Handshowers/ Hand-held bidet

Well not lotas really, but rather those shower head things they have in pakistan and other countries. Is it possible to start implementing those in North America? I think they’re better than having the typical lotas :hoonh:

Re: Pakistani lotas..

u mean the handshowers. get you’re terminology right sara :smilestar:

omg YES! can we please, please, please bring them here? all get tiled bathroom floors (ceramic please) and use that bottom faucet in the tub. it’s not like anyone uses that thing!

Re: Pakistani lotas..

lol

Re: Pakistani lotas..

Yeah that’s what i meant, handshower.. can someoen change the title please :blush:

Re: Pakistani lotas..

ok so how beneficial are those shower-cum-lotas than the regular miskeen desi lotas? :bummer:

Re: Pakistani lotas..

They are available online [click here]](http://www.desistore.com/chromespray.html). However a word of caution before installing them. Unlike Pakistan, toilets in the US generally do not have any drainage in the floor. So if this handshower/muslim shower starts leaking, you are in quite a bit of a mess.

Re: Pakistani lotas..

ummmmmm, less mess? I dunno.. i find em better than regular lotas..
Faisal, what if you're in the process of having your bathroom remodeled totally? Is it possible then to do that floor drainage thingY?

Re: Pakistani lotas..

:eek: :eek: No no.. I didn’t read that. I didn’t.

Re: Pakistani lotas..

Read what? Stop quoting me on things i never said :mad::emmy:

Re: Pakistani lotas..


I am sure its possible. Just that a lot of people in North America live in pre-built homes or rent apartments etc, so can't really install drainage in the floor without incurring substantial costs and inconvenience.

Re: Pakistani lotas..

What is a lota?

Re: Pakistani lotas..

Yah in Karachi I had those, so much better than just lotas.

Re: Pakistani lotas..

i think they are a waste. In america best thing to do is Dry-Wet-Dry wipe:

1) Take 3 sheets of toilet paper and wipe your ass
2) Take 4 new sheets of toilet paper get it wet and then wipe again
3) Take 3 sheets of toilet paper (in its dry condition) and wipe again.

The process can be repeated multiple times to achieve required satisfaction. I hope this helps

Re: Pakistani lotas..

^^ :omg:

Lotas have to be the greatest invention ever.

Re: Pakistani lotas..

^^ Your procedure is interesting if inadequate perhaps.

Re: Pakistani lotas..

:rotfl:
i used to think those things were to fill up the lota if you ran out of water :stuck_out_tongue:

until i asked my mum, and learned the real truth :smiley:

Re: Pakistani lotas..

lol i'm sure that's what people did in the beginning :p

Re: Pakistani lotas..

they are called Muslim showers...and they dont work here.

Re: Pakistani lotas..

Re: Pakistani lotas..
