Installing a bidet at home was life changing but unfortunately it's transformed pooping on company time from a small proletarian victory into yet another grueling humiliation of inadequate working conditions.

I've used many a bidet, and I had one installed before eventually removing it.

Isn't it kind of gross to have shit-spackled water being sprayed around a larger area of your undercarriage? I enjoy a nice bidet, but it just kind of seemed gross to me. You wipe clean, then whatever fecal matter and microbes are left then get sprayed onto your taint? That doesn't really help things much.

Do what I do: only poop in nearby businesses so you never pollute your toilet, and then immediately come home and take a shower.

The nozzle needs to be constantly sanitized, or you're basically just letting shitty water be sprayed on you. Studies have shown that regular use of a bidet disrupts healthy vaginal microflora.

Pregnant women should especially not use a bidet.

Even a constantly (every use) sanitized bidet is generally less sanitary than proper wiping. Using a spray of water to handle fecal material is very obviously suboptimal. I feel like it's absurd that people need to be told this. You might "feel" cleaner, but you just allowed bacteria a vehicle to spread over a larger area of your body.

I'm being downvoted for pointing out that numerous studies have shown that the bidet is not the hygienic dream you all hoped it was?

You all are some weird people with more funk downstairs than I want to think about.

Directly from the NIH: "Kim et al. conducted a study of high-risk pregnant women with preterm labor and reported that the use of a bidet toilet was associated with abnormal vaginal colonization and increased the rate of preterm labor in high-risk pregnancies."

I assume you all are also anti-vax because of the 5G?

It sounds like you think bidets use water from the toilet bowl, so it's shooting dirty water at you.

That isn't how they work. 🤦‍♂️

I think they mean it's spreading fecal matter all around from the butthole outward, not spraying with poop water. I'm a guy. I find it ricochets, hitting the backside of my scrotum at times. I figure if you let it go long enough, it's bound to wash the particles off, but can you be sure?
