Is it clean?
I wipe it with kitchen tissue paper. Then I leave it for many days to thoroughly dry, and eventually everything falls off as dry powder and I'm left with a clean bowl.
(Actually I don't ever need to wash it because it eventually would get washed with tomorrow's soup... I don't want to imagine the analogy... )

More advantages of bidets / washing with water:

1. as you sit on your "bottom"... then your sitting experience is more comfortable with a squeaky clean bottom rather than an itchy one

2. your mom / wife when loading the dirty laundry into the washing machine won't accidentally spot "racing stripes / skid marks" on your undies!

Hi everyone, I live in Italy and I confirm that here in the houses all the bathrooms have a bidet. It's a question of hygiene.
Why wait to take a daily shower to get clean? Even if the shower was twice a day or more.
My daughter lives in the US and she always tells me that the thing she misses the most is the bidet!
Trust me, whoever has it at home can't live without it!!!

PS:
In France they also don't use the bidet

Also, I think they were used more in Europe because they didn't necessarily take daily showers as in the U.S.

And I'm not so sure most people really care about hygiene.

I've been to the US several times and I'm not sure it's as you say.
Have you ever been to Europe?

I locked this thread and deleted the last post. It didn't feel appropriate in tone for a family-friendly forum.

Please don't reopen another thread on the same topic. Thanks.
