Just a bit of light entertainment question. But I was in the bathroom the other day and noticed the thing sat there- full of bottles of shampoo showergel, spare loo rolls etc! We don't really have them in the UK. So I was wondering if anyone here actually has taken the habit up of using them for their purpose? Or is yours sat gathering dust in the corners of your bathrooms too?

I had used them before moving here and yes I use it here the intended purpose more I can say for one of my little grandsons back in Scotland, he thought theirs was washing his toys in bless him

Absolutely. It is only hygienic to wash your feet daily

well that's what they are for isn't it???¿¿¿???

Thankfully, Google comes to the rescue for both of us:

I like the bit that says "While your first encounter with a bidet can be a little daunting..."

I prefer:

Be very careful when turning on the water, as many bidets can produce a very high jet of water with only a slight turn of the control

The consequences are just too horific to contemplate

What do you need a bidet for when you can stand on your head in the shower?

Karma sent for making me laugh.

That link is a load of bidet, waterboard regulations banned jetted bidets long ago, for the fear of unclean water being drawn into the system in the bidet if somebody turned a tap on in the bathroom on the floor below, maybe to clean their teeth. yuk.

I put my towels on the lid when taking a shower and OH soaks his sweaty bum in it!

You got a posh one with a lid. lol

In Asia/Australia they have what are known to expats are "bum guns" that do a much better/effective job!

Bidets are poor in comparison when it comes to hygiene!

Yep we have a lid on ours!

Bet you like that!
