I don't understand the hand held bidets? I am assuming you scootch up on the toilet seat and then spray your ass from behind and let the water run into the toilet? But it seems that this would do let's say an incomplete job. Do you then do it from the front? Seems like you'd get water everywhere.

My neighbor installed a Toto toilet and is thrilled by it. The wand that sprays the water is very precise and accurate. There is coverage for women and men...(use your imagination), no splashing etc...and it warm air dries. Best of all, the material used prevents any thing sticking to it and the wand self-cleans and sanitizes after each use.

We bought a Bio Bidet at Christmastime. Just needed to hire an electrician to install an outlet near the toilet. I love it so much! Water warms up quickly. You can adjust the temperature.

PS there is a bathroom/bidet safe extension cord if you need it warm all the time.

Please share!
BTW many "less developed" countries have used bidets for years and view the US as rather backward. And the non-electric versions cost under $100. Could be viewed as more green.

Why would it be a joke? Much more elegant and effective than rubbing yourself with dry paper. Do you get the rest of your body clean that way?

If you purchase a bidet toilet seat, you need to make sure that there is an outlet to plug it in but the water attachments just use your current water attachments that bring clean water into the toilet

So ice cold water then?

Ground water temps here are about 55-60F. That's not ice cold. It's refreshing!

I am pretty sure the goal is only the water touches you, not the sprayer.

Back spray?

Right--it's like a water fountain--the water sprays out, rinses the parts, and then drops into the toilet.

I haven't done it but thinking this may work - flush first to empty the water. Fill a bucket of warm water from the tub and pour it in. Then do your thing and wash with warm water?

There are basically 3 kinds of bidet seats-which kind did you get?

1. the kind that plugs in (need an outlet very near the toilet)--this kind heats the water itself, but maybe if it's been sitting for a while the water cools back down to room temp?

2. The most basic kind, which gets the water from the toilet tank. At this time of year, that water is pretty chilly and yeah, you can't adjust. I believe the description on amazon is "refreshing".

3. The semi-basic kind, which has temperature adjustment and attaches to your sink lines/the toilet water line. Just as the first big of water in the morning (or after a period without use) from the hot tap is not so hot, the first bit from the bidet will be not-so-hot. For this kind, best bet is to run the water in the sink for a bit so it's hot, then run the bidet water for a bit so that it's warmed up.

Come over to my house--you can have ours. It collects dust and takes up a lot of room in the WC.
