Bathroom habits are one of those things none of us want to discuss, but unfortunately, MS frequently has other ideas.
Between my growing issues and my now-resident son's IBS, a Black Friday sale caught my eye for a bidet that just attaches to your regular toilet. The same brand is currently going for $45, but it was marked down by more than half, so how could I resist.
Well, it sat and gathered dust for months. I finally propped it up in the bathroom and my son eventually got the hint. It came with all the tools and attachments needed, and he had it installed in under 10 minutes. It does take the ability to crawl around on the floor, which is why I didn't attempt it myself. There is no electricity involved. It just runs off the water in your tank.
Anyway, I absolutely love it! It's greatly reduced the number of showers we take because of problems "down there", and I highly recommend getting one for those of you who are having a few issues staying clean.

My hub told me that he looked out the window at work one day and saw the secretary at the shop next door being led out the front door all wrapped up in a blanket.
It was on the day the the city decided to blow out the water lines!
Once he hooks it up, you'll wonder how you ever lived without one! I'm like a little kid now. "I'm just going in the bathroom to play in the water."
Which reminds me of one of the stupidest things I've ever done. The kids were toddlers, and I'd taken a long bath. I don't remember why I had to get out in a hurry, but for some reason I didn't drain the water. It was a couple hours later when I realized that we hadn't seen my daughter for quite some time, and that was the same moment I remembered the tub. I completely freaked out and ran upstairs...to find my daughter naked and happily playing in the water. It was ice cold by that point, and she didn't care. After I sat down and cried, I dried her off and made very sure to never do that again.
Mine is the "Luxe bidet W85 fresh water dual-nozzle self-cleaning non-electric" currently being sold by Walmart.com for $44.97 (am I allowed to say that?). Free shipping, and it arrives in a couple days. We were impressed by the fact that it came with everything needed. I don't know if all the brands do that or not. Luxe is more expensive on Amazon, but it's possible the fancier versions will sing and dance or do your windows, in which case they might be a better bet.
Thank you! I’m not looking for bells and whistles. I’m just looking for something that will work right for what it is supposed to actually do (squirt water in the right direction!! Haha)
I should look for it. Because my Colagenous Colitis has reared it's ugly head again, I told my husband just yesterday that if we had room, I'd have him put a bidet in! (I ended up taking a brief shower instead. ) Saw my GP this morning and she's referring me to another gastroenterologist. My last one retired.
