        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.

              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.

              How do you clean in the 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. 😉

                                Ok, eat your lunch with your hands, like Pizza or burgers, and then wipe your hands with paper, see how clean your hands afterwards...

                                  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.

                                        I know, but for people who haven't used bidets, they are indoctrinated to think that TP is acceptable. I've never met someone that used a bidet then was able to go back to smearing.

                                          Not so much sides, as a failure of people (like me) to believe they'd have the squat style toilets in the middle of the waiting area in train stations!

                                            an advanced topic would be (and periodically we discuss with my wife just to joke):
                                            "bidet: from front side or from back side? The expert's opinion."

                                            @Dashrender this should explain why you do not drop water: you have the towel in fron of you and you dry over the bidet:
