Have you used a bidet? Do you have one in your home? Do you like it?

Question

I am curious. I have never used one but they seem like a better cleaning experience. Are there different kinds you would recommend? Auto toilet seat?

Quigly · Accepted Answer

Yes, They are life changing and well worth it. I have no idea why some have an aversion to them. I guess Some people don't wash their hands afterward either. It's like they are totally against hygiene, Don't listen to the stinky haters.

I have a toto with the automatic seat. It's one of the more expensive ones. It has a built in water heater and a heated seat. It really spoils your ass, you never want to use another toilet or sit on a cold seat again.

You don't really need one with all those features. I have used some with just the cold water. It's not as bad as you think it would be. But, I would at least get one that includes the seat to go along with the device since they are usually designed to slide off when you push a button for easier cleaning.

If you get one through your local plumbing supplier they will likely get better service from the manufacturer if any warranty issues come up later on. I haven't really had any problems with mine. It's been very reliable and I have had it for about 4 years approx.

Had one before , used it once and never again... doesn't get you clean , just wet and you need to release yourself after

The cheapest is just a diaper sprayer that hooks up to your toilet, but they also have ones that hooks up to your sink faucet so you can get warm water. They can be found on Amazon for less than $30 and are simple to hook up without needing a plumber and everything you need is included in the box.

All the bathrooms in every personal real estate property I own have high-tech bidets. Aside from us, our guests love 'em. We no longer wonder why some of our guests spend a little more time in our guest bathrooms.

I love having a bidet even tho I still use toilet paper too

bowenw · Answer

Yes, I love my Toto. The flow of water can be set from very low to quite strong. The water temperature can be set to a temperature you like as can the seat temperature. It does an excellent job of cleaning with settings for oscillation and pulsing. The warm-air drying is also a nice feature so only a small amount of toilet paper is required, primarily to double-check that everything is clean and to make drying quicker. The auto-opening seat is included with the better ones, as are presets for two users to automatically set the wand position, water pressure, and temperature. Auto-flush is a nice add-on. If you're remodeling a bathroom have the electrician add an outlet near the toilet so you can add one at a later date. They use the same water supply line as the toilet.

My aunt and uncles house, which was they designed and built, is the only private home I've seen in the USA with a bidet. Of course I haven't been in every bathroom from sea to shining sea!

My second home in Panama has an appliance which serves the same function:

Have you used a bidet? Do you have one in your home? Do you like it?

The nice thing about this setup is having full control of the water temperature. The ladies like it (for a variety of reasons).

My wife and I were good friends with an older couple. They passed away a few years ago in their early 90s. He had been a successful contractor and custom built their house.
They had a special toilet in their master bedroom and insisted that we try it. You pushed a button and a jet of water shot onto your private parts. Then another button caused a jet of warm air to dry you off. It was quite an, ahem, exhilarating experience. I don't mean arousing. Just, I don't know, surprising? I think it's something you would have to get used to. LOL

Several years ago, I was staying at a small hotel in Belgium. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom and this funny looking extra handle. I played with it and it shot water straight up at me. I had never seen a bidet before, but finally figured out how to use it.

We don't have one and I haven't used one since that time in Belgium.

I have seen videos for them, including very fancy Japanese toilets that wash and rinse your behind and play music.

We do have slow-closing toilet seats in our bathrooms... and we'll stick to toilet paper.

HawkPerception · Answer

I've always thought that washing my ass in the shower was much cleaner than just wiping with toilet paper and bidets are much closer to that experience with water. Just using toilet paper doesn't get all the shit out of your ass, especially when you don't have a mirror to see wtf is going on down there. I have not used a bidet in my life, but if I had a choice, I would definitely use that over a toilet, especially for diarrhea lmao.

purplepoppy · Answer

I've never tried one but I imagine it takes a bit of practice to get the jet to hit the hole, bums come in different sizes after all. Then does it blast it? Or just wet it so it drips off or spreads everywhere? Does it clean inside the rectum or is the jet not that powerful? Is the water freezing cold or boiling hot? If I face the other direction can I have a good time?

msc545 · Answer

I have one sitting in the hallway in the box it came in, that I bought and never installed as my plumbing skills are shitty (pun intended). I was going to have a plumber install it except that would cost $250 and the bidet cost $80. I can buy a lot of toilet paper for $ 250. This is a very good example of a very stupid purchase.

tomtom05131 · Answer

I’ve used them in Japan and China. I don’t see the big deal about them and they don’t scrub you clean so you’d still need to use your hand. Especially after a sticky beer shit. I’ll just stick to toilet paper.

The worst is third world places (India, Mexico, China, etc) that just have a hole in the ground and many times no paper. Worst than a construction site porta-john.

Fireguy17 · Answer

No I haven't, I would have to look up how to use one.
I think it is kind of like a pressure washer for your butt hole.
Not sure if you let the water do the work, or if you have to in there and do some scrubbing while it shoots water up your business.

Oigit · Answer

I have not used one. I would hope they don't have a super high powered setting. Because I would just want my butt cleaned and not my entire intestinal tract.

beernbacon69 · Answer

All I know is my dog loves mine since she doesn't have to sneak water out of the toilet bowl now.

Ok, just kidding... I bought one and was kind of hesitant at first, but once I got used to it TP along just doesn't cut it anymore. I feel way cleaner after using the bidet.

ohshee · Answer

Huh? What? Omg unless you read the packaging wrong I thought that was a Brita water fountain opps. Shhhh

exitseven · Answer

yes, my father had one in his new bathroom. I tried it a few times. It would be good if you had irritation "down there". He had one from Mr. Bidet. This was 20 years ago.

matchrestore · Answer

I just used one lol. I bought one back in January 2020 (before the great toilet paper shortage). It's a life changer. I've never felt so clean.

dragoblack · Answer

I honestly love mine, they are super worth it. you don't have to worry about using up a ton of toilet paper, you don't have to worry about having to constantly wipe for 5 minutes because of that kind of poop consistency, & it saves a ton of money, especially with toilet paper prices going up. still need to wipe your butt with toilet paper though, you just need very little of it.

Miristheiss · Answer

I know what they are but no, I've never encountered one in real life.  Is the water heated or does it come out ice cold?

Mangospacho · Answer

Oh yes. They are very effective. I used it in someone else’s house but I would never get one for my own house because I know the kids would treat it like a fountain and make a giant mess.

InventorofWarp · Answer

The fuck am I looking at? Is that water supposed to go in my ass?

Bidets are awesome. So much cleaner than toilet paper. It's fun to aim for the butthole too. And cuts down on toilet paper use significantly.
