Interesting. The bidet I used had a dryer built in.

This was an all-in-one unit. Toilet, bidet, dryer. I think they cost like $5,000. But, man. I want one. Never felt so clean in all my life.


My ILs in Europe have one like that. It is harder to keep clean than a regular toilet and is hardly ever 100% clean. At least my guests always get to use a spotless toilet.

I love bidets. They are standard in European toilets, but not here. Wish we had one in our house!

We have bidets installed on all our bathrooms. They are great. You can dry off with toilet paper. No problems.

No. Quite ordinary Northern Europeans.

Mostly because it's another mechanical item that breaks and requires attention. It's not a stand alone, but a pipe thing in the normal toilet. Mom mom used to have a fancy Japanese number that had heated water - it was all buttons and wires-- but even that broke too.

Why the hell would ever need to explain wet wipes to your visitors. Their cooter's cleanliness=their business.


They usually use a bidet and don't know that the little white box sitting on the toilet tank are wet wipes, the American alternative.

I used a bidet for the first time last week.

Now I want one.

They are awesome.

That is all.
