For some reason, bidets have yet to catch on in a big way here in the States. It can be expensive, it takes up space and it may have an effeminate vibe to it, but let me tell you–there ain’t nothin’ wrong with a good butt washing now and then. Besides, billions of foreigners love it–they can’t all be wrong. But what about you? Would you / do you prefer a bidet over a regular toilet?

Friday, August 22, 2008 at 12:43 PMJust a small point, but a bidet does not replace a toilet so, really the question should simply be “do you like to use a bidet?”
You use a bidet in addition to a regular toilet. You have to have both. The bidet is primarily a washing basin as opposed to being used as a toilet.
We have a bidet and its great to use. In fact we are moving house and will be installing a toilet seat that has the washing functions built-in so that you dont need a separate bidet in the bathroom taking up precious space.

An interesting point on this is that countries that have a culture of cleaning their bottom with water as opposed to cleaning with paper, have less problems with their anus (i.e. haemhorroids, itching, soreness etc).
