Bidet Anyone?
A decade ago, after spending several weeks with friends in Europe,
wife and I installed a bidet in our upstairs Bathroom. They appear
to be typical equipment in many European countries, we've even
stayed in Hotel Rooms that have bidets. In addition to using ours
for its intended use, it's a great place for setting plants
into for watering. Our Washer room is downstairs and we don't
have a Laundry Chute, so it sometimes serves as a catch-all for
things headed that direction. I'll bet there're other practical
used too, ones I haven't even thought of! Especially for Nudists, a
Bidet is a useful addition to any bathroom, yet I wonder why they
haven't caught on more here in the US. Anyone have an answer, or
else do you have one in your Bathroom?
You know I have always thought the same thing. Why don't American's have Bidets? I was told Bidets are more popular in Europe because they tend to spot wash more often and a full shower only every few days. I can't really believe that to be the case though. I tend to shower 2 or more likely 3 times a day and always right after taking care of my business. If I had a bidet I might not have to shower that much. They do take up more room and require more plumbing though.
I think bidets may be a thing of the past here in Europe. I remember using one on the second floor of a very tall hotel. The water pressure was so high that I inadvertently gave myself an enema and had to return to the toilet to let it out.
Interesting. I guess as a typical American, I never considered getting anything like this. Prior to reading the posts and checking out information on-line, I would've considered the bidet "female territory." Thanks for the enlightenment! I'll consider an add-on option to see how it "flows!" Thanks!
We lived in Portugal for 12 years and every house has to have a bidet as part of the building regulations. As we are from the UK we had never used one before but since living there and using it every day we would not be without one. It is so much more hygienic. No it is not a woman's thing everyone should use them. If you do not have one the cheap way is to have a short length of hosepipe with a nozzle on the end attached to the water inlet to the toilet.
