Studying what I like and dislike would probably find sponge baths,
hard/bumpy sleeping surfaces, and outdoor plumbing (depending) in the
negative range. But I think I could handle truncated shower sessions if
not too truncated. And I suppose that a bidet contraption could be
multipurposed. ;D
BTW, One person I just spoke with today said something about hair
cleaning itself.
