No one is answering the question of drying your ass. We need to know. A hose attached to the toilet water supply is not a bidet, a real bidet has warm water. I'd rather wipe than use the cold water supply in January. You need soap to be proberly clean. I've always heard that we wash more often than Europeans, anyway.
Ooo! I want a bidet. Would have come in handy for the round of shits I had this weekend. No more ass chaff!
a real plumber can hook the Kit on hot or cold water.. ya know both those lines run to the bathroom ,... a towel.. in fact, you dont need to be a plumber at all. you just need to take the clamp, place it over the hot pipe, clamp it on and it will self puncture the copper line and seal. It takes less time to install than giving a shit.. :mickey:
as i'm in the woods most of the time now, we don't have the luxury of a flushing toilet, so a jug of water, whilst squatting and tilting, ( yes, cold water :freezing: ), does the job... you get used to it... and FYI, soap in the nether regions, on a more than once daily basis, is definitely NOT a good idea for genital wellbeing... :2thumbsup:
We all should be using squat toilets. It's the position in which our body was meant to expel it's waste.
I still use toilet paper, just enough to pad my ass dry. I'm using much less toilet paper (maybe a little more water). I'm telling you it works very well. A quick wipe and check and your done - and so far the "check" has come up negative every time and I don't have to worry about getting errant poo on my hand. The jet is powerful (in fact I wouldn't recommend trying the highest setting, unless you like the feel of having your anus shot with a pressure washer). I swear to you this is the best money I've spent in years, and yes it's cold water - but if you think slapping cold water on your face in the morning will wake you up, wait 'til you try this.
I have a bidet at home that has never been used (at least not by me, I don't know how often other members of my family use it). Simple use of toilet paper and showering once a day is enough. Bidets are useless...
Wait till you're older and get some raging rroids. Somedays even three-ply with lotion doesn't cut it. Bidet would be perfect
Those kits hook to the toilet supply line, which is cold only. If you call a plumber to install a hot line to the toilet just to hook up a cheap hose kit, you are crazy. And have fun burning your ass, because you can't mix the water to make warm like a real bidet.
