| How quickly can one replace a bidet? How much does it cost? I looked at it and was immediately skeeved. This goes so far beyond replacing toilet seats. I don't even think I want a bidet. Do I wan't a bidet? It is in the same room as the toilet off of the master bathroom. Thoughts? |

| I'm not gonna install a bidet, but if I bought a house with one already there I would totally use it. My parts always feel cleanest after a shower, and a bidet seems like a mini shower. Try it for a week before you decide to remove it, you might like it! |

Ever stayed in a European hotel, OP?
Grow up. |

| Haha my two year old thought it was his sink to wash his hands and brush his teeth. |

Not OP. Can't afford Europe. Have never seen a bidet in real life. But how ... I mean, a stream of water whooshes up at your ass, and then it's splashed all over and you are supposed to wipe all that up and then pull up your pants? Logistically I can't figure it out. It sounds like it'd make a huge mess. |

| Bidets are really useful. Even if you don't want to use it yourself, they are great for cleaning up potty training kids who might not have the best habits yet. They are awesome for washing off feet. If you ever need a sitz bath, they can do that, too. |

OP, do NOT start using the bidet! Once you start, you never want to use paper to wipe again! |

Yes,any times- but didn't use the bidet. It's too... Personal. My own bidet- fine. Shared with strangers bidets? Nah. I'm not generally a germaphobe-? |

Does the toilet skeeve you out too? How about the bathtub and shower? |

| I lived in France for seven years and we bought a house with a bidet. We use it only to wash feet in the summer when you're more often barefoot. When we remodel the bathrooms it's getting demoed. |

OP: Being clean is SO GROSS!
Really, OP? Bidets are amazing. I'm just a plain ol' American, but I have never understood how we think we're so much cleaner than Europeans when we walk around with crap on our asses half the day. |

| I travel to Japan a lot and have fallen in love with their toilet seats with built in bidet type features. Water is heated, you can control direction and strength of stream. It is awesome and I wish we would widely embrace it. Nothing like a clean a** to give you purpose in life. |

Jesus, you're remarkably limited in your thinking. You know that you don't actually stick the faucet up your ass or any other "private" part, right? This is personal, but plopping down on something hundreds of others defecate in while sitting on it isn't too personal? |

| It is fine if you people like bidets, but I (and most buyers) don't want them. I learned the hard way not to buy a house with bidets if you don't want them. When you redo a bathroom, the replacements bidets are enormously expensive (since they are a niche item), which is really irksome if you did not want them anyway. To remove a bidet is even more expensive since you have to tear up the floors and walls and replumb the bathroom, or you will have a weird void space in your bathroom. |

Yet you shower in the hotel…and sleep on the bed where other people have had tons of sex…etc... |
