To wipe the area squeaky clean, you may use your hand, assuming you soap-wash your hands before exiting the bathroom. Finally, you use toilet paper to wipe your bottom dry, and see that there is no soiling. Here is the only depiction of the device I could find on the web: http://tinyurl.com/cblf5s (A pdf page of installation instructions will open within the browser.) Examine the last 2 pages in the 4-page pdf file.

on 2/22/2009 Of course, the simple idea is that, rather than dry-wiping your bottom, water is essential in toilet hygiene. And while bidet is useful and fine, it takes up space in the bathroom. In Turkey, a built-in faucet at the back of the toilet's oval sitting-piece, just beneath the seat, with a separate valve on the wall functions just the same, and is a standard feature in all toilets sold in the country without exception. One minor drawback is that it is a single-valve system squirting only cold water, rather than a dual hot-cold adjustable water outlet common in bidets. In recent years, water squirting pieces with adjustable water temperature are being shipped to much relief. As for usage, after you're finished with your number two, you reach back to the wall while seated to turn on the valve and water is targeted to your bottom. After using it a couple of times, you learn to fine-tune the op

on 2/8/2009 I didn't know much about a BIDET. I could not even pronounced it. I found out it's a french word. But you see, bidet is a hygienic device. I did not know that I do not have to use a toilet paper to clean or wipe myself off. That for me is not hygienic but that's what we common people do till I found out about a bidet through a friend of mine. When I visited her at her house, I saw this bidet on her toilet and asked her what that was. So, she gave me a bit of information about it and did my own research online. Now, I got one and just love it. Mine is not pricey but cleans me really good. It's a sanicare bidet brand version 1000. Their site is www.sanicare.com
