I've had extreme culture shock when I went to Indonesia. Both the unsanitary conditions of their squat holes and the hoses or cups they use sitting in pools of stagnant water in a country notorius for malaria and mosquitoes used to both wash shit and shower with. The whole "wet room" concept when part of my job is to grow pathogens like Ecoli. Just saw everyone's shit germs everywhere and had a few days of mild panic attacks. Not to mention trying to keep my clothes dry in thise things and seperate shoes and
Then how do people do that without getting their clothes all soaking wet?
Fast Forward after the shock
wears off, I'll shower bidet and still theres shit that sticks and then is now in the shower in a drain that isn't a power flush. Which grows germs and doesn't go down properly.
My hybrid solution is to wet some TP to clean the area and then follow up with some lotion or mineral oil wipes until it's clean. Paper just doesn't do a full job. Then get your shit germ sprayer thing (bidet arm) that gets shit on and aprayed with shit crossed my mind, but our water is COLD and how do you keep it clean?
Every description online is like very vauge and overly modest in using a bidet and I just need something explict step by step.
Unsanitary bathrooms are straight from hell. It's genuinely disgusting. It's usually the remote bathrooms in rural roads that are really gross and dirty. I'm sorry you had to experience that.
In squatting holes they usually have a low pressure shower bidet or a container just pouring water on it and then they scrub it with their hands. It gets your hand dirty but it gets the job done with minimum splashing.
I'm not sure how much it helps but wikihow has a guide.
Thanks cabbage
