Saved from ass wiping! Whew!!!

About 18 months ago, I splurged big time and got a bidet toilet seat. And my ass has worn one huge smile ever since. Seriously, it's amazing. Once you bidet, you can't go back.

There used to be a blog article by a guy in Australia that explained it all so convincingly but it's gone. Basically, his point was that if you were covered in mud, you wouldn't grab a roll of toilet paper to clean it off... you'd get into the shower. If your ass is so covered, why scrape if off with paper? Shower it off. It's far more efficient and comfortable.

But, this morning, my bidet wouldn't bidet efficiently. PANIC!! So I wrote a note to the folks I bought it from who sent me to the folks to made it who asked me if I wanted to send it back for fixing. It's under a 100% warranty for another 18 months. So I said YES! And then realized that 1. I tossed out the regular toilet seat last month and 2. I don't wanna wipe!!!

So, off to Home Depot for the cheapest toilet seat they've got. I had asked for how to uninstall instructions and with those came some cleaning and trouble shooting tips and BINGO! I fixed it!!! Whew And yeah. Saved.

I could return the Home Depot toilet seat but I think I'll just hang on to it for insurance - like an umbrella. As long as you have it, you don't need it.

In between all the toilet drama, I made a couple of new dolls. Baseball tonight. There are four games left. I'm going to miss those guys.

Explain this: you have a device that transforms your toilet into a bidet? How does that work?

[susandennis]

Yes, exactly!

There are lots of different kinds but the one I have is:

I was going to ask you for video, but we don't know each other that well. LOL LOL LOL

Seriously, though. It's cool and all, but I don't think it's for me. I can't get dry under ordinary conditions. How am I going to get dry with a spout of water shooting up my ... nethers? :)

I heart our bidet. Laugh all you want at how strange we are, people, but our butts are clean! :D

[susandennis]

Sooooooo clean! This morning, when I figured out mine was broken, I spent one whole minute thinking about living without one and then came to my senses. NFW. Not happening.

I didnt realize that you dont even have to wipe! I figured you use it after you wiped for an extra extra clean. wow...

[susandennis]

You don't need to wipe but if I am in a hurry, I blot dry. Otherwise, there's a nice blower.

a BLOWER?! oh man... i need this in my life.

[susandennis]

Everyone does - they just don't know it.

So the bidet it fixed to your toilet, not a separate fitting? I'd love one, my best friend one has one in her bathroom (the previous owners were Italian) but it is unused and unloved.

[susandennis]

Yes! It's actually a toilet seat. You can use the toilet without even using the bidet if you want to (and you are crazy). I'm so sorry for your friend's butt :)

This is a timely post...

I stayed with a friend in New Zealand recently, and he had one of those post-installed bidet seats... Electronically heated and controlled. I have NEVER used one in my life, so of course, I had to try it... And I squealed like a girl, of course! But I so want one!

[susandennis]

For so many years I declared my microwave as the appliance I would not live without. That was before I got the bidet seat. I actually scoffed at the heated bit until last winter. I have two toilets in this condo. One is closer to where I generally am. I have not used it in more than a year. I go the extra for the Throne every time.

Warning, though.... it makes travel difficult unless you are visiting your friend. You can just private message me his name and address and let him know I'll be visiting :)
