Has anyone got a clean your bum toilet?

My daughter had a house they renovated, she put “Bum Guns” in two of the bathrooms, these are like a shower attachment.

They were fantastic, as they cleaned the loo as well as your bits.

My friend has just had one installed, as she has RA in her hands and is forward planning.
Yes, expensive, but she thinks it’s necessary for her needs. It even plays music!! (The fitted said it was for those who might be embarrassed by ‘toilet’ noises).

Common in Hong Kong hotels, unbelievable the number of functions including 'douche' and 'enema'. I was never brave enough to try that one! 😯

Roughly how much are they, without fitting and what is their commercial name?

My friend had a Japanese style toilet.
Not sure if that's what they are known as.

My son who has one says they are much better for your bottom than using toilet paper. I love using his when I visit.

Lots online to look at Charley with prices from £2K to £10K, pre fitting.
My friend had hers installed as part of a bathroom renovation and I don’t want to ask her the cost. I know an electrician had to wire it up, as well as the plumber fitting it and (like a Jacuzzi) there are special chemicals to use to keep the jets clean.

Georgesgran thanks, that is what I wanted to know, at least the starting price.

I tried a bidet when I had my son in hospital in 1987. Never again things come out not up . I know things are made better made nowadays but not for me. If my hands get worse I will use water wipes after using toilet paper .

Bidets are great for washing feet Whiff

NotSpaghetti I use a flannel as I wouldn't be able to get my foot in and my balance is awful and would fall. Have you ever watched Crocodile Dundee when Paul Hogan is in New York trying to work out why there are 2 dunnies . And shouts out the window for washing his arse. Always makes me laugh.

I came across one of these in Japan some years ago, no translation on any of the various buttons, I left well alone!

What temperature was the water. My sister has them in her bathroom but the hose connection is to the cold tap on her sink.🥶
A friend came across them for the first time in the US. She and her husband thought it would be a good idea to video but they only work (well this one did) when there was weight on the seat. So… she sat down and then leapt up when it started. She was soaked, the bathroom was soaked and so were all the towels when they finished mopping up.
Top tip- keep sitting till the end!

The temperature was set at warm.

Just to clarify- my Sister has the hoses, my friend experienced the squirting loo.
Thank goodness sago
What I have never quite understood is how do you dry yourself? Are there piles of washable cloths by the loo or is the preferred method lots of non eco friendly disposable wipes?

I have bought one for £26 something and it is coming tomorrow! Ripped packaging- I can live with that. If it works I will buy another for the second loo.

I would love one of these! £26? I would expect you dry yourself with a towel, as you’d do after a shower, bath or wash.

I love the pictures they have in their description.

they sound fantastic!!!! I never knew there was such a thing till I saw this thread a few minutes ago, years ago I rented a house that had a bidet & that was lovely but I've never used one since. I looked up the cheap amazon option, but couldn't find anything else, what is the better version called & I can google it? I'm hoping to move in the next few years so I can factor that into my house hunting!

Have come across these in Japan and the Far East but never used one, bit wary of them. Don't like bidets either.

Spain has bidets in hotels, always with a separate small towel hanging nearby. I have a cold water hose in my bathroom. The water is never too cold, tho it can be a little chilly in winter. I wouldn't be without it as we don't have enough room for a proper bidet.

These (the real Japanese toilets) are a Godsend for those, like my friend, who have almost lost the use of their hands.
They’re state of the art appliances, where all the ‘gubbins’ are hidden behind a panel. Not just a fad/fashion for most - a real, but very expensive necessity for my friend,

There is a company called Independent4Life which sells these, along with other bathroom gadgets for disabled people. Some of these special toilets even have warm air blowers to dry your bottom, for people who can't use their hands.
