    We put a Toto Neorest bidet toilet in our new house. It's phenomenal. Now it's depressing to have to go at work - the only consolation is I'm being paid to poop.

    10 minutes of work poop time a day is nearly 42 hours of paid pooping time per year.

    I’m typing this on the toilet. Don’t lie we all do it.

    opposite problem in the past - boss asked everyone with a perfectly straight face to poo on company time more often if at all possible b/c product evaluation and all. complete with product feedback forms (thank goodness forms were online).

    Not me, I don't have any apps or games or forum stuff on my phone. I poop with focused intent.

    I keep my phone out of the toilet, unless it's one of those desperate for a quick piss in the midst of a conversation I don't want to break times.

    Wait! WTF are even talking about this stuff? I blame @YMO

    I got hooked on bidet's in India, which are very simple bidet's (our just faucets near the floor for you to use your hands... ) and got a cheap one when I got back. It wasn't great, the pressure so quickly went up, and at max it squirted across the bathroom against the other wall really hard.

    I gave up then, but a couple years ago found hand bidet's and got one of those. They're great, you can adjust the pressure easily and you have control over where it sprays. I use a couple baby wipes first (I know, they are made of plastic and I die a little bit every time I wipe my ass with one) and then a wash with the bidet and then soap on some tissue paper and then another rinse. I dry off with cloth towels that I clean. I probably have one of the cleanest asses in the world.

    We don't call them bidets, though. I call it a toilet spray, I think they sold under silly names like hygiene spray or something.

    Quickly becomes second nature, and the thought, let alone the fact, of toilet paper quickly becomes disgusting. It is one of the things about visiting Britain that I really hate.

    But I also hate the idea of a high pressure jet of freezing-cold water up my arse!

    Proper "hygiene sprayers" have adjustable temperature and pressure control. Ours ranges from "pleasantly warm" to "jets of lava up your ass". And it's always pre-warmed so you don't get freezing cold water on you sensitive bits.

    You speak from a cold climate! And if I lived in one such, I would like the very thing you speak of, very much!

    Here, the water is always pre-warmed due to an ambient temperature of not much less than 30C most days. And the pressure is usually limited by virtue of the head being literally the height of a tank on the roof. We actually have a pressure booster pump, set to about 1.5 bar, but that is still a fraction of British mains water pressure.

    Of course, not all Indian houses have these things. Many will have just a bucket and a jug. Well, there's a knack to that. I'd have to bring in my wife as guest speaker, as she grew up with all such things. lol... she doesn't talk on the internet, let alone talk about toilet habits on the internet! :eek:

    I was in Cambodia recently, another warm place and the hotels I was at had the little hand held butt sprayers. After a little practice I was able to use them without spraying all over the place, or giving myself an enema. Works there, but I wouldn't want to use on a cold winter morning, even here in LA.

    I ended up installing Bio Bidet A8's on two toilets. We have another one with a Toto butt washer.
    I use the A8 and like it. Has a seat warmer for cold morning, and works fine.
    Remote control failed at some point, but they were good about sending a replacement quickly, at no charge.

    We had planned for adding these, so had outlets installed by the toilets when we remodeled the bathrooms. Otherwise not sure how I would have added them.

    You get used to the cold after a while I don't mind it. It's always a bit uncomfortable, but not that big a deal especially if you have a heater in your bathroom so it's not cold in there as well.

    I wonder how much energy it takes to keep water warm all the time like that for the warm water bidet's.

    The good ones have tankless heaters so they only heat water on demand.

    My model is set for instant hot water heater. So sometimes its cold at the very start, but heats up in a few secs
    Mine is a hybrid with a little tank and a green option to not heat the tank, effectively tankless.

    A rough rule of thumb for heating water is 1 or 2 cents per gallon. This assumes you're heating from groundwater (anywhere between 40-70 F in the US) temperatures up to hot water tank temperatures (typically 120-140 F). Given that we're not heating up that high, but on the other hand we're probably dealing with inefficient heat transfer, using the 2c/gallon estimate seems reasonable.

    Now using the imperial system is already hurting my metric brain, but from what I understand about you Americans is that it's roughly 10 beers to a gallon. So now it boils down to a simple question: How many beers would it take you to wash your taint? Multiply by 0.2 and that's your cost in cents per doing your doody.

    @Philimon my friend, never be afraid to poop at work or in a public restroom again!! I for one am not afraid to take a dump anywhere anytime. I refuse to pee or poo my pants for any man, women, or child on the face of the Earth. As a matter of fact one late night of drinking and dining on fatty tuna at the Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo, I was caught in bewtween the closest convenience store and my apartment... I knew in my heart I could not make it the 300 yards to either, and quickly dipped into a side street off Shin-Ohashi-dori, squatted, holding onto a pole, and let rip with a fury only a rich, oily fish could bring... Now what? I had to wipe my ass, and trying to take off a sock was too complicated at this point, so I valiantly tried to tear off my underwear, but the waist band was too tough, but I managed to shred the rest enough to get a piece to wipe the shrapnel off. My friend bore witness to this amazing feat, and to this day says this is one of the funniest things ever seen, and we still laugh about it.
