Paris!!

[kroner]

i thought europe mostly did have bidets, and it was just americans who liked to sit in the their own excrement... i guess i was wrong. they had them in italy when i was there, so maybe it's just france.

maybe some of the european people around here can enlighten me on the bathroom styles of various countries.

[Dee]

Well bidets are available in Italy and Austria... I know that for sure.. I don't know about other European countries..

My country, Egypt, uses this shower thing that Seko was talking about... It's like a shower, you wash your butt using it after you finish your umm.. whatever you do on a toilet..

I mean, this could be very unhealthy!! It is very unhealthy! And very disgusting. Ew. Ewwwwww!!!!

[Just A Bill]

Just out of curiosity, where are you from Seko?

[Lemon Demon]

The idea of having an uncomfortably wet exterior doesn't sound that good to me. In England we have these soap things that you use to wipe down the seats. Personally, I avoid using toilets. I limit myself to a few times a day, if that. I hardly ever use public toilets. It's like rubbing yourself against a very sweaty person. I cover the rim with paper first. It reduces contact.

[SekoETC]

Just A Bill> I'm from Finland.

Lemon Demon> In many homes at here people hold towels next to the seat so that you can wipe your butt after washing. So it's not like you'd pull your pants over your wet arse! You can also use paper for wiping but a towel is better. The problem just is that if you're not careful with the washing, the result is skidmarks on the towel.

I got the impression that the French got a little shower built inside the toilet so that you don't have to use your hand in holding the shower? Otherwise a good idea but if it's in the same space where you pee then I doubt the water would be clean anymore. Or do they have separate pools for washing? Well it would be quite clumsy switching seats with your pants down! XD

Oh, do we have any Parisian players here or are they all from Quebec? lol I wonder what they like about the Paris topic turning into a buttwashing topic. X)

[Dee]

In Paris they have no showers at all! I haven't seen any bidets even!

Here in Egypt we do have the shower built in the toilet... It's more popular than the hand held shower..

And I've never heard of towels for wiping your arse? We use paper here... Do you re-use the towels or do you throw them away after using them?

Yet another discussion about the French turns to sh*t...


I have one very big complaint, but it's about Italian toilets... specifically Venice. People who've been there know what I'm talking about. THE TOILETS DON'T HAVE SEAT COVERS!!!! Everytime you go, it's a dangerous balancing act. Probably the leading reason for people not being obese in Venice. They'd fall into all the toilets!

[cantrlady]

The first time I went to go to the restroom in Venice...I came back out and said something like...no way - that CAN"T be the women's restroom. Unbelievable!

[rklenseth]

Well, if you guys thing that is bad, all I have is a hole in the with a roof outside my house.

[AoM]

I've seen worse, Serenity. In Egypt, just outside the Temple of Horus. That's the worst. Maybe Dee knows what I'm talking about...

[Yo_Yo]

Well I feel pretty fortunate. I got not one, but four corners to relive myself in my barthroom! And if i'm feeling zesty, I might even use the corners of my kitchen :p

Lol. But then again, I live in Ohio. A couple of my family members still have outhouses and whatnot :0

[SekoETC]

Yeah we wash the towels and re-use them, after all if you wash your hiney good enough then the towels won't get any dirtier than regular bath towels and they're usually changed once a week.

My mom was in Italy when she was younger and there was only a hole in the floor...

[Dee]

I've seen worse, Serenity. In Egypt, just outside the Temple of Horus. That's the worst. Maybe Dee knows what I'm talking about...

No I don't... Is it like a hole in the ground?

[Xeemaar]

How educative!

Has anybody seen an indian toilet, by the way?

[Dee]

Hahaha...

I'm just bored!

Edit:

LOL!! Egyptian Toilet:
