Ellen Khalifa says:
"I'm sorry to miss the Japanese toilet discussion. The U.S. has long been behind many other countries in the use of toilet hygiene. But I've noticed more and more people I know installing toilet seat bidets for hygienic or religious reasons. As older people are at increased risk of UTI's, this is one simple home modification that might be effective."
