If you ever go to Paris, don't do it during the summertime. The whole city will stink of festering sewage. Public urination is still all the rage there. . So much so, that certain areas and businesses have set up automated, motion sensitive sprinkler systems, around their perimetres... Ideally to sprinkle the would-be tinklers, and to rinse the piss off of the exterior walls. I was in Paris during the summer and saw none of that. What you describe, does remind me of the Boston subway system however.

Recent surveys have indicated that as many as 50 percent of homes in Japan have a high tech bidet, either a standalone unit or an attachable unit (connects to a regular toilet) depending on the size of the household. The rest of the world is definitely going to take some time to catch up, but before long the number of people adopting this type of technology is going to grow significantly. This is largely due to the number of benefits that attachable bidet toilet seats provide to their users, including health benefits and hygiene benefits along with simple ease of use.

Can't a person just raise the toilet seat, plunk your butt down into the water, and flush? The swirling action should do a fine job. Not everything has to be so complicated..does it? Agree!...Straddle, squat, try not to lose your balance when the water gooses you, hope nothing was missed, shake well, air dry...Jeeeezeeee!!! ,,,, the only thing that could possibly make this process more difficult and time consuming would be constipation... "Gooses you" lol "lose your balance" splittails maybe..I have a rudder or stabilizer..thats always a nasty feeling...its like stickin' it in a bucket of $hitty cold water..erm I mean thats exactly what it is. When it comes to toilets; "Buy 'American'"! American Standard, Crane Canada or nothing. Not into putting down the stabilizer or beachin'a rudder on the banks,also other brands clog a lot easier.

Washing is more efficient than tissue-wiping to clean up. In the Philippines and South Asia, they use a jug of water, filled in a barrel or from the tap. The user rises up slightly from the toilet seat and pours water towards the back where the space between the butt cheeks is. This system is difficult for lifelong wipers to accept, but it does remove all traces of waste and associated bacteria, so should not be criticized. The bidet shower spray. It is a handheld water shower that connects to the water inlet valve for the toilet via a T-connection. Room temperature water is sprayed on the anus after the business is done. If you have a sprayer adjacent to the toilet, the water will not be a cold shock. Bidets provide important health benefits such as increased cleanliness and the therapeutic effect of water on damaged skin (rashes, tears or hemorrhoids).

This works just fine. Dishwashing soap with a splash of vinegar. Your bum will sparkle and squeek.

There is no need to get bummed out because bidets aren't used in the USA.

Actually, the water released from a Japanese "washlet" is warm, and you can adjust the pressure with the push of a button. So if you only wanted enough pressure to help with cleaning a certain area, no problem. The toilet seat is also heated. I really think if these toilets were marketed in North America, they would become popular. The only problems are the cost and installation.

We have nothing to say about it! which is true! we are more in using tisue which is not advisable. Maybe someday we will do the same
