Experiment for you. Take the cover off your toilet tank, and flush the toilet. When the tank refills, feel the water with your hand. That’s the temperature that a bidet will deliver.
The water in your tank will be about room temperature but my water comes out of the tap colder than that.
The water that just went into the tank is the temperature that a putative bidet would deliver. You could even feel it as it’s coming out of the float valve.
My bad. Didn’t read your post carefully. Tap water should be the same temp.
I frequently wash my hands with cold water, because i can’t be bothered to wait for hot water. I assume that’s the temp I’d get from an unheated bidet.
Shea butter sounds comforting.
Do you have any idea how many sheas you have to milk to get even an ounce of shea butter?

Sounds like udder nonsense.
I have a bathroom cabinet with otherwise unused space between the top and the ceiling that turned out to be a good place to store toilet paper. This led to some deliberation: the size packages that make maximum use of the available space are either nine or eighteen jumbo rolls. But five such nine-rolls doesn’t quite fit so I typically store four jumbo and one double.
That seems so over-the-top I legit thought it was a joke at first.
Dangit @Die_Capacitrix you beat me to it!
I was all set to post about Hackle. I have tried a lot of TP in my time, but the 4-ply Hackle with camomile is the best ever.
I doubt any Canadian Cashmere could top our Swiss yellow puppies!
I heard on Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! that prior to a visit by Barack and Michelle Obama to Buckingham Palace to visit the Queen, the White House was asked about their toilet paper preferences. Apparently the Queen, ever the gracious hostess, catered to the comfort of her guests to that level. It never occured to me to provide my guests options.
(Though my job has involved a lot of travel lately so I’ve heard some of the quirks of my co-workers. One was annoyed that the hotel housekeeper removed his personal roll of toilet paper from the room; he apparently traveled with his preferred paper.)
Once I was in a hotel room that had two toilet paper dispensers. One was hung with the paper falling forward, and the other with the paper falling backward. LOL!
I’m not completely sure that specifying bathroom tissue requirements counts as grace. At some point, it is annoying if your barista spells out the many types of non-milk available when not requested to do so.
One presumes the Crown just use rolls of velvet and keep a plumber on call.
Unless of course, you can request an exceedingly specific pattern.
But the idea reminds me of the Mitch Hedberg bit where he hopes a king will come and visit him. “You’re not going to believe this, but I have a bed that meets your exact requirements.”
Dear White House,
Please accept my deepest apologies for this query to ascertain your bathroom tissue needs. As per our diplomatic protocol, we strive to ensure maximal comfort of our Honoured Guests. This involves taking into full and due consideration their preferences, dislikes and allergies. Accordingly, Her/His Majesty humbly asks with the greatest possible respect:
Chinchilla, Squirrel or Rabbit?
It’s a royal residence. Surely they would use ermine?
Do they still go on hunts? Because nothing beats wiping with snipe.
Or the scalps of The Tower of London’s beheaded prisoners.
But no crew cuts!
