> A common reason why bidets aren’t used in the US is that during World War 2, American soldiers saw brothels utilizing bidets. When they came back to United States, they shunned the bidet because of the connotations. ofc something sex-related would sink an obviously good idea in the US. Regardless, we purchased our first bidet in 2017 after I used one in an office I visited. It completely changed how I use the bathroom. Any bathroom without one is neanderthal to me. The idea of using nothing but toilet paper to clean quite possibly the nastiest orifice on our bodies is mind-bending to me. (Wet wipes would be an improvement, but it's super hard to find even those in public restrooms.) Even four-star+ hotels in the US won't have bidets! I carry my own when I travel. (The St. Regis in DC has a bum nozzle, but I think they carry those because everyone in the world comes to DC and most bathrooms of the world is with it and has at least these.) We upgraded two of our toilets to TOTO Washlets last year. These changed the game AGAIN. THEY HAVE DRIERS. I didn't even know a dryer for your bum was possible! I'm glad the US is finally coming to their senses on this very important topic.
