As the Fifa soccer World Cup draws to a close with Argentina and France battling it out in the final on Sunday, there have been many other new experiences fans have shared about being in Qatar.
Among the many enlightening experiences for foreign visitors has been the toilet facilities in the Muslim country.
While most toilets at airports, shopping centers and stadia will only have toilet paper, most Muslim countries have toilet paper and a bidet shower.
Bidet showers are used by Muslims in Muslim countries and all parts of the Arab world as well as in Asia after using the toilet.
Many Muslim households in South Africa also use the bidet shower where water is commonly used instead of, or together with, toilet paper in order to cleanse themselves.
The bidet shower has garnered a lot of interest in Qatar with social media abuzz after a Croatian-born Serbian YouTuber and social media influencer, David Vujanic, discovered “handheld toilet jet spray in the restrooms” of Qatar while visiting the country for the World Cup.
Vujanic shared his experience on Twitter.
“Been using the toilet bum shower thing in Qatar for a month…I am absolutely horrified we only use toilet paper in the UK/Europe. This is the best thing ever man.”
“I’ve used a bidet in France, it’s decent but it’s too big, this is a simple high-pressure shower head, more functional and easily adaptable. Will be investing when back in London. My bum is very thankful,” he added in a follow up tweet.
Vujanic also was so impressed with the toilet jet sprays that he wrote in one of his tweets that he wants the image of “bum showers” to be printed on the t-shirts.
“I want this image printed on a T-shirt… I am now the self-proclaimed founder of the Shatafa Ultras group.
“Bum shower fanatics, let’s go!”
“Lmao people were beefing over toilet paper during the pandemic when they could have just installed a bum shower,” he joked.
Vujanic’s post about the “toilet bum shower” generated huge interest and thousands of responses with over more than 75,000 people liking the tweet, and over 14,000 retweeting it.
The 2022 World Cup final will be staged on Sunday between Argentina and France.
It is also expected to be Argentina striker Lionel Messi’s final world cup.
