This is how we usually carry out the "whole process" here in Lombardy: you go "number two", then you use toilet paper to wipe, then you use a bidet to wash your rear (and front, if you want) with water and mild soap. In the end, you use your butt towel to rinse. The towel doesn't get dirty at all since you are most definitely clean at that point. You have a bidet in your house's restroom and you often can find one in your hotel room's restroom. You won't find any bidet in public restrooms. You don't use a bidet when you are in someone else's house, bc you wouldn't have a butt towel at your disposal, unless your host gives you one but that would usually happen if you are staying there for a few days, at least. I Hope this clears a few doubts some people had in these comments 😉
Excellent response! Thanks for clarifying for those of us who are ignorant in such matters. If the household has several family members, does everyone have their own towel, or is one towel used, like a hand towel?
@@WhileAwayWithUs Usually everyone has its own "bidet towel". In Italy, since 1975, is mandatory to have at least 1 bidet in one of the restrooms of the house. The standalone bidet can also used for warm baths can help soothe the irritation from hemorrhoids or other problems.
Finally someone actually demonstrates how to use the bidet. Every video I watched so far the people just talk and SHOW the buttons, but they don’t press the buttons. It just leaves me with more questions. THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Thanks for your comment and watching the video. When we arrived in Europe, we had no idea how to use one. We never wanted to ask anyone, lest they think us backwards. LOL. The use of the bidet for a place to shave legs, came from necessity. Our shower stalls were too small to bend over to do it. So I improvised and used the bidet! :)
Is Russia like the USA in that bidets are not common in homes? We just installed an all in one in our apartment and will post a review video soon. Spoiler, I do not like it as much as I do the stand alone. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
In the U.S. here, after watching this video, with your good explanation, I bought the type that attaches to my toilet. It was simple to install. Cold water only but I think it will be ok even in the winter. But what I did for a towel is I bought a pack of 18 wash clothes and I use those for drying my behind. The water does such a good job that the towel is just for drying off. I toss the towel, that is the wash cloth, in a small basket beside the toilet and use a new one each time. Wash them all at one time. I don't have room for a free standing one like in the video. Wish a did. But the one I have seems to be fine. I've been using it about 6 weeks.
Girl I loved your video explanation on the uses of a bidet and the little extras that go with it! I appreciated your tactful and clear explanations. The little bit of humor was just great so thanks for making something so sensitive easy.
You've answered all my questions Thank you😉. You have such a great personality, other videos I came across made me cringe at times. The way you did it was on point so natural and funny🤭too, kept me watching until the end.
I've watched many bidet tutorials and yours is by far the best. I love your clear explanation and humour which is helpful especially for those that might be unfamiliar and therefore tentative about trying out European habits. FYI: I'm from the UK [we don't typically use them here] and only started using bidets once I travelled around continental Europe. It does take a while to adjust to it however you'll never go back to solely using toilet paper once you have. - Subscribed!
Thank you for your kindly and informative bidet video. I'm used to using a lota and separate butt washcloths as towels. (that is, after I wash thoroughly, I dry off the clean water with a little washcloth, so I can toss it into the laundry and use a new towel/washcloth daily) The bidet has proved invaluable for helping my 87 yr old mom clean and fresh. Yes, role reversal has set in now.❤
I've a very personal question but now is the perfect time to ask it. I'm in my 70s and mobility issues are mounting, along with a couple scary falls. I have nobody to help me shower and I am strongly considering the use of a bidet. I'm looking for lessons ahead of time in choosing the style and my trailer won't accommodate anything other than the integrated system... which kind is your mother's use? In addition bless you for caring for her..I know that it's far from an easy "job" once we age. I've been resisting the nursing home with a passion!
We are building our retirement home and I am trying to decide between a separate bidet and a bidet toilet. You gave me a lot of information to think about! And you made an uncomfortable topic, both comfortable and humorous! Thanks!
Thank you for your kind comment! Being novices to bidets ourselves, we have decided that if we had the choice we would definitely go with the separate bidet. :)
Specific Bibet separated from the toilet all the way! The bidet has two main uses 1) washing your asshole after poop 2) washing your genitals after sex (in this case sitting facing the bidet)
You have no idea how much I needed this lesson!!! Too chicken to try it on previous trips, but now with a holiday home purchased in Italy.....IT'S TIME!!!! Thank you. xx
Bidet is one way trip Specific Bibet separated from the toilet all the way! The bidet has two main uses 1) washing your asshole after poop 2) washing your genitals after sex (in this case sitting facing the bidet)
Yes... when I bought my house..I had NO idea how to use it. Well, I figured it out and now.... it's the most thorough, economic, and environmentally sound way to go.
I love the additional uses you found for the separate bidet. Great to see the subject addressed and the American public taught a little bit more about hygene.
Love bidet. Used it on hols in Italy. Brilliant. Going to put one into my bathroom here in the UK. It's so practical and hygienic. A young girl said the other day that she finds it disgusting using a bidet..lol.
It is funny to me that so many Americans think bidets (and using them) are nasty and Italians think you are nasty if you don’t use one after toileting. Thanks for watching!
@WhileAwayWithUs indeed. I would never choose to only use tp. I must at least have wet wipes. If they used a wet wipe after only using tp they would realize their mistake!
I live in the U.S.A and I have an all into one. It is the best thing since slice bread. I also wish I had gotten mine years ago. You also gave me some more ideas, thank you very much.
Thank you so much for this great explanation video! We have a family member with limitations who needs some help getting all the way clean. I started wondering if a bidet might help them be independent but I wasn’t fully sure if it would work in this situation and all other videos weren’t really showing me. Your video makes me confident that it would work, so thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your comment! We had not even thought about the extra assistance a bidet could give some folks with extra needs or mobility limitations. You just expanded our appreciation of the bidet even more! :) Thanks for watching our video!
Thank you for the comments! It is perfect for that time of month. And hemorrhoids too. But be warned, once you try it it will be hard to survive without one!
As some one who comes from a country where we don't mince words it's adorable to see people from other countries talking around specific words :D Like private parts or behinds xD I would just say "wash your vulva", or "wash between your butt cheeks" :D It's so cute :D But you know what they say "Different countries, different customs" :) I appreaciate that you actually show the people how to properly sit on a bidet and also show some other uses which you can use a bidet for! :) My parents got themselves a bidet after they were in Mallorca for vacation and when my sister and me where little we just used it as a normal sink to wash our hands (because of the nice low size) and when we had cystitis my mom would use the bidet to make us a camomille infused sitz-bath/ hip-bath and this really helped! A bidet is just great and I really wish more people would know about it and use it because the prejudice that it's "gross" or "unclean" to wash yourself with a bidet (which is actually the opposite from what it is) is still out there a lot :(
Americans are taught not to talk about our private intimate areas in that manner because it is considered sexual or crude and youtube doesn't like that kind of language(demonetized if you do). So that's why we talk in circles about it. In America it is not proper or polite to refer to your private area that way, especially around family or strangers. With friends, it depends on your relationship and how comfortable you are with each other.
Great job of explaining the bidet, very brave also. We have fitted a spray bidet fitting to use while on the toilet. We did it as an insurance against the toilet paper shortage bought on by Covid-19. It is better to do it before it is needed as they may be in short supply when the time comes to NEEDING IT. I think it is a far better method than having to resort to rags, buckets and smells when we can't buy toilet paper. Far more hygienic for us, especially women. Where we live TP has been unavailable since our basic lockdown laws came into force. Like you, I like using it for both cleanliness as well medically reasons. Living in the tropics, we only have it installed to cold water. I think if we had four seasons, we would install a deluxe toilet seat bidet.
THANK YOU! for this thorough video. I met my first bidet in the '80s and have run from them since. Now I realize that the fault was in the explanation of use and the the concept of the bidet. I would rather not interact with a public bidet but a personalized one seems a lot more appealing.
I see why they prefer to cheek kiss instead of hand shake cos it makes sense. People may not have soap or even wash their hands properly. Wooow... long fake nails hmmmm
Thank you! The best video explanation on how to use a European bidet! No longer intimidated using one. I did install a Japanese bidet to my toilet a couple years ago...automatic controls and a dryer too!
Thanks for watching! We just installed an add on bidet with warm water and a dryer but I still prefer the stand alone model. Maybe someday, but until then my current model will have to do.
Eastern Europe often has plumbing issues. Toilet paper is relatively new to these areas and often you have to put your paper in a separate receptacle. Bidets are used to clean in the absence of (or complimenting) toilet paper. In mens public washrooms like Dubai, Kuwait and Turkey, and sometimes Thailand and China there are eastern toilets (holes in the floor with foot rests) and regular western toilets. But each type has a sprayer similar to a kitchen hose sprayer and you use it to wash the backend and the front each time. Either way a great addition to any home.
@@WhileAwayWithUs No problem i liked your demeanor and explanation and everything. I'm trying to convince a friend a bidet is life-changing but she doubts it.
clivebuckwheat I don’t know why we are so scared of a bidet. I mean I know I was intimidated by it and it took too long before I would even try. And I regret I waited. Trying it was life changing.
Thank you, finally an explanation. I figure it was for that purpose but never had a visual on exactly to use. Funny story on a trip to Mexico, our two year old thought it was a mini sink to wash her hands. Unfortunately when she turn the water on, the nozzle was pointed upward and splash her right onto her face. It was hilarious 🤣.
Thank you for explaining this! We are moving to Portugal and I keep seeing these in the rentals. I was wondering how to use it and wondered if people usr toilet paper over there! Thank you for this!!
The video I saw said it was not a butt towel. It is there to dry your hand on. Here is what it said "You may notice a towel hanging within arm’s reach of your bidet. Be forewarned that this is for drying off your hands, never your rear." The one thing the site didn't go into was how to dry yourself after using the bidet. Edit: I just watched a video that says to use toilet paper to pat yourself dry. That makes sense to me
in the US i have seen the built in bidets on toilets. but now at our guest house in italy we have a true bidet and it honestly makes me feel more comfortable/ hygienic with it being separate
You can still use toilet papers if you want and then move over to the bidet for the final rinse to clean any traces or smell that could still be there.
Omg I encountered the hand version of these when I was in Thailand, and can't live without it. Trying to get my family to use it now but you know, Americans who haven't traveled out of country lol
Europeans think we are dirty and gross for not using (and possibly Asians) and Americans think we are dirty and gross for using 😂🤣 We are a little uptight when it comes to cleaning our privates. Thanks for watching!
Very well done! As a nurse who knows the critical importance of keeping the Buttocks, Anus & Vagina structures of our bodies, this demonstration was exceptional. Kudos on providing info which for some reason, Americans talk about sex & other bizarre private acts, yet, talking about cleanliness in & near our rectum & genitals seems 😣 Uncomfortable? You did a superlative job here, so THANKS 🙏🏼. (As a nurse, dealing with cleanup of our body parts is natural for me; I know the importance of cleanliness & avoiding disease-so this was fantastic).
Thanks, it means a lot coming from a health professional! It is funny how a good portion of the comments on this video are repulsed by washing oneself 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks for the nice comment and for watching!
@@WhileAwayWithUs Yep! And if those ppl who were “repulsed” would just learn a thing or two FROM YOUR VIDEO, they’d get fewer infections in the genital & anal areas. Wanna bet? I’ll bet they watched because they’re having “trouble” with infected areas. So please take heart. You did a super thing for cleanliness & healthcare. Don’t let a negative Nancy deter the good education you provided in this video. A BIG 👍🏻
It's because of the demonized sexualization of/by religion and the shame/stigma around lower anatomy that we are not conditioned to talk about our private areas in scientific or hygienic terms.
@he_lives_in_apineapple_und9743 that and the idea of a bare hand coming into contact with even a tiny bit of poo is terrifying to some (like if you use the mild washing liquid and *gasp* actually touch your butt). They don't realize that their butts are just not clean if they only use TP.
You can install a toilet seat bidet or a handheld spray. The toilet seat bidet could be an attachment which is just the nozzle and control knob or a full toilet seat replacement.
Thanks for your comment and suggestion! We stayed at place where they had the converted toilet seat/bidet combo. It was great. Appreciate you watching our video. :)
I remember when Crocodile Dundee first saw a bidet, he figured out what it was for. "For washing your backside, right?" Didn't take him long to puzzle it out.
Thank you for your compliment and for watching! We purchased and installed an "add-on" bidet on our commode in the States. Check out our installation video ruclips.net/video/UI0opki5HUk/видео.html and our review of it, ruclips.net/video/RWsCqJha-IE/видео.html
I'm American and i want to get one but the mere thought of having to touch my ass with my bare hand while cleaning is the only thing keeping me from getting one :(
Thanks for the demo. My ancestry is European so a bidet is well known to me but I never used one since we didn't have one in our homes. Came to Canada as a kid and again it was not a thing to have unless specifically built in. I was discussing the cheap hose type that attaches to a toilet with someone and knew the cold water only would be an issue since my water is super cold year round. I will say that those without the use of a bidet should reconsider their brand of toilet paper first. That plushy soft stuff is not efficient at all and I buy the No Name brand and it does a perfect job. Some people might also think about those flushable wet wipes meant to also clean that area. I find the rougher toilet paper works the best for me. I also do my ahems in the morning and then have my shower and that keeps me fresh too. If you do have a bidet, then the idea of buying facecloths of a style that are used as a towel dab and then put in a diaper pail under the sink and thrown in with the weekly wash would work instead of reusing the larger hand towels. Good demo though.
Thanks for your comment. We got an "add-on" bidet and installed it on our toilet.We didn't get this particular model, but we saw some (you can purchase) that will heat the water.
@@WhileAwayWithUs I saw that they have some that can heat the water. It is funny how many North Americans think Europeans are so far behind in technologies and products. When living in and visiting Europe, you had to bring your own reusable bags for any grocery shopping, when VHS huge cassettes were used in North America, my relatives had tiny cassettes that would hold the same info and it slipped into side of TV, and now we are seeing the wider use of adopting a bidet!
@@islandgal500 Yes, Americans do think highly of ourselves. I guess being isolated by two oceans makes us myopic in our world view. I was glad that during our travels in Europe, that many of them just look at us and smile like a patient adult. LOL
Thanks! Very nice video. My poop tends to be sticky so I wondered how a bidet would work for me. No other video I have seen gets into the detail yours has done.
Ducati Dude Just think of the butt towel like you do your bath towel. Both dry clean body parts. Doesn’t your bath towel dry both your butt and fancy bits ? 🚽⛲️🧣😉
the stream of water that comes from the bidet should totally clean the surface of your rear, when you use the towel its just simply to dry your skin. there's nothing "left over" on the towel. I installed a bidet hand held sprayer on my toilet (which has the pressure of a garden hose spray gun attachment) during the whole covid toilet paper famine and have never gone back to toilet paper.
Jose Navarro _please leave a link of where to find that I’m tired of worrying about if Karen stole all the toilet paper this week and if I can get a new supply_
@@WhileAwayWithUs Shit smells and is disgusting. Why would anyone want a towel full of shit hanging in your bathroom? Having some skin cells and a little bit dirt on a used towel iin your home isnt as unhygienic as having a towel full of fecal bacteria and shit stains in your home. I would rather use toilet paper
@@zillertalernazihass We use toilet paper first, the the bidet to get squeaky clean. Just as when I wash my hands, i don't leave stains on my hand towels, the same applies to the butt towel. However, we do us paper towels afterwards instead of a towel with the bidet.
I have had a bidet twice in my resort room in Cuba. I thought it was for the front part. You really did a good tutorial. I think that I would prefer to wipe first and then use the bidet. It is a hard thing for me to wrap around my head with the behind thing. I can see myself using it for the front. Wow, that towel should not be there is guests use that bathroom.
hello just a clarification, I'm Italian and I must say that your video was the only correct one on the web hahaha, thanks, you have perfectly explained all the correct uses of the bidet, I would just like to make a clarification, we ALWAYS use toilet paper to clean afterwards having used it in the bathroom, and only afterwards if we want we can increase the cleanliness with the use of the bidet. another clarification, the towel is disposable, once used it is right to remove it and have it washed, it is not good to hang it up. Thank you
HI! and thanks for your feedback. Actually our video was made without consultation from any local "experts" LOL. (We probably should have asked) Your added information is very helpful. Thanks for watching our video. :)
This video was really entertaining just because of how fun your personality was in it haha. I don't even care much about bidets but you might have sold me on it.
I have only used the Japanese toilet seat bidet thing, but I agree that a bidet can be so useful especially for that time of the month for people who have periods or for anyone that just want their buttocks extra clean like mentioned in this video. I don’t mind doing this but for now I have to get my bathtub going and wash there because I have no bidet. Thank you for educating me on how to use a bidet ^o^ I never knew it was so multi purpose!
@@WhileAwayWithUs I have not used a traditional bidet, although I have stayed in hotel rooms with them. I have not used a bidet toilet seat either. But, I am looking forward to it.
I remodeled my bathroom installed GFCI protected outlet for the electric seat bidet that American Standard sells . Cost effective for me . My house has 1 bathroom . So I have AS elongated toilet and buy a Bidet seat that fits . Thanks for sharing!!
Bidets are for rinsing our private parts after every elimination. Some have two sprayers. They are not only more sanitary than toilet paper, but eliminate the need for it completely. As a side note, one actually feels cleaner (because they really are) as well. There existed several kinds and in price ranges all over the place! I have a travel size that works just fine. Others can be installed into existing toilets 🚽 or entire toilets that have bidets built into them (with lots of bells & whistles, too). My little hand held one ☝🏼 (purchased on Amazon) cost under $15 (I think it might have been maybe $13 and change) consists of a flexible rubber container and lid that’s bent at the edge with holes on the end to be used as the sprayer. I run water before I squat so it’s warm by the time I’ve finished. (I like mine warmed a bit but not necessary for effectiveness). I use liquid soap and squirt a tiny amount into it then...while still on the Toilet , filler it up. Put the cap on and slip it behind me and then in front for to squish the water on my parts . You can determine if you want a like spray or heavier water pressure simply by squishing the flexing the water holder more or less. After this, I like to fill it up again to rinse. Same thing. It FEELS wonderful. One only needs 1. 2 sections of toilet paper to dry the area (which is perfectly clean by now) or 2. A small cloth to blot it dry. Boom. Done. Fresher than ever , cleaner than swiping (and smearing) whatever was eliminated and you’ll FEEL fresh too. It’s a whole other world. ✅👌🏼 oh, one ☝🏼 more thing: give it a week, to get used to how to maneuver the portable thing, how and where to use it, the right amount of pressure for your areas and just the process. After that you’ll never go without.
@@WhileAwayWithUs I'm a little late to the party, but I think I can help with some product info for the handheld squeeze- bottle type of portable rinse item which Ziggy is talking about. I bought it on amazon during the toilet paper shortage. Brand name "Frida Mom". Apparently it is targeted at women (xx) who have just recently given birth, or have had a C-section, and might be having some tenderness in that area and want to feel good & clean. I don't have the product number, but I think you can find it easily because of the rather unique name. Also, when I got the Frida Mom, I got a bundle of microfiber wash-cloth size towels. I can't remember how many were in the bundle, maybe 2 dozen, so you can cycle them through the wash and still have clean ones in the bathroom. Brand Name: Siga. They're about 12" x 12", very handy. And believe me, you haven't patted dry 'til you've patted dry with microfiber!! Plus, different colors for different family members. 🙂 Many thanks for your informative video. Obviously there are many of us who didn't know how to use one. We are all pros now, thanks to your wonderful video!
I had a bidet at my hotel in Spain, they left dome towels and a soap, I couldn't understand how to properly use it without making a mess on the bathroom floor... Now I know, thanks!
@@carrolineselekedi510 Lol :) Thanks for commenting and watching our video. We only stayed with one family who had a bidet. They were a retired couple who had his/her bathrooms in their house. We had access to the man's bathroom, hers was part of their bedroom. The man had his own bidet (therefore his own towel). We, personally, keep paper towels on the back of the commode, and avoid having to worry about a towel altogether. I must admit, that while traveling we used just one towel between us.
Thanks for your comment and watching our video. What kind of aftermarket version do you have? We got a VEKEN, dual purpose, (but not heated water) version. It's ok (see our review of it on our channel) but we prefer the stand alone bidets.
As far as everyone using the same towel, I honestly do not know. And yes, before I myself started using bidets I thought the bidet and "butt towels were weird and gross. We just aren't use to it. The Spanish and Italian's grow up with it, it's part of their culture. Now that I've grown fond of the bidet I miss it and feel unclean without it. I find myself taking too many showers, and it is much more a big process to undress, wash, dry off, redress.
Hello! No we have a personal towel, of course! And we clean the bidet after we have used it. And when you go to other people's house you don't use the bidet
@@birdie.b Me too when I don't have a bidet but they are bad for sewer system. But I have to say it is just not the same, I just don't feel as fresh...But we do what we have to to feel clean ;-)
You are welcome. Thanks for watching and commenting on the video. We are both amazed that a cruise ship has a bidet. Can you let us know what cruise line it is? Is it on all their ships or just that one?
@@WhileAwayWithUs No we are going on the Royal Caribbean. We will sail on the Adventure of the Seas. When you upgrade to a Suite (Owner's Suite) it comes with one. We are going on a family cruise.
When I first heard the word “bidet” I remember asking a older friend of mine what it was. He told me it was what women used to wash their monkey. I had to think about that concept for a while. But since then when I see something like this, it’s the first thing that pops up in my memory. Lol. Im not sure that one of these is for me but the idea is pretty sound and it’s one of those topics that you have to address carefully so that you don’t come across as twisted.
Now you’ve added “washing your monkey” to my bidet association 😂 It is something you have to try and get comfortable with before making a decision. Thanks for watching!

too chicken to try? did you think it would make your butt fly across the room?
We never get too old to learn. I'm 81 years old and I plan to buy one very soon. Great video and thank you so much.
You are so right! We are never too old to learn! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
The best description of a bidet that I have found. Someone that describes how it is actually used. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Bidet is one way trip
Specific Bibet separated from the toilet all the way!
The bidet has two main uses
1) washing your asshole after poop
2) washing your genitals after sex (in this case sitting facing the bidet)
Well done! ☺️ You answered all the questions I had, and I also appreciate your warm personality and sense of humour! 💕
Tammy O'Brien Thanks for your kind comment and for watching!
You know how she struggles to say something inconvenient is funnny😂
LOL, thanks for watching.
Yes....she is adorbs 😊
Yes... when I bought my house..I had NO idea how to use it. Well, I figured it out and now.... it's the most thorough, economic, and environmentally sound way to go.
Arthur Breaux Can’t wait time have one installed now that we are back in the US. I really miss it :(
We are interested in getting a bidet and had some questions. You did a great job answering them for us. Thank you!
bruced625 Thank you!
I love the additional uses you found for the separate bidet. Great to see the subject addressed and the American public taught a little bit more about hygene.
Thanks for watching our video and commenting! Once you discover the difference a bidet can make in your life it is hard to be without one ;-)
Your bidet video is the best by far i got a better understanding of how it works
Thank you for watching and your comments!
I'm sorry, I was laughing so hard at the hot day/pick me up comment I missed the end of the video. Good job.
I recently rewatched this and it cracked me up! Thanks for watching!
Love bidet. Used it on hols in Italy. Brilliant. Going to put one into my bathroom here in the UK. It's so practical and hygienic. A young girl said the other day that she finds it disgusting using a bidet..lol.
It is funny to me that so many Americans think bidets (and using them) are nasty and Italians think you are nasty if you don’t use one after toileting. Thanks for watching!
@WhileAwayWithUs indeed. I would never choose to only use tp. I must at least have wet wipes. If they used a wet wipe after only using tp they would realize their mistake!
I live in the U.S.A and I have an all into one. It is the best thing since slice bread. I also wish I had gotten mine years ago. You also gave me some more ideas, thank you very much.
I didn't know about the use of mild soap after or the butt towel, so thank you for going through the whole process. I want a bidet now!
I’m glad to pass on some info. I highly recommend a bidet!
Certainly, the most sincere and fun explanation of how to use the bidet, 👏👏👏thank you
Thank you for your kind comment and for watching!
Thank you so much for this great explanation video! We have a family member with limitations who needs some help getting all the way clean. I started wondering if a bidet might help them be independent but I wasn’t fully sure if it would work in this situation and all other videos weren’t really showing me. Your video makes me confident that it would work, so thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your comment! We had not even thought about the extra assistance a bidet could give some folks with extra needs or mobility limitations. You just expanded our appreciation of the bidet even more! :)
Thanks for watching our video!
Thank you for putting yourself out there to do this public service! You are appreciated!⚘
Thanks for watching the video and the nice compliment! :)
Thank you so much for being so informative,other videos had me scratching my head lol I think this would be fabulous for that time of the month too!❤
Thank you for the comments! It is perfect for that time of month. And hemorrhoids too. But be warned, once you try it it will be hard to survive without one!
I'm an Italian woman and I can assure you that the bidet is a life-saver during that part of the month.
Thanks for the lesson. Thinking of putting one in for my elderly Aunt. I'm in the U.S and have never seen one or know how to use it. Again...thanks.
We highly recommend a bidet. Thanks for watching!
As some one who comes from a country where we don't mince words it's adorable to see people from other countries talking around specific words :D
Like private parts or behinds xD I would just say "wash your vulva", or "wash between your butt cheeks" :D It's so cute :D
But you know what they say "Different countries, different customs" :)
I appreaciate that you actually show the people how to properly sit on a bidet and also show some other uses which you can use a bidet for! :)
My parents got themselves a bidet after they were in Mallorca for vacation and when my sister and me where little we just used it as a normal sink to wash our hands (because of the nice low size) and when we had cystitis my mom would use the bidet to make us a camomille infused sitz-bath/ hip-bath and this really helped! A bidet is just great and I really wish more people would know about it and use it because the prejudice that it's "gross" or "unclean" to wash yourself with a bidet (which is actually the opposite from what it is) is still out there a lot :(
Americans are taught not to talk about our private intimate areas in that manner because it is considered sexual or crude and youtube doesn't like that kind of language(demonetized if you do). So that's why we talk in circles about it. In America it is not proper or polite to refer to your private area that way, especially around family or strangers. With friends, it depends on your relationship and how comfortable you are with each other.
You are the only one who really shows how to do it!
Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Great job of explaining the bidet, very brave also. We have fitted a spray bidet fitting to use while on the toilet. We did it as an insurance against the toilet paper shortage bought on by Covid-19. It is better to do it before it is needed as they may be in short supply when the time comes to NEEDING IT.
I think it is a far better method than having to resort to rags, buckets and smells when we can't buy toilet paper. Far more hygienic for us, especially women. Where we live TP has been unavailable since our basic lockdown laws came into force.
Like you, I like using it for both cleanliness as well medically reasons. Living in the tropics, we only have it installed to cold water. I think if we had four seasons, we would install a deluxe toilet seat bidet.
Lyn R Thank you and thanks for watching!
Been talking about this and wanting one for years and serendipitously your video pops up. Love your tutorial. Thank you!
This would be a great SNL skit. Lovely explanation 👌
LOL, thanks for the comment. Can't argue with you about that! Thanks for watching.
THANK YOU! for this thorough video. I met my first bidet in the '80s and have run from them since. Now I realize that the fault was in the explanation of use and the the concept of the bidet. I would rather not interact with a public bidet but a personalized one seems a lot more appealing.
I always wondered how that worked! Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
I see why they prefer to cheek kiss instead of hand shake cos it makes sense. People may not have soap or even wash their hands properly. Wooow... long fake nails hmmmm
@@Kay-dt5gn 😂🤣Thanks for watching!
she seems genuinely soo sweet 🧡🧡 i loved this video of her explaining how to use the bidet. she did an amazing job! 😄
Thanks for watching and for your kind comment!
Ah these standalone units seem more useful than I thought
Wish I had room for one in my apartment, the all in one model we installed is not as good. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! The best video explanation on how to use a European bidet! No longer intimidated using one. I did install a Japanese bidet to my toilet a couple years ago...automatic controls and a dryer too!
Thanks for watching! We just installed an add on bidet with warm water and a dryer but I still prefer the stand alone model. Maybe someday, but until then my current model will have to do.
I never thought about sitting the other way around even though I've been using a bidet my entire life haha
Not sure if it is meant to be used that way, but it made sense and worked well for me. Thanks for watching!
Eastern Europe often has plumbing issues. Toilet paper is relatively new to these areas and often you have to put your paper in a separate receptacle. Bidets are used to clean in the absence of (or complimenting) toilet paper. In mens public washrooms like Dubai, Kuwait and Turkey, and sometimes Thailand and China there are eastern toilets (holes in the floor with foot rests) and regular western toilets. But each type has a sprayer similar to a kitchen hose sprayer and you use it to wash the backend and the front each time. Either way a great addition to any home.
Great feedback! We plan to visit Turkey in 2021 and hope to try the eastern toilets. Thanks for watching!
I like this women. She is into real life talk and solving life's problems we all ask.
Thank you!
@@WhileAwayWithUs No problem i liked your demeanor and explanation and everything. I'm trying to convince a friend a bidet is life-changing but she doubts it.
clivebuckwheat I don’t know why we are so scared of a bidet. I mean I know I was intimidated by it and it took too long before I would even try. And I regret I waited. Trying it was life changing.
@@WhileAwayWithUs That's what i told my friend, a pristine butthole is the telltale sign of a true champion in life.
clivebuckwheat I love it 😂
Thank you for posting this video. I saw these things when I traveled but I had no idea what they were.
You're Welcome :) Thanks for watching the video. Like you we had very little idea of what to do or expect until we had traveled a bit.
“Extra pick-me-up.” LOL. You’ll get no judgment from me. ;)
😉 Thanks for watching!
Thank you, finally an explanation. I figure it was for that purpose but never had a visual on exactly to use. Funny story on a trip to Mexico, our two year old thought it was a mini sink to wash her hands. Unfortunately when she turn the water on, the nozzle was pointed upward and splash her right onto her face. It was hilarious 🤣.
Thank you for your comment and for watching! Don’t you wish you had captured that priceless moment 😂🤣
Thank you for explaining this! We are moving to Portugal and I keep seeing these in the rentals. I was wondering how to use it and wondered if people usr toilet paper over there! Thank you for this!!
Thank you for your kind comment and for watching! Good luck on your move to Portugal. We plan to visit in June next year.
The video I saw said it was not a butt towel. It is there to dry your hand on. Here is what it said "You may notice a towel hanging within arm’s reach of your bidet. Be forewarned that this is for drying off your hands, never your rear." The one thing the site didn't go into was how to dry yourself after using the bidet. Edit: I just watched a video that says to use toilet paper to pat yourself dry. That makes sense to me
You explained it really well. Thank you.
Thank you and we appreciate you watching!
Thank you. Always wondered how it worked. Bought one recently just havnt attached it waiting for toilet paper to run out.❤
Jeannie Herrer Thank you, and thanks for watching!
great vid...Thanks for being brave and showing because I never really knew how to approach this thing.... 🙂
Wow! Lesson I didn’t know I needed. Somehow I ended up with one. Now I may use it!
Use it! Once you get acquainted and comfortable you will hate being without it 😉
Thank you lol I've always wondered how they work!!
Thanks for watching! My husband is currently installing one on our toilet in our apartment. Will have a video on it soon.
in the US i have seen the built in bidets on toilets. but now at our guest house in italy we have a true bidet and it honestly makes me feel more comfortable/ hygienic with it being separate
I miss having a stand alone bidet. Well, I miss Italy as well. Thanks for watching!
You can still use toilet papers if you want and then move over to the bidet for the final rinse to clean any traces or smell that could still be there.
Omg I encountered the hand version of these when I was in Thailand, and can't live without it. Trying to get my family to use it now but you know, Americans who haven't traveled out of country lol
Europeans think we are dirty and gross for not using (and possibly Asians) and Americans think we are dirty and gross for using 😂🤣 We are a little uptight when it comes to cleaning our privates. Thanks for watching!
Very well done! As a nurse who knows the critical importance of keeping the Buttocks, Anus & Vagina structures of our bodies, this demonstration was exceptional. Kudos on providing info which for some reason, Americans talk about sex & other bizarre private acts, yet, talking about cleanliness in & near our rectum & genitals seems 😣 Uncomfortable? You did a superlative job here, so THANKS 🙏🏼.
(As a nurse, dealing with cleanup of our body parts is natural for me; I know the importance of cleanliness & avoiding disease-so this was fantastic).
Thanks, it means a lot coming from a health professional! It is funny how a good portion of the comments on this video are repulsed by washing oneself 🤷🏻♀️ Thanks for the nice comment and for watching!
@@WhileAwayWithUs Yep! And if those ppl who were “repulsed” would just learn a thing or two FROM YOUR VIDEO, they’d get fewer infections in the genital & anal areas. Wanna bet? I’ll bet they watched because they’re having “trouble” with infected areas. So please take heart. You did a super thing for cleanliness & healthcare. Don’t let a negative Nancy deter the good education you provided in this video. A BIG 👍🏻
It's because of the demonized sexualization of/by religion and the shame/stigma around lower anatomy that we are not conditioned to talk about our private areas in scientific or hygienic terms.
@he_lives_in_apineapple_und9743 that and the idea of a bare hand coming into contact with even a tiny bit of poo is terrifying to some (like if you use the mild washing liquid and *gasp* actually touch your butt). They don't realize that their butts are just not clean if they only use TP.
Its been a mystery to me for years, now mystery solved. Thanks.
Glad it helped and thanks for watching!
There are all kind of bidet: hand bidet, traditional bide like yours, bidet seat placed on your toilet vase, mini manual bidet for trips, work, etc.
You can install a toilet seat bidet or a handheld spray. The toilet seat bidet could be an attachment which is just the nozzle and control knob or a full toilet seat replacement.
Thanks for your comment and suggestion! We stayed at place where they had the converted toilet seat/bidet combo. It was great. Appreciate you watching our video. :)
Here, in Argentine, the water goes from the bottom up, but that's ok 😍
Is it very common in all or most homes? I would like to try a bottom up model. Thanks for watching!
Omg thank you! I bought an add on bidet for my toilet a few months back and i love it but i had a few questions and you cleared it all up for me.
Glad you found some useful info. Thanks for watching!
Outstanding, excellent video many thanks
Thanks for watching!
I remember when Crocodile Dundee first saw a bidet, he figured out what it was for. "For washing your backside, right?" Didn't take him long to puzzle it out.
This was perfectly informative! Thank you. Now I want one too hahaha
Thank you for your compliment and for watching! We purchased and installed an "add-on" bidet on our commode in the States. Check out our installation video ruclips.net/video/UI0opki5HUk/видео.html and our review of it, ruclips.net/video/RWsCqJha-IE/видео.html
Bidet are awesome. We use it often
Thanks for your comment and watching our video. We liked the bidet so much that we bought one to add on to our regular toilet! :)
Finally the americans discovered the so useful and underrated bidet. In sudamerica exists from 50 years ago
I'm American and i want to get one but the mere thought of having to touch my ass with my bare hand while cleaning is the only thing keeping me from getting one :(
Thanks for the demo. My ancestry is European so a bidet is well known to me but I never used one since we didn't have one in our homes. Came to Canada as a kid and again it was not a thing to have unless specifically built in. I was discussing the cheap hose type that attaches to a toilet with someone and knew the cold water only would be an issue since my water is super cold year round.
I will say that those without the use of a bidet should reconsider their brand of toilet paper first. That plushy soft stuff is not efficient at all and I buy the No Name brand and it does a perfect job.
Some people might also think about those flushable wet wipes meant to also clean that area. I find the rougher toilet paper works the best for me.
I also do my ahems in the morning and then have my shower and that keeps me fresh too. If you do have a bidet, then the idea of buying facecloths of a style that are used as a towel dab and then put in a diaper pail under the sink and thrown in with the weekly wash would work instead of reusing the larger hand towels. Good demo though.
Thanks for your comment. We got an "add-on" bidet and installed it on our toilet.We didn't get this particular model, but we saw some (you can purchase) that will heat the water.
@@WhileAwayWithUs I saw that they have some that can heat the water. It is funny how many North Americans think Europeans are so far behind in technologies and products. When living in and visiting Europe, you had to bring your own reusable bags for any grocery shopping, when VHS huge cassettes were used in North America, my relatives had tiny cassettes that would hold the same info and it slipped into side of TV, and now we are seeing the wider use of adopting a bidet!
@@islandgal500 Yes, Americans do think highly of ourselves. I guess being isolated by two oceans makes us myopic in our world view. I was glad that during our travels in Europe, that many of them just look at us and smile like a patient adult. LOL
Nicely explained, thank you.
Ricardo Perez Thank you and thanks for watching!
Thanks! Very nice video. My poop tends to be sticky so I wondered how a bidet would work for me. No other video I have seen gets into the detail yours has done.
I'm a little less intimidated by watching this. Thank you for explaining it so well.
I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks for your kind comment and for watching!
Not too sure how hygenic it is to use a butt towel on your Ticketoo... 🤷♂️
Ducati Dude Just think of the butt towel like you do your bath towel. Both dry clean body parts. Doesn’t your bath towel dry both your butt and fancy bits ? 🚽⛲️🧣😉
the stream of water that comes from the bidet should totally clean the surface of your rear, when you use the towel its just simply to dry your skin. there's nothing "left over" on the towel. I installed a bidet hand held sprayer on my toilet (which has the pressure of a garden hose spray gun attachment) during the whole covid toilet paper famine and have never gone back to toilet paper.
Jose Navarro _please leave a link of where to find that I’m tired of worrying about if Karen stole all the toilet paper this week and if I can get a new supply_
@@WhileAwayWithUs Shit smells and is disgusting. Why would anyone want a towel full of shit hanging in your bathroom? Having some skin cells and a little bit dirt on a used towel iin your home isnt as unhygienic as having a towel full of fecal bacteria and shit stains in your home. I would rather use toilet paper
@@zillertalernazihass We use toilet paper first, the the bidet to get squeaky clean. Just as when I wash my hands, i don't leave stains on my hand towels, the same applies to the butt towel. However, we do us paper towels afterwards instead of a towel with the bidet.
This was a Caillou moment for me. Learning how to use a bidet. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment and for watching!
Oh you certainly meant it like that 😂
😂🤣
I have had a bidet twice in my resort room in Cuba. I thought it was for the front part. You really did a good tutorial. I think that I would prefer to wipe first and then use the bidet. It is a hard thing for me to wrap around my head with the behind thing. I can see myself using it for the front. Wow, that towel should not be there is guests use that bathroom.
Thanks for your comment and for watching!
hello just a clarification, I'm Italian and I must say that your video was the only correct one on the web hahaha, thanks, you have perfectly explained all the correct uses of the bidet, I would just like to make a clarification, we ALWAYS use toilet paper to clean afterwards having used it in the bathroom, and only afterwards if we want we can increase the cleanliness with the use of the bidet. another clarification, the towel is disposable, once used it is right to remove it and have it washed, it is not good to hang it up. Thank you

I don’t mind doing this but for now I have to get my bathtub going and wash there because I have no bidet. Thank you for educating me on how to use a bidet ^o^ I never knew it was so multi purpose!

Ooh, an electric bidet! I might need to get one of those. Thanks for watching!
Bidets are for rinsing our private parts after every elimination. Some have two sprayers. They are not only more sanitary than toilet paper, but eliminate the need for it completely. As a side note, one actually feels cleaner (because they really are) as well. There existed several kinds and in price ranges all over the place! I have a travel size that works just fine. Others can be installed into existing toilets 🚽 or entire toilets that have bidets built into them (with lots of bells & whistles, too).
My little hand held one ☝🏼 (purchased on Amazon) cost under $15 (I think it might have been maybe $13 and change) consists of a flexible rubber container and lid that’s bent at the edge with holes on the end to be used as the sprayer. I run water before I squat so it’s warm by the time I’ve finished. (I like mine warmed a bit but not necessary for effectiveness). I use liquid soap and squirt a tiny amount into it then...while still on the Toilet , filler it up. Put the cap on and slip it behind me and then in front for to squish the water on my parts . You can determine if you want a like spray or heavier water pressure simply by squishing the flexing the water holder more or less. After this, I like to fill it up again to rinse. Same thing. It FEELS wonderful. One only needs 1. 2 sections of toilet paper to dry the area (which is perfectly clean by now) or 2. A small cloth to blot it dry. Boom. Done. Fresher than ever , cleaner than swiping (and smearing) whatever was eliminated and you’ll FEEL fresh too. It’s a whole other world. ✅👌🏼 oh, one ☝🏼 more thing: give it a week, to get used to how to maneuver the portable thing, how and where to use it, the right amount of pressure for your areas and just the process. After that you’ll never go without.
Ziggy3339 Thank you! Do you have a model or product info? I’d be interested in trying.
What a wonderful tip! Thanks so much, I never heard of this before.
@@WhileAwayWithUs I'm a little late to the party, but I think I can help with some product info for the handheld squeeze- bottle type of portable rinse item which Ziggy is talking about. I bought it on amazon during the toilet paper shortage. Brand name "Frida Mom". Apparently it is targeted at women (xx) who have just recently given birth, or have had a C-section, and might be having some tenderness in that area and want to feel good & clean. I don't have the product number, but I think you can find it easily because of the rather unique name.
Also, when I got the Frida Mom, I got a bundle of microfiber wash-cloth size towels. I can't remember how many were in the bundle, maybe 2 dozen, so you can cycle them through the wash and still have clean ones in the bathroom. Brand Name: Siga. They're about 12" x 12", very handy. And believe me, you haven't patted dry 'til you've patted dry with microfiber!! Plus, different colors for different family members. 🙂
Many thanks for your informative video. Obviously there are many of us who didn't know how to use one. We are all pros now, thanks to your wonderful video!

We had access to the man's bathroom, hers was part of their bedroom. The man had his own bidet (therefore his own towel). We, personally, keep paper towels on the back of the commode, and avoid having to worry about a towel altogether. I must admit, that while traveling we used just one towel between us.
Thanks for this. I can see the benefit of a separate bidet, I have one that is an aftermarket bidet attached to the seat.

Does everyone use the same towel? Is it weird when you go to people's houses?
As far as everyone using the same towel, I honestly do not know. And yes, before I myself started using bidets I thought the bidet and "butt towels were weird and gross. We just aren't use to it. The Spanish and Italian's grow up with it, it's part of their culture. Now that I've grown fond of the bidet I miss it and feel unclean without it. I find myself taking too many showers, and it is much more a big process to undress, wash, dry off, redress.
While Away With Us I use wipes faithfully for the same purpose as a bidet here in the States
Hello! No we have a personal towel, of course! And we clean the bidet after we have used it. And when you go to other people's house you don't use the bidet

When I first heard the word “bidet” I remember asking a older friend of mine what it was. He told me it was what women used to wash their monkey. I had to think about that concept for a while. But since then when I see something like this, it’s the first thing that pops up in my memory. Lol.
Im not sure that one of these is for me but the idea is pretty sound and it’s one of those topics that you have to address carefully so that you don’t come across as twisted.
Now you’ve added “washing your monkey” to my bidet association 😂 It is something you have to try and get comfortable with before making a decision. Thanks for watching!
