This is a bidet though
I have a similar one right next to my bidet. There’s no way I’m going back there. It even has a fan, ya hear me? A fan!
Get ready for the experience of traveling, needing a shit and then realizing there won’t be a bidet.
Vacations are so much less enjoyable now. Like it shouldn’t ruin my whole experience, but it kinda does.
Go to Japan, ig?
as an arab you couldn’t imagine my shock when i travelled abroad and experienced the joy of hemorrhoids for the first time lol
They say travel reveals new sides of your self.
I spend a lot of time working away from the office at sites.
I have a bidet at home and specifically save my shits for when I get home.
My ass just dosnt feel properly clean these days if I have to shit like a commoner.
I couldn’t live without one.
It’s so much cleaner and you save so much money and it has other uses too.
What other uses? Lol
😏
Shouldn’t that outlet, be a GFI outlet? Literally to uh, save your ass.
It could be connected in line with a GFCI outlet or breaker.
Most likely behind a GFCI outlet. Usually, its the one closest to the door and everything else daisy chains off of it.
Maybe even outlets in other rooms! That’s really fun when a random outlet stops working
I know of a house that has the upstairs bathroom daisychained off of the downstairs kitchen. They are not above/below each other.
I’ll never understand why that much wire routing is worth a $20 GFCI.
You guys don’t do GFCI everywhere?
Where are you that they do that? Under water? Lol
Europe, we call it RCCB and it’s in the electrical distribution board on all circuits. GFCI isn’t only useful in wet conditions, it protects you everywhere where there is the possibility of a circuit between a live wire and the ground with you in the middle.
Although it’s an absolute pain in the arse in certain scenarios. Surge protectors essentially present as a leak to earth any time they do their job, so my mandatory RCCBs on every circuit turn minor mains fluctuations into permanent outages.
I really need to see if I can legally run one circuit that isn’t RCD protected for my homelab…
Put the surge protector before your RCD?
You understand that the RCD is (mandatorily) in the electrical distribution panel where it hands off to the utility supply right?
I don’t know all the details. Are you sure you’re literally not allowed to place anything before the RCD? Technically SPD then RCD makes the most sense to me, so it seems strange to me that it wouldn’t be allowed, but I couldn’t find any clear answer.
100% correct, code violation and that person is asking for trouble.
Not every outlet in the room needs to be a GFCI.
in fact, some places specifically forbid chaining GFCI outlets
I once heard the phrase “a water fountain for your butthole” and hear it every time I see one.
I’m so jealous.
I seriously do not understand the cultural reluctance to adopting the bidet. After using one it becomes instantly clear how awful the alternative is.
Hi I’m from the TP lobby, but don’t you want to smear poo around on yourself with a piece of paper that will probably rip anyway and get it all over your hand too? 🥺
American Conservatives think washing buttholes is the ghey.
I can’t believe people don’t want to feel their own buttholes. Smh my head.
As someone from a country where bidets are normalized, I was horrified when I learned what the toilet paper in Western cartoons was actually used for.
Wait you don’t use both?
I think they mean that they didn’t realise the toilet paper was used for “cleaning” instead of just for drying up after the cleaning was done.
I put off getting one for a long time just because I didn’t see a problem with the way things were going. If only I had realized sooner how much better life could be.
Mostly speculation on my part and remembering conversations from decades ago, but at least in the US among men, anything touching your butthole = gay. Using a bidet is something those effeminate Europeans use and not something for manly Americans. These same men think that actually cleaning your butthole in the shower is also gay. Fortunately this mainly seems to be a mindset that older generations hang onto, as I talk to younger folks (Millennial and younger), they seem to be much more open to bidet usage. I have one installed at home and I don’t feel clean if I have to do my business somewhere without one.
I’ve noticed this as well and have starting using bidets as a quality of life improvement flex.
Hard to pretend you’re the man when you’re walking around with a nasty ass and I’m over here feeling fresh as fuck on the hottest day of the summer.
Haha. If I have to do business elsewhere I’ll give myself a rinse when I get home in order to freshen up.
Gay: remotely squirting water at your butt. Not gay: shoving your hand up your butt covered by the world thinnest paper.
Oh wow. Look at Mr. moneybags over here with the Japanese Toto Washlet.
Costco + coupon + birthday = clean butt
When your first sick or ‘magic marker poop’ hits you will feel the most magical moment when your not stuck wiping 20 times.
Good old birth day rim job.
Where coupon you speak of
It was a discount applied on the web. It might expired
Running till end of day, I found it, good looking out, we’re about to both be shitting like kings
The irony of Japan - world’s finest toilets and no Mexican food.
RIGHT???
Whenever I mentioned tacos over there they were like “yeah we already have tako.” (Squid)
I usually see “poor Mexican food” which is more accurate, but still not fully. We have Mexican, Tex-Mex, Cali-Mex, etc. here. Not a ton, but we get more and more.
Confused congrats from Germany.
Is that really what you call a bidet? Because our bidets here are unrelated to the toilet and that’s a Japanese toilet. The bidet is the one for washing https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet.
The Japanese toilet uses wash sprayers to act like a bidet. Takes up less room. For some reason, Americans like dirty asses.
I know bidets and Japanese toilets but the image shown is the latter and not a bidet that’s why I’m curious if that definition is a US thing or something, I like learning.
The image shown most definitely contains a bidet.
It’s a washlet bidet, which attaches either underneath the toilet seat or as part of the toilet seat itself, and usually has controls that jut out to the right of the seat(to the right from the perspective of the seated person).
The toilet in this picture has a washlet bidet installed.
This is separate from the kind of bidets that are installed separately from the toilet, as is common in many other countries.
I think removing the need to move the dirty bottom from one hole to another is a key innovation.
Interesting, thanks!
99% of Americans have dirty assholes, because they are dirty assholes.
You are what you eat.

Some people cluch pearls, others clench dingleberries.
That’s a fancy one. Mine only has two settings, drinking fountain on my butthole or power wash the inside of my colon.
Mine was literally the cheapest I could find (Amazon flash sale during COVID for maybe $30?) and isn’t even powered, but still manages to have a continuous knob to adjust pressure, along with three buttons for where to aim the spray (butt, front, and self-clean).
Yeah, same. Cheap, no power other than my water pressure and no warming either so the water is always cold. 🥶
But, it gets the job done.
Yeah, back when I was properly plumbed we had two. One expensive one with a tank on the side of the toilet for warm water kept the same temperature for as long as, well I gave it to my cool brother before I started dating my wife and she didn’t want a bidet don’t get me started I think it still works tho, and one cheap one with just pressure control and just cold water, but was great if you ever needed to do a little spring cleaning and that one is in the home office and I just did a little spring cleaning last week. $35 gets you where you need to go
Yeah, that pretty much sounds like mine as well. OP has way more options there.

For those who hesitate making the investment, portable squirt bottles for this purpose are available for less than $25.
The bidets I buy install on the toilet and cost about the same.
Vietnam has a good way of doing it. You just tee in one of those kitchen sink sprayer heads to the water supply. You could even tee it off from the bathroom sink warm water.
Looks like the spray heads are $11-15, plus a hose and a tee fitting.
India too. Lots of Asia went this route. “bum gun” where I’ve been. It was a real blessing when I got food poisoning.
Same goes for Thailand, definitely a good cheap option if you got the angle right. Messy otherwise. Always do a pressure check into the bowl if it’s a public toilet…

Welcome. Others are beneath you now, but remain kind.
Agreed. Those walking around in their own filth are not savages, they just do not know any better.
Although not advisable, a bidet can be used as an emergency shower.
When testing ours, I turned the knob and sprayed the wall lol.
