Bidet

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.

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..

Think of it like having to go to the car wash to pressure blast the mud from your SUV's inner fender well.

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

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!
