We also need TP. DU has rules against going into details about bodily functions, but TP is also necessary. Even more TP is necessary for quite a few who have a much harder time each month with it. You have no clue.

I had to learn how to live without the ability to walk. I used to be able to walk. We all have a story.

Don't really know how to respond. Best of luck to you!

When someone is clueless, it is so hard to work within the confines of others' rules to try to give them clues that might enlighten them any at all.

A splitter for the pipe to your bowl and connect. You may need to adjust water pressure slightly with your valve.

Temporary solution... Buy a bug/ water sprayer at a sporting goods store. They will need the business
