As an American who has lived in four foreign countries, so it seems that many in the USA think that their way of doing things is always 'correct' and that other places in the world are 'incorrect'. Of course, it's foolish to think this way. But of course, many other countries in the world are more willing to adapt to new things quicker, with the USA lagging behind due to tradition, or fear, or refusal to change.

For Mother's Day Bob gave me a Toto Washlet and installed it himself. Last month we had an outlet put in. It works, and is quite as we are getting older and the idea of other people washing our behinds when we could use a bidet as we age in place is more appealing. I live in Metro-Atlanta. People from all over the world go through my town of Hiram, home of one long stretch of the Silver Comet Trail. I saw a review with a lady who reviewed the Toto Washlet, and she said that her children and husband line up to use the bidet. I like the idea better than all the toilet paper in septic tanks. Think of all the problems Septic Tanks give when too much toilet paper is flushed?!

The wand has positive pressure, so nothing gets inside the nozzle. Most bidets, even the cheaper seat adapters, have "self-cleaning" wands where there is a separate flow of water over the outside of the wands before/during/after operation.

Soaking tubs should be the default also. Standard tubs are too shallow.

I started using bidet seat attachments a few years ago and I love them. The one I currently have has most of the bells and whistles. If someone asked me what features to look for, I'd say 1) easy to install, 2) can accommodate warm water. These can sometimes cost a bit more but they are so worth it!

I agree with one commenter that this story made the bidet seem expensive and unnecessary. TP alone can't clean residual poop; TP is dry. (Try taking a shower with no water and just toweling off). Bidets still require TP, but less, sure. I have had a bidet for many years. It's not silly, or luxurious, or gross. It's smart, hygienic, and important.
