I'm Italian and I must support @FaceDeer 's point, these are standard in my country (and they should be standard everywhere, damn barbarians) and they are definitely better than a spray nozzle attached to a toilet. You can also use them for other things, like washing your feet.

So you have a dirty crack, you got to get up, and waddle through the bathroom with pants on your ankles?

Yeah, I'm wondering about that. I'm a filthy TP barbarian but, how exactly does one make this style of bidet work?

[โ€“] Damage@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

You use toilet paper first, then move to the bidet. Which, btw, is next to the toilet, so even if you didn't clean yourself with TP it's pretty painless to move over.

I think there's confusion about which versions of bidet we're talking about. The kind I'm lauding, the ones like a little shower head, are attached to the toilet you're on. You don't need to go anywhere to use them, just reach over and take it from its holder.
