I looked into one out of curiosity, Toto's in US are like 10k ... that's a whole lot of shitting that needs to be done to justify toilet paper saved, never mind adjusting to water blowing up your ass.

Also, the amount of electronics is insane. I tend to shy away from anything I can't servive myself and most modern cars are enough of a fucking headache. Fixing shit smeared unit isn't what I need in my life, I'd sooner dig a latrine with a hole in the floor than get a bidet.

Lol wat they're like 100 bucks at a local store.

I spent 13 extra bucks for a warm water function.

while I respect that just smearing your crap residue around your buttcrack isn't a good solution, a bidet just sorta flops some random drinking fountain stream at your poop, and that's a half-assed solution
I make a habit of pooping then taking a shower including a thorough blasting of the undercarriage with the removable shower head.

I have to shower typically to be clean all the way.

I installed a $100 bidet seat attachment on my toilet like 4 years ago and it's the best $100 I've ever spent in my life. I use so much less toilet paper, that when the whole toilet paper panic buying thing happened two years ago it didn't affect me at all. Plus, I haven't seen a poop stain in my underwear in years, which makes laundry a lot less gross.

Besides, think of it like this: if you got shit on your hands, would you just wipe them off with a paper towel? Unless you're some kind of complete troglodyte, chances are you're going to furiously wash them with water and soap.

According to a few people I've talked about this with, it's because they aren't comfortable with spraying water up there unless it's in the shower. Not sure what non-insane people's reason is.

Literally what's the difference if you're cleaning yourself?

More secret homosexuals.

I saw the Simpsons episode with it in Japan and ever since the thought of a giant hairy ass getting washed just turned me off from it.

I don't have a hairy ass so why it has scarred me I do not know. I would ponder it more, but the thought of pondering more about a hairy ass just seems even more disturbing so I can't go there.

It occurred to me after reading the above I am most likely not sane.

Are you having a good Saturday night? I'm out of it.

They have frostfree ones now?

Yes, but I'm talking about a frost-free hose bib (sillcock?). Using a bidet that's at near-freezing temperature sounds like a recipe for vasovagal syncope and taking a chunk out of your head with the towel bar.

Have you tried cleansing foam on a piece of toilet paper?

It's sold as a rinseless cleaner for "body, hair and perineum.," Emphasis mine. You may not need it every time, but in a pinch, it's nice to have some butt foam around.

Quality information all around. You make a strong point regarding the vasovagal syncope. I didn't even consider that.

Is that the modern version of squat toilet? The only squat toliets I've seen are the ones that the more civilized street shitters use and they would easily fit it with the early 20th/late 19th century.

The funny part is that us westerners think that the western toilet design is better, but by all accounts, it isn't. It can create the potential for several conditions that are not a problem with squatting toilets. Western toilet designs increase the potential for constipation, diverticulosis, hemorrhoids, etc...
