No, actually it's pretty sanitary. After having lived in Morocco for more than a year, using paper feels dirty. And it is - your behind is much cleaner when treated with water.
- johansch 11y agoHow about your hands though?
- jlg23 11y agoI wash them. In cultures where one cleans his behind with hands, one usually finds a tap at knee level just next to the toilet....

- atonparker 11y agoHow does it work? I get that a bidet is going to be cleaner than paper, but it seems like the continuous stream is an important factor. I can't really visualize how using a wet hand is going to do anything but make a mess. Sure, you wash your hand afterwards...but you just wiped a bunch of unsanitary water around a place that doesn't get a lot of fresh air.

- cpncrunch 11y agoHow do you properly clean yourself without using soap?
- toomuchtodo 11y agoSoap will dry out your bottom. Water only there.
- SixSigma 11y agoWater power seems sufficient. I mean, I've not done swab tests post rinsing. It strikes me as better than smearing with paper until I can see any more residue on the paper.

- Mz 11y agoI knew someone from a culture that washes their rear with soap and water after defecating. I was told they refer to Americans as "unclean ass" and are horrified that we just use paper and do not wash.
