Holy CRAP...where has this been my entire life?

Home Inspector tried one.

I always liked the scene in Crocodile Dundee when he figures out what it is.

This just reinforces my general opinion of home inspectors. Let's mess with things we don't understand. It doesn't matter, we are specifically disclaimed for being responsible for our mistakes.

They also make a dual hot water version of the one I linked but research online said that unless you have a recirculating hot water system the hot water will likely never actually reach the bidet by time you are done for the unpowered units. YMMV.

I've got the same one @Larry in TN does. It's pretty cheap @Bill, and not too tough to install. I did a "fancy install" and went into the wall rather than punching out the side of the vanity with the hot water line.

FWIW, if you turn it to the "clean" setting that's in between "Off" and "Wash" with the temp setting all the way to hot, the hot water will come. If you really want it to get there fast, just turn the hot water on in the sink or shower to help bring it closer quicker.

FWIW, this is also a good indicator when you're doing your morning routine that the shower has warm water available and you can move on to step 2. :thumbsup:

Now a downside and I expect all of the bidet owners to chime in on this....

Using any other hotel/public toilet is now an awful experience by comparison.

Totally!

We only have it on 1/3 toilets at home... I'm using that one a lot more now. :rofl:

But, if you really miss your toilet, these are a decent second place to the bidet:

Also it's not just for using the restroom you're out mowing your yard and you get swamp ass guess what, you don't have to take a shower you can just clean your ass.

Also true*.

(*Not a replacement for soap... Until they make one that dispenses soap too.)
 
I've never had the pleasure (?)

Just back yesterday form a family trip to Europe
Paris, Ghent Belgium, and ended in Amsterdam
I was secretly hoping that at least one of our hotels would have one....but no such luck

Along with the bidet you also install one of these:

I can't remember where it was, but I was shocked to see a modern version of these on my trip. I think it was either in Belgium or in Amsterdam.
My 20-year old son had no idea what it was. Good old dad to the rescue with more useless knowledge!!
This new one had the towel looped pulled up tight. You had to pull hard to get the towel out, then as soon as you let go after wiping a motor wound the dirt section back in.
The germophobe in me though is shocked that in this day and age they allowed it. It still had a fairly large length of towel exposed between uses and anyone could wipe on it without pulling out any...and therefore the dirty part wouldn't retract.... or any matter of lovelyness could splash or be sneezed on it.

Probably all in the name of save a tree. What a failure!

This is in the men's room at the Kuwait City airport. A middle-eastern bidet!

When I traveled back and forth to scandanvia back in the late 90's these dish sprayer things were almost everywhere as I recall. Some had a little more substantial nozzle, but the same idea. Most were dusty and corroded and looked like they were never used. I wondered if they were meant to be bidets...or if they were meant as a water source for the janitor

My daughter has one of those attached to her toilet. It's for rinsing reusable diapers before putting them in the diaper can (or bag, I guess, if you're away from home).
 
I'm sorry, but I tried dude wipes once. What a load of ... well you know. They're little more than a baby wipe with a different (and not pleasant IMO) aroma. You think they'd have made them a little larger.

Interesting. I get the fragrance free ones, so no smell. They're both stronger and larger than any other wipes I've tried.

They do make a man-sized version as well. Either way, when it comes time for the colonoscopy prep, they’re not as rough on the taint as toilet paper is.
 
Speaking of Borescoping the Posterior, last time the Doc says "see you in 10 years". My reply was, iI I am still around in 10 years, why would I bother. He looked at my paperwork, "Never mind".
