What's some amazing technology they have in Japan that's very normal to them but would blow our minds here in the US and western world? - eviltoast

    Water coming from the nastiest thing in the building in contact with the part of my skin that’s got a low barrier to things passing through it? Get fucked.

        I think it’s more… What other people did with the bidet hardware that might result in it spraying other things with said tap water.

          You do know that toilets are like, the easiest to clean piece of furniture ever invented. Like the thing is designed to withstand being sprayed with chlorine on the regular. It’s literally a porcelain basin that has a built in water flushing system. If it’s your home’s private toilet, no one else but you will ever use it and you can make it as clean as you want it to before using it.

          Even then, epidemiologically, in any given public bathroom, you’re several orders of magnitude more likely to catch an illness from the door handle than the toilet.

              [About the study that claims changes in vagina’s bacteria] The study would “have to be repeated” for researchers to draw any conclusions, Swartzberg says.

              This could go either way, bottom line, we don’t know.

              bidet nozzles were contaminated with infection-causing organisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp.

              So does your fridge, but no one is advocating against using fridges to store food.

              You need to regularly clean it.

              Uhh? duh. Such a radical concept, hygiene, that’s surely too much for most people. You also have to regularly clean your whole bathroom. What’s the con?

              It’s also important to pay attention to your bidet’s water pressure and temperature

              The level to which some articles infantilize adults is the really scalding issue here. Top water temperature of a typical household heater should be no higher than 120 F (48° C), unless you do something seriously wrong, my guess is you’ll be fine.

        I’m less worried about whatever diseases I may already have and more worried about those coming from others. You can have butthole splash time all you want. If you’re toilet is entirely private, maybe that’s even good. I’m not doing it.

      Are you just fucking stupid? All water in the building comes from the same fucking place, the water in the toilet and the kitchen sink are the same until they fester.

      There is nothing more hygenic than a bidet

          Do you… Do you think that the water in the bowl is what gets sprayed on your ass?

          Is this like a mental locational thing? There is no way the unsanitary water from the toilet bowl can back feed into the water line. They are isolated mechanically via the tank float and by gravity because water can’t travel back up into the tank from the bowl. The bidet and toilet fill valve is piped into the same water line the hand sink is you use to rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth.

      Do you also avoid brushing your teeth on the bathroom? Because I have some news about poop particulate and toothbrushes for you.

        No, but I don’t keep my toothbrush in the bathroom for that reason.
