    Ha, maybe I used the wrong word. I meant wet wipes as in those paper ones that are wet. They are wet but still paper, certainly not fabric or anything like that. They are made for toilet use.

    Those bidet things warm or cold water? The cold in my house is so cold you would pucker closed for weeks. 

    It looks like an addon pack soon to come... toilet seat and water. 
    What else is needed in that product?

    Depends. The very basic toilet seat types are cold water. Some have a heated tank which gives you some warm water. The more advanced ones have continous heated water at different temps depending on what you set. The style pictures on pg1 looks to be hooked up similar to a faucet so you would set the temp like you do when washing your hands. 

    Personally I have a toto washlet with heated seat & water. Not sure my ass could go back.

    My wife and I often joke and comment on wanting to have a BM BEFORE our morning shower, and lament when that didn't happen (or 'I just showered and NOW I have to go? DANG IT')

    When I was a kid, I'd occasionally visit my grandmother in Puerto Rico, and she had a bidet. I thought it was the most AWESOME THING EVER; there's nothing that beats it for being COMPLETELY CLEAN.

     

    I honestly wish bidets were a thing in the US, they are great.

    TMI, you're welcome!

    I totally understand.  I travel to Japan frequently and one of the greatest things about Japan is their hi-tech toilets,which all have bidet functions and auto-warming seats to start and can get crazily fancy, up to models that actually run advanced medical functions and comunicate the information to your doctor.  You can buy them in the US as well from companies like Toto https://washlet.totousa.com/?gclid=CjwKCAiA1ZDiBRAXEiwAIWyNC3M7Ek-6cParq52bs-8Z2lFGCxK0eReelccNVnbvqh-7mypYGIzQ9RoC7wEQAvD_BwE at prices starting around $300

    Are you sure they aren't of alien manufacture and are just disguised probe machines? surprise

    lol they ARE a thing in the US.

    My first brush with one... my childhood best friend's parents bathroom had a bidet. I was always mesmerized by it (but not enuff to actually USE it... as a kid, it kind of scared me tbh. The idea of a pressure washed bottom is like erm)

    Many houses here actually have them optionally (its a bit like a hot tub... not every house will have them, but def some) And one can always upgrade their toidy to that too (but me... call me old fashioned, Ill stick to the toidy)

     

    Anyway, if you wanna be even just slightly sophisticated you need to at least add wet wipes to the mix.

    Color me sophistacted I guess... lol we buy wet wipes. Tho my old man would prolly fully sign on to a bidet

    This thread has turned out to be more fun than I expected.

    My first encounter with an auto-flushing toilet was on a visit to the US in Boston airport. I was pretty tired from the flight and when I stood up ... . Let's say I nearly didn't have to open the door.

    And on the subject of toilets, bidets and weird Japanese products, something I picked up in a Daiso-mart (basically the Japanese equivalent of a dollar store) was a hand-held bidet cap that you screw on a regular waterbottle... pretty similar to this one I just googled up on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Water-Bottle-Screw-Bidet/dp/B01D5GOOJI/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_60_lp_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2XGD8QKHC43BPKBRWAAT

    <snrk> That reminds me of the line about the proof that aliens are among us being airplane toilet seats — they're certainly not designed to fit comfortably any part of the human anatomy!

    A great reason to have a bidet conversion added to the toliet is for those with some type of limited motion or physical disability so they can still take care of themselves. You can get great conversion for $40 to $60 on amazon and they install in less than 30 minutes by about anyone that can use a simple wrench. 

    The non-heated ones uses "cold" water but it is really more room temp as it has been sitting still in the pipes for a while sually. Also you have a lot less nerves on most parts of your bum...

    To which I will say using a Bidet may not be like you imagine. The water arcs from the back of the toliet tween ur cheeks and across the spot, and then falling back into the bowl, mimicing the wipe of toilet paper. You can control the strength but its is more like a drinking fountain and the top of the arc. A slight wiggle and for sure you are all clean! A quick wipe to dry (unless you like to read and drip/air dry) and you are done. 

    The separate bidets come in several types for both men and women, with some requiring women to face various ways or adjust to the water for cleaning ALL parts. Also, most of the newer separate ones have a hand sprayer and make it very easy for anyone to clean themselves. The bidet has typically been used to do that "sponge bath" type thing saving a lot of water and time. 

    This is kind of an incomplete history and use of a bidet but figured I would share since the subject rarely comes up in the United States. 

    Oh yeah, and no more skid marks in the "tightie whities" either!

    All clean? That's not true either, you'd need soap for that. I'm sure if you had "stuff" on your hands you wouldn't just rinse them off with water. But yeah, at least it would be vastly superior to dry paper.

    that is subject to diet, I know from experience TMI (not using bidet just getting poop on hand) eating too many cherries for example and having an accident that washes off easily a greasy meal or chocolate would be nastier.

     

    before you ask I do use soap washing my hands was just a gross example of not all poop equal devil

    Now I will never again shake a vegan's hand. They might have had an accident and thought their diet did not absolutely require soap to correct the issue wink

    All clean was obviously concerning the bum, espcially since it was in the same sentence. Bidets for bums keeps you from needing your hands and having accidents with "bad" TP!

    The hand accident was just as comparison. The bum is going to be no cleaner with just water.

  • What options are there for drying? Can you get hot air drying like you can for your hands? I guess you'd have to move around too much and for too long. A wall mounted one would work... if you're good at twerking. If you have to dry wipe anyways, seems less than optimal.

    OK, now I have that image stuck in my head.

    There's always a quick pat with TP if your bidet isn't equipped, as most of the units I've seen in Japan, with a warm air blower function.  And while I've only rarely seen one that didn't also have a TP dispenser nearby, you can't walk down the street without encountering someone passing out local advertisements coupled with free packets of tissues just in case the public ones are out.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue-pack_marketing
