...AKA handheld bidets. AIBU to think they're brilliant, and anyone who is content with wiping their arse with dry tissue is a barbarian?

Haven't tried a Japanese toilet, but I assume (maybe incorrectly) that the drying takes a while. Unless it's like a Dyson airblade for the butt?

Mine is warm, but I don't think I'd be deterred from being de-turd even if it was cold.

I guess it depends how they are plumbed.
We lived in a house with a viscious one, plumbed into the cold water. It was chilly in winter!
I didn't use it. DH did in the summer.

Nah, it’s all about Japanese toilets. They’re the best.

A bum gun is something completely different in my line of work (operating theatres - colorectal surgery).
