Why are bidets not the standard for toilets?

Was curious what you meant by bum gun, looked up a video

so basically a dishwasher hose, hope it does the job well!
Is it even possible for toilet instructional content to not be funny?

Butt Gun needs to be a band name if it's not

Just saw someone posted a pic on page two.
It took a while for me to convert, but once I did, there was no going back. It's much cleaner and better for the environment (plus not having to buy toilet paper is an massive bonus)

Lol, perfect
It really isn't a hassle at all, it just takes time to get over the conditioning you've had from a very young age.
In the USA people have absolutely no respect for public facilities. yeah, bum guns or bidet hoses would be absolutely trashed and in need of constant replacing. TP is just cheaper. Damn you people and your blocking of progress...
As opposed to the sexual liberated and open minded places like Saudi arabia
I know it's joke

eh, guess i'm a savage then... there's almost no bidet in switzerland, always used paper and it's good enough.... i mean how do you wipe yourself guys? You can clean everything easily with paper, and you can also buy these kind of things if it's not enough :
The delicate flowers that use flushable wipes have no idea the kind of havoc they are wreaking: https://www.theguardian.com/sustain...isposable-wipes-sewer-toilet-cities-flushable

Just come back from Japan for 2 weeks. Live in the UK.
Am currently researching the best bidet I can get mounted onto my toilet at home. Honestly paper has never been good enough for me. If it's a truly dirty deed I won't be satisfied until I shower.
Western pigs we are.

That'd be a Toto Washlet, but thanks to 240V, be prepared to pay out £2k, plus the cost to get an electrician to wire up your bathroom. They're a lot pricier than they are in Japan
I think there are cheaper seats at the ~£500 mark but I don't know anything about them. We're having a new bathroom this year and my wife really wants us to stretch to getting one put in.

No way in hell would I ever get this
My head would spin with what happens if I lick it thoughts
Disgusting
Wait so there are bidets in public restrooms in Europe?
That seems pretty disgusting imo. Wouldn't urine and feces spray/residue get on the faucet? So you are spraying other people's urine and shit up your ass?
I don't really even like the idea of spraying my own urine and fecies residue up my ass crack.
Just put some water on some tp from the sink if you have a poop marker situation going on. Wipe once with wet/damp tp and then use dry tp. Done.

Aren't they unhygienic for females? Typical man centric attitude shown by these bidet loving chauvinists

If every toilet had a toto washlet there would be no war anymore. Those shower head things are for heathens.
Not at all. Even the ones you have to pay for you'd be very lucky to find one.

Because we're the idiot country that voted for Trump. We stick with outdated, dumb ideas all the time and wear it like a badge of honor.
Seriously though, I keep thinking I should buy one of those bidet toilet seats. How difficult are they to set up?

Likewise I couldn't imagine how people think smearing shite around their ring-piece with a dry tissue, is likely to be successful at removing it. Unless you are one of those rare ghost-poo-ers.

This is what my dorm room had in Italy. Never knew how to use it. Never tried.

We have them but I refuse to use them. Hate having shit-water dribbling off my balls after every spray

Could try getting something from South Korea since they use 220V. If you're getting just the seat at least...

The problem isn't that bidet's aren't standard, it's that traditional toilet paper is trash and you may as well be using a corn husk to wipe your ass. Use wet wipes and you don't need a $2500 facebook-connected toilet to spray dirty water on your taint.

So I have to jump in the shower every time I take a dump? That's even less convenient than wiping with toilet paper.
- It's not dirty water, it's from the same source as the water you're using in the shower and sink to wash the rest of your body
- Wet wipes cause sewer blockages and are really not a good solution. Even "flushable" ones

I think you'd be a savage anyway in my eye..
I'm italian..

THEN I use the bidet...

They should be.
There are so many things wrong with many bathrooms that just have basic toilet paper and the standard toilet that you sit on like a chair.
First, people need to squat when they go. It feels much better and relieves a lot of stress on area of your body. All toilets should have feet rests under them that you can prop up on and squat over the toilet.
Second is plain toilet paper. I need to feel clean after using the bathroom, not dirty. Wet wipes help a lot but they have problems clogging sewage lines (I still use them).
The ideal toilet experience will have a stool for squatting, wet wipes to clean, bidet attachment to rinse, then normal toilet paper to dry.

Adds on to a standard toilet, takes like 10 minutes to install, and costs $35 USA DOLLARS

This may be the wrong thread to ask but, is there any good portable bidets/washer? Currently living in the UK and I miss having it.
To go On Topic. I think for home bidets are a god send but in a public place I can kind of see why a public restroom doesn't have one.

what about this type of bidet ?
Is this some meme I'm not getting or are you guys actually washing your feet in the shit-sink?
Some weird guy on Youtube made a video about why bidets are not popular in the US and this was basically his theory when indoor plumbing was becoming popular in the US there was a large amount of Puritanical anti-European sentiment and bidets were considered to be a kind of debauchery suitable only for the French.

Wouldn't it be better to tp after though?
Sounds like a crack in the market has just opened for Dyson.
How do you dry your ass from all that poo-water after?

well it was common in brothels
This is why you buy biodegradable ones that fall apart easily.
I use them on my toddler, and sometimes on myself. They can tear easily though...so careful. Haha
Haha, was what I was going to say. Just walk around with wet underwear?
I don't think I'm the only that uses those things and I never heard of problems with our sewers.

Buying a Toto washlet was one of those purchases that I wish I bought earlier.
