Who’s got one? Basic or enhanced? Who’s used one but can’t do it? Who’s gone to one and now can’t live without?

Maybe you went to Europe and felt that much hygienically refreshed and now are a lifelong bidet-er. Let’s hear it.

I personally love them.

I can install one of these blindfolded - it’s connecting an adapter that runs to the unit from the water line to the tank. Most electrical units run off battery. Cmon now. Wrench and screwdriver job.

I am in a tight spot and not a lot of room there and no electric closeby
So when you say battery - yes that is good to know - going to have to consult my friend at Chat GPT :)….. If it’s an a battery I can handle that but relocating outlet, that’s beyond my skill level.

Also I’m talking the whole toilet to just a seat if that matters.

Either way it’s not well advertised on these bidet sites and I’ve had 2 plumbers turn down the job.
 
I started considering a high-end toilet back in Covid because the price of TP was ridiculous and more importantly, there was no supply in the stores. That’s a tough thing to run out of. I finally pulled the trigger about 6 months ago when I found out I needed shoulder surgery on my dominant arm. I bought a Woodbridge from Amazon, ran a new gfc outlet up the wall from my basement, and installed it by myself. It was very easy. I can say, without a doubt, it was a great investment. I can set the water temp, seat temp, it has night lights, the cover raises when I approach (a secondary foot tap on the side raises the seat), it has the dryer, a foaming agent for cleaning, and a nice remote control. My friends laugh at me but the jokes on their dirty, smeared, azzes.
 
I have 3 VoVo’s just the add on replacement seats. About $300 each and you need an outlet GFI. Warm seat warm water. The metal connection piece screws right to the tank. There is no big arm on this so it looks normal. The remote mounts on the wall and is WiFi connected. Installation a breeze.
I was a skeptic but my wife has some stomach issues and I must say it’s very very good and we would not be without them. I’m sold.
Now for the technique. Wait, I will hold details on that unless asked but it’s a double wash and a Secura foam dispense in between. We’re talking Mr. Clean.
So I asked my wife if she had to choose between the VoVo and me what would she choose. She says “for how long ?”. I said a month. She says “see you in a month”.

Doesn’t make a bit of difference to me, pal. Enjoy smearing your feces all over yourself.

Dude, you don’t touch yourself (to dry) until you’ve already turned it off. Dirty hands don’t need to touch it ever. Also, the whole point is there isn’t feces to be smeared because it was rinsed off.
 
I bought one for my elderly parents, was awkward (i'm sure you can all imagine) they were like wth is this, but they like it when they realized what it was. My Mother will not allow an install in guest bathroom which is bullshit! It sucks to poop without one once you have it. "Biggest no brainer in history".

Post of the year so far for 2025.

Yeah, TMI for sure but that's my biggest question. How often are you getting your hand involved?

Is the standard two rinses then done ? - Maybe a post bidet test wipe with toilet paper and then you have a decision to make?
Seems like there should be a mirror or camera feature so that you can see if it worked to one's standard.

P.S. - Came on here looking for UConn players in summer league info, hopefully not ironic that ended up talking about $chit stains!
 
If you’ve got the right angle, you can get a good 8-10 second blast. Then a cursory wipe. Wipe is probably 5% poo, 95% water.

On a serious note what brands have the best drying function? I don't need to finish and have to use tp or a towel to dry everytime. Sure every once in awhile a manual dry is acceptable.

I won’t go into too many details other than to say:
  • it’s super important to find Main Street so get one with stroke and adjustability.
  • I always use 3 tp folds after just to check. But there’s never anything there.
  • takes a week or two to find bum position and where to shift to.
  • dryer dries a bit but it’s not mission critical since I’m checking with the 3 folds.

Can’t say whose dryer is best. The one I have is able to adjust the heat so as not to scorch the ruff.
They are not that expensive, relatively, but I have no idea of longevity. You’ll never have fear of colonoscopies, shoulder surgery, Covid, too many Rolling Rocks with dirt wings while praying for the vanilla ice cream to kick in, etc. To each his own. I’d guess that Reibe probably has one, being from Europe, and Furphy uses his roommates shirt. Dude ain’t soft.
 
I have basic ones from Amazon. Oddly enough, after returning from Phoenix in '24 post-Final Four, my high school buddy I stayed with on the last day had them all throughout his condo. I immediately went and bought a few for my place. Cleaner bum and far less TP. I believe they were called Samodra.
 
Did this just get moved to Home & Garden? And we’re not talking MSG. Apparently forum owner thinks all this manure talk should be spread into the garden to fertilize the tomatoes.

Reread the thread, pal. I’m on Team Bidet.

Good for you I guess, but personally, when it comes to dropping a deuce, or cleaning up afterwards, I cannot view teamwork as something that I would want to be a part of

There’s no I in Poo

After I read this thread it inspired me to follow through and buy one.

Finding a plumber hardest part of it. Paid $700 for install and $400 for unit that came with heated seat/water/dryer etc. remote control and lighted - looks quite modern.

All I can say is that I feel stupid for not getting this earlier.

No more toilet paper, and it’s other obvious benefits of being clean vs just wiping stuff around LOL No one in my house is not thrilled with it - and I’ve got some that were dead against it.

IMO is a “no brainer” based on the cost/technology now available - smart toilet Loupusuo $399

I too was a non believer until I tried one. Now I own 3. The electrician part is costly though.
 
Easiest and cheapest bidet I have found, is an adjustable shower head.
Set it to power massage, and aim it in the right direction.
