I had spinal surgery about a year ago. We knew that I’d be restricted for months and I wasn’t crazy about having someone helping me out.

So we got an in-toilet bidet. It’s basically a fancy toilet seat with the bidet built in.

We love it and yes, it does work well. Ours came with a remote control so that we can ‘aim’ the stream exactly where it needs to go each time. We’ll wipe once after (just in case) and every once in a rare while we need to let the machine do a second cycle.

The key is to dry yourself well. Don’t pull your pants up if you’re still wet or you’ll be setting yourself up for some jock itch. (Just as you use a towel to dry yourself after taking a shower.)

I agree with the author. It makes no sense that Americans are so behind the times with this issue.

And it’s unbelievable how much less TP we’re using!
