[QUOTE] No! I don't have a bidet & doubt that I ever will, but do have questions?
1st is you still need either paper or a towel to dry with, what do you with the paper &/or the towel?
Can't imagine using the same towel, or paper, more than once. Or do you just drip dry?
I refuse to collect used paper in a container, it gets flushed as it was intended to be, & even if I might consider doing so the DW would say "OH! Hell NO!. There's nothing more gross than a public toilet stall with either a bucket full next to the toilet or a pile in the corner of the stall of s####y toilet paper that someone from some 3rd world country won't flush it.
2nd question, where we live the treated osmosis water is stored in above ground stainless storage tanks, this time of year it's VERY cold coming out of the tap, in the summer it's VERY hot, how do you regulate the water temp to prevent a shocking ice cold spray or a very uncomfortable scolding hot spray up that delicate area, I wouldn't want either.

Somehow I'm guessing you've figured out how to take a shower in the summer without scalding yourself. The same might work for a bidet. The bidet has a storage compartment that holds the desired temp till needed. The pex piping leading to the bidet would also delay/temper incoming water from your stainless tanks. But then again, since it's a non starter with the wife and yourself, to have a waste container, then the problem of solving the scalding issue is moot. As stated, I've read dozens of reasons why someone would not consider having a bidet. To each his own. Three sheets of a premium TP is all that is required to dry not to mention it's mostly saturated with clear water, not the multiple attempts of smeared brown tolerated by non users. The OP was seeking input to installing a bidet, I was only trying to convey some items for him to consider, not dissuade. As for the comment "as intended to be" I've been to many parts of the world where spent TP is always put in a trash container. Lastly, there may be a difference between an "inquiring mind wanting to know" and an "open mind wanting to ask a question".
