Thanks! I wish I had one in my current place. I grew to like them although I never quite got the temperature thing right.

I figured out that it’s best to sit, turn on the cold and then cagily bring up the heat.

There is a spigot you can turn to run the water first. This is probably both to clean the bidet and to adjust the temperature.

Run the water in the non-fountain mode until you get the temperature right and then turn the handle to fountain mode for a pleasant luke-warm butt freshener!

This is pretty amazing. Bidets always confused me.

For the first two months of my study abroad, I ignored the bidet. In the third month, I eyed the bidet suspiciously. In the fourth month, I approached the bidet with caution and cleaned my feet off a few times. In the fifth month, I tested the bidet, which resulted in me hollering and a totally soaked bathroom.

You’re certainly developing a niche here for yourself, Kate.
