I got this spryer from Amazon to prepare for my reversal. However, in the meantime, I find that it really works great for cleaning out the bag. You just put very little pressure on the part of the spryer that makes the water come out. Full pressure is too strong. Gently fill the bag up with water. Close it up and slosh it around and gently, carefully empty it into the toilet. It has been helpful for me even before reversal. It comes with a side tank mount, but I had it put on my wall with an L bracket for easy reach. I had electric tape put on the edges of the bracket so that it’s not sharp.

Wonderful picture, thank you for showing the set up. What is the plastic thing under the seat, on the bowl?

G-Day JVM, That is made of Ply Wood and painted white and i made as a seat because I sit facing the back wall. You can do it without the extra seat but I am a mad inventor. When you sit facing the back wall you have a lot more room to empty the bag and no splashing. Regards IGGIE

I have a poor man's portible bidet. Washed out Pepsi bottle with a curved tube poked into the lid. Works great and was free! ;)
Have wanted one of the cheaper bidets off Amazon, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

G-Day Alex, Everything you see there is to be used at some time, so better than going to look for it it's already there. I can do a bag change in 5 minutes then back to enjoying life. Regards IGGIE
