toilet bidets

Toilet bidets are a safer, easier to use, and more effective way for the elderly and infirm to clean themselves. The bidet attachment for my toilet cost $37.12. I've been using it for several years now and resent having to use our standard toilets when I'm away from home.

With all their hard, wet surfaces, bathrooms are one of the most dangerous places for those of us with balance and mobility issues. Maneuvering around in trying to use a standard toilet can result in falls.

Americans use 8 million tons of toilet paper a year. Why?

I've had two in my house for 2yrs now. I used these in SKOREA and found a great deal at Costco for remote control types @ about 140 each

In Asia many homes are fitted with toilet showers - see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bidet....

Seems like these "bum guns" would require much more maneuvering that the easy and simple nozzle that's part of the toilet seat.
