I've always wondered, why aren't Bidet Showers(aka the bum gun) more popular in the west? Should be a far more cheaper and similarly hygienic option no?
It's only a pain in the ass if you set it to powerwash.
They're great cause you can aim from multiple angles, though I hear toilet bowls in the US fill with water way higher so getting it down there and not touching the turd water might be a problem.
Do you mean bidet toilet attachments? Seat adapters only shows seat cushions and children's seat adapters. Bidet attachment's a really good investment, a cheap way to get the Japanese comfort and hygiene. Sadly didn't see anything of the sort in NY & NJ.
I don't have too much experience with this style, so this is probably completely unfair... but I lived with a guy for a bit who brought his own portable version that hooks up to the sink... and dude would constantly leave water everywhere no matter what we'd tell him. So I def prefer the in-seat style based on my lack of trust for the humans using them.
As someone who has used both the bidet shower and the in-seat style, you're right. The bumgun tends to be more messy. Your hand will also tend to get wet, but not necessarily because of splashback.
I've used that as a kid and I always wished public bathrooms had them asw.
Are you kidding?? I would never use a public bidet. Even the thought of one is appalling. I feel like people that love a bidet don't understand how bacteria work.
True. In thay case I'd carry a portable one
Our bathrooms aren't set up for that in the US at least. The floor is often wood or fake vinyl wood. The only part of the bathroom that is waterproof is the shower/bath.
