      There's no soap in a didet, so how is just using water better than using paper to wipe your ass?

      That's the part of this this whole thread has missed.

      Wipe? With your hand?

      Ugh. There's not enough water/soap in the world...

      I look at this like I look at chopsticks. Humankind has invented a better way.

          the ultimate bidet how-to.
          (was tempted to write this on github but then... no)

          1- you poo
          2- you wipe with toilet paper
          3- you was with water and soap
          4- you dry with a towel <- specific ass towel not the same of your hands.

          just as you was under the shower...

          BTW, about squat toilets:

              to put a bit of context, what @scottalanmiller found here, in Italy we call it "turca", litterally "turkish" (toilet).

              This was (is?) the default in Turkey. In 38 years in Italy I've met them less then 10 times. never in a house, mostly in the 80s in public places close to highways.

              main rational for them: you have not to touch anything to pee or poo just hang on your feet. anyway never pooed in... don't know how to manage it!

              other rational: you just need to throw acid or similar on the floor to clean. nothing else.

              don't know how turkish people manage it with childern. Also don't know what GPS navigator @scottalanmiller uses to hit them all! 😄

              definitively a strange kind of toilet.

              Very weird that you don't see them. We found them constantly. Seen them outside of Italy too, like Romania. But not as commonly.

                @msff-amman-Itofficer bidet is somethig used mostly in mediterranean/middle east countries. even center europe has not bidet wide spread.

                What do they use then, just TP ? I think I googled the reason why no bidet or shattafa is used in Canada, and the excuse was that in the 1900 there was no available warm water so they just rolled with it ever since or something.

                It's funny how much people from bidet countries are shocked and disgusted by non-bidet countries. The idea that people don't wash after pooing is pretty gross once you are used to it.

                  Yup. Pretty common. You need to dry off after a shower. No different. Localized shower.

                      Because water gets you clean. Smearing with paper does not.

                        Again, how do you keep that ass water off your pants while moving around to dry your ass?

                            Same way you keep bits of poo from dropping on your pants when using TP.

                                Not sure I agree. I've never used a bidet, I just imagine that water is all over the place compared too normal poo, which is very localized. Of course explosive poo is a whole different story. 😉

                                        There is water everywhere after a shower, too. Clean water.

                                          who moves around? if your using the Shattaf, your doing everything while seated and all in one place, and when you finish just sit for extra 30 seconds and gravity will do its magic, also ofcourse we use TP. While I am sit i prepare some TP and then I stand up and as I stand you dry yourself.

                                          I cant believe I am explaining that regular water is much better for cleaning than TP... and why and how.

                                          The only thing I liked at Canada toilets, is that you can throw the TP in the toilet, and it uses some kind of suction instead we use alot of water to create an whirlpool of some sort to flow down.

                                            This is a hot topic. I have to be honest, I didn't think we'd have sides in this thread
