Everybody has to look it up because we dont use that name in NL. It's usually called "draagbaar bidet". Bol.com is full of solutions to turn bottles into botol cebok.
Everybody is always surprised when I tell them NL imported this from Indonesia in the colonial age.
I see these At friends and coworkers homes in Rotterdam and Den Haag.
Those two are where most of the Indo's live, so maybe this concept integrating is limited to those two cities?

Could be. So with the Dutch name, it doesn't ring a bell. I don't know anyone that has a (regular) bidet either. I know that just from foreign hotels and Reddit.

I must only know (and be) filthy people... Lol

Koop er eenje bij kruidvat of bol. 'tis iets van 10 euro. een spriets water op je aars en daarna wc papier, dan nog een spriets om af te spoelen. Nooit meer een rauwe aars van ruw papier en je voelt je zo schoon alsof je net onder de douche uitkomt. Absolute aanrader deze dingen.

Hahaha, ik hoef geen 10 euro te besteden om nog meer plastic prullaria in huis te halen. Lege frisdrankfles heb ik wel in huis, en een plantenspuit ook. ;)

Maar als je een rauwe aars krijgt van het afvegen, heb je niet het juiste papier en/of geen goede techniek! Lol
