US, but I've been living here for forty years...
Do you want to know what is the only thing I miss about the place where I was born?... "The Bidet"!!!... tongue:

All joking aside... it really is a nice thing to have as far as cleanliness is concerned...
Once you try it... or are trained to use it from the time your diapers are history, it is very hard to function without it.
And no, it is not a huge blast of water going up your rear end ... it's more like a gentle sprinkle of water... going in the opposite direction :tongue: ...

Guys don't have to worry about many things... you always get away with the easy stuff... don't you? ...
But ask any woman about intimate things and what they buy at the pharmacy during certain times... and you can see why a bidet would solve many problems at once... no to mention the savings!...
