I fucking hate toilet paper. Why don't toilets come equipped with bidets in America as a standard??? Why are we still wiping our butts with paper like savages?

Why are bidets not the standard for toilets?

Maybe they cost more? I dunno. I've honestly never seen one in the US ever.

While this is true, I don't want to have to move from the toilet to the shower to clean my butt
Call me crazy

This is why you just poop in the shower.

Aren't they basically just combination toilet/water fountains? Can you drink hot water out of them?

Imagine how many people stick that up their butt in public restrooms.

You should come to Finland, we have a small showerhead for that purpose in every toilet (not in public ones).

Because bidets are disgusting. Lets spray all the shit around with water, that surely cant go wrong.

What are you meant to do with those bidets that have separate hot and cold taps? They basically look like a sink in the shape of a toilet bowl.

My apartment doesn't have a bidet cause we're freaking poor so every time my wife and I stop at Don Quijote and use their bathrooms it's like we've won the freaking lottery. Bidets are like transcending into Heaven. Don't know how we'll manage once we're back in the US.

... The answer is much less than people's seeming inability to use toilet paper properly.
My $20 bidet attachment has been magic. Every time a one wipe. Saves on toilet paper and never been cleaner.

You sit on it and wash your ass.
Pretty straightforward
I'm talking about the ones with normal faucets, the one spraying water up your ass are possibly even worse than no bidet

heated seats are pretty offputting.... it feels like a ghost ass is haunting the seat...
You sad pampered bourgeois with your water and 5 ply quilted toilet papers.
Never wipe your bum; let it dry and crust over, then it flakes off on its own. If you always eat a handful of pot pourri with every meal, the flakes and subsequently your pants, will smell like wonderful flowers #LifeHack

To separate the rest of us from the savages.
It does at first, but after you get used to the fact that it's warm because it's heated, not because someone else was sat there, it's pretty great. Can't stand freezing seats in the winter

... I'm pretty sure that's to wash your feet?

I looked into it a while ago.... I'm pretty sure I can get a new bathroom put in for twice the price of a Toto Washlet, plus then you need electric hookup too.
Everybody should do that
Or something similar to some of muslim and asian countires and use a bidet shower infinatetly better than just bloody paper

I've never understood how people suffice with paper alone. Having a shitty arse all day must be the worst.
That was the one of the harder things to adjust to when moving to a more western country, sometimes i do the "family" method and bring a recyclable water bottle

Butt guns are better. You have more control of water pressure, and temp (usually just fitted to one temp though). You can get attachments for your existing toilet or get one attached to the piping if you're fitting a new bathroom. Would assume attachments to the toilet itself are weaker though.
Just remember to turn it off after every use as they leak. Overall a worthy investment for cleanliness.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
I strategically time my dumps to be just before my showers.
You don't! Just wipe til the paper comes back clean. Job done.
But let's throw this into the mix; there was a thread on a forum I was on a few years back about arse wiping technique and it turned out that a surprisingly large number of people stand up from the toilet to wipe their bottom. I mean how does that work? Surely that just squashes faecal matter betwixt your cheeks!

You could use a multipack of rolls for one shit and it still wouldn't compare to washing. I'll bet you get barbeque sauce on your hands, wipe them with a paper towel and leave it at that.

yeah but if you have a bad shit, sometimes toilet paper just doesnt cut it man
Those are standard here in Saudi Arabia. Easily the best and most comfortable in my experience.
I need to look up the Japanese one and see how it works.
