I'll just have water

[WinterDeere]

Yes, I always get about 20% better mileage than my cars are rated.

You would hate my driving. It used to be almost routine that my wife's trip computer would be reading 30 mpg when I'd hop into her car to borrow for a day, but 19 mpg by the time I was done with it.

I'm not sure what my present truck and car are "rated" at, but I average 14 and 12 mpg, respectively. I may not be efficient, but I'm having a hell of a lot more fun exercising those horses!

Bidet for ever!! for faster healing.

I have yet to figure out how a bidet actually works, how efficient it is, and what the hell happens with the water that sprays all over your rear end? Do you have to have a towel next to it to wipe off with? Just questions, questions questions, abound regarding a bidet.

Thanks for asking the questions I was afraid to ask. While we're at it, when you're using the thing, are you supposed to sit on it or stand? Do you face the wall or away from the wall? Have you ever washed your boots in it?

They are very efficient. They promote healing if you have a hemorrhoid problem by not dragging TP over them.

With a stand-alone model you can sit facing either direction, but the hot/cold faucets are on the back side nearest to the wall so facing the wall is easiest to reach the temperature and volume/pressure controls.

Sit as long as you like. It won't take long to figure out the length of time needed.

You can drip-dry or use something like C-fold paper towels to sponge off excess water.

Unlike Mick Dundee, I never thought about cleaning my boots, but it makes washing the ceiling and wall easier.

I still cannot see how they work, and clean effectively.
I guess maybe I am to stuck in my ways, but if I was ever to run into one of them, I may have a change of heart (or azzhole) but since I am am almost 73, I have a feeling I never will

ok, I hate to, but I'll jump in on this uncomfortable conversation. As I've mentioned, my wife is from the Philippines. It just so happens that TP can be hard to come by when you're not near a major metropolitan area. Most locals in the hinterlands use a tabo. That's a small pot with a handle to splash water on their privates. Nowadays they're usually made out of plastic. A majority of the houses in my wife's parents' neighborhood don't have running water. I usually take a few rolls of TP with me when traveling there.

Paper products in general are very scarce. Getting a "table napkin" in a restaurant can be difficult and it's usually tiny or ripped in half. If you ask for a napkin they will probably think you're asking for a feminine hygiene product.

Back in the late 70s we had one installed in our new .
Whenever we had a party some of the ladies would use it and always came out of the bathroom with a big smile on their faces.

 

[lilranch2001]

Did you have printed instruction on how to use it on the wall?

 

[MossRoad]

There's all kinds of how-to videos on youtube. Have fun searching.

My wife had a little get together with her friends and followed her to the master bath for the demo!!!

I could be mistaken. Somehow though, I doubt that ladies had internet capacities to bring into the bathroom 50 years ago.

eww...

...if I was ever to run into one of them, I may have a change of heart...

They're installed in most European hotel bathrooms, and I always look at the thing with curiousity, but never had the desire to mount one and try it. I can't imagine how I wouldn't make a mess of myself or the room, in the process.

lol...

my wife also prefers the clothes out of the dryer.

Maybe it's just what you get used to, but I find clothes smell better when line dried. From a dryer they just smell like lint.
I suppose that's why they make scent beads to put in your washer...

My first time using one was under Doctors orders in the hospital. Pray that doesn't happen to any of you.

Most people won't need any training and it doesn't take long to decide it is "a good thing".

Sales boosted during the great American pandemic TP crisis.

I could have cashed in I suppose as I buy in bulk at one of my few annual Costco visits… probably have a 4-5 supply…

Anyone remember the movie Daddy Daycare?

After the R1 v R4 debate, we now have the TP v bidet debate.

I've never seen any printed instructions for using TP.

Need a new forum for "Potty Talk."

I am pretty sure it’s printed on the back side of each roll…..
