    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.

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! :)

    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.

    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)

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!

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

I don't have the product number, but I think you can find it easily because of the rather unique name.

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.

      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!
