It is basically a portable bidet and it is used in places where water and electricity are scarce. The not-using-the-left-hand practice is just ignorance/tradition based on ignorance. However people with showers can always hop into the shower and wash the nether regions. Much better than a lota. Plus point - you will never smell as many in the west often do under their smart suits.Readernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-87297164523725755082018-06-17T15:04:21.242+01:002018-06-17T15:04:21.242+01:00 I think you might find that the advert was not fo...

I keep them in separate containers and wash on hot water cycle every 3-5 days, a little bleach is added but not much. My clients from Afghanistan ( I was a PSW personal support worker ) introduced me to the practise, they use a watering can and wipes, only one hand is used as the other hand is used to eat with. I love the method and have been using it for a couple of years. I feel cleaner and drier than tp use only.

And to all concerned about hygiene, I don’t dip my face in the sink or let the basin touch my body ever, it’s used for spitting and rinsing dirty water down the drain. Paper doesn’t clean poo properly at all. For my baby I use rags wet with warm water then wash them and line dry them. For our and about I use eco friendly wipes that will decompose ( no plastic).

I feel that everyone should take advantage of this free service. However, there are those who do not use it, either because they find it distasteful to do or because they are afraid that something might be found and would rather remain in ignorance. Some people just can't be bothered. This free and simple test done in private could save your life.Jean.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-52046944179040064232018-06-16T10:10:09.153+01:002018-06-16T10:10:09.153+01:00Thank you for that story, Ruth.

The bacteria I picked up was from a food handler with questionable handwashing habits after using the toilet.<br /><br />I've heard of the use cloth movement but they do it very differently. Multiple pieces of clean, dry cloth in a basket. Dampen and use like toilet paper and then put in a bucket like nappies/diapers. They are then washed as a load and dried to use again.<br /><br />I certainly wouldn't be rinsing them out in the sink for further reuse. Nor would I put the in a microwave as someone posted.<br /><br />I lost 10 kilos in a week, was weak as a newborn and still have problems with some foods.50 and countinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12051116860123693646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-34118344303726384312018-06-15T22:50:02.505+01:002018-06-15T22:50:02.505+01:00Professor Gabriel Bitton at the University of Flor...Professor Gabriel Bitton at the University of Florida researched this, bacteria including faecal bacteria were eliminated by using a domestic microwave.

My Mum died 22 years ago aged 69 of bowel cancer. Looking back I think she started suffering from constipation at least 2 years earlier because she starepted eating prunes and AllBran but she never talked about it or went to the doctor's until she was completely unable to poo and was in incredible pain. She had to have an emergency operation but she had a tumour that had spread throughout her abdomen and died 6 months later.
