I know lots of people here have one, but when I searched before I couldn’t find a specific thread. I’ve wanted one for a while, but not sure whether to go the cheaper route or save more and get something fancier. We’re in a very warm climate, so heated seat would never be used and I’m perfectly fine with cold water shooting up there so don’t need that as a feature either. But I want it to last and be something that’ll get used by both me and my gf rather than ignored after a while because it doesn’t do a good job. The Totos obviously look solid but more expensive, while the Tushy is more cost effective but despite mostly good scores has people saying part quality is poo poo and you should buy x brand instead. Plus all the other brands in between of course. Also, do you have yours in your personal bathroom or share the love and have it in the more communal one (if you have more than one bathroom, of course)

It was super easy to setup, and though its obviously a simple mechanical device, its lasted well and its somewhat cheap feeling doesn't like, impact the way it functions at all. It's in our main bathroom upstairs, and the only worry we have is when our toddlers get old enough to twist the knobs to operate it. couldn't imagine pooping without it. some downsides: you cant go on vacation without missing it its arc range is fine for both of us, but i guess could cause some issues with some body types the setting for 'how hard to blast your rear end' isn't something you can really dial in. after a few weeks you get used to the high pressure.

I bought a "travel" bidet to try things out. It is a large rubber bulb that I squeeze to shoot water. It works well enough that I don't consider the upgrade to a normal bidet to be worth the money. When the weather is cold I fill it with warm water from the sink before making GBS threads. Though it is too large to be comfortable to pack for actual travel use.

I have a toto washlet and it has held up to my fat rear end for 2 years and everyone tells me my anus looks like that of a much younger man.

After watching this 5 product comparison a dude on YouTube put together last night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k1m4EOCC6I I decided to just plunge for the Brondell seat as at $80 it looked the perfect price and feature point between the $30 and $multiple100 options I’d been seeing. It arrived this morning as we got it from Amazon, and installation was quick and painless as hoped. It’s not quiiiiite as long as I’d hoped but it doesn’t interfere with use. The gf isn’t 100% sold yet but admitted she used way less TP, which means between us it’ll have paid for itself by Christmas I expect. I’m intrigued by the ‘travel’ ones like you have, but yeah portability definitely is the aim of the game.

Despite explaining that you have to click the dial once for the self clean, then push further to actually use it… I guess my gf didn’t realise that originally, as she went in again and I heard an ‘ooh!’ followed by a whole bunch of laughing as she triggered it properly on the second time around. I’ll take it she’s converted too.

I cannot emphasize enough how awful it’s going to feel sitting in a toilet in beautiful Hawaii or the Swiss alps or wherever and just wiping and wiping and wiping and never feeling clean.

This is my "travel" bidet, that I use at home: The brand is "Happypo", Po is German for rear end. I fill it with the water temperature I want from the sink, and have lots of control over the stream. This is an "extra large" version, but it holds just the right amount of water I need to feel clean. The normal size would be too small for me. It also is too large to pack when I am traveling light, which is most of my travel. But if you travel with a big suitcase already you should consider one. Despite the size I am tempted every day to take it to work. Wiping slowly and carefully on company time leaves me feeling so much less clean then a quick splash with that thing. Though if you are in a Hotel or something just get into the shower after pooping. I started my bidet journey with that, when I couldn't wipe my rear end for a few months after an rear end operation. The doctor said I should use the shower for more stream control even over a normal bidet.

Yeah, I like to jump in the shower usually when possible after going as TP alone never truly felt clean (and always felt wasteful) and wanting to get the bidet was to hope to get the same result without as much time consumption.

The toilet-seat style bidets are more about a jet of water like a power washer, so there's wetness but you aren't soggy from a ton of water, and you sort of drip dry for a few seconds first. I get what you're saying but it's never been a problem. I just came back from Italy and they had the "bonus sink" bidets, those looked much wetter and I couldn't figure it out. Google kinda explained it but one version apparently is just filling up the bowl and using your hand?

Oh man, 2020 hit and there was no toilet paper so finally bit the bullet and bought a handheld bidet. We hooked it up to the water line using an included diverter on the toilet, and it hangs simply off the water tank. It was really a simple process, however I am not afraid of plumbers tape and gentle hand tightening, and nor should you be, it's really simple. The model we purchased has a pressure sensitive lever I can operate with one hand behind myself while I clean after my business. I will never go back to toilet paper, just like pretty much everybody here; it just feels unsanitary now.

The hot/cold Tushy is a waste because you have to run your sink or shower until the water is hot. Also it's a pain in the rear end to install if your toilet is not immediately adjacent to your sink's hot water line. I have a Toto Washlet now and I agree that the worst part is going somewhere that doesn't have a bidet.

So, shopping for travel options I saw a bottle cap to turn a normal plastic bottle into a bidet. Anybody ever tried something like that? Also, that one is comically overpriced and I feel like I could just awl a hole into a normal bottle with cap for the same effect.

I paid about £8 I think, which is a lot for a lump of plastic with holes but also I would not be able to build it myself. I think it works well enough, though I am not always successful at not having any water leave the tip before the bottle is squeezed. That might be a skill issue, but I am unsure.

I've had the base tushy since right before the tp shortage. It has developed a minor crack in it, but still works. The pressure and very cold water in the coldest month of winter was hard to get used to but once we did we loathe going without it. (Several of our friends we stay at also have bidets thankfully) I do believe I will one day get a $2k Japanese super toilet, or at least a minor upgrade. I rarely use more than 3 squares of tp per session but my wife still uses a ton to dab her lady bits. E: My tip would be really mess with the install to get a good firing angle and upgrade your seat hardware to secure it, or get one built into the lid that hits the angle better, because the aftermarket ones can drift after 100 sits or so and be at a bad angle and that's been my only frustration. ^Like I can set the angle but moving it towards or away from the tank in the groved hole Quaint Quail Quilt fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Sep 3, 2024 |

How do they actually work though? Is the water soapy? It doesn't seem to me that just shooting water at your butt hole is really going to clean things. Do you like, reach down there and scrub with soap? Also, as a girl I would be worried that butt hole water might get too close to my vulva and cause a vaginal infection. The whole thing seems a little iffy to me. Yeah, toilet paper does not do an adequate job. Agreed. But hand held shower heads and some soap are pretty decent for spot cleaning as needed. Can someone explain how a bidet is better than washing in the shower? Or is a quick spot clean in the shower still the better option?

"While washing your hands with just water can remove a significant amount of dirt and bacteria, it is not considered effective enough to remove 99% of germs; to achieve that level of cleanliness, you need to use soap alongside water while washing your hands properly" I will tell you this, even after using tp and wet wipes the bidet would remove whatever is left over, you could test this yourself if you use one. Basically the same as the shower, once you get used to it you can crank the pressure up to max and I don't believe any soap would be able to cling to anything for more than half a second at that pressure. My wife loves it and uses it on her lady parts from time to time This totally negates the tp saving abilities of a bidet!

Quaint Quail Quilt posted:This totally negates the tp saving abilities of a bidet! It is to be noted, using a bidet can completely eliminate the need for TP. Consider using washable hand towels to dry your now 99%clean bottom, and switch them out every few uses or if you weren't as clean as you thought you were. Have a hamper specifically for those towels if you've never used washable diapers and have a bit of an ick about it. Stop using TP.

Don't know how they engineered it but mine is on target 100% of the time. Just bullseye every single time. Quite amazing. Stop smearing poo poo all over your butt like a heathen and join the revolution.

The superiority of the Toto Washlet cannot be overstated. Sadly I will need to replace my entire toilet to install such a thing, because my toilet is some square piece of loving poo poo spec'd by an interior designer rather than someone with the faintest idea of what human arses look like, but it is a goal for me.

If you're still having issues somehow, buy the high end rear end paper 9000 ply Ultra whatever stuff. It'll take forever to use up a whole bag when you have a bidet anyways.

I'm not sure that anyone expects to be able to eat someone's rear end after a bidet wash. They are not meant to entirely eliminate bacteria. It's just to remove the residual poop/pee, not sterilize your downstairs. Usually you can adjust the jet so you aren't getting both anus and urethra in one. Often the fancier ones (like $200+) have a "front" and "back" setting so that you only hit the parts you want. The advantage over a shower is that you don't need to get fully naked and use a towel every time you poo poo, which I imagine is great if you poop multiple times a day. Also it uses a lot less water.

It sprays water into my gaping rear end in a top hat, OP. For content: I have a LUXE Bidet NEO 120’s in each bathroom in my house since it’s required for *cultural reasons*. I think they cost like $40 each, install in 10 minutes, and are still working fine two years in. So not sure what the benefit of a more expensive one is?

I feel like lately I'm not getting a totally clean wipe at the end. Should I increase intensity, or duration or spray? Angle? More testing is in order If you go full force, don't you end up with more water splattering under the seat?

I got a $400 toto bidet and its among the best things i own. My undercarriage is positively glistening and no longer am i concerned about the peanut butter through shag carpet situation i had going on previously. Sometimes if theres a really turgid turd ill use the heated water on light pressure mode to help glide that little turtle out his shell.

The point of my bidet is not to save toilet paper. It is to avoid walking around with poo poo rubbed into your skin like it's lotion. Wipe with paper, activate bidet, squirm back and forth and side to side to clean the entire area, dab with paper to dry.
