If you have never used a bidet before, you have no idea what you are missing.  The warm water that this thing uses to "clean" feels wonderful.  When my wife said she wanted one of these I looked at her and laughed.  My laughing turned to giggles the first time I used it!  It is very comfortable and does exactly what it says it will do.  Try it....you will love it and wonder how you ever did without it.
