Me, as an Italian queer, watching Trixie and Katya be confused by a thing literally everyone in Italy has in their bathrooms no matter what. By the way you shall first wipe your butt with paper, then hop on the bidet (the one Katya found). Once you're on the bidet, you shall wash your ass with water and soap, then, when it's clean, you shall dry you cheeks with a special towel.
@MaxSnow24 fr i dont understand how people dont appreciate a washed ass lol. If they are culture shocked about this, I’m culture shocked that after their businesses they walk around and their underwear is only “cleaned” by tissue and not thoroughly washed.
Ok Trixie is treating Katya like an idiot with the bidet thing, but honestly these are all the questions I've had. Thank you Katya for advocating for all of us!
@RanchoFundo Correct, I'm from Philippines and studied architecture and we call that fixture a "toilet hand spray". A lot of people get confused because the term isn't well known. It looks like a metal hose with its own handheld so you can control the spray to clean your unmentionables. It is also connected to the same piping as the tank as they both collect water from the same clean water supply. So when you see it it's like a hose wall-mounted next to the toilet. And no it doesn't go thru a filtration process like what Katya thought. And the drying process may still include tissue but it's minimal vs just dry wiping. Plus just wiping is so gross, I could only imagine the fecal bacteria having a circuit party in your butt crack.
Hello, Egyptian here. There is a bidet and there is a shataf. The shataf is what's hooked to the toilet itself, whether it's from a nozzle in the toilet or a shower head looking thing. The bidet, is SEPERATE from the toilet, it's what katya was talking about. Y'all need to catch up with the rest of the fucking world 😂 Also, y'all BETTER wipe with tissues well afterwards so you DON'T smell like wet socks for the rest of the day 😒😖😤
I also appreciated the throwback to the seduction episode with the cologne on the bathroom cart. Hats off to the editors, this series has better continuity than most TV dramas.
I have agoraphobia! Agoraphobia, just like most disorders on tv, is misrepresented. You’re not usually literally stuck in your house, you have safe zones. So I feel ok going to certain stores at certain times with certain people. I feel extreme anxiety deviating from these safe spots. Love watching you guys!
The dsm 5 lists things like fear of transport, being in open or enclosed spaces that feel unsafe, it really is a feeling of deep seated need for security.
@Liam Healy Key words are if and may. I also said usually. I’ve had stints where I’m more scared to leave at all. It’s just not a constant thing, just because I feel safe leaving my home in certain instances does not mean I suddenly don’t have agoraphobia any more. It just means I was getting better. It’s sort of funny you mention that because I’m losing my home in about a month and it’s been very difficult grappling with that. I’ve been far more homestuck as of late due to this ahhh bad news to put it mildly.
That’s your experience. The mayoclinic says the following “If your agoraphobia is severe, you may not even be able to leave your home. Without treatment, some people become housebound for years. You may not be able to visit with family and friends, go to school or work, run errands, or take part in other normal daily activities. You may become dependent on others for help.”
@K Y Perhaps in a small town it's not as much of an issue, but in big cities it's a big problem. Wipes of any kind shouldn't be flushed. It's not just about the wipes' presence in your pipes/sewer, it's that they tangle together, & act like magnets for the grease/fat/oil in the sewers. They turn into "fatbergs" (yes, it's really a thing) in the sewer-lines, & wind up building on themselves like a snowball. Then workers have to go into the sewer & cut them apart to remove them. They cause major damage to municipal sewers & cause flooding from the water pressure building up behind them. Don't Google photos...you'll want to bleach your eyeballs.
The sewers are fine as long as people don’t use 20 wipes every time they go. It’s septic tanks you have to watch out for. Septic tanks will back up even with biodegradable wipes because the small fibers still get trapped as solid waste in the tank. The sewers head to water treatment plants, where the solids are separated anyway. As long as you don’t overload the pipes, you are fine
@Jewel Breaking down in a week isn't fast enough for the sewers (see my other post). I agree that the best approach is just washing after, like half the world does that, but for some reason our cultures decided it was better to chop down trees in order to wipe our butts with dry, chafing rags. There's also much less bacteria after washing versus wiping with anything. Also it's cheaper to use water than to use tons of TP or buy extra wet wipes.
@Lara Jones It doesn't matter whether they are biodegradable or not. For example, there are biodegradable trash bags, but the waste disposal companies just burn them anyways because they would take too long to biodegrade and the garbage needs to be processed faster. It's basically the same issue with the wipes, you don't have time for them to decompose somewhere in the pipes or sewers, there isn't much oxygen there anyways, so rot is slow. The only way to test whether something is safely flushable (without risking clogging or damage), is to take glasses of water, plop in a clean sheet and see how quickly it dissolves. It becomes very obvious whether something turns to mush instantaneously, like toilet paper, or if it maintains its structural integrity, like a paper towel. If it doesn't dissolve like toilet paper, it should not be flushed, regardless of its biodegradability.
@Vitor Carneiro Tonera Agree to disagree, a former roommate insisted on collecting her used toilet paper in the trash even though we explained that it's completely flushable, it was absolutely disgusting and smelled like an open sewer. Just entering the bathroom made me gag. We were extremely glad when she moved out.
I'm just a poor, working class hick from NE Georgia and yet I'm waiting anxiously for my bidet attachment to arrive. The one with a warm water option. Nothing screams Medieval torture like a stream of cold water up one's bunghole.
@Crunchy Oats Ok, thanks. It's still not a bidet. Lol, Katya was describing an actual bidet. Trixie was wrong in thinking that she knew what an actual bidet was.
Katya was methed up for a brief period...she jumped into a stranger's car neked then arrested...GRACEFULLY (I'm sure )😉....so all of the above, what you said 👍
We had a huge illegal rave phase here in the Netherlands. As you can imagine those were accompanied by a good amount of drugs. Me ex would smoke weed all night while popping pils and drinking beer. But he would actually risk it! He would just hope for a no-wiper and shit in the bushes or a field. Weed, pills and beer are not a no-wiper friendly diet! Absolute mad lad
Hi Trixie and Katya, Spanish gal here! We usually do not use bidets to clean ourselves everytime we p00p, and that is why it is not in the toilet. You can totally do that, but the Spanish bidet is also built a little different, since the water does nor come from the bottom up, so you would have to place yourself in a "weirder" position, or scoop the water and clean yourself by hand. We usually use it for other stuff, like washing our feet when we go to the beach, washing our genitals when we have our periods, giving small pets a bath, washing delicate clothing by hand, etc. Those are more common than using it as a substitute for wiping. Hope that helps!
I'm a proud owner of a bidet, the one Katya was talking about, and they really argued over nothing XD It's simpler that they made it out to be ^^ Btw I love Katy's look!
One of my favorite takeaways from this is Katya NOT knowing what a bathroom attendant is, and has always just been like, "Wow. That guy is here A LOT," or, "What an odd place to sell candy and perfume"
As a trans person, even if we has the bathroom problem "sovled" before trans people were a right wing issue, they would have definitely found something else to lose their minds over.
When I moved to Japan I had my first bidet experience. Dude. Never going back to not having one. 10/10 one of the top 5 quality of life improvements I’ve ever experienced. FOR REAL. GET ONE. IT’S WORTH IT.
OMG THE SCENE AT 4:54 IS ALSO BURNED INTO MY MEMORY. IVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND THIS MOVIE FOR ALMOST A DECADE BECAUSE AS A LITTLE KID I SAW IT WHILE MY MOM WAS WATCHING TV AND IT HAS TRAUMATIZED ME SO MUCH. I FEAR PUBLIC BATHROOMS BECAUSE OF IT
i know trixie wants to rename unhhhh and i was thinking.. since both of trixie and katya’s birth-given names are brian. why not call it the brians if both of them are comfortable with it
I must say right at this moment it is 3° where I live, my husband is on his way to get us Domino's and here I am going potty, while smoking a Southern Cut& drinking cold tea..and wondering if I can ever be as beautiful, classy and intriguing as Trixie and Katya.. Like a perfect cocktail mix of them into one and you know what? The soft jingle of Katyas sleeve/gloves is the most satisfying part of this whole bathroom experience.. ahhh the simple things in life are so joyful and bliss. 🤫❣️💯🚽🪠🚬🧻🚺♊️ thank you for making my day... Hmm I wonder how long til he comes back with the pizza?
I love how we're at the point where we don't even need to cut to the clip of Trixie talking about pissing in the gatorade bottle anymore. All the editors have to do is put the bottle onscreen and we all just know
My old house had a bidet, and me and my bestie couldn't figure out how to work it. So one day he says "Stuff it! I'm gonna figure it out!" As soon as he turned it on it sprayed right in his face and his shirt 😂😂😂
I saw Trixie and Katya in Glasgow the other night and then Danced my big butt off to Trixie djing at a club. What a phenomenal night that was. Thanx you two for giving me so many amazing memories
katya’s makeup in this looks so much like Loboda’s album cover on твои глаза, whenever i see it my brain is like that could so easily be katya. i feel like she should recreate that picture it would work really well with katya’s aesthetic imo
I recently went to the beach here in Cyprus and the was portable loos in the car park that stunk in the heat, and a motorbike dude pulled up and peed next to the loo, cause it smelt so bad. But I got a good show. So happy days.
