Older style bidets are inconvenient because you have to hop from the toilet to the bidet. http://www.biolifetechnologies.com You gotta check out the COCO bidet.

If you don't grow up with it, it's not like you're going to know exactly how to use it. Allow me to be the first to say that my cat Pavel has been known on occasion to mistake the bidet for a cat bed. And my other cat Betsy thinks it's her personal water fountain. Don't tell Ale...he can't stand that we don't have bidets in the US, drives him nuts.

I find that my bidet is in the exact perfect position for leg shaving. I also use it to wash my feet and, very occasionally, for it's intended purpose. I had a French friend visiting who laughed when she saw my bidet. Apparently, in France they are considered terribly old fashioned and kind of yucky - she said "only my grandmother has a bidet."

Now I am so glad we kept it. I love the bidet. And always miss it when I travel back to the U.S. It's a *good thing*.

It's probably one of the things I miss most of Italy! lol First thing I'll do when I'll be able to buy a house is put one in the bathroom!

However, when I am in Europe I always use it as a foot washer. It also makes a great back-up clothes washer if you're desperate! Since I live in the US, I am without a bidet.

This is a funny, entertaining and educational story about the bidet. The flowers, cat and beer were good choices for alternate use. Congratulations! I have chosen you for The Schmoozer's Award. Please visit my site. Third post down. :) Jessica,
