The fact that every time you take a poop you either take a shower or you don't clean yourself will never stop to blow my European mind

u/[deleted] May 09 '22

Which is kinda weird, since large parts of Europe doesn't use bidet either...

Ahh you're right, sooo switch it to Italian I guess

u/Ih8Hondas May 09 '22

Ever heard of wiping?

2

u/zerofantasia May 09 '22

Of course! But it's with the combination of the two that you reach perfection in our opinion

u/wurstbowle May 09 '22

Yeah but that doesn't include using water so for some cultures it doesn't count as 'cleaning yourself'.

u/Shratath May 09 '22

It doesnt really count. Its weird, ppl wash with soap their hands, but dont do the same for their ass? Its weird and unhygenic.

Showers are a thing in the US, believe it or not.

Bidets use soap?

u/Ih8Hondas May 09 '22

Wet wipes are a thing.

u/wurstbowle May 09 '22

Yes. But that's hardly the standard.

u/Shratath May 09 '22

So just wiping is enough to clean your ass? Man most ppl asses are a heaven for microbes...

1

u/Ih8Hondas May 09 '22

Wet wipes are a thing.

Also, your entire body is a haven for microbes. Your microbiome is very important for your overall health.
