(Sorry, couldn't help it. Buck Rogers fans will understand.)
My Bidush is now installed and functioning and my pooping life at home has changed forever. I posted about this in the Clubhouse (there was a relevant thread... lol) and thought I should post it here as it's something that others might find fun/useful/helpful.
(That link is just for pictures/explanation... they don't appear to sell it. I am trying to get the link of the seller we've already used/know.)
Heather actually turned me on to this when she got it. She'd tried two other types in the past but they broke under the toilet seat (fat girl was too much for their pieces). She's had this particular one for almost a year now, and recently got one for her other bathroom because she's likes it so much.
I figured I'd have no need because I don't have a reach problem or limitation, but after I used it I was sold. You're totally clean!!!! And like, one paper swipe and voila... all done. I'm hoping I can save on toilet paper! lol
She's now ordered about 7 of them (presents, orders for other people, etc) from the same guy and he's been wonderful. Offered to take it back from her she broke it like the others, etc.
It takes about 10 minutes to install if you've got all the right stuff on hand, and it works REALLY well. It took me about 30 minutes only because I had an issue with my toilet seat hingey things... I don't think that's normal, I have a weird seat.
Basically, it hooks into the water supply of the toilet, so you push down the lever on the right side, and you get a spray of water from the nozzle located at the bottom center of the unit (which rests on the back side of the toilet bowl rim). It mounts under your toilet seat at the back of the toilet, so it's completely out of the way. There are spacers so the toilet seat doesn't rest directly on it, so you won't break the unit.
The lever controls the pressure of the water... so you press a little or a lot depending on the amount of water or concentration of stream, etc. The thing I like most is that the little handle you use for the pressure is far enough out that I can easily reach it... my hips aren't in the way at all and it's right there. Even Heather, who's very short-armed, can reach it with no issue.
It's invigoratingly chilly! You can obviously pay more for something that would heat up the water, but once you do it, the temp is not an issue... you know what to expect. (haha... just kidding, really not that bad - sort of refreshing!)
There are instructions and pictures on that page that pretty much run it down.
Costs just about $60 bucks, I think maybe a little less.
It's good stuff, so if you've ever considered whether these could be an option, or weren't sure what to get I can tell you that they are a GREAT option, and this one has been fat girl tested by myself, Heather, Sable, etc.
