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

      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!

          The mechanics of ass wiping: Mangolassi 2017
          I bet @Minion-Queen never thought we'd get here

          Introductions to the expert panel: "And what countries have you pooped in?" "Can you tell us about a disaster recovery scenario?"

          The benefits of redundant anuses

          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:

            I actually researched it and found out they are illegal in the US.

            Where is it illegal? I have to assume this is a state level law, not federal, but please confirm.

              @matteo-nunziati An ass towel you say?

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

              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.

              yeah, because I used soap.
              Plus - I'm naked in the shower - so no other clothes to get wet.

              Is there soap in a bidet?

                I'm a bit surprised by this one, too. I know that certain entities must provide free toilets, like restaurants, but banning toilet businesses seems odd.

                  IN a bidet? you don't get IN a bidet. that's like asking if there is toilet paper IN the toilet. There is soap at the sink, which is normally like, you know, six inches away.

                    rational for water being better than toilet paper alone.
                    quite boring reading...

                      It seems the laws may have changed. I think I looked it up in 2003 when I got back from France. I just read an article that in 2008 NY lifted the ban.

                      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pay_toilet

                      In the United States pay toilets became much less common from the 1970s, when they came under attack in the United States, from feminists as well as the plumbing industry. California legislator March Fong Eu argued that they discriminated against women because men could use urinals for free whereas women always had to pay a dime for a toilet stall in places where payment was mandatory.[4] The American Restroom Association was a proponent of an amendment to the National Model Building Code to allow pay toilets only in addition to free toilets.[5] A campaign by the Committee to End Pay Toilets in America (CEPTIA) resulted in laws prohibiting pay toilets in cities and states. In 1973, Chicago became the first American city to enact a ban, at a time when, according to the Wall Street Journal, there were at least 50,000 units in America,[6] mostly made by the Nik-O-Lok Company.[7] CEPTIA was successful over the next few years in obtaining bans in New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, California, Florida and Ohio.[7] Lobbying was successful in other states as well, and by decade's end, pay toilets were greatly reduced in America. However, they are still in use and produced by the Nik-O-Lok company as many of these laws have since been repealed.

                            There are many new toilet and bidet combinations today. It's like... hyperconverged.

                              Added one of these to the toilet at home a few years ago.

                                @NDC but it cant be IoT if it doesnt connect to wireless and creates vulnerability

                                    This is like a bidet but a.... watered down version.

                                      There is plenty of vulnerability in that area without connecting the toilet/bidet to the internet...

                                            That's more or less the model we have. There are many other options out there though.
