@TLK

He is too behooda for me. I can’t stand vulgarity in stand up comedy.

Ok question for you bidet people. Are not you afraid that if you don’t line yourself on top of that water jet properly, it could miss and hit your face instead. Ewwwwwwww

There are two different types..one is the jet thing..the other one is the like a tap…I have tried both..the jet thing is kind of a hit and a miss thingy

Re: The Lota thread

We use proper lotas…one is pink and one is pistachio green.

We have used watering cans though in the past…they work just fine.

The bidet looks uncomfortable.

The Muslim shower is probably the best solution but personally…washing using a lota is not inconvenient. So I guess I’d not change it.

Waleed, hope it’s a big 2 litre bottle.

Aaliyah, the hit or miss party is my biggest toilet related fear

Reha, my issue with watering pots/cans is the thin nozzle, hence very small flow of water.

Re: The Lota thread

You forgot water bottles !!!

But yes flower watering things are what we have

Re: The Lota thread

Had to Google French bidet there’s no way that could hit your face!!!

[TLK]

Phil, waleed mentioned plastic bottles.

We should start another thread on what can used as lota in case of emergency.

And I trust your research on ‘toilet water hitting face’ mystery. Thanx

I think because of plumbing standards, you don’t always find right adapters to make a Muslim shower fit into your existing plumbing

is it a technical job? I fix ours myself : I use thread to wind on ends before fixing and fitting

Re: The Lota thread

Ok so when u r away for vacation in hotel do u take lota with u.

[TLK]

Philosophy, in olden days, spoiled nawabs of India used to think that it’s below their dignity to touch their own butt. Of course they can’t have someone else touch it either. So the genius solution was them sitting on top of eastern style commode, in squat position. Two servants would hold a from two ends, a full roll of most expensive silk cloth, that would pass between the legs of squatted nawaab. A third servant would drop water on the cloth closer to Nawaab’s butt, and one servant would keep unrolling the roll, while other would keep pulling it towards him from the other side. I think you got the picture.

As soon as I can arrange for pure silk and three servants, I will answer your question.

No sometime fittings don’t match. Europe and Asian standards are in mm, while Americans work in inches, so it becomes a challenge to find matching size.

I did not make that up. Ask muqawwee. I am sure he could verify.

There is more to the above story. Nawab sahab used to donate that roll of pure silk cloth to this servants, who used to wash it and then sell it off. When servants were ever in need of more money, they used to add laxative in nawaab’s food so he had to go to bathroom again and again, using more silk. Servants would make more money.
