In Chennai, all the bathrooms have this curious looking hose alongside the toilet… I know it is to somehow clean yourself… but how?

isn’t that what they have in hospital bathrooms too? I think it’s for disabled people?

No… I don’t think so… it’s in EVERY bathroom in Chennai. I don’t think they are that progressed in taking care of the physically challenged. Besides, I witnessed (from the other side of a stall) one being used. I could hear the water running and see it flow into my stall from under the divider… it was… eerie.

My guess is that you spray your ass with it. Another thought: I have been told that women (maybe men too?) squat on the toilet seat rather that sitting on it, thus resulting in waste matter sometimes dripping onto feet. Use the hose to clean your feet, and whatever else got dripped/sprayed/splattered during your visit.
Given those suggested uses, I’d be concerned about that water running into your stall while you are in there. But then, you did mention that sanitation matters do not appear to be the order of the day.

You describe is similarly to how others describe it… however, the second half of the question is how? How the fuck don’t they get their clothes all freakin’ wet? Man! It’s like Rubik’s cube!
