That's why the Asians have it right with the squirty bum hose.
If you're not familiar with them, they are hoses that fit to the pipe that fills the cistern. They have a little trigger on the end, so you can squirt water up your bum, while still sitting on the toilet.

I really csan't understand why we don't have them in the west, and I really really can't understand why a lot of westerners find them disgusting. It makes me glad I'm moving back to Indonesia next month.

Just for the record.
My preferred method is a squirty bum hose and bare hand. I then wash my hands. In England I tend to hold it in until I get home, then use the shower and my bare hand. I then wash my hands. The reason I mention the washing the hands bit is because the way people talk about wiping your arse with your hand, you would think that they seem to think it will be impossible to ever have clean hands again, when all it takes is a minute with some soap and water.

Historically, though
It would have been bloody hard to get clean hands again quickly (readily available soap and hot water being fairly recent and still not available everywhere).

I suppose that's the reason for British reticence about this sort of thing.

I don't have hot water in my house in Indonesia.
Hot or cold- well, quite warm as it heats up from the sun shining on the tank on the roof- surely you still end up with clean hands.

I can appreciate
the convenience of such a device, definitely.

Until it becomes more mainstream in the UK, I suppose it's wetwipes at best, though.

If I lived in Indonesia
I'd have my concubine/s do it for me.

I do know a bloke who will rent you a midget for the day.
I wonder if I can have a midget to wash my ring.

I love midgets.

I've been exploring the
internet for a good few years and I'm confident it's entirely possible

Agreed
People of the midgetty (i want full citation as the creator of that noun-to-adjective) persuasion are more likely to get their heads in there.

Use the word midgetty a few times today and try to get it seeded. My thanks.

Bang, and the dirty is gone.

We have squirty bum hoses here in Finland.
In fact - apart from big public loos with stalls - even toilets in supermarkets and restaurants have them too. They connect to the sink and redirect the water from the tap.

So it's possible to accidentally boil your balls if you don't let the tap run a little first.

What?
sitting on the toilet
squatting over a hole in the floor

I did become a fan of the squirty bum hose
when I was over that way, and I can see the advantages, especially as the plumbing was not able to cope with bog roll. I can't remember how you deal with the sopping wet ass afterwards, don't you just wipe your ass with bog roll and then throw it in a bin instead of the loo? Not much of a money saving idea really.

Also don't you get slightly turned on by water shooting up your rusty tuppence, or is that just me?

First time I used a jacuzzi, it felt so nice I sat right over the jet.
Only to have an urgent need to visit the bogs about 10 minutes later, mainly on account of having given myself a chlorinated dirty-water enema.

Not great.

They're great
when they work - but not when some dirty bastard has left them smeared in shit.

Still to be convinced.

You have to get used to those holes in the floor with bum squirty thing.
If you have spent two days on a coach in thailand and store up enough shit to sink a battleship. Don't forget that when you shit you pee at the same time, this could stop you soaking your pants and trousers in your own urine.


The above did not happen to me and i didn't go out that night without clearing it up.
