I need some quick advice. I'm writing from a somewhat posh hotel on the Pacific side of Mexico. In our bathroom there is a regular toilet, and next to it is a sort of "half" toilet with a sprinkler in the middle! What is this thing and what am I supposed to do with it!?! There is also a little cloth glove on the shelf, I am totally freaked out about this. I've traveled to Mexico a lot but never seen this thing -- I'm sitting at the little desk in my room, in my robe, and I'm going to wait for replies before I do anything. Thanks in advance, gang!

It's a european toilet for women. It's typically found in high end bathrooms. Simply squat over the bowl (after you turn on the faucet) and do your business, both 1 and 2. Use the towel to wipe - the maids will replenish and it's considered much more luxurious than toilet paper. Bonus: You'll be able to have a drink of water from the nozzle after you're finished!

Enjoy!

Mexico traveler:

What ya got there is a Bi-Dette. Just straddle that puppy and let it all go - both the brownie and the yelly.

The sprinkler is the best part. Just squirm your toosh around until the water scrapes off the berries. Then use the "mit" to cleanse the all-might sphinctre.

Don't get carried away if you tingle down there while using the mit. Just keep it brief. The good lord don't like ya pleasurin' yourself with that down there. After all, that's where the poop done come from!

Go to the Europe forum and do a search for bidets -- there was a great thread there about them

I cannot believe I am going to reply to this post!

It's called a bidet. It is for your personal hygiene use.

Jeesh...all this time I thought it was a foot bath.....

Why are some of you morons so blind to troll posts?
Geez, please don't give your e-mail addresses to timeshare salespeople or other scam artists...you people aren't safe out there all alone.
