The odd thing is, in Turkey we universally have a nozzle on the back of the toilet that just is a stream of water that falls in an arc forwards. You control it from a tap on the side, on the wall. You turn on the stream and then angle yourself onto it, or wet your toilet paper a bit when wiping.

Way less toilet paper (just to wipe&dry at the end), cleans way faster, your bum is not itchy, and it costs nothing. The toilet bowls come with this.

I hate American toilets. This can't just be a Turkish quirk, right?




Nope. Reading the comments, anywhere BUT the United States you can get some form of water cleaning - Southern Europeans and South Americans have Bidets - Northern Europeans have Bidet Showers (well, Germans have the shelf thing) - Asians have these toilets (saw posts claiming about Korea, India and Japan)
