Why do people use it? Isn't the bidet a better solution?

The toilet was invented in ancient times in India.  The modern toilet was invented or at least modified to its present functionality by John Crapper. Toilet paper per se is a modern invention refined by the company responsible for the Coronet tissue paper.  Yes, the bidet is a better alternative, especially if you suffer from hemorrhoids. For those who didn't answer this part of the question, this bathroom fixture is mostly used by women who have their period to clean themselves, but it also works very well in most people's arses.

Your Ozzy mate is talking out of his a**e. British people wash the same amount as any one else. Apart from th eFrench of course as they use half the amount of soap per person per year.

Ok.. how badly do you want to clean up?  Use any kind of paper type item available, like seat covers?  If there is no one around, duck into another stall?  You could always use your underwear and throw it in the trash and go "commando"?  I think that'd work better for a man, we women have small satiny panties..I can't see that working too well for us.

If you mean "bidet" (pronounced bee-day), from the American Heritage Dictionary:\nA fixture similar in design to a toilet that is straddled for bathing the genitals and the posterior parts.\n \nNote that it is NOT a "pissing toilet for women"!

douching and wipes actually disrupt the bacterial balance inside and cause more chance for infection and 'smell'\npersonally i'd say stick to water and soap

Some people just don't care about good hygiene - they don't bathe frequently or wash their clothes regularly and some people do the same things because they're poor.  It is sometimes a cultural thing too - Americans are often overly obsessed with cleanliness and other cultures are less concerned.  I shower usually once per day unless I get really dirty or sweaty.

Do I smell SNOB in your question??\n\nNewbies come in all sorts of flavors.  Maybe cutting comments like yours should be reserved to those blessed with great gear & software who radically underutilize all of it. (or take it for granted)  Not every newbie fits this profile.  Some just have learners permits, some are older people with little tech background, some just try but are not the sharpest pencils in the box, etc., and so forth, and so on!\n\nHave a heart; don't flush everybody less experienced than yourself.  That's probably beneath your dignity, isn't it?

I really agree.\nSome are opinion, and that's ok.\nBut some are like "How do you fix a toilet leak?" and such, and you can easily just find it online, or go to hardware store and they'll be glad to help you! \nAnd some people put their question in the heading and those normally don't make sense if they're 3 words or less. And they don't put any details in either!

I don't think I could use it, Seeing other people walk by me while I'm trying to use the bathroom, might stop the urge. But on the other hand, it would make for kinky bathroom sex. \n\nOr if I had to really really, really, really, really go, then I might use it.

If you are in a public place you turn off the faucets with the paper towel you use to dry your hands. If you are at home, you are O.K. because you know those faucets are clean. If you are at someone's home, use the towel you dried your hands on. \n\nI think every bathroom in homes should have paper towels and not cloth towels.

Sounds like your toilet is not the only thing full of sh1t! ;)

That's gross.  Your garbage would smell if you put a bloody tampon in it.  I have always flushed mine.  And I agree with you about  having to look in the trash and see one.

I always wash my hands, its disgusting if you don't.  I see guys come out of the stalls and not wash up.  Its very uncouth.  In fact if I am in a public restroom, I save the paper towel to use when opening the door so I don't have to touch the doorknob that some slob touched after doing his business and not washing his hands.  I'm not some kind of germophobe, but I don't want some other guys toilet germs on my hand.

They stick a rubber hose up your backside and shoot water up you. It makes you sit on the loo for half a day and then you are "cleansed". I think that if our colons needed cleansing, God would have made us with a hose. Since he hasn't ... no cleansing for me, thanx.

That is a male thing, I for one certainly don't do it cause it's disgusting. If we want or need to pee, then we should use the toilet which is what it was designed for, not the bath or shower! Yes, you're right, it is nasty.

Bidets are pan which has automated control for cleaning urself after shitting or pissing. The sprinkler's force can be controlled with the touch of a button along with a lot of other stuff. So women try to get some sensation out of it. \n\nWhen you travel, you will find out. By the way ... i havent seen any bidets around ... its an expensive tech ... so not very popular in commercial areas now ... maybe five six yrs down the line.\n\nman ... talk abt mis use of technology ... !\n\nbtw ... i am guy ... sorry !
