Discussion on:

Bring on the bidet

A great idea that just never caught on here in America!

can someone kill this a--hole?

There are far too many posts on TechRepublic that are obvious spam. Why doesn't an administrator remove their privileges to annoy us?

"For washing your back side, right?"

We have a bidet, separate to the toilet. Never seen a hybrid version as shown here. Best thing about bidets is that they reduce TP consumption to near zero, and in a post collapse situation, TP could become rather scarce!

Yes, with bidets you don't use toilet paper, not only does that save you money it's also better for the ecology. But the BIGGEST benefit is sanitation, using a bidet is much more sanitary than using TP, and your privates get washed several times a day every time you use the restroom. I've been around the world over 15 times and have seen just how much they're in use. Never did figure out why it never caught on in the states...

In addition to conveniently washing sensitive front and rear areas with warm water, there is also an air freshener that eliminates odor; a seat warmer, and a warm air blower. We've had one for 9 years, and it is wonderful. No more rubbing yourself raw with paper; use a gentle stream of warm water. The Japanese are WAY ahead in toilet technology, US mfgrs are just catching on. .

Another motivation to keep working on our flexibility
another more economical solution is to us a stool designed for the shower

I would like to recommend the new Bidet (Toilet Seat Attachment). It is Clean, Hygiene, Green and Comfortable. It???s much simple and easy to attached at your current toilet (I only spent 30 ~ 40 minutes). And, I would like to recommend Bidet4me Easy Bidet MB-2000 since it has water pressure control, temperature control, be able to select Nozzles (Male and Female) and Non-Electric.

You should get it for yourself, family or friends.
