The first bidets came about around 1700 and were manually filled. Indoor plumbing meant recognizable non-poo filled ones in the 1800s, but the modern toilet seat one was 1964, so keep that in mind wrt time travel.

    Weird that in my language "garderoba" means "changing room." As in clothes changing room.

    residents hung their clothing in garderobe shafts specifically to rid them of fleas, using the ammonia from urine as a natural fumigant. The toilet and the wardrobe occupied the same small stone room for reasons that made complete practical sense at the time.
