Buying a bidet today

[slag]

Looks like this one has good reviews. I don't have a hot water source running to my toilet and its in a far corner of the master bath in its own area with a door, so cold water will have to do. I recently saw a few stories, one on reddit, that talked about the unflushable wet wipe problem and the issues its having with town sewer systems. Going to give it a try and if I don't like it, its only $35.00.

Anyone here use one regularly? I imagine it will cut down on TP use as well for us. I'm not sure I can get my sons sold on it so for now, it will be a master bathroom thing.

I've always assumed that bidets and wet wipes were exclusively used by people that like to engage in.. hmm.. how to put this.. recipients of "butt stuff" on the regular.

I used to make fun of my sibbling that had it at their house til I got one. It's one of those things you don't think you need til you get it - kinda like memory foam mattress. Save tp and reduce or eliminate skid marks. You know what I'm talking about when you encounter one of those time when you use up half a roll of tp and still can't eliminate the pesky Klingons.

I bought that same one 3 yrs ago. It's not bad except the fake chrome on the knob got wrinkled and started flaking out after a couple years so I tossed it out and replaced with another. It does the job but getting hit with cold water in winter isn't cool either. I've since moved on to higher end models...even had an outlet put in behind the toilet when we redid the master bathroom to plug in one of them Japanese style electronic one. The one we got heat the water, auto clean the nozzles, adjust nozzle location, blows drying air, heated seat and all that jazz.

I haven't put one it in my sons' bathroom yet to avoid the "Hey look, Dad put a water gun with unlimited ammo inside the toilet!!! Woot!". Maybe when they're older.

Ever take a nasty poo and no matter how many wipes with TP, you still dont feel clean? This is where a bidet shines. You dont have to be gay recipient to need a bidet.

No one really NEEDS a bidet but they are pretty efficient and convenient for what they're used for (properly used for). I don't have one but there is a vacation home we go to a couple times a year that has one and it always makes me wonder why all homes don't have these in them.

Also, taking a shower after you take a nasty poo isn't really a good solution. It's a waste of water and damned inconvenient.

The top two threads are about washing produce and bidets. WTF has happened to this place?!?!?!?


This thread is now about waffles and porn.

I got a waffle bowl maker recently. It's pretty awesome actually.

This seems like something that someone who enjoys receiving butt stuff but is too embarrassed about it to admit it would say.

You know what else you can do to feel clean? Eat a reasonable diet & shit like a proper human.

I can assure you that the more fiber, veggies, beans, dried fruit I eat, the messier the bowel movement becomes. Coupled with a healthy amount of buttcrack hair; well have you ever tried to wipe chunky peanut butter from a shag rug? The bidet keeps you from burning through a roll of TP per poo event.

Oh, I don't know. I eat a reasonable diet, but am slightly lactose intolerant. I recently bought a 5 lb tub of whey protein that my son and I are going through and it give me the shits. I'll probably go egg protein next time, but until then, its poop and fart season. Besides, the healthier you eat, the messier it is. It's just life.

I'm sure if you picked up a dog turd from a dog who ate a proper and reasonable diet with your bare hands you would just use some paper towels to clean them, right?

It arrived, I put it aside, and forgot about it until last night. Had to get another water line from the toilet to the shutoff valve as the one attached was a solid piece of metal that didn't flex, and I needed one of the flexible braided ones. At any rate, got it installed, tried it out.. wow, that was cold.

Woke up this morning, tried it again, not bad at all. Feels good to be ultra clean.

This seems like something that someone who doesn't understand the importance of anal hygiene and the value of properly cleaning oneself would say.

I moved to Italy in 2007. It takes getting used to, the use of a bidet. They are pretty much a standard bathroom item here. Although they are the separate item, not integrated in the actual WC. Hot and Cold water available. Once you get the habit to use one, cleaning with TP alone just doesnt feel like the job is done correctly.
If I ever move back to the states, I will be sure to include one in all bathrooms.

Actually I have an impeccable track record of having a non-infected, clean butthole. I've literally never had a problem. Thanks for your concern though.

So we can stop this nonsense about being gay if you use bidet or if you wash your ass after you do your thing.

Make a little test: Smear a poop all over your face. Half of face wipe with toilet paper. The other half wash with water and soap. And after you do that, tell me what is feeling better.

I have no idea what the connotation between bidet use and homosexuality is. Either we are being trolled or a one particular poster in this thread has a nonsensical understanding of what a bidet is.

The bidet is so you can clean yourself BETTER than using paper alone. As in washing it with soap and water. You get far less skid marks if you have a bidet. There is absolutely no way you could ever argue that an asshole wiped with merely toilet paper after a dump is cleaner than one actually washed with soap & water. I wipe with TP first to knock off the heaviest crud and then finish up in the bidet.

Another positive: bidets get rid of dingleberries whereas toilet paper seems to create and enlarge them. Women on their period can wash the vagina frequently and maintain hygiene instead showering once daily.

Oh I'm not saying that TP is better. I'm saying that TP is sufficient if you are otherwise hygenic.
