Has anyone got a clean your bum toilet?

Bidet?

No mabon.

Dont like bidets - prefer to go into the shower, after I use the toilet, or if in a hurry, I use a dampened toilet paper.

That’s ok - but if you can’t use your hands - it’s impossible to use a towel, wipe, loo roll or whatever.

This is the sort of thing - £2500 plus fitting from Victoria plumbing.

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.

A small hand shower attachment next to the toilet is very common in Greece - very handy :-)

Virtually every sit down toilet in Turkey is a bidet toilet, having worked there for 13 years I really miss them. You can by bidet toilets here for under £500 or bidet toilet seats to convert your existing seat for under £200. Unfortuanately I'm in rented accommodation so can't sort mine out.

Italy has them-very useful, but I won’t be replacing our bog standard toilet yet a while.

There are a number of 'smart toilets' on the market now. I have a bidet, but when I move or change my bathroom I will have something similar to the one in the attached link

Many years ago I visited my son who works and lives in Tokyo. I experienced the toilets you mention. They are amazing. You can control the flush, the drying and the heating of the toilet seat by just pressing buttons. Simple extremely good. At first I was very wary especially going out into a restaurant in case I pressed the wrong buttons. They are very common now in Tokyo. If you can get one would say go for it.

I've always wanted one of these toilets but the cost is too much. Instead I manage with Andrex Classic Clean Washlets which make a big difference for me.

There is one in the flat we hope to buy. It's a probate sale and the lady who lived here, had lived on her own until she was 95 and this was one of the special adaptations her son had had done to help her stay independent. I've only experienced bum guns in Thailand (my son, who lived there, loved them!) so looking forward to a whole new experience!

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.

I often think it would be a good idea to have the equivalent of a hot air drier in the shower.
I like the idea of the washing toilet.

We installed a "bum gun" when I was struggling with my arthritis. My daughter (ex plumber) installed it and it is connected to both the hot and cold water supplies so you can set the temperature to your liking. I just use toilet paper to dry off afterwards. It cost about £45 to install, but of course the labour was free!

We had a Geberit brand Aquaclean shower toilet fitted when we renovated our downstairs whose room. We went for a mid-range model which has both the “anal shower” (warm water - adjustable temperature) and the extra facility for washing ladies' “bits”.
There is an extractor facility - which means the shower room doesn’t get smelly, and also a warm fan that supposed to dry the area afterwards.
We didn’t go for the top of the rename model that actually lights up when you walk into the room!

We had one put between the toilet and the hand basin when our bathroom was renovated ten years ago. Plumbed to the hot and cold system the temperature is permanently adjusted to a comfortable warm. It’s very useful for hair washing in the sink as well as for the lower region. We had no idea they existed until a member of staff in the bathroom showroom explained. She also encouraged us to sit on toilets of different heights, felt a bit of a fool but she was right to encourage it. Fortunately we both preferred the same height .

If they are the same style as those I found in Japanese houses they are great. No idea of cost. Also wonder with the posting about whether or not to keep a bath why there are very few Japanese style baths installed. They take up little space (could probably accommodate a bath and shower in the space used for a standard bath)and use less water but of course you couldn't indulge in lying soaking for an hour.

I’d absolutely LOVE one of these

No, I don’t have one, but I wish I did.

Hubby experienced these on a boys' holiday in Turkey and was determined to get one.
He first bought a cheap attachment for the existing toilet, but, as this did not heat the water, was really not an option in this country!
Then, about 5 years ago, he bought a fully integrated one that heats the water and, although I was not really keen, will now admit that it is very good and easy.
I can't remember how much it cost, but definitely not cheap.

I believe the toilets that wash you, also dry you with warm air.

I shall most certainly have one installed in preference to either needing carers to wipe me, or nappies if that day should come!

These toilets sound fantastic. I’m just pointing out (for anybody interested) that there is a product called Wype which is really good. I keep a small travel sized one in my handbag.

Save money and just get a Douche Shower. They are only £20-£30 and work really well.

The douche showers sound a good option, but a bit of a technical question please….presuming you do this perched over the loo and you need to lift yourself up, wouldn’t you be splashing (dirty) water around the room as it bounces off your bottom?…

hamster58 You soon get the hang of it and don't make a mess.

Jackiest…..I can see myself getting through a lot of towels while I practise!!
