Toilets may serve basic human needs but one woman has managed to forge a community over a shared need to find toilets with bidets in Singapore.

In 2022, the 24-year-old who wants to be known as R, was spurred to create the @toiletswithbidetsg Instagram page after coming across a tweet calling for an app that shows which toilets in Singapore have a water spray.Impressively, she has since collated over 200 locations where users can find toilets with bidet and even created a map for easy reference, which has had over 1.3 million views.

“I never expected it to hit a five-digit number and I initially thought this Instagram page wouldn’t last more than a year.” She shared that she followed a YouTube tutorial to create her map and spends at least an hour a week updating it and compiling and editing photos.“I started with fewer than 60 locations but it has grown to more than 200 in three years, I think that’s an amazing accomplishment!”“The support from the local community has been huge,” she said.

She added that bidets are sometimes removed by building management to prevent theft or because users use the sprays incorrectly, causing the toilets to be wet and dirty.The page is also a hit with tourists from neighbouring countries like Malaysia and Indonesia indicating how important such amenities are.“The best is when tourists send me their bidet finds like in their hotel rooms or cafes they visit,” she said.
