@Telanis@ThoR294 You could always hook it up to the hot water line or buy a dual temperature one but honestly it’s not as bad as you think.
I’ve had one long before they became popular during the pandemic and I live in the northeast so it gets freezing here and 30 second blast isn’t bad at all plus it dries quickly or instantly if you use toilet paper to dry
@Telanis@ThoR294 Strange as it may seem to one who has never used such a device, you don’t have many temperature sensitive nerves in the nether region.
Cold water from a bidet isn’t anything like the shock to your system stepping into a cold shower would be. Just the opposite. It is in fact rather pleasant and refreshing. You, your underwear and clothing will be cleaner, and you will use far, far less toilet paper.
@haydesigner my sister said that the first time she came over after I first installed mine and said I’ll never use that thing.
By the end of the night she had asked where to buy it so I’m guessing she tried it and liked it.
I have two daughters so I bought the one that cleans front and back and they also say the same, They still claim they done use it but I often find the settings changed so I can assume I’ve won arleasf three people over so far
I was laughing my butt off (pun intended) when everyone was fighting over toilet paper and I was enjoying my butt squirter. I don’t think I’ve used a full roll of TP since early 2020. Well, maybe to blow my nose.
@blaineg@danexton@macromeh That metaphor kinda makes sense, i guess, cuz if it were reversed, you’d need a firehose to get rid of that relentless day-glo dingleberry!
This thing is a life saver especially forthose of us with disabilities and shoulder problems that make it hard to clean upand the elderly wholve tried to use those stupid sticks that can’t even hold a single sheet without it falling out I missed it so much when I was in the hospital for two weeks those poor nurses had to help me clean up I actually ordered one and sent it too my hospital room but they wouldn’t let me install it
I’ve been using one since probably 2016 and haven’t looked back.
Only downside is they often break within a year or two so buy at least two to have an extra one handy when the first one breaks
I dislike how they put a red dot on the handle. It implies that the water will be warm. But it’s no fun when you’re expecting a nice warm stream and then suddenly you get you booty hole blasted with freezing cold water.
@Bumplepimp Water pressure makes the nozzle extend outward to spray. You should still use toilet paper like a normal dirty-butt person to dry off afterwards, but you use far less and you walk away with a cleaner behind.
Think about it… if you got chocolate on your hand, would just wipe it off and call it clean, or would you prefer to run your hand under the sink?
So how exactly does this eliminate the need for toilet paper?
After you blast your ass with a stream of cold water are you expected to just stand up, musculus sphincter ani dripping wet, and pull up your pants and move on with your life with a wet crack as if nothing is wrong?
@Trinityscrew this really was a humorous comment. the only was it would have been funnier was if you were in front of me saying it. not a normal everyday comment you hear.
@Trinityscrew I usually use the guest towel, but most use a dedicated hand towel. What do you do after a shower - just jump into your clothes without drying off? Do you dry your hands after washing, or do you just plunge them into your pockets?
Remember, there is a fundamental difference between smearing your crack with dry paper and actually washing things down there. Running water actually leaves you clean.
@rpstrong You wipe your wet ass with a guest towel? Eww. Just… eww.
A stream of water is NOT going to sanitize your turd cutter. If you’re going to wipe you should probably use TP.
And I’d like to point out that at least one person here appreciated their bidet because they found it difficult to reach their orifice with TP so I am guessing at least some people stay wet.
@Trinityscrew Don’t worry, I don’t have many guests.
And I actually use a dedicated hand towel, anyway.
And streaming water does a superb job of removing, not sanitizing, soil. As I mentioned in another reply, my tighty-whities bear silent testament as to the bidet’s effectiveness.
And those who can’t reach can justify paying extra for a blow-dry model.
@rpstrong@Trinityscrew I thought they were “tidy-whities”, not tighty-whities. Though looking at it, “whities” might not be a good word to casually throw around these days.
@Trinityscrew I use tp to dry (and make sure that my cheap Meh bidet did its job) which uses about 10% of the tp I used to use. I’m probably going to get a Costco pack of cheap shop towels so that I can have a fresh butt drying towel for each trip. I’ll just keep a bin for the used towels in the bathroom and wash them on laundry day.
I was just sitting on my toilet, about to use my bidet - this exact one - when I decided to look at meh. Woo upgrades for the rest of the house. Honestly, the cold water isnt too bad in the winter, and I live in Michigan.
I stayed at my sister-in-law’s house and they had one of the cold water ones (not this brand). It’s not terrible and yeah the cold water isn’t that bad.
But since I often shop for deals, I’ve given in and bought the electric heated ones sometimes offered here (also Home Depot deal-of-the-day has good prices but only a 1-day sale sometimes). Yes, the heated is nice. One other thing is that they use an electric motor that adjusts the placement of the nozzle based on the setting and what type of orificies you have. And you can customize water pressure and temperature and seat temperature and airflow and all that stuff. Some even come with a remote control but I didn’t want that because I always lose my remotes anyway…
And my first “experience” with a magical toilet was in Japan over 20 years ago. It was in a nice hotel and I was very impressed by the magical toilet. Of course the buttons were all in Japanese only, but I figured it out.
@kostia@zhicks1987 Yeah, this is the tricky part. I’ve done a lot of amateur plumbing repairs before so I was comfortable with it. But it you’ve never worked with the “innards” of a toilet or the water valve it connects to, it might seem overwhelming. Also the valve by the wall (or floor) might be stuck if it hasn’t been touched in 10-50 years. And then you might be replacing that too, which means more plumbing work and shutting off your house water. But that’s nothing to do with this little seat thing, ANY plumbing repair can easily run you down that path so be prepared for it, to either give up and let it be, fix it yourself, or get a plumber… (which will cost a lot more than this toilet thing!)
Also read the instructions on some the “T” piece goes on the bottom where the valve to the wall is, and in other cases it goes right under the toilet tank on the other end of the host/pipe that connects it. And BTW that hose/pipe might be flexible, rigid plastic, brass tubing, i.e. a lot of different possibilities. Just touching it might mean you need to re-do that part of your toilet connection. So just be prepared for that.
Useful tip: have at least a 2-bathroom house. If you only have 1 bathroom, you will be “on the hook” for getting whatever you did fixed pronto!
@pmarin My parents’ place, built in the early 2000s, had a rigid plastic piece connecting the toilet to the supply line (instead of a standard flexible metal tube). I couldn’t believe it. Such a weird place for a builder to skimp!
I love mine so much I bought one to install in the guest bathroom at my parents’ house. I usually only stay there two weeks at a time, but I couldn’t deal with not having it. Ah, bliss.
(And the cold water is fine. It doesn’t feel cold; it’s the water that’s in the supply line, so it’s basically coming from the heated part of the house. Think of running the water in the sink; it isn’t instantly cold either.)
I got a heated seat & water one in the main bathroom which is awesome. Gonna get this for the kids bathroom where I have no power to access close by.
/giphy afraid-dramatic-astronaut
I saw people saying the unheated water was it no biggie. I want to note that here in Canada the tap water is seriously cold in winter. Typically 4C (39.2 F).
@dude@macromeh It would be a sauna in NW Ontario where 40-60 below at night is normal. And we used outhouses as no running water or electricity at those temperatures. You’d be cleaning yourself with an icicle. As it was we’d draw straws to knock over the pyramid that formed inside the outhouse.
I have stayed in some expensive hotel rooms having bidets. I finally got a Bio bidet slim twist for my home bathroom. Got a good deal at Meh.com. It arrived today. I was impressed with the fast shipping in 3 days and it could not have been packaged any better. Everything I needed was included and I had it installed in about 20 minutes. It works as good as the ones I have used in the hotels. The stream of water hits the right spot very time. Plan to put one in all my bathrooms.
I received this a couple days ago, installed it, and used it a couple times. A few notes:
If you’re, uh, ‘extra wide’ and you have a cheap thin toilet seat, you’ll probably be leaning on it a bit. (I’ve just ordered a decent one, so that should remedy it somewhat.) Also, what is with the stick-on seat bumpers that came with it, they’re like 3x as tall as they should be for the thickness of the bidet, unless you have a hollow plastic seat.
Other than those things, I quite like it. I wish I had gotten one sooner, it’s going to save me so much in TP.
I think something happened with tracking numbers. My order was delivered on Saturday in Michigan where I live. Which was surprisingly fast. I just got an email and it says my order is out for delivery and the tracking for it says Long Beach, CA.
Yeah-- I sent one to a PO, and it was delivered VERY quickly, only to not actually be there yet. With a bunch of BS that UPS doesn’t deliver to PO boxes in the detailed tracking.

@ThoR294 even my wife who is always freezing enjoys using this, even during the winter when it’s 10F outside.
The only people who say “ew” to bidets are the ones who have never tried one.
@haydesigner my sister said that the first time she came over after I first installed mine and said I’ll never use that thing.
By the end of the night she had asked where to buy it so I’m guessing she tried it and liked it.

Biden/bidet….what’s the difference?
@tweezak I agree, both the same.
@danexton @tweezak The mildest I can think of is Trump/rump.
@blaineg @danexton The bidet is what you use to clean the Biden from your Trump.

@tweezak Aww, bless your heart! Let me guess, your favorite flavor of Kool-Aid is toxic tangerine taint.

@ThyProphet
Perhaps you should take a peek now and then to make sure the bidet is working as well as you think.
@macromeh @ThyProphet My snowy white tighty-whities bear silent testimony to the bidets’ effectiveness.
@rpstrong @ThyProphet Mission accomplished!

(But forgive me if I’m a little skeptical about the silent part.
Technically, isn’t every bidet for bio purposes?

I dislike how they put a red dot on the handle. It implies that the water will be warm. But it’s no fun when you’re expecting a nice warm stream and then suddenly you get you booty hole blasted with freezing cold water.
Where the Hell does the water spray out? Just use toilet paper like a normal person…
@Bumplepimp Water pressure makes the nozzle extend outward to spray. You should still use toilet paper like a normal dirty-butt person to dry off afterwards, but you use far less and you walk away with a cleaner behind.
Think about it… if you got chocolate on your hand, would just wipe it off and call it clean, or would you prefer to run your hand under the sink?
@Bumplepimp @troy Plus … it’s not chocolate you’re trying to clean off.

If it doesn’t heat the water to just the right temp, you are in for a nasty surprise.
@adr5 Nahh-- the water in the line is typically room temperature. But even then, 10-20sec of cold water is no big deal
@adr5 @caffeineguy You must not live in a house on a slab. In the winter the water in the pipes in the concrete is mighty cold and it doesn’t warm up.
Unheated would be a torture device in our house. In winter it would probably be grounds for divorce.

How does it hook up to your water line?
@zhicks1987 It comes with a T-connector that goes between the existing toilet connection and the supply.
@kostia @zhicks1987 Yeah, this is the tricky part. I’ve done a lot of amateur plumbing repairs before so I was comfortable with it. But it you’ve never worked with the “innards” of a toilet or the water valve it connects to, it might seem overwhelming.

As I learned on our recent 10-day road trip, if you’ve grown accustomed and don’t have a bidet, it’s a badet.
