Or you know, wash with water AND soap. I wash with a bidet and use liquid soap along with it. That’s no different than washing in the shower.

Do they make extra fancy soapy bidets?

I mean, i haven't actually been to Japan myself, but I've heard some things...

I haven't ever seen one there, but it's pretty likely.

Do you literally never use the restroom in public spaces or something? Or is this just a special treat when you’re at home?

That’s for at home. But to answer your other question, I do carry a small 50ml squeeze bottle of liquid soap in my bag, like those keychain hand sanitizers. Obviously it’s not always useful if the public toilet doesn’t have a bidet in the first place, so I also have wet wipes in my bag for a cleaner feeling at least until I can get home and wash properly.

And to answer your one other question, yes portable bidets exist. I have one and bring it with me when I travel so I can still wash if my hotel doesn't have one.

You do know portable bidets exist, right?

[–] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not lol

Either way, people carry around bidets and soap everywhere they go? Not judging just super surprised.

No to the soap, but the little battery powered bidet I have is awesome. Comes in really handy… everywhere that isn’t home.
