To Bidet or Not To Bidet, That Is The Question!

This episode the ladies jump bum-first into the world of bidets—. Some are fancy tush-washers you’ve probably side-eyed in a hotel bathroom and others are just waterfalls for your toilet seat. There is a bidet for every need and budget, but is it worth the bathroom upgrade?  This whole venture into the world of bidets started with an  innocent question from Kara's 5th grader, “Uh, Mama What is a bidet and how do you dry your bum?”. As Kara goes down the rabbit hole of bidets, Jennie brings the history of their origin and Molly and Kara both discover there is an actual "Pootube" to teach you all you need to know about washing your bum and why. Picture this: a parent, a kid, and a playground convo that goes from “Wait, seriously?” to “Oh, gross, tell me more!”—it’s the kind of real, hilarious moment that fuels this pod. We’re peeling back the lid on bidets like the unsung heroes they are. From a school trip detour to the history of centuries of squeaky-clean cheeks across Europe, Japan, and beyond. The girl explores why sales for bidets peaked in America during the pandemic and why maybe it is time we all get on the clean tushy train.  Bidets aren’t just about luxury; they’re eco-warriors taking down toilet paper empires one spritz at a time, plus they’ve got health perks that’ll make you wonder why we’re still wiping? Expect some straight-up LOLs as we tackle the gritty stuff: How do you dry off after the splash zone? What’s the deal with those attachments? And yeah, we’re going there—cleaning tips that’ll have you nodding like, “Huh, makes sense.” It’s practical, it’s weirdly fascinating, and it’s got that ohgross.com vibe—equal parts “ew” and “ooh.” In the end, Kara, Jennie and Molly are smashing the taboo like a bidet blast to the face and convinced it is time to start a “Butts for Bidets” revolution. It’s not just about your hiney (though that’s a perk); it’s about hygiene and kicking TP to the curb. So, grab your headphones and let’s get to the bottom of this—pun absolutely intended. 0:00 — “What’s a Bidet?” Kid Q&A: How It Works And Why the U.S. Is Weird About It 4:44 — Why Bidets Boomed During Covid  8:04 — Health Wins Using A Bidet 15:31 — How To Keep Your Bidet Clean 28:04 — Bidet Options: Attachments, Travel Size, Smart Seats Learn more about your ad choices.
