You position yourself; the water stream stays where it is. You get used to it very quickly and know where to expect it to be based on where you’re sitting.
Ah, I thought you were talking about the handheld gun versions.

Re: Has the bidet's time in North America finally arrived?
#182Every time I hear someone say that they stopped using toilet paper after switching to a bidet, I have some serious questions. Because I've used bidets and washlets of all kinds, and I've never met one that actually cleaned fully without also rubbing/wiping. So, ok, using wet paper can get you much cleaner and is gentler than dry paper, but blasting wet feces droplets all over the place with a jet spray alone isn't so…
The feeling of wetness is something that you get used to once you realize that your butt clean. On the flip side, most people who use toilet paper think their butts will get completely clean. That is actually not the case. But either is not a big deal because the skin in that hind area is quite resilient.

#183My wife made a joke about a bidet a few years ago, so also as a joke I bought us one for her birthday. The $60 attachment kind where you just plumb in a splitter from the source that fills the toilet tank.

Shocked reactions around the Christmas…

Given that it's plumbed in at the toilet tap, and that you'd use it before flushing, I would presume the water would be relatively close to room temperature, as the supply line is indoors just below the seat. That should be plenty for 1-2 seconds.

Seattle checking in. Just used a questionably accurate meat thermometer to check the water coming out of our tap. It looks to be about 6C / 42F. Brisk!
