Having one of those in your house is two points against you on the Trump deportation checklist.

Did the pioneers cross the continent and steal it with spotless underwear and clean asses?

My first experience with a bidet I thought it was a urinal, pissed in it, went to flush, and the urinal pissed on me. Fuck France.

OTOH a clean bum is a wonderful thing and everybody should install one of those Japanese toilets with a seat warmer and warm soapy water to squirt your butt, followed by a rinse and air dry. Some of them even play soothing music to accompany your efforts. Say what you will about the Japanese, they know how to crap. Even better, make it a squat so your rectum and colon align and the poop flows freely and smoothly. Donald Trump should appoint me Secretary of Pooping and I'll sort this country out right quick. We cannot afford a crap gap.

All the toilets in the Gulf region have a hose attached with a spritzer wash your butt with.

Can you use them to spray the mirror or something?

At some point in my life I'm going to publish an illustrated coffee table book entitled "Toilets of Our World".

From the link: It's like a massage for your anus.

And that makes it just fine, does it?

A classic. Seems sadly to be out of print.

10: I was just thinking how such a thing would work in house with kids. Your comment confirms my "Not very well" suspicion.

I finally clicked on the link. $400? That seems a bit steep for a trial run. Maybe start by using an old soda bottle or something.

We've got one. I like it. Haven't gotten the kid to try yet, though. The heated seat might be a selling point, since his usual toilet is in the poorly-insulated half-bathroom and stays below 60F during the winter.

No, no. The bathroom on the first floor is just part of a crappy addition to the house with no insulation (and leakier than the rest of the house, which is a good trick for a 1950s addition to an 1890s house). Not having to go up and down the stairs again trumps sitting on a cold toilet, apparently.
