Expensive - but there are attachments for a toilet that act as a bidet and

Sorry no wiping tips here, but I can speak as a Master Plumber's wife... NO

WIPES FLUSHED DOWN THE TOILET - FLUSHABLE ONES OR NOT! He has unclogged

I knew of bidet, but not attachments for a regular toilet making it also a

bidet. Do you perhaps have a link for something like that Sara. I am interested

in knowing more about this.
