Hello 😊
I have had increased difficulty with fine motor skills with my hands with DD since Jan 2017 I had hip joint revision and the Walker used and walking canes and therapy all exacerbated the nodes in my hands. I am thinking about purchasing a bidet toilet seat to solve the abundance of TP I need since the hand grip is not coordinated for this use. There are some really fancy ones on Amazon. Has anyone had difficulty using TP paper. I go thru a roll a day and cannot hold it very well.

I have had surgery then Xiaflex can do mostly everything but holding onto small things pinky and fourth finger do not have a tight grip and things slip thru and fingers . I'm not complaining I am happy to have the use of my hand again since Xiaflex injection 4 years ago.

Also haven't seen this subject on this site (probably a good reason why.... LOL),and thought there may be some others here with the some issues in restroom. I am planning on using a toilet seat bidet just add to regular commode and add water supply , all electric even a blow dry cycle, and no more tons of TP. It's a easier alternative in my case. Anyone else have similar issue?

Cherise 😳

Hi Good to hear from you. I hope you are doin well. Thank you for taking the time to answer.

I have done a lot of research on the bidet toilet seat series and they range from couple hundred dollars to the Cadillac version of over $2500. and at the higher priced seats it would just as well be as good to just replace the current commode with the bidet. But installation is very expensive compared to splicing in a water line connection which I could do. A new bidet commode may be a good choice as you suggested. Very good advice as usual, we can always count on you.

I have seen the bidet seats and talked with plummers. Sounds like the more expensive bidet seats are guaranteed adds a bonus to the whole experience . Warm water. warmed seat, automatic seat open/close, water filter, night light and dryer, all electric. I'm surprised music isn't another included feature. There are good choices and the iffy choices.

Amazon has some good choices, as well as the plumbing stores and Big Box stores and many online bidet seat companies. Just hoping to connect with someone who has one installed. Actually in my case it's to a point where it's not a choice but a necessity and the idea of never having to buy TP again is worth it.

Not to change the subject I have adopted many creative techniques to daily tasks due to DD which is a whole other topic. One favorite is a steering wheel adaptor. It's very easy to hold on to without the worry of slipping out of my grip. It's on all the cars and rider mower. It's simple and handy.

Thanks,
Have a memorable moment today! Do something special for yourself!
