Bought a bidet a few weeks ago

[Angie]

Plus European bidets are often different from Japanese Washlets. I'd suggest a Washlet. They are electronic and often have features such as seat warmers, water heaters, front and back jets, as well as air dryers. My buddy when he lived in Japan claimed that the local women were known to ummmm...really like them.

That's amazing - the air dryer would be the part that would be awesome, because (this is a little TMI, sorry) women have spent their entire lives trying NOT to be... moist, to use a disgusting but accurate word. I am dying at the thought of women flushing the toilet over and over to get off.

Since this seems to be an appropriate place to put this, whilst in the middle of the toilet paper debacle a few months ago, out of necessity I discovered this product to wipe my arse. It’s a wonderful, wonderful product. It has made me wonder what kind of disaster was going on down there prior to it’s discover.

Be careful. Despite the packaging, plumbers will tell you they are NOT flushable. I got stuck with a several hundred dollar plumbing bill because the women in my house were flushing...ummm...products that were advertised to be flushable.

I've had my bidet for about a year. Combined with the squatty potty, my poop game has never been better!

I experienced this several years with little JM was in diapers still. Wipes are not flushable. I have a top secret way of removing them from the house in a sanitary manner.

When I went to Japan a few years ago I was weirded out at first. Then after a few glasses of bourbon I thought I'd try it out. Mother of God. I haven't been able to stop talking about them since. It would be a pain in the ass to get one hooked up in our townhouse but my fiance already knows our next house will have one. They are soooo nice!

I had mine installed in probably 25 minutes, and I’m not a handyman much at all. I did have to drill a small hole into the bottom sink cabinet so I could connect the hot water, so that’s part of my deposit I’m not going to get back, but totally worth it.

My wife literally installed one in our house yesterday. I haven't gotten the courage to use it yet.

They are DEATH on septic tanks.

He’s not wrong. But I’ve got one you connect with your sink to be able to have warm water.

So........basically you have a hose?

Yep. Supply line is the source of water and will be just as pure as the water coming from your faucet. Which goes to a nozzle that is fixed on the target area. You determine the amount of water force with a dial control. Bidets are great.

When you clean your car do you rub things off with a dry rag? Or do you use a hose or power washer?

 

[Cycho1]

Tell you what, America really screwed the pooch by not embracing them. My ******* has never felt cleaner and fresh.

Which brand/model did you purchase?

I mean, the hose connects to the control panel.

We ordered a Tushy bidet and got the option for the attachment to a warm water source. Cold water plumbs into the normal water for a toilet, warm water requires close proximity to a sink. It works great, the only thing I wish it had was a small air dryer similar to the ones in Japan.

My father-in-law has two. They are great. The first time I used it I couldn't stop laughing the sensation was...surprising. I saw one advertised at the Ankeny Menards for $999. I may have to collect some beer cans to pay for it but I am seriously thinking about it. Besides, my wife doesn't like me running outside bareassed to use the garden hose. Oh, it was cute at first but when I had to pay for a tall privacy fence the cuteness went away.

To get off? I'm confused does the bidet propel them up off the seat? Why can't they just stand up like they do on a regular toilet?

I travel internationally a lot so I've given them a try, but I'm not a fan. The issue is you are all wet after and I ended up using TP after anyway which seemed to defeat the purpose. I either don't drip dry very fast or I'm not patient enough to sit there.

The Japanese version with a blow drier, joystick to aim things, temperature control of the water, heated seat etc are better. Although the first time I got to my hotel after a long flight, walked into the room, took a seat and noticed the seat was warm I'll admit it freaked me out a little.

You laugh but this is exactly what is provided in most India bathrooms (and that's if you are lucky).

I think she meant sexually. And depending on the angle of the bidet, I could very much see that being able to happen for some women.

Were you thinking -Oh my god, who was just sitting on this toilet!

I could, too - but I would just think you'd need to flush several times to achieve anything? IDK.
