At 61 years old I am not sure what to think about my wife’s latest purchase but she bought a Bidet (had to look up the spelling) from Sam’s this past weekend that has a heated seat, a night light, and a freaking dryer.....Needless to say I am about the retaliate by buying me $300.00 worth of reloading supplies or maybe a scope or a few accessories for my pistols......

I (we) have a good supply and source for TP so not sure why the need but we spend about $300.00 each year on our own Christmas present to each other and this is what she bought for herself....Life is never dull at the Sigarmsp226 household...Not sure how I am going to like this thing but willing to give it a try (like I have a choice since there is only one bathroom downstairs and my bad knees make it hard to go up stairs)......

Am right behind you, will be 60 next year.

We are on the second one for my wife. This time, a high end Toto for our American toilet.

We're visiting family in Japan, right now. Every potty here is bidet style.

So, finally broke down and gave it a try. It's surprising, the first time, but assume you'll get used to it.

The jury is still out for me. I'm missing proper toilet paper. The stuff here is less than one ply.

Hope you get yourself lots of reloading supplies and other necessities!

Usually I’d say “Pics or it didn’t happen” but this time I think I’ll pass..

But seriously good luck and let us know your “impressions” My wife has been commenting on getting one.

Will you need TP to dry off....or does it have a hot air dryer?

Give it a try, you might be surprised in the end, so to speak.

Ugly American story:
When the USAF sponsored an extended Italian vacation, I rented an apartment off base. There was a conventional potty in the bathroom. Right across from the potty was this thing that looked like a small sink, complete with hot / cold taps.
I soon found I could turn on the little sink and put my feet in it while I used the potty.
Fantastic! What an invention!
I ran into my neighbor a short time later and remarked to him how great the foot sink was.
He broke out laughing and explained the proper use of a bidet. And he also blabbed about my foot sink to everyone in my squadron. It took me forever to live it down.
I still miss the bidet and I recommend it.
Just dont soak your feet in it!

Anything that touches my private parts and is not my own hand is my friend!

My friend and I, on leave in Rome in 1965, there was a bidet in our hotel bathroom. Didn't know what it was for, but it held a 6 pack and ice.

If you suffer side effects from medicines, specifically diarrhea, a bidet may prove worthwhile as it is much gentler than TP on the inflamed and sore critical area.

Can't see how a bidet could work that well. I'd need a fire hose when I'm done doing my business.

Think of it this way: When you get your hands all muddy....do you use a dry towel to clean them? Or water?

^^^ But there is scrubbing involved. Do these bidets scrub your nether regions?

You have to opt for the premium model:

If your bidet has a button for removing tampons: DANGER - DO NOT USE.

Just do the thing with the three sea shells...

Maybe you can make some sort of rack for cleaning and drying the used brass for reloading so both of you can use this.

People that have them swear by them but it seems weird to me. Never tried one though.

Have 2 of our 3 commodes fitted with them Saved my ass!

A bidet is an amazing thing. I bought the Toto seat and will NEVER go back.
