To think bidets should be removed?

[Elouera]

If you were renovating a large, 1940's home, would you replace the bidets when modernising the bathrooms?

YABU- replace with modern ones
YANBU- remove them altogether

They have them in some hotels like the shard

@Macncheeseballs- do you know if they have them in the aquashard restaurant in the shard or just the hotel part?

Bidets are bliss. For a freshen up on your period, to clean properly after a number 2, a quick wash pre or post sex, small children can reach bidets for handwashing, cleaning small children after an explosive nappy...

I really don’t get the bidet hate. Why wouldn’t you want to be clean after going to the toilet? We even have them in our office loos (I’m not in the U.K.). We also had no loo roll emergency during the lockdown. Connected?

On another note, I noticed that in many U.K. hotels and a few homes there’s not the mini shower attachment in the shower either, only the main shower head. Just how does one get one’s bum clean and rinsed off fully?

I want one of those Japanese toilets now. Apart from the hygiene aspect, the night light is just fab!

@pistolknight

We kept the bath toys in ours, never used it for intended purpose and exh said (after we had removed it when refurbing) he missed the foot wash - turns out he didn't realise what it was really for!

We have them and I'm a fan. Need to be in the same room as the toilet though! I keep a small towel next to the bidet and it gets put straight in the wash after use. Far more environmentally friendly too.

They have them in TING, at the Shard.

I went to the ladies and found that, not only did my cubicle have a floor-to-ceiling view of the whole of South and West London, it also had a proper Japanese toilet! I was so busy looking at the view that I didn't have time to try out the buttons and just had to settle for the ordinary flush.

It was one of the most exciting loo visits of my life.

When I had my two children, 1969 and 1972, there were bidets on the post natal wards.The wards had just been built (1967) and were thought to be the greatest thing since sliced bread.Both of mine were born by EMCS but the girls who had had loads of stitches "down below" thought they were a godsend.In those days you were swabbed in bed straight after giving birth but on the second day you were told to use the bidet
We all found them a great new thing.

I'd replace the bidet. If you have any use for it....

I’d forgotten about that @nildesparandum. You’re right, I had mine in 1975 and they were brilliant with all those stitches.

I love my bidet. I would never replace it.

This is closer than the Brexit referendum, with the Japanese toilet or extra attachment the EFTA / Switzerland options not available to vote for...

Elouera suppose you could ask John Lewis or someone could you try before you buy. I think you should choose a quiet time in the shop to try 😁

Why would you need to even try? A little metal spout thing pops out and squirts your bum hole with water... What's not to like??!!!
