We have to move every so often because of our professional occupation, so installing an expensive bidet is not an option in rental homes. I initially had ordered this and the Maro mix1 hot/cold valve mixer, and ended up returning that since I wasn't as bothered by the cold water as I thought I'd be (at least not enough to install that secondary attachment). I have never used a bidet before this, and it was a learning curve to angle the stream so water wasn't shooting everywhere, and sometimes I still need to wipe up excess water around the toilet, but this has changed my life significantly. After having children, it seemed like I had to wipe constantly with as many as 10 baby wipes to feel clean after a bowel movement (never had problems before kids), and I started to develop itchy, weeping rashes a year ago. It got to the point that I had to take drugs (prescribed) just to get through the day so I wasn't itching frantically during the day. It was that bad. I finally began researching everything when my care provider suggested I might have some sort of horrible viral skin disease down there- which turned out not to be true, thankfully. Once I started to use this, I have never suffered from that horrible itching and swelling again. The rash may have been the chemicals/preservatives from the wipes (which are actually quite bad-please rethink using them on children/infants) and the repeated friction from wiping.As an additional note, I have never had a problem with this device leaking-even when I've accidentally forgot to shut off the valve (a couple times even over a long weekend).
