I saw this commercial yesterday morning at Faux Real and spent the entire day singing the Loo Loo song and wishing I had a bidet. Watch it, it's the best thing ever. Enjoy!
I knew some people in Richmond (London) and they had a bidet. I have to admit understanding what it's for and in my curiosity, poking my head much farther into it than most people would dare!
I did not, however, have the guts to turn on the water works or "give it a test run." For some reason, I think it's grosser than... well, taking care of myself.
Our family always loved telling the story about Grandma washing her feet in the bidet when they toured Europe. :-)
Part of me is a bit skeeved about it, but it would be clean water and probably a lot more thorough than dry toilet paper. Plus, it would probably make you squee like the people in the commercial. Just look at their faces - it can't be a bad thing!! :-D
I really don't understand the hangup on bidets. I use a makeshift method (which I'm not going to explain because of said hangups) because, to be brutally honest, I'm currently too fat to wipe my own arse with any degree of efficiency.

A friend is having trouble wiping because of her size. I recommended stepping into the shower with a "spider," or shower head on an adjustable length of metal tubing, and "hosing" off.
She asked an RN about it who said she'd have to watch for staph infections!!
A bidet (while one would need space and money to install) would do the "hosing off" with only affecting the involved body parts...a better solution for those who can afford it.
I spray things down with a shower cleaner, so infections haven't been a problem yet. I agree that an actual bidet would be much better solution, but... yeah, can't afford one yet.
Hey man, you gotta do, what you gotta do. The bidet just seems like such a great idea in general, it would be nice to see it catch on in the states and become more affordable for the average Joe rather than a luxury item.

Why yes, yes it is.
