Installing a bidet at home was life changing but unfortunately it's transformed pooping on company time from a small proletarian victory into yet another grueling humiliation of inadequate working conditions.

I've always wondered, why aren't Bidet Showers(aka the bum gun) more popular in the west? Should be a far more cheaper and similarly hygienic option no?

    It's only a pain in the ass if you set it to powerwash.

    They're great cause you can aim from multiple angles, though I hear toilet bowls in the US fill with water way higher so getting it down there and not touching the turd water might be a problem.

    toilet seat adapters

    Do you mean bidet toilet attachments? Seat adapters only shows seat cushions and children's seat adapters. Bidet attachment's a really good investment, a cheap way to get the Japanese comfort and hygiene. Sadly didn't see anything of the sort in NY & NJ.

    I don't have too much experience with this style, so this is probably completely unfair... but I lived with a guy for a bit who brought his own portable version that hooks up to the sink... and dude would constantly leave water everywhere no matter what we'd tell him. So I def prefer the in-seat style based on my lack of trust for the humans using them.

    As someone who has used both the bidet shower and the in-seat style, you're right. The bumgun tends to be more messy. Your hand will also tend to get wet, but not necessarily because of splashback.

    I've used that as a kid and I always wished public bathrooms had them asw.
