Check it out. I'm following in the estimable footsteps of GeorgeH. We must thank those who have gone before us, those who have thrown off the shackles of custom and forged new ground.

Call me dumb but I don't understand exactly how this thing works
Surely there is a Youtube video on this topic!
What's that charmin commercial say,, something about " not supposed to talk about crappin.
Basically you let everything hang out ..rinse and repeat if necessary and or hang it out to dry.... Shower is easier at the end of the day..
but I hear when you get older it help on the "back end" ^.^d
I think its a French thing!!
Think of it like having to go to the car wash to pressure blast the mud from your SUV's inner fender well.
It bullseyes a stream of water thus almost eliminating toilet paper.

Wheeeeeee!!

COLD water! Well that ought to wake you up in the morning or spike your blood pressure.
You want to talk about shrinkage! :o If it included a warm air dryer mode it might be more attractive....but not to me.
Researched the one from a few weeks back,some of the reviews were good reading,it has lines for hot and cold but what do you
do for the few seconds until it gets warm?Pucker up?
Getting the water too HOT would be just as bad! My water heater is set at 140 degrees.
I installed a bidet in both of our homes and really miss them now! Of course the home versions have hot and cold and when you mix them, you use your hand to check the water temps before applying to your backside. Most popular is the rose bud feature. I have looked at these for our newest addition commode, the Dometic that replaced the Microphor. Running a hot water line would be no problem, however, normally you face the wall to use the bidet. In other words, you sit on the commode backwards. Hey, it works! The French knew what they were doing when they came up with these! No dirty job left unattended! lol
Mom always said to use SOAP and water.
Joe, with the Bio Bidet you will be up town again!!!!

It is interesting how different cultures handle the job of waste elimination. I have not spent much time in other countries, but did make a few trips to France while working for Schlumberger. I was amused/mystified by the toilet facilities I encountered in public and corporate buildings. Besides the puzzling bidet, some of the offices also featured "squat toilets". (I also saw these in Thailand and Vietnam) The "procedure" to use this rather primitive potty is pretty clear, but to my Western eyes it just seemed out of place in a formal office environment.
Different strokes for different folks!
Those are big in Japan,maybe they had alot of Asians working there.We called it the Binjo Ditch,your knees come up to about ear level.
Some years ago, I awarded George Hatfield the "Daisy Fresh Award" for major advances in the category of personal hygiene while traveling on the road. His memorial prize was a mug emblazoned with a daisy, found handily on Amazon. After we purchased our home here in Tucson, I was wandering in Costco one day and saw ... a Brondell bidet!! This was fairly deeply discounted, but I persuaded Jeff to acquire the still fairly pricey item. We had to add an outlet in our master bath, but the apparatus was then easily installed. I must tell you .... it changed my world. I do not think I could do without one, now. It certainly leaves you "daisy fresh".
Jeff also places it high on the list of "happy places". So there's that.
If you want to investigate high tech toiletting .... don't look to France. Japan is your best bet. They have taken the topic to a High Art. Their bidet controls rival those of a 747, and are only lacking surround sound and virtual reality goggles ... although those features may have been added.
Chris, it was one of the best features of our home! I could tell you stories I had with other customers on these units, but will save that for another day! lol
Lived in Tokyo, Japan for 5 years. We always had a laugh when new American's arrived. When going out, The new folks would have to use the loo. When they came out they would be red in the face, sweating profusely & have this Deer in the headlights look. Muscle memory was a bad thing in a Japanese loo. Doing a half squat (like sitting on an imaginary western toilet) and holding that position for the duration was darn hard work while doing yet other work.
Great workout for your quads though.
Well, I didn't know I was so well trained, I hoed cotton growing up and when natural called you found a bush to squat behind'
I guess I would do fine in one of their fancy outhouses!!!!

Found this charming placard posted inside toilet stalls at a campground in New Zealand. Lots of Chinese visiting, with different customs.
Pic of remote control of wife's bidet in the sticks and bricks.
Needless to say, I have my own bathroom.
Why in the world would you need a Save button? Then while I was typing this I thought of when the DR. ask you to get a sample.
You can tell we are all "OLD" when the conversation "degrades" to bathroom Habits!!!!!
Chris
Will research when I get time but I think these got started when every bathroom had a tub and there were no showers like we have
today,a bath took more time and alot more water.How do you know you got everything clean?,do you still dab and/or wipe and look?
The really fancy models probably have a closed circuit video camera with WiFi.
Of course, you will need to download "the app" so you can view the Hi-Def image in full color on your smart phone.
Saw that App advertised,it's called the Hemmroidal view.
We have one at home and I love it. I haven't put one in the FT yet but I am thinking about it. Works on 110v, water keeps warm all the time (i believe has own heater to keep water warm). Also the seat is kept warm all the time. This is nice in winter. There is a warm air fan to dry off with, but honestly, I don't use that much. I think it would cause a drain on the batteries as that seat heater is always on (as well as the water for the spray). Maybe not best when not plugged in somewhere. Mine is a toto and have had about 5 years and nary a problem.
You check and or nudge with the fingers of your left hand.
