It is not electronic - it shoots a spray of water up in the center area, and is commonly used by women for personal hygiene.

I suppose it would also work if you had a messy butt! :)

A good Japanese brand is Toto. What you might be needing is their new "Washlet" product.

Toto

Wow, that would be like pooping in the sink. I did that once when I was drunk.

you dont poop IN the bidet. you use the bidet after pooping.

Absolutely flawless logic. I never thought of it that way. Of course I use my hands regularly through the day. The only thing my anus touches during the day are the poop and the paper.

accidently used one about 10 years ago.
the toilet had two flushers. one to flush, one to blast a stream of water up your ass
my sphincter tightened so fast i think i actually strained an anus muscle.

Is having a foul smell emanating from your butt a sign of manliness? I don't get it.

This.

Obviosly, if you just wipe with paper, your ass is not really clean. Something the europeans have figured out. Leave it to the Japanese to combine the toilet and bidet into one "appliance". Even when I visited malaysia and singapore, they don't even have toilet paper. It is understood that after the bathroom, one is supposed to wash the area with soap and water. They explained to me that this is how it is done in all of Asia. Your butt and private regions will always be clean with a bidet.

Additionally, it is not just used for cleaning the private areas. Where I come from (Italy), common people would also use the bidet to wash their feet after coming back home from working in the fields and farms. Women would also put one foot inside and use them to shave legs.

National? Panasonic makes toilet seats now?

They have the "analog" bidets you just move over to and hover over all over the Middle East. Wipe a few times, scoot over to bidet, clean butthole with water, move back to toilet seat, wipe dry. Fucking awesome.

No, but on my honeymoon I used one to clean my feet. I had no idea what it was for, I left sand in it.

I always use it, unfortunately when I go abroad usually hotels don't have it.
It's the best way to get the butt clean and sometimes I use it to clean my feet as well.
I think girls find it essential, because they can use it for both the holes :D

Do you use soap with the bidet, or hope that plain water will wash your piss, shit and lies away in one swell swoop?

If not, it just sounds like you'd be making a mess. At least toilet paper keeps it dry.

It arrived. Installation was easy and straight forward. You hook both hot and cold water to it. This is a bummer for me because you'd have to run the thing an hour before the hot water made it to the bidet. But if you can stand the blast of cold water, it does an outstanding job. 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.
