...AKA handheld bidets. AIBU to think they're brilliant, and anyone who is content with wiping their arse with dry tissue is a barbarian?

People from eastern cultures find it gross that Europeans live like this.

People from Eastern cultures don't eat with their leftt hand because they use it to wash their arse.

Never had a runny poo in your life! Never had the squits after dodgy food, after alcohol, on your period, when ill? As a child? 🤯

No I don't remember doing so. I've not really ever been ill. I've had colds and tonsillitis but that's about it. Never had food poisoning or sick bugs etc. Maybe I did as a child but I don't remember any.

Following a thread on bidets not long ago I've had a bum gun added to the plans for the revamp of downstairs loo starting soon 😄

@Silvergoldandglitter I believe you, but you really are so lucky as

I never understand these threads. I wipe with toilet paper and there's nothing ever on the paper. I don't understand how poo is getting all around your bumholes, do I just have a funny shaped one? 😂

Think it's more to do with diet than bum shape.

98% of my poos are also "lucky poos", but for the 2% that aren't, I will be installing an arse hose when the bathroom gets renovated. Used one on holiday 10+ years ago and have been raving/wistfully dreaming about it ever since.

NameChangingIsMySuperPower · 06/05/2023 23:52

I don't understand them.

From reading this thread, they're not powerful enough to spray shit everywhere and also a bottle of water can be used as an alternative. So they must be like drizzling water over your arse??

If I could do that with my baby after I had changed his shitty nappy I would. But that totally wouldn't work. So I use wipes to wipe it off.

Honestly don't see how splashing a bit of water at your bumhole is going to clean it properly. Surely, you'd need a flannel or something. I suppose you could use loo roll, but in my experience it just goes to annoying tiny bits when added to water.

I use soap as well but I don't know if that's common (have a bidet bottle)
After lots of googling I found a thing called bottle washing for UTI/cystitis, tried it and it's worked so I don't dare stop doing it!

Also having had the unpleasant experience of getting a whiff of someone's unwashed bum during sex.. no thanks

Japanese toilet is the way forward

They are powerful but the nozzle is direct so not spraying everywhere and definitely not a dribble. Trust me, they get it it all off and no mess anywhere. I've used them for years and pardon the pun but I'm anal about clean bathrooms and personal hygiene so I wouldn't be raving about them if they made a mess or didn't do the job.

I'd love a bidet. I hate poos that don't exit cleanly, particularly when one is in a rush

They are powerful enough to clean it all off. Also really good for cleaning out the potty after use.

When my babies were little I used to hold their bums under the tap to wash the poo off rather than use wipes, that worked so much better than wipes for those liquid newborn poos.

Such a valuable contribution to a dead thread

Since, to my bemusement, nobody has commented on "deterred from being de-turd", I'm going to post just to tip my hat for that.

👌🏾bravo

Is that a faux pas?

BobbyBiscuits · 23/01/2024 16:57

They had them all the time in Thailand/Cambodia. I was always too scared to use it! I'd worry I'd make more mess than I started with! Each 'poo' their own I guess : )

Eh? 🤣🤣 Have you no bum cheeks? You've never had to wipe poo off your arse?

How big is your bum that you get poo on your bum cheeks?

Curious. Doing a bathroom right now. What's the proper name for these things? I am certainly not going to Google 'bum gun'!

ScroogeMcDuckling · 23/01/2024 17:27

Love our bidets!

they were in when we moved in, one is late 60s, and one is mid 70s.

there is no feeling like it ;-)

goingrouge · 23/01/2024 17:28

I now really want a bum gun! I'm off to research. Are they tricky to install?

WeeOrcadian · 23/01/2024 17:40

We have a bum gun (and call it such) - amazing. I don't use it all the time but heavy periods? It's a life saver if you don't have time for a shower .

Ours is a mixer so isn't just cold water

Off topic - I bought a douche kit as I suffer from occasional constipation and it really helps

Disturbia81 · 23/01/2024 18:29

@Infusedwithchamomileandmint Of course poo gets on your arse, hence wiping. Inner cheeks, clearly not the big cheek bit
