Kohler makes a model that it calls Wellworth. It is a Low Flow

model, and verrry efficient. We had earlier replaced an older toilet

with another relatively expensive one that was supposed to be low

flow. Bad news, just as you all report.

So, then we tried the Wellworth. It sells for under $200 in white at

Home Depot. The old original models that we have upstairs do not

deal well at all with my post-DS poops which are much less dense than

pre-op. Sometimes, even though they are full-flush, I have to flush

two and three times to get complete removal. But, the Kohler

Wellworth model handles the " job " with aplomb in just one flush.

Last Sunday, I special-ordered one in tan and one in green from Home

Depot to replace the upstairs toilets. The special order for two

toilets came to $400. Of course, I'll have to pay the piper to

install them.

With all this talk about toilets and such--you know what my favorate

thing was in Spain? Every bathroom has a toilet and a bidet(sp?).

The bidet is like a soaking sink for your bottom. It felt so good--

you let the warm water flow and everything is nice, fresh and clean.

I think being such a dry climate there, the women esp. don't want to

completly shower every day--but the bottom can get done!!

They have other uses for it too--like a comfy place to soak your feet

and to shave your legs. Tried all of it out!!! I think if we build

a house we are putting in a bidet for our master bath.

We rented a house in SF with a Bidet. I LOVED it too. At first I

thought that it was overkill but soon learned to love it. I have been

getting by with the cottonelle wipes. They arent as nice as a true

wash but they do feel better than TP.
