What is the point of a B Day, does anyone actually use them?

[Lorddenning1]

Does anyone have a B day, in this day and age are they still being used? My parents have one and it just got me thinking, like how does it work, I have never used one before, isn't having a shower easier, can someone explain to me?

I had one when I lived in Spain. I bloody loved it! I used it to wash my feet, my work shirts would be soaked in it. I did also use it for the purpose it is intended which was handy if you had disco minge, which was common living in a hot country!
I would love one now. Just as an aside you can now buy sprays that turn your normal bog roll into a wet wipe

@WillSantaBeComingToTown

It is better than an A day but not as good as a C day.

Those z days though- unbelievable

🤣🤣🤣

I'd love to have one! Or one of those toilet hoses.

For the entirety of my childhood I thought they were for rinsing your bikini on holiday. I only ever seen them in mainland Europe hotels and that's what my mum used them for 😂

you mean a bidet. We have one and both use it. I love it.

Disco minge 😂😂😂

I have two in my house, main bathroom and my en-suite. They were in when I bought the house but actually are really useful and used loads. As PP's mentioned, shaving legs and bits, washing after sex, washing before sex, soaking clothes etc. If you have the room definitely get one.

@Jinglebellissimo

You use it to wash your clothes in before putting them away in your Chester drawers

Brilliant

Penis beaker not necessary with a bidet.

What? You’re supposed to straddle it? I thought you sat on it like the loo.

Well, I’ve learned something tonight...

Mick Dundee eventually figures it out:

This thread inspired me to search Japanese toilets on Youtube. Just watched Guy Martin playing with one, spraying water all over the place as he giggled about washing his "trumping gear" lol

Nothing useful to add. Never used one.
But I wanted to say, thanks for giving me a laugh with "B Day" as I've had a shit day and it cheered me up.
Also, nice that you took it so gracefully when people corrected you.
It's bidet :-D

How do you clean yourself if your not using water???? Never understood this. I'd never clean a baby's bum with just dry paper, nevermind my own.

I'll be the third person coming on disappointed not to be finding a thread of fellow birthday haters.

My parents put one in when they got their en suite re done 2 years ago. Toddler DD loves washing her hands in it.

They're all right; many of my relatives had them when I was a child. I can see they'd come into their own when you have children; wish we'd had one 20 years ago for that alone!

I've only used a bidet on holiday if I need to wash some knickers. I have a b day every year, when I get cards and presents.

Aren't you meant to go on arse first then?

For those taking the piss, my mum is 82 and can no longer get out of the bath so her bidet (variations of which she’s had since I was 7!!) is able to wash her bits/feet etc. For her, it’s an absolute boon.

It’s true what pp are saying re we’re the horrible unhygienic lot, wiping with dry tissue after poos. A mate used to tell her colleagues she’d be late for work if she had a poo cos she’d had to shower afterwards. A bidet would’ve saved her loads of time!

We have bidet attachments on both of our toilets, and I wouldn't be without them. They're so much cleaner.

😂😂😂

I'm not quite sure why it surprises me that someone with the user name Lorddenning1 doesn't know how to spell 'bidet', but it does!

Went on a school hol to France when I was 12, sharing a room with my friend. We had a bathroom with shower, sink, bath and bidet but no loo! Even at 12 I couldnt work out that logic! So rather than trek to the shared loo, we pee'd in the bidet and only went to the communal loo for solids :o

I thought this was one of those awful, joyless threads about how it's childish to celebrate your birthday as an adult.

Well, I didn't think that it would be about thinking it's childish; but about how HORRIBLE it is to have one's new age rubbed in and treated as a social occasion. I literally sometimes have nightmares about people forcing me to celebrate 'age milestones'. Maybe that's childish of me, as one doesn't literally become a year older on one's birthday; but I really do HAAAATE my birthday more than almost anything in the universe, except the coronavirus and a few political leaders! No problem with anyone else celebrating theirs, so long as they don't try to celebrate mine!

On a lighter note, I have heard that the President-elect of the USA has occasionally had his name 'corrected' to Bidet!
