Wow. Having watched the video, the idea of ass-warmers in my toilet seat almost sold me. But I still don't get the bidet thing.
1. No soap. And supposedly no paper? I got news for them: spritzing a bit of warm water on your ass without even doing a wipe first (or after) is just gonna spread the shit and bacteria around. The friction from a good hard wipe will do a much better job of disinfecting than a bit of warm water. And really, how expensive is toilet paper in their country? How in the world can saving $20 a year from not buying toilet paper help justify buying a $1200 toilet seat?
2. How do you aim the thing? I'm imagining having my ass a half-inch out of place, and getting jets of water all over the walls, up my back, and into my crotch. Oh. Hmmmmm...
I have been thinking about the bidet that blows your ass dry, and I cannot help thinking that such a device would leave your skin terribly dry. Any chance we could get some mechanical hands that would rub moisturizing lotion on your ass after the blow-dry?
Ass-Cleaner 2000.
Someone design this thing, we'll make millions.
I'm thinking polish and buffing, like a shoe shine. I wanna see my face in? nevermind.
Is the warm air dryer in that video (hilarious muzac, BTW) anything like the warm air dryers in public restrooms? You know, the ones that make you wipe your wet hands on your pants after you've stood there with your hands under them for 2 minutes and they're still not dry?
That could have been a Scientology recruitment video. Must resist... music overcoming my will...
I gots to gets me one of them. My wife will particularly like the little nozzle that moves back and forth while it squirts you. I wonder what speed it's FSB runs at?
toilet paper? you think it's enough? why don't you all just stop washing your hands and use just paper to clean your hands?
Btw, I grew up in Italy and thus am used to bidets.
you are also used to public toilets with never finding toilet paper, and dirty bidets then. hte other side of italy.
i think i prefer a clean toilet with paper than one with a bidet but no paper or dirty enough so you with you had a .... guesswhat so you could pee like a guy.
I was asking my wife about this and she says the only bedets she uses in Europe are the clean ones in her own hotel room. It has to be a good hotel too.

What temperature is the water as it flies out of the nozzle and up your backside?

Hence the FRENCH name.
watch this video and you'll probably see the advantages of a bidet.
seriously guys, you're acting like windows geeks saying mac sux because they've never used one.

you're supposed to wipe it first.
they say you don't have to to make you think that you don't so old people and people who can't wipe it don't need to.
but that's bs.
I was pretty amazed when I leaned that.
I'm not sure how it does that though, maybe it has infra sensors?

maybe I could invite you over sometime...
btw, how old are you? just curious
you damn suave europeans.

I think they had a Simpsons episode about that.

Hmmm, SteveGongrui... You seem to really be into this bidet thing.. maybe a little too much. Does it feel good?

Problem solved. Just put a canister of freakin' baby wipes on your bathroom counter. It's even better considering it's got alcohol and crap in it.
