Good lord. How can Americans be fatter than Europeans when Europeans are too lazy to even wipe their own ass? :p

The aim is perfect and with a little rotational movement, it cleans the entire bottom area very well. It also has an enema function which is nothing more than a high powered blast of water that penetrates you as you sit. The instructions say to stop it when you feel yourself getting full and then expel the liquid (nope, I'm not making this up, it really says this). Think I'll pass on the enema part but the cleaning works very well. All you have to do is dry your butt and you're squeaky clean. There's also a container for some kind of female fluid but the SO will have to figure out what that is.

Bottom line (pun intended), it is very effective and works very well. Much better than I had expected.

WTF... doesn't that shit just get flushed with everything else?

When I went to Peru, there was this one girl that thought it was a drinking fountain. :shocked:

Maybe I might try it once but I'm not too keen on the idea of getting stuff squirted on my anus.

Me think bidets usage in Europe has a lot to do with sewage treatment capacities.

Does she have a sister?

I may have to reconsider my purchase.
The only problem is that she will suddenly whirl around and start making out with you.

which one did you get? mine you just hook up a split from where the water goes to the toilet tank, and the other goes to the washlet into its own internal water reservoir where it heats it up like a hotpot. the water is always preheated in there, so even i just sit down immediately and decide to use the water spray its warm.

I thought bidets were used exclusively by women? I see looking at wiki that I'm wrong.

Damn. This is a deal breaker for me. Our bathrooms are on the second floor of the house, and it takes some time for hot water to start coming out... I wonder if they have an electric heater model.

my ideal bathroom will have a toilet, bidet, urinal, at least 3 sinks (no real reason), multi-jet shower, separate bathtub with jacuzzi function/some other specialty type bathtub.

my uncle's former company rinnai carries it. link

but not sold in the us division. it's an attachment that goes onto your toilet, probably only sold in japan, korea and europe.

The one I got doesn't have a preheater. The description said warm water so I assumed it did. If I had known it didn't, I would have spent a few extra bucks and got one that did. Yea, cold water on the tooch on a cold morning ain't no fun. Maybe I'll put this one in the guest bedroom and get another one later on. But like I said, it is very effective. I think one reason they haven't become more popular in the US is because we American like to think our poop don't stink so it's no big deal if our hiney is a little dirty.

you would think with so many gadgets in the US market nowadays more people would like a super advanced washlet seat. preheated water reservoir, variable heat control for water and toilet seat, front and back sprayer, self cleaning spray head, remote control, automatic seat cover, carbon air filtration, air dryer, soft seat and cover hinge (no more seat/cover slamming down). theres more but you get the point. :p

The rod retracts out of the way when not in use. It extends when you turn the water on. Normally it stays clean but if you have explosive diarrhea, all bets are off.

lol, it's not a power washer... it is just rinsing your butthole, not giving you a colonic cleansing.
