in Italy, there is literally a law obligating houses to have a bidet. the separated from the toilet kind.
Just another reason to like Italy even more.
I don't understand how those work at all...seems like that would be a recipe for poop tracks from the toilet.
well... it is time to explain to an internet stranger how we clean our bum.
the towel is generally personal, and we change it every couple of days.
That may have been sarcastic, but I appreciated the info. It beats having to take a shower.
What part of cleaning your ass could be misconstrued as gay? Feels like an unnecessary aside, haha. Thanks for the step by step though, that makes sense!
i legit have no idea, but on every tread talking about bitets, there is always someone that discards it because is gay to touch your own ass
Legit question: Do you wash your hands again after that?
oh, yes, felt like it was obvious... i'm not touching anything without washing my hands after that.
Well I mean I do that in the shower, and I don't wash my hands again after the shower, so I have no idea what the mentality is.
That would never fly in the US. They complain about water usage so much that they regulate shower heads so that they barely drip water, and toilets so that they don't have enough water to flush solid waste. The bidet would just blow the regulators' heads with all the water usage.
Which would be short sightedness on their part, since bidets actually save water in the long run by reducing TP usage
Only if they sit on it backwards for the drying portion.
not surprised that Italy (who has a history of fascism and from what I heard currently has a fascist leader) has an authoritarian law requiring that people do things in their own homes (kinda like some HOAs in the US. Although, I have to admit, we must have lucked out with a HOA that's not one of the shitty ones you always hear about)
fascism is when regulation
Yeah! Fucking fascists and their safety and building codes. Don’t even get me started on smoke detector and fire codes. Goddamn government always trying to keep slumlords down.
“Hey you need to build the house with these features in order for it to be approved”
“Wuh what??? This is literally fascism”
you are not obligated to use it.
a funny story, a couple from England transformed it into a vase and planted flowers in it.
