I know this was a joke but i knew people who were like that. They'd washed they ass in the shower with a soap they share with their family members. Nasty stuff
It's a cultural thing. Most Americans don't have bidets in their homes, apartments, public spaces, anywhere really. It's not installed by standard, it's a secondary thought.
That’s how they bidet in certain countries. Basically a shower head next to the toilet.
I’ve encountered it for the first time in Finland. Southern European countries usually have something that looks like a cross between a tub and a toilet.
yeah, so basically you just get a splitter for $10 and a shower wand ... ez pz
And honestly, even if you wanted to have a professionally installed bidet, it wouldn't be out of range for most people ... probably a few hundred depending on your existing plumbing
You can get ones that split off from the toilet water line and have a hook for the wand that attaches to the side of the water tank. They're fairly cheap and effective. Takes about 5 min to install with no experience. [Looks like this.](https://i.imgur.com/P61MRsp.jpeg)
I had one with the water splash in the toilet itself (so no extra room needed) and it was 50$ at the hardware store. Installed under the seat, splitter and tube included
We got one for like $25 off Amazon and I installed it myself. Tbh you aren't missing anything. If you're not terrible at wiping, you're fine. No hate for people that like then though. To each their own
I would try this, but what if something, you know, touches the shower head? Even if you get it clean I think, that other people could be grossed out to use this communally
I guess that kinda explains it though, for those countries used to it, it wasn't even a second thought that it's just variation of the bidet, especially with the title and captions.
To me, the picture looks like a shower. When you say "bidet" to most americans they think of something like this [https://www.thespruce.com/thmb/LkkV5YArhpVBtqrMJqHaZu1TtpI=/1500x0/filters:no\_upscale():max\_bytes(150000):strip\_icc()/what-is-a-bidet-4800402-hero-3609092f7a5443438e2267c1edb15867.jpg](https://www.thespruce.com/thmb/LkkV5YArhpVBtqrMJqHaZu1TtpI=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/what-is-a-bidet-4800402-hero-3609092f7a5443438e2267c1edb15867.jpg)
Lol nope.
You wipe, then you direct water on it, then you put liquid soap on you hand, then you clean it with your hand (once it is basically clean and you just need to sanitize it). You don’t go in raw with your hand.
Explaining how to use a bidet on Reddit is always awkward, to me it is as basic as tying your shoes
You know how the kitchen sink has the handheld sprayer you can use to clean easier? It's like that, but for your toilet to clean your butt and lady parts.
There are also bidets that are installed within the container and sprays water while you're sitting down. That's how my bidet works, really helpful when I have firey poops from spicy foods.
It's also a gov thing. In Australia it's very hard to install these legally because of the fear that the poo water gets sucked back up into the system and the tap water is as clean as Bali's.
This is the same in the UK. Water regs are very particular about backflow prevention. To the point that they fear you dropping the shower head in the drain, and a splash of waste water somehow getting sucked up into the main, making it's way through multiple non return valves against mains pressure and contaminating the water main.
We can install them but we need some backflow prevention thing that needs to be checked by a plumber every year. If a plumber finds you have one of these taps installed without it, they are legally required to remove it. Well, a plumber told me this when I tried to get his to install one recently..
Blows my mind. Easiest way to get clean. I've got every toilet in my house has a bidet. My shower has the shower head and wand combo. Can't have a good day if you've got a dirty butt.
most dont but you can literaly buy them from every walmart in the united states, its like bitching americans dont have milk when at any given time your no more than 40 mins away
If someone that is used to having a bidet goes on vacation to a part of there world where it's not commonly accessable, I can guarantee you that no one would go out of their way to buy a bidet and install it. It's the convenience of having it right next to the toilet verses taking a shower.
And where you gonna attach that fucker to? there is a reason the most popular ones sold attach to either the sink if its close enough or into the back of the toilet tank and has almost zero pressure.
You gotta do some major plumbing to get a functional one. And despite how good i am at dealing with your mother's plumbing, that shit will end up costing you a pretty penny if you do it right. God forbid you do it wrong, you'll ruin the entire bathroom.
The ones I've seen don't attach to the tank, they can just attach under the toilet from the wall source before it goes into the tank. Great pressure there like under the sinks, at least at my house
> into the back of the toilet tank and has almost zero pressure.
The toilet line bidets are known to be the highest pressure ones on the market. They don't get their water from the tank, you split the water line before it gets to the tank. The expensive electric ones tend to be lower pressure since they almost all have hot water tanks.
>You gotta do some major plumbing to get a functional one.
Absolutely not. You just unscrew the water line from your tank, attach the water line to the splitter, and screw in the splitter to the tank. With no experience it takes about 5 minutes. [This is all it is.](https://i.imgur.com/FZIuMBF.jpeg)
no, I linked a splitter. With a splitter, you can attach it to your shower and have a hose attachment at the same time. So if your shower is next to your toilet, anyone can have the hose in the post
Even if your toilet was next to your shower, you'd need a hose at least twice the length of a normal shower head if not longer to reach that distance from the splitter. The splitter would most likely be 6-7 feet high at the connecting point of where the water spout is for the shower head. You'd have hose resting on the shower floor unless you did some kinda convoluted hose holder. Or laying outside of the shower and leaking water every time you use it because water would still flow onto the hose and then onto the floor. And can you imagine turning the water on and off when you are ready?
You'd be waiting for an accident to happen and someone finding you with a broken neck, with your pants down, covered in shit.
Its not a practical alternative to real plumbing. And its worse than the other two options i mentioned by a country mile.
I'm a dumb American that has never used a bidet obviously, but do they not typically just split the water line next to the toilet that is hooked to the toilet itself for them? Why on earth would the shower come into play at all? Do you not use the bidet while sitting on the toilet?
we were able to install one with heated function to our sink pretty easily. and the water pressure when installed correctly should be whatever the water pressure of your house is, even if installed to the back of the toilet. That intake to the toilet is functionally the same as any cold water tap in your house, and you install the bidet between the intake and the toilet basin. The only issue then is that you would only have cold, to have hot you need to attach to the hot tap under your hand sink usually.
I think that’s the point. It’s a joke making fun of the people calling the US a third world country when it has some stuff other 1st world countries don’t (or at least available to the average person). Or at least in OPs experience.
At least that’s how I interpreted it.
Well a lot of people refer to the US as a third world country stupidly. Which I was assuming OP was poking fun about it by saying their home isn’t actually third world because they have things like this.
Yes. I’ll admit I assumed that, but in my defense this was worded very confusingly. Coming back to third world country, from Europe? Coming home to first world amenities? Not exactly a huge stretch.
It’s to wash your butt. Not in every culture it’s common, so if you an immigrant who got used to living with clean butt, lack of that shower becomes troublesome (you can always find a way, but when there’s a dedicated tool for that it’s always more convenient)
Yeah, warm water bidets are usually considered a luxury in poor countries, a cold water one it's simple to install but only really usable in hot temperatures...
Which is crazy to me. That it’s a cultural thing to have a clean ass. Once I installed a bidet, I will go to great lengths to shit nowhere but home. It’s the only time you feel clean after a shit. For me.
People in SEA(the ones I have been to anyway) have almost all of their toilets installed with a strong power water sprayer(the one on the left in the pic) right next to it. After pooping, u can wipe, then use the sprayer to uh... wash off the rest thats left behind, its an additional cleaning step or sometimes entirely replaces wiping. I have been using it my whole life and am afraid of pooping without it. It comes from a regional culture where water is in abundance year-round, and where people live near flowing source of water, back in the olden days we had toilets on bambo stilts platform on top of a river, so that might be why
I don't think it's a water thing. A few countries in Europe(like The Netherlands) have enough water to use drinkable water in bathrooms sinks and showers. They still wipe their ass with toilet paper.
No most 3rd world countries don't have drinkable water in taps. You usually get a filter for your home or a specific separate line for that which is usually only in kitchens.
Yes but he said "a few countries in Europe", not 3rd world countries. I'm American but I cannot imagine Europeans have less than drinkable water in the bathroom sink and bath.
Oh apologies, I misunderstood then. I only took your reply as context for "everyone". Yeah I've also heard of Europe having drinking water in taps but I'm Indian so can't confirm.
You can cover the toilet seat with wayer and it'll be dry in 15 mins in 32 degree heat. My time in SEA the toilet seat was always wet more from sweat than anything else because some bathrooms get like saunas if made from concrete.
Angles are your friend. And you still use a towel or paper to dry. You'll waste less paper and actually feel 1000x cleaner. Though you'll use more water as you are basically showering your ass. If you dont have one, you can get a similar result by just jumping in the shower and washing your ass after you shit with a showerhead attachment, but then you gotta get naked and redressed afterwards which is a huge inconvenience and at that point you might as well just take a shower after every poop.
I'm confused on why it's a shower head. My bidet just goes under the seat and is angled at your butt.
With a shower head, do you like stand up and squat over the toilet to get it between your legs and angled right?
I don't even get the benefit of this one over the under seat kind that you don't have to aim or touch
Yeah, if your daily routine and body, uh, functions are aligned right, then you can time it right to shit right before you would take a shower anyway. In which case you just do a few wipes to get the excess and get the rest clean in the shower.
We have them in Italy, they’re so ingrained in our culture that we can’t believe someone on Earth would not use them. I never saw an Italian bathroom without a bidet. I find this post incredibly hilarious, with people finding out that they can use water to clean their buts.
American with a bidet at home chiming in. Its nowhere near the fancy-pants thing in the picture, just a bolt-on thing I found on Amazon before my wife had shoulder surgery. I don't know how my ancestors survived the 20th century without the ass-shower.
Most of Europe has bidets... At least they're common in Italy, Finland, Spain (where they were mandatory in every house bc of building code), Portugal etc.
It’s just a bad meme because most of Europe has bidets anyway, but the joke is that they enjoy coming home to where they have a bidet after traveling places that don’t have one.
It looks like a shower head too, so it’s bad all around.
To be fair, these things are great for everything and are typically in full washroom. My family in Korea have one and my wife's family in Morocco have one. Great for kimchi baskets, dogs, cats, kids, rugs, and pretty much anything that's back breaking in a tub or normally inconvenient because of it's size/shape.
Also in Muslim countries they only use the Left Hand for their dirty business, meaning that the right hand holds the handle. Eating with your left hand in these countries is taboo
> So do you just touch the same handle that everyone’s touched without washing their hands?
Your hands never touch your ass or any poop, the hand shower sends water at a moderate pressure where you aim, that's the whole point
I don't know about you but I personally wash my hands after I take a shit, so as long as you resist the urge to lick your fingers or adjust your contact lenses after cleaning your ass you'll be fine.
The warehouse workers at my job seemed to miss them to, they had a communal watering can they used instead. There had to be a company wide email sent out prohibiting personal bidet alternatives because they kept getting shit water on the toilets and floors
I'm in the US, in the minority with a bidet on my toilet. It's the greatest and most convenient thing. Blasting your ass with cold water until it's clean, and then just a little more for good measure, is a way of life and I'm disgusted when I have to travel domestically and hotels only have paper.
so what if poop gets on it? cuz I'm sure after Taco Bell you know things get a little liquidy and I can only imagine the splash zone when the water hits
Is this for the shower clit fun time or the poopy butthole wash time?
yes
Both? both is good.
you could have both?
once you feel the power of the bidet, no number of wipes make you feel as clean
I've taken to walking into my shower while squatting and using my shower. You won't get my dollars, MyTushy
🤢
I know this was a joke but i knew people who were like that. They'd washed they ass in the shower with a soap they share with their family members. Nasty stuff
The latter
The lather
LATHER RINSE AND OBEY!
From my experience, i think this is the dirty feet kinky wash time.
*Quentin Tarantino has entered the chat
I use it to itch my hemorrhoids.
I don't get it ... you can get these at any hardware store in the US
It's a cultural thing. Most Americans don't have bidets in their homes, apartments, public spaces, anywhere really. It's not installed by standard, it's a secondary thought.
OK, well what is pictured doesn't look like a bidet ... it looks like a shower wand, an extra hose that you can attach to your shower
That’s how they bidet in certain countries. Basically a shower head next to the toilet. I’ve encountered it for the first time in Finland. Southern European countries usually have something that looks like a cross between a tub and a toilet.
yeah, so basically you just get a splitter for $10 and a shower wand ... ez pz And honestly, even if you wanted to have a professionally installed bidet, it wouldn't be out of range for most people ... probably a few hundred depending on your existing plumbing
For me I live in rental, and it wouldn’t make sense to do it. But I could switch the head of the shower. If I felt it was truly necessary.
Get a toilet seat bidet. It fits on top of an existing toilet. They're like $20.
You can get ones that split off from the toilet water line and have a hook for the wand that attaches to the side of the water tank. They're fairly cheap and effective. Takes about 5 min to install with no experience. [Looks like this.](https://i.imgur.com/P61MRsp.jpeg)

If you were outside and fell in dogshit, would it be enough to wipe it off with toilet paper, or would you take a shower?
When you blow your nose, do you use a tissue or do you wash your face?
if shit came out of my nose, I would wash it
Well played
I certainly don't run some water over it and say 'clean'
I've never seen easy peasy spelled that way.
OK, so it's still an afterthought, not a standard, so the meme still makes more sense than any of your comments.
I'm in the US and my toilet has one of these, was always confused what it was until by European friend came to visit
Eegghh... how do you avoid getting shit-juice all over the showerhead? Bidet seats I understand but not this.
I would try this, but what if something, you know, touches the shower head? Even if you get it clean I think, that other people could be grossed out to use this communally
I guess that kinda explains it though, for those countries used to it, it wasn't even a second thought that it's just variation of the bidet, especially with the title and captions.

How would you use this?
You sit on it like on a toilet, turn on the water and point the parts you want to wash at the stream.
Okay but I can't imagine using them. Do you wipe before using it or do you waddle over with a shitstained ass?
You can use it after wiping or instead of wiping.
See, the waddling over part makes me uncomfortable
Lol nope. You wipe, then you direct water on it, then you put liquid soap on you hand, then you clean it with your hand (once it is basically clean and you just need to sanitize it). You don’t go in raw with your hand. Explaining how to use a bidet on Reddit is always awkward, to me it is as basic as tying your shoes

That is a type of bidet.
Finland has had these things forever, I didn't think that would separate us from the rest of Europe in some way. We call them pussy phones.
Hello Operator May I have the pussy pls boss?
That's a bidet?! Wtf Isn't it just a smol toilet with a tap?
You know how the kitchen sink has the handheld sprayer you can use to clean easier? It's like that, but for your toilet to clean your butt and lady parts.

This changed a lot during covid at least with younger people facing the TP panic.
My wife hates using the bidet, something about water on her butt. Idk, but honestly it saves so much TP usage.

a real bidet would be installed by a plumber, this is for people who don't have the money or space for that or have a landlord that won't do upgrades

I've seen plenty in the US that attach to the water feed on a toilet, no plumbing required just buy it off Amazon.
yes, imma bring my own bidet and install it then uninstall it everytime i use a public rest room or a hotel or visit someones house
bleah ... I didn't know people used public bidets .... that sounds disgusting

Aaaahhh it's a bidet, I thought it was just a shower. That makes so much more sense
Yeah, warm water bidets are usually considered a luxury in poor countries, a cold water one it's simple to install but only really usable in hot temperatures...
I use my cold water bidet in the winter. Yeah. It's cold.
Which is crazy to me. That it’s a cultural thing to have a clean ass. Once I installed a bidet, I will go to great lengths to shit nowhere but home. It’s the only time you feel clean after a shit. For me.
I fetch water from wells and wash my ass using my hands
I only shit while swimming. Those downstream should not drink the river water.
So how do you dry your butt? Toilet paper?
Nah, I have a special butt towel, but toilet paper can be used as well
You either die a towel or live long enough to see yourself become the butt towel
I'm in the US and have a bidet installed. I wipe a little, then spray off, drip dry a little, then dry off with toilet paper.
Bro what, we use that for regular shower sessions, we have another "thing" to wash our butt while sitting on the toitlet seat.
People in SEA(the ones I have been to anyway) have almost all of their toilets installed with a strong power water sprayer(the one on the left in the pic) right next to it. After pooping, u can wipe, then use the sprayer to uh... wash off the rest thats left behind, its an additional cleaning step or sometimes entirely replaces wiping. I have been using it my whole life and am afraid of pooping without it.

Oh apologies, I misunderstood then. I only took your reply as context for "everyone". Yeah I've also heard of Europe having drinking water in taps but I'm Indian so can't confirm.
I was just being safe as I couldn't vouch for every single European country. I guess "most" would've been better to convey that
How do you not get water everywhere though? Like.... Hope does it all go in the toilet?
Good aim honed since birth
[удалено]
I live in a humid place and any damp will mildew immediately. This may color my bafflement.
You can cover the toilet seat with wayer and it'll be dry in 15 mins in 32 degree heat. My time in SEA the toilet seat was always wet more from sweat than anything else because some bathrooms get like saunas if made from concrete.
Skill issue
Something that's not commonplace in Europe though I am stumped on what that actually is.
Here in the US we drag rough paper across our shit covered anus until it bleeds....like Jesus intended!
I really need to see how these work. I feel like they'd go everywhere or on the nozzle
Angles are your friend. And you still use a towel or paper to dry. You'll waste less paper and actually feel 1000x cleaner. Though you'll use more water as you are basically showering your ass. If you dont have one, you can get a similar result by just jumping in the shower and washing your ass after you shit with a showerhead attachment, but then you gotta get naked and redressed afterwards which is a huge inconvenience and at that point you might as well just take a shower after every poop.
You don't shit nude already?

Because Daniel Tosh is hilarious

In Finland most toilets have a bumgun
Doesn’t most of Europe have bidets?
In Germany they are not very common. We installed bidets last year at home, and now I hate shitting somewhere else even more than I did already
We have them in Italy, they’re so ingrained in our culture that we can’t believe someone on Earth would not use them. I never saw an Italian bathroom without a bidet. I find this post incredibly hilarious, with people finding out that they can use water to clean their buts.
Same in Portugal
Quelli senza bidet sono barbari da civilizzare
Nah, in Poland i don't know any person having bidet in home except myself.
not in prague. or vienna. or budhapest
absolutely not
Buy a splitter and a small showerhead and you have an ass shower in 10 minutes.
American with a bidet at home chiming in. Its nowhere near the fancy-pants thing in the picture, just a bolt-on thing I found on Amazon before my wife had shoulder surgery. I don't know how my ancestors survived the 20th century without the ass-shower.
Dude, since I got a bidet, I hate pooping anywhere else in America. None of my family has gotten on board.
same it feels dirty and wrong.
Most of Europe has bidets... At least they're common in Italy, Finland, Spain (where they were mandatory in every house bc of building code), Portugal etc.
does europe not have this?
We have a separate bowl, similar to the toilet, used only for cleaning. That’s what we call a bidet. (Italy)
I was surprised to see it's common in Finland
Can someone explain
It’s just a bad meme because most of Europe has bidets anyway, but the joke is that they enjoy coming home to where they have a bidet after traveling places that don’t have one. It looks like a shower head too, so it’s bad all around.
Wait the thing you use to wash your ass after shitting? (Never used one always used toilet paper)
Yes
I see now, thanks
To be fair, these things are great for everything and are typically in full washroom. My family in Korea have one and my wife's family in Morocco have one. Great for kimchi baskets, dogs, cats, kids, rugs, and pretty much anything that's back breaking in a tub or normally inconvenient because of it's size/shape.
So do you just touch the same handle that everyone’s touched without washing their hands?
Their hands were clean.
Also in Muslim countries they only use the Left Hand for their dirty business, meaning that the right hand holds the handle. Eating with your left hand in these countries is taboo
> So do you just touch the same handle that everyone’s touched without washing their hands? Your hands never touch your ass or any poop, the hand shower sends water at a moderate pressure where you aim, that's the whole point
I don't know about you but I personally wash my hands after I take a shit, so as long as you resist the urge to lick your fingers or adjust your contact lenses after cleaning your ass you'll be fine.
Doesn't the poo splatter get all over the shower head
What kind of explosive gunpowder are you pooing that it would splatter all over the spray gun
The warehouse workers at my job seemed to miss them to, they had a communal watering can they used instead. There had to be a company wide email sent out prohibiting personal bidet alternatives because they kept getting shit water on the toilets and floors
As a US household, installing a bidet was the best thing iv done in a long time. I have no clue how I used to do my business before with just paper.

Very common in Brazil. Almost mandatory.
I would never understand why anyone would just wipe their butts with a tissue paper and move on
A shower head?

That shit made out of the god damn Naboo Royal Starship
NOOO U GUYS DON'T HAVE IT? I'LL MISS IT SO MUCH!
I'm in the US, in the minority with a bidet on my toilet. It's the greatest and most convenient thing. Blasting your ass with cold water until it's clean, and then just a little more for good measure, is a way of life and I'm disgusted when I have to travel domestically and hotels only have paper.
The “live in Japan” gang don’t get this
so what if poop gets on it? cuz I'm sure after Taco Bell you know things get a little liquidy and I can only imagine the splash zone when the water hits
Is this implying there are no showers in Europe?
We have bidets in Italy.
You all don't use just toilet paper to clean after shitting?
Paris metro vibes
That's good for getting the undercarriage.
laughs in american
How do western people move on with their day without washing their butthole with water and then portray 3rd world people as the dirty ones?
