... TP for your bunghole.

Omg I am so juvenile...I busted out laughing and started doing Beavis and Butthead lines.

I use my kids babywipes. Leaves me feeling nice and refreshed.. not to mention moisturized.

Hey I ran out of TP once and my grandsons baby wipes were the only things in reach, I really prefer them to TP but it's too expensive.

Not enamored with the idea. What if it malfunctions? And really, not a matter of if, but when.

Unstoppable anal geyser.

I don't like the "green" urinals I've been exposed to so far. Bathrooms that perpetually smell like piss. The air fresheners can't even cover it up.

Ok first let me say I've only used a bidet once and I had not even went no.2. That said, and yes I'm going to go there, what if you go no.2 and it's....oh god I can't believe I'm going to say this.....really "sticky"...../ashamed....how well does one work?? I'm sorry...I apologize...

Also, I used TP afterwards to dry myself so does it really do away with TP.


JUST SAY NO TO BIDETS!!

FYI, that was done for the lols. The JPs were a little irritated when it got such negative press from western outlets.

Re: Proof the Internet gets blamed for everything.

I've never seen access to turning off the water on a public toilet.

The washlet uses its own water line. I still highly doubt they get stuck in the 'on' position very often, if ever. It also requires power, and probably has some kind of emergency off switch too. It has sensors which insure it doesn't spray when there's no user present. A lot of things would have to go wrong simultaneously, and at worst you'd be mildly annoyed. Clearly better than the lot of things that can go wrong with toilet paper-- most obviously, finding yourself in a bathroom with none.

Japan also rents out pets

Which is fucking bizarre in the US, but rather sensible in a country which is very crowded and hard to keep a pet in.

hosts weddings for virtual girlfriends

Japanese gamer 'marries' Nintendo DS character - Telegraph -- Can you honestly tell me you wouldn't be able to find a priest and a group of geeks in the US who would watch a mock wedding to a video game? Just because Japan did it first doesn't make it any different.

Japan cannot be a precedent for every thing.

Japan does it should never be used as justification for anything.

Which isn't what I was saying. Let me be clear:

1- I don't give a fuck if Japan does it, if Sweden does it, or if Myanmar does it.
2- The fact that a technologically advanced country of 130 million people has used this technology for nearly twenty years now and it enjoys significant popularity in that country ought to be a sign that the technology isn't as prone to malfunctions as BBQ suggests.

It's a statistical argument. It could be any other fucking country, the point is, the technology has clearly proven itself.

Saying "The washlet is a bad idea because Japan also invented kitten huffing" is as stupid as saying "Microwaves are bad because Raytheon is a military contractor" or "You bought a VW? GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU FUCKING NAZI."

Depends on the person. Some people prefer using TP to dry; so it's not totally doing away with it, but is greatly reducing its use. Some people prefer to use the built in air dryers.

So that's the third sea shell! I never could figure it out before.

What about the dude who married his anime girl pillow?

Where I work we have automatic sinks. The kind you put your hands under and they turn on instantly. But there's always one that just shoots off randomly and stays on for way longer then it should. I can't imagine how annoying it would be to sit on a toilet that does that.

I likes me some TP, especially the nice thick soft stuff. Getting splash back from the toilet is bad enough and requires drying, so getting a watergun to the pooper is definitely out of the question for me. Besides, swamp ass is annoying.

Except making an automatic bidet is a fucking ridiculous idea. They're button controlled of course. Why would you even think they're automatic?

Getting splash back from the toilet is bad enough

This is also:

1- Very different way of moving water than a bidet (splash, compared to spray)
2- Generally, toilet bowls are filled with untreated tap water, which means they're freaking cold. At best, the water has been sitting long enough to warm to room temperature. Bidets generally provide water heated to be around body temperature (or a bit warmer or cooler, depending on your tastes)
3- Extremely unhygenic. This alone makes the feeling completely different.
4- I wouldn't be surprised if part of this being uncomfortable comes from the state your body is in after just defecating, not to mention not expecting it. A bidet works when you want it to.
