The opposite, actually - I'm Canadian. :)
All I can say is that if you've never tried a bidet before you'll likely be very surprised by how little sensitivity you've got to cold water down there. It's simply not uncomfortable or even particularly noticeable, either in my experience or in anyone I've talked to about it (which is admittedly not many - it's not a common topic of conversation).
The hand bidet was super cheap and the shipping was free, so I figured "why not give it a whirl?" And it worked out great.
ill second that, i thought it would be a problem but decided to just endure the cold because i didnt feel like running power over to the toilet but turned out not to be a problem at all. if anything its sort of refreshing lol
Nothing like coming in from working outside, all sweaty and swamp-assed, and sitting down at a nice refreshing bidet. :)
How do you make it work though? You slip a hand behind you and aim at the crack at an angle so it sprays into the bowl?
Yup, exactly.
Isn't that uncomfortable?
Nope. Not sure what else to say about that, it just isn't. I guess individual tastes may vary though. If it's the temperature you're concerned about I think you'd be surprised by how little temperature sense people have down there.
Not the temperature, the posture necessary.
