I am looking for a toilet with a built-in bidet type outlet for washing ones backside afterwards. I have heard to the Geberit but that has too many functions - I just want something simple.
Has anyone heard of these?

This reminded me of the first time I came across one of these, in a Tokyo Hotel. Here's a cautionary tail. I was fascinated by this gadget lurking under the loo seat so decided to stand with one foot on either side of the seat so I could see whatever was going to happen and pressed some buttons on the (impressive) control panel. After a few hums and buzzes a nozzle slowly appeared from the back of the seat and stopped in what would I suppose have been the relevant position and then a surprisingly powerful jet of water appeared out of it. Now, remember that I am stood on the loo seat with the bathroom door open. The jet of water was powerful enough to arc through the air, out of the bathroom and soak the top part of the bed in the time that it took me to bend down and press buttons at random until it stopped. If I'd been sat on it I think the jet might have been powerful enough to come out of my mouth! Once I'd stopped cursing and laughing I cautiously experimented and found that various buttons either made the nozzle oscillate, or varied the pressure or varied the temperature. Make sure you opt for a simple one with instructions in English :-)

Yeah Dave, we believe you (and so did the hotel staff, i'm sure)
lol
'onest guv, it's strange but true!

Simple, we got...
You might care to look here.
About 25 quid apparently.
Apparently very handy for cleaning up after "Quickies". 8 -)
Read right through the site for more information than you probably really wanted to know.
What I would ask given its intended application, is how it meets the water regs.

Mmm, lovely.

Given that you apply it upside down, won't the dirty water head back onto the shower head for the next person to enjoy?
I certainly don't believe the line that it won't feel cold even though it connects to the cistern inlet.

How would any body really know for certain that the previous user hadn't dropped it in the "Toilet Water"?
DG
Or even used it for more "internal purposes"?

I'm just back from Japan where it's common in hotels to have a toilet unit that will wash (and on some models) blow-dry your backside. It's basically a seat unit withs a control panel, it heats the water before it let's you turn it on then you can control pressure of spray, there's also a bidet function. It squirts from back of bowl so dirty water doesn't drip onto the nozzle. I tried to find one to fit as a feature at home but they only seem to be available for 120V and didn't fancy installing a big transformer in the bathroom! Also a bit pricey -
