I want a Bidet. AIBU?

First world problems. We have recently moved. MrCat has appropriated family bathroom (with my grudging agreement due to difficult to access Bath) which has room for Bidet. I have smaller shower room (with loo), no room for Bidet. He wants to use space available in family bathroom for storage - however, it will be for his tons of ‘unguents’ - he had loads more than me. I want to change configuration to accommodate easier accessible bath, new loo plus bidet. What’s the consensus? TBH, don’t know why I’m even considering because probably won’t be able to afford winter gas bill let alone luxury of having of nethers washed without having to decant from shower and having to microfibre every last inch after to avoid damp (shower stall, not me). Arse - figuratively and literally.

YABU. Get a bidet shower instead for your loo.

Bidets are uncomfortable, awkward and overrated.

I would absolutely love a bidet! Either that or one of those that attaches to the loo

ChampagneWorries · 21/09/2021 23:46

What about a bum gun instead?

We bought a Turkish toilet. Bidet are a waste of space

Get a bum gun / bidet hose instead

Snugglybuggly · 22/09/2021 00:50

YABU no one needs a bidet

Youcunnyfunt · 22/09/2021 00:55

Yes I have a bum washer over the loo. You don't need a whole bidet. Another bloody 'loo' to clean!

YABU no one needs a bidet
After you've tried one you don't go back. So much better than just toilet paper

Hoowever you are not unreasonable to want a washed bum. Don't know why British loos don't have bum washers as standard, bit weird like.

Buy a Japanese style loo! Eg toto

MrsCatE · 23/09/2021 23:56

Bidets are common in most of Europe e.g if in Portugal / Italy, you’re practically handed your own bum drying towel on arrival at a family residence! I’ll take on board bum guns (very good advice) plus Japanese toilet - have experience of latter and it was good!

Toto Washlet is the answer to all your questions, the meaning of life and everything.

Shmithecat2 · 24/09/2021 00:03

Bum guns are great. We had them when living in the ME, and have had them installed in our house in the UK.

Totally irrelevant I know, but why is the overweight woman holding an apple while sitting on the bog? Confused Grin

I've got a Japanese style electronic bidet - it doesn't take up any room at all, you just use the loo and then press a button and you get a lovely warm wash. Life changing !
