A Rather Stupid Question…

While I was in Taiwan, I saw a lot of commercials for those fancy toilets that have butt rinsing functions. The toilets have water jets built into them, and sort of look like this:

TotoToilet

When someone activates the function, the jet appears under the person’s butt and cleans it off with a stream of water. I’ve used a peach to illustrate this feature because a piece of fruit is undeniably cuter than a crusty butt hole.

I know, I know, the stem and leaf are at the wrong end, but drawing them in their correct places would have made my peach look like it had a twig pee-pee and a ghetto ass leaf loin cloth.

Anyway, since my butt doesn’t drink water, and I’m sure yours doesn’t either, my question is this:

Where does the water end up after it rinses someone clean?

I know it ends up in the toilet, but what about that water jet? It’s still underneath the person’s butt, isn’t it? Doesn’t that mean some poop wash ends up on the spout? If so, then the next person who takes a dump and activates the rinse function would end up getting washed off by water that has been tainted by someone else’s doodoo bits.

That can’t be how those toilets work!

  1. It’s called a Bidet…blame the French for that one! And it also depends on the model. Most spouts have a separate water source and dont sit right under the fanny but to the side and shoots a stream at an angle.

  2. When the user….er, peach activates the function, the nozzle comes out, shoots the water, then retracts back and I believe water is sprayed on it to clean it for the next user…er, peach.

  3. We can find it in some toilets in Japan, but no all like to use it… for personal reasons… I’m not a fan  of that because I never saw people cleaning the spout… gross

  4. I have one of these at home.  The real benefit is that there’s a seat warmer so your booty doesn’t get a cold shock during the winter months.    I don’t really use the bidet function, but I just ran over to take a look at how it kinda works.  As for the nozzle, it only extends when you actually use the bidet function.  However, when it retracts, water is forced out of the housing and it kinda rinses itself off.  Finally, the nozzle extends at an angle and sorta shoots water towards your bum and does not sit underneath your bum.  Thus, in theory, the nozzle isn’t directly underneath the path of falling poo water. 

  5. well at least it doesn’t take two toilets to wash the tushie. haha well i guess in terms of who owns two, but i guess combining the two works out.  then again poopie water to make something Clean doesn’t sound to right.

  6. The people who use them, actually swear by them.  They have even said to me, “if you had shit on your hands, would you be happy with just wiping it off with just a tissue?”
