I had the urge while out the other day and had to wipe, like a peasant. Bidets should be a right in the kingdom.

Get a little portable bidet. They're not ideal, but it sure beats the awful toilet paper in public bathrooms.

Wait, those exist? I might have to look into it, because I can't install a normal bidet in my apartment (horrible Soviet era piping all over the place)

Are you saying the water supply to the tank is non standard? That's the only piece you need to interact with. I've yet to see a non standard one

What is that ref at the end of the link?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

LMAO - I haven't seen anyone do that before. Everything after the ? is for site tracking info, so you can remove it. There was a post about it sometime in the last couple weeks that gave examples and where to chop it off to not offer more tracking info.

I believe there is/was an extension that automatically changed the tracking parameters to that. Maybe it's that.

Tried finding it but I was unable to, maybe ask comment OP?

They're basically a squishy water bottle... Not ideal but might be worth a try?

After the birth of my first child I ended up with a hemorrhoid. Truth be told, I was scared shitless to touch anything down there for a couple days after the trauma. They had given me a squishy bottle to rinse myself while everything recovered. Warm water from the tap was heavenly lol.

Just run a hose and connect one of these.

My $35 bidet is awesome and just diverts water from the tank. It took less than 10 minutes to install: remove seat, place bidet, replace seat, unscrew tank water supply, screw in water splitting hose. You don’t even need to turn off the water, that’s how easy it is. It’s great for renters, too, because you’re not actually making any modifications, and it’s easy to remove with no trace.

Mine’s a Luxe, but there are several like it in the same price range.

They are the right and norm in Japan.

Tons of places do not have bidets. Hell, numerous places here still have squat toilets. I guess they are common in many tourist spots and stations in bigger cities. I have some occasional digestive issues and tend to know where toilets with washlets are in places I frequent.
