If there is one thing I want in the overall spirit and character it is the appreciation of a good bidet. Hygiene being close to piety, one can imagine that the scientists of CERN and KAUST and the University of Tokyo have created scientific marvels, sure that their posteriors were as clean and clear as their lines. thought. The same can be said of people from all continents celebrating the occasional fountainal intrusion, from those who use full bidets with birds singing to hide their actions to those with a simple pipe next to the box.
But America, this land of freedom and the homeland of the brave, can not join the fun? Is there no bidet culture in Dear Columbia? Phshaw. After all, there is something called Tushy.
This simple bidet system is the drug of passage to later pleasure. I’ve been trying to install a proper bidet in my house since 2007. The problem I discovered was that the design of my toilet did not allow anything big and heavy against the toilet tank. Because the system was so big that I could not adapt it instead of the seat, resulting in endless sorrow. I was almost going to trade my toilets for one of the simplest, fortunately the Tushy is the low-cost, low-tech solution I was looking for.
It works by aligning with the tank fill line. You simply connect the line to the Tushy and then connect a line from the Tushy to the tank. The water that would normally go in your bowl is routed through a small, moving nozzle and up to your back. The water, of course, is cold. You can also turn it for water to clean the nozzle, and an important addition for health and safety.
Keep in mind that the Tushy is as simple as possible. It does not blow fine perfumes, it does not spray or mist you, and it does not play bird song. But it costs $ 69 and seems to work very well in my tests. In fact, I think of Tushying the whole house because it does not need electricity or plumbing changes.
Tushy also sells a $ 84 Spa model that connects to your hot water line for a little heat. But that is for the few browns that can not handle a little cold water.
Why is it important? Because any innovation is important, for one. The changes in lifestyle associated with technology are moving from esotericism to the essential, which should give us a little laugh. If electrified scooters in SF are a sign of the apocalypse, things like the Tushy are the sign of a rebirth. After all, the clean innovator is the innovator happy.
Finally, ideas like Tushy will lead us to a new world of end-to-end hygiene. Maybe one day we will all have a bidet in our homes and offices. Maybe one day we will be able to break the toilet tissue chains. And maybe, one day, we will join the ranks of men and women who enjoy a good squirt in the morning. Until then, Tushy is his business.
