I’m new to the bidet scene, and this one has me slightly confounded. Should I install a new towel rack next to the toilet? Should my wife and I share the towel? Do you wipe first? There are so many unanswered questions in the ways of bidet-ing!

In Italy, where the bidet is its own "seat", we use small towels, one for each person. The ones that usually people vacationing in Italy think are for the face, they are actually for your ass. Hard to tell the difference on American tourists sometimes.

Especially because Europe doesn't do washclothes, so as an American I had to learn VERY quickly what they were for

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean we don't use them? Those are exactly what I just described above.

In America a washcloth is a small hand sized cloth you use in the shower to clean your entire body, or your face

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You mean "while" showering? With the water running?

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Yep! Instead of a loofa washclothes are the thing here

[–] boredtortoise@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago

Huh, that's so random

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

Doesn't it get just damp and smooth? How can you scrub properly with that?

Anyway good to know what they are for when there is no bidet in sight.

I use my "body" towel for the cheeks and toilet paper for the crack, same ad when I shower

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago

My doubt about that is that, if you washed properly, it takes a lot of (usual 3 layers) toilet paper to dry the crack properly.
