Hello
@Tipper It sounds as if your wife may no longer be able to wipe/clean herself? I don't have personal experience of the type of bidet device that you've mentioned, but from experience of cleaning my mum after toileting when she was living at home, the use of wet wipes really helped at times. I think jets of cold water being used, whilst mum was still sitting on the toilet, would have caused her confusion/upset, and would have made the cleaning situation more difficult than it already was. Rather than a 'one stop ship out and clean up' I think it would have caused more, not less, mess and stress for both mum and myself. As long as there was a thorough wipe/clean then there wasn't a need to have a shower every time the toilet was used. There are also incontinence foaming cleaning sprays available which help to protect the skin too. Does your wife wear any incontinence products? If might be helpful to speak to your GP for a referral to the incontinence service for some advice. Also, if you don't already have any help, perhaps it may be time to think about getting some help in, to help with your wife's personal care? You can get portable bidets that fit over the toilet pan so it might be worth trying one of those first before buying a 'plumb in' version to see if your wife is OK with that.
