My husband attached ours in less than 20 minutes and that was with a severe sinus infection! They do make attachments that you somehow (don't ask me how!) attach to your hot water as well, so that the water isn't cold.<br /><br />I don't have any actual statistics on the safety of bidet vs. toilet paper for the skin, but I know that it IS supposed to be safer! Also, since writing this post, we've added reusable clothes to our arsenal, so after using the bidet you use a washable cloth instead of TP, which is saving us even more money! We still keep toilet paper around for guests and clients that are in our home, but even with that, we're spending very, very little on toilet paper anymore. A cheap ($1) pack of 4 rolls tends to last us around a month now.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559448743103933371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413124039150647928.post-83921325491081676792012-05-20T08:21:45.023-05:002012-05-20T08:21:45.023-05:00Well this attachment option seems like a WAY bette...Well this attachment option seems like a WAY better deal than installing separate plumbing! Question: where does the water come from? How safe is it for the skin vs. wiping my butt with a bleached bunch of TP?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413124039150647928.post-31812163195447262532011-04-28T10:46:24.192-05:002011-04-28T10:46:24.192-05:00That's great!

You can still use the toilet normally, so it's no problem if some family members aren't willing to try it out! I'm still really liking it. Definitely worth the small investment, I think.Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08559448743103933371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3413124039150647928.post-22077442417361641542011-04-19T11:59:51.729-05:002011-04-19T11:59:51.729-05:00I've heard Dr. Mercola praise bidets before, a...I've heard Dr. Mercola praise bidets before, and wanted to try them. But I don't think it would go over with the whole family. <br /><br />How much did yours cost? Can you still wipe & flush or are you only able to use the bidet on that toilet then? How are you liking it?Kendlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04746800248363770082noreply@blogger.com
