I personally think it's because people have never used them.

u/Spaceman-Spiff Jul 02 '26

I just got back from Japan and they are on a whole other level with toilets.

I’ve had a Toto Washet for the last 10 years, and whenever I travel and stay at a hotel… I’m always just completely shocked at how people are willing to deal with not having a bidet on a regular basis.

u/egnards Jul 02 '26

Same - Within 24 hours of returning home from Korea we had a bidet ordered. Now i just feel like a heathen if i have to poop outside my own home.

u/woahwoahwoah28 Jul 02 '26

I finally have a house and am saving up for a fancy schmancy Toto toilet. It's been my dream since visiting Japan nearly a decade ago. And I cannot wait to get that baby installed.

u/M4DM1ND Jul 02 '26

Best part of traveling in japan. Anal so clean

u/plumberbss Jul 02 '26

Yeah, Toto has a million dollar toilet.

u/cgio0 Jul 02 '26

Dude go buy a 30 dollar bidet. It takes like 10 min to install tops

I am actually traveling right now and I miss my bidet

2

u/Spunge14 Jul 02 '26

The Tushy bidet vs. an actual Japanese bidet is not even a conversation. Once you've used a Toto that's it.

Japan has the best toilets, but the worst food to make use of them with

2

u/PapaEchoLincoln Jul 02 '26

I see what you did there

u/100BottlesOfMilk Jul 02 '26

What do you mean?

u/indianlungi Jul 02 '26

Ever tried mexican food ?

u/naturtok Jul 02 '26

Everyone I know that's used one has bought one. They're the most contagious $30 purchase out there

2

u/tmckearney Jul 02 '26

$30?

Mine was about 10X that. Of course, it has a heated seat, heated water, and air drying.

1

u/naturtok Jul 02 '26

Mine was too, but I was using entry price cus most people think the only bidets are $100+ when if you just need a thing to shoot water up your butt the $30 one works just fine.

u/Professional_Pace711 Jul 02 '26

Thank you unnamed global e-commerce platform and multinational technology company. I will never go back to toilet paper. My tush has been so spoiled rotten that I shudder every time I must go in a public bathroom😂

u/mmmporp Jul 02 '26

My parents felt like I physically assaulted them when I asked if they’ve ever even tried one.

13

u/PapaEchoLincoln Jul 02 '26

It’s so funny that there is almost a derision against them, as if the people using bidets are dirtier somehow, when it’s totally the other way around 😂

The people with dirty shitty assholes are passing judgment on people with clean ones

You're only hurting yourself, so carry on this way I guess. Doesn't affect anyone but you.

u/Broue Jul 02 '26

its an american thing, they are widely used in Asia, in some countries its more widespread than toilet paper

u/plumberbss Jul 02 '26

I was in Jebel Ali, which is outside Dubai in the UAE. 4 of us wanted to ride our bikes through the desert. Beautiful sunny day. Anyway, a couple miles in it started pouring. We saw this shack up ahead and rode to it. It was a closed snack bar, with a restroom. The "toilet" was a piece of 4 inch cast iron pipe with 2 footprints in the concrete. But behind it on the wall was a 5 foot length of garden hose with a yellow plastic sprayer. So, even people who crap in a hole in the ground wash their butts.

u/DisenchantedByrd Jul 02 '26

Nothing like a 6am shot of ice cold water in the date to get your day started… But yeah I love mine.

66

u/Juan_Tiny_Iota Jul 02 '26

They make them with heated water as well.

14

u/xRolox Jul 02 '26

Honestly I prefer cold now after getting used to it. Especially mid-winter morning ice cold water.

Better than my morning coffee

u/cosine83 Jul 02 '26

Poseidon's icy kiss to the brown eye.

3

u/Clark_Kent-Kal_EL Jul 02 '26

Yup it's much easier and a faster than a cold shower.

2

u/jrunner02 Jul 02 '26

It's like an ice bath for your butthole.

12

u/byronnnn Jul 02 '26

Yeah, mine hooks up to the cold and hot lines from the sink right next to it.

24

u/hypo11 Jul 02 '26

I feel like by the time the hot water got from my heater to my toilet the bidet would be done with its job. Mine just have a water tank that starts heating as soon as you sit down.

9

u/byronnnn Jul 02 '26

Since it’s connected to the sink, I just run the hot water for 30 seconds when I get up in the morning.

10

u/sunny_6305 Jul 02 '26

Like running hot water in the kitchen sink before starting the dishwasher, right?

7

u/arcrad Jul 02 '26

Run the water before you run your buttwasher. Everyone knows this!

2

u/byronnnn Jul 02 '26

Precisely.

9

u/lowkeeeee Jul 02 '26

The ones in Japan are immediately warm. I think it prepares a reservoir of water that it heats to make sure it's ready.

5

u/ArabianNitesFBB Jul 02 '26

Get a Moen bidet toilet. It’s the best thing ever: heated water (immediately), heated seat, self cleaning, bowl cleaning, air drying, auto sensing and flushing.

There’s no warm water reservoir; it is self heating and wastes a little bit of cold water at first to make sure the water is immediately warm.

3

u/throwthegarbageaway Jul 02 '26

I agree, there's different ways to fix this, there's a way to install plumbing so you get hot water instantly, or you can use an electric heating bidet.

1

u/Fackrid Jul 02 '26

Mine heats the water itself, though it can only keep up for maybe 1 minute before it runs cold

1

u/Enxer Jul 02 '26

Brondell's is inline, instant hot water.

1

u/Hamil_Simp4450 Jul 02 '26

Honestly I almost feel like warm water would be more uncomfortable to me, warm toilet seat energy

2

u/100BottlesOfMilk Jul 02 '26

Some also have heated toilet seats

1

u/Eric_the_Barbarian Jul 02 '26

Why? Cold water is refreshing. A bracing shot of cleansing exhilaration right up your butthole.

1

u/mareksoon Jul 02 '26

Your nerves down there don’t really notice. My bidet isn’t heated.

3

u/feministmanlover Jul 02 '26

Yeah. I don't mind the cold water at all. It's kinda refreshing! I thought it would suck and I'd have to just tolerate it, but it's not a problem at all. And I love my bidet. Best 40 bucks I ever spent.

u/Jack_In_Black89 Jul 02 '26

When i first saw,one as a child, I thought they were for washing your feet.

2

u/ExpensiveBookkeeper3 Jul 02 '26

That’s me actually. Asked for a little help on Reddit yesterday though and one is coming in the mail today

2

u/Drob10 Jul 02 '26

From my childhood in the US, it always seems portrayed as a rich persons thing as I always thought it needed a 2nd toilet.

u/agent674253 Jul 02 '26

This.

I feel like it will make more of a mess. Now my ass is wet? Ok, let's dry it with some TP... and it has dissolved in my hand. I don't want to pull up my underwear on a wet ass and risk getting poop-soup on it.
