Italian Bathrooms

Hey everybody!!!

I want to write about Italian bathrooms. Unlike what you may think, they are quite different from American bathrooms. No, the water still flushes in the same direction.

Toilets: Usually, the handle for the toilet is different than America. There is not a handle that you push down. There is either: a big button paired with a little button, a handle that you spin counter clockwise until it is done flushing (similar to a shower handle), or even a button on the floor that you have to push down with your foot. 


   The big button is for poop while the little button is for pee....
Unfortunately at school, toilets look like this....

Bidet: Some people might not even know what a Bidet is. Is is like a shower and a toilet. You use it for after the toilet to wash yourself. It is very highly used in Europe. It is used to keep somebody clean after using the toilet because toilet paper still leaves a lot of germs behind. It can also be used to wash feet, clothing
   The Bidet and toilet in my bathroom!

Showers: Showers in Italy aren't too much different than America. A lot of times, however, there aren't shower heads stuck to the wall. For the most part, there is a hand-held portion. 

Well, I hope you enjoyed reading this!! I'll write again soon.
