Dunno if this went through. It's not showing up. Try again.

Looking for real-world experience installing a bidet on existing
toilet. Basically, it's a spray nozzle attached to the water supply.
If anybody's done this, wd appreciate your sharing brand purchased and
if installation was complicated.

TIA



We put a Toto washlet unit when we redid our bathroom. It is very nice:
adjustable warm water, an air dryer, a deodorizer, and a heated seat.

Some of the considerations were that it fits only certain model toilets
(not a problem for us as we were getting a new toilet, too.), it needs an
electric outlet right by the toilet (these are rare, so you will have a
wiring job also, and it was fairly costly (Toto's are not an economy
product). Water supply was no problem, as it runs off the tank supply
(the water is heated electrically). And you need a convenient place to
hang the wireless controller. I think other manufacturers make them, such
as panasonic, and might cost less than the Toto, but our Toto has
performed flawlessly for over 7 years now.


Funny -- Toto is childhood slang in Spanich, meaning approx. the same as
"nookie".

They should also offer a Culo....

Yeah, as asstutely pointed out in this thread, bidets can be semi-assential,
in numerous asspects.

Hemorrhoid sufferers would find these not only very very useful, but proly
part and parcel of the healing process itself.
However, for walking hemorrhoids, like ****ty Two and Ricodjour, indeed a
full-body shower -- and private therapy -- would be more appropriate.

Overall, bidets really are quite the hygienic innovation, a longtime, uh,
fixture in Europe, but apparently a little asspersional to Merkins.

I wonder if one of these is appropriate for the guest bathroom?
Heh, I think company would NEVER leave, with one of those.... Hey, whats
takin so long in there.....
Mebbe I could make it coin operated.....

Oh, btw, diet and the right kind of exercise (NOT heavy squats, dats f'sure)
can almost eliminate hemorrhoids in some individuals, as well deal with
stiff backs, but bidets sure would be an, uh, asset for the occasional flare
up.
