I Bought A Bidet

   Ever since a friend of mine returned from a visit to China several years ago and told me about a wonderful warm water jet-spray upward-blowing air-dryer bidet heated toilet seat she encountered there I've wanted a bidet toilet seat of my own. (See post from 11/13/2014, "All I Want For Christmas Is A Toto Washlet.")
     My desire to own a bidet increased last year when, during a trip to Honolulu, I experienced a high tech bidet,

....a Toto Washlet Performance Toilet (see post from 5/9/2019, "A Nice Surprise At The Royal Hawaiian Center")

      Last September I finally acquired my bidet, a Luxe Bidet Neo 185 (Elite), normally $79.99, specially marked down to $42.99.

    Not, alas,  the heated-seat, warm-water, air-dryer bidet of my dreams, my Luxe Bidet  was, rather, a plastic gizmo that attached to the back of the the toilet and to the water valve.

        How have I liked my bidet in all its functional, upward water-shooting  simplicity?   
       Very well, actually, up until now. But now I like my bidet even better. In fact, at this moment time I rather cherish my Luxe Bidet Neo 185 (Elite). Because we are now living in a moment in time when toilet paper has become a precious, hard-to-come-by commodity.

      And with my bidet, though one does need something with which to pat oneself dry after being jet-sprayed, that something doesn't need to be TP. It could be a small square of paper towling or even a piece of cloth that one could wash and re-use, which we in this sequestered household may resort to if our toilet paper stash should run out before the coronavirus has run its course.
       So I guess the moral of this vignette is that mayhaps instead of hoarding and obsessing over toilet paper, folks should be ordering bidets. Here's the Amazon link for bidet toilet seats, in case anybody's interested:

        Of course, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the water doesn't go off.
