to think the UK should have bidets

[LarkspurBlues]

Just that really. I far prefer the French habit of having a wash after having a no 2, much more civilised. The British way is actually unhygienic and gross.

Nobody is forcing you to stay in the gross UK.

Talking to yourself is never a good sign.

I live in france and I honestly don't know anyone that has a bidet.

Have the rules of AIBU changed?

Ah sorry, I thought you meant to quote someone but forgot. 😂 I was just joking.

not sure why you care about other people's bums?

Ewww

None of my French friends have them

you want one get one

Actually I think squat toilets do more than open your mind a bit. Don't they help open your bowels?

They are less and less common in France and I think that is because they date from when people didn't shower once or twice a day.

I've had a stoma since having emergency surgery last November. This thread is making me nostalgic 🤣

I do remember a girl at school telling me rather authoritatively (for a 14 year old) that the French had bidets because they were "always having sex in the daytime" and had to rush back to work without time for a shower. A bidet meant they could douche their bits so their spouse couldn't detect any foul play.

Why do you care about other people's bums so much?

Everyone seems to have 2 layers between their bum and the outside world and I've not noticed a whole world of stinky bums out there.

Do you have a problem with yours, because I find mine stays clean after a poo and a wipe.

Has none ever had a sitz bath?? Yes, you fill the bowl and sit in it. Just like you would a bath, only it's just for your bum. Or, you can just use the tap to swish your bits, or some bidets have squirty showers heads fixed to the bottom that you sit over which is even better and quite fun. But, you also are not sitting in a soup of shit, because you have wiped your arse first, obviously!

Also, I have never seen nor heard of anyone showering off after a bath ..... Really.

This must be a joke

Of course it's a joke 🤣
