I will fess up. This was completely my wife's idea. I've tried bidets over and over again when we traveled and hated them. It was a hard porcelain bowl with a faucet attached, did nothing but get me soaking wet. In comes the brondell, and as Tim the tool man would say oh oh oh oh ahhh! It's like an adjustable power washer, warm water sprays in exactly the right spots and I litterally almost never have to use toilet paper. It dries has a vacuum to suck up smell, and a light to see at night. It's the coolest toilet ever, I literally will hold it until I get home!
