I had an inexpensive one for a few weeks. It made the toilet seat wobble but I could live with that. However, it did not spray where it was supposed to, it often sprayed the underside of the seat (causing mold to grow there), and it also often sprayed out between the seat and the rim leaving a nice mist on the side of the vanity. I would like to try another one but I can’t tell if the SideDeal BioBidet one will work for my toilet. Hmm.
@brainmist I did not. That might actually have made some difference. There was not really a low setting. It went from off for the first quarter turn to really on.
I’ll have to keep that in mind for the next try. Thanks!
I had a once in a lifetime, blessing of a vacation earlier this year in Hawaii where we stayed on Waikiki beach for a couple nights of the week and a half we were out there. The condo had a bidet that also had an automatic lid (it opened as you approached). There were a ton of pressure and temperature options and I’ve never felt so spring time fresh.
@kittykat9180 Wet wipes screw up pipes, sewer and septic systems and clump into a giant mass. Unless you don’t flush them and then you’ve got a trashcan of poop wipes in your bathroom. Don’t get me wrong, wipes are awesome, they’re just not very good at getting rid of.
@kittykat9180 Ugh, handful of wet poopy wipes? Pass! And this is essentially a very directed shower, so…
After spending a week in Japan, I was really happy to install my own under-seat bidet. And I’m never going back. In fact, I’ve given bidets to friends and relatives. Slooooowly making converts to the life.
@brainmist@kittykat9180 Umm, maybe you should stay well within the tourist zones when visiting Mexico. Most of the country uses non-flushable TP. And yes, that means exactly what you think it means.
@kittykat9180@werehatrack I’ll adapt to whatever my options are… but in my own home? Yeah, I’m going with what works well and least involves touching feces.
I got a Bio Bidet (not this model) in 2017. I had to get an electrician to put an outlet next to the toilet for it. It has been an awesome upgrade. Up front costs are a little expensive, but I highly recommend if you have the means.
@pooflady The one that I have has a separate setting for the ladies. I’ve never timed the drying cycle. Maybe a minute? Two minutes? If I’ve finished my magazine article, I can turn it off…or it turns off if I stand up. I don’t have the one that’s on sale here, today, but if I were giving advice, I’d suggest buying one with the most features. Each one is useful.
I’ve had a bidet for over a decade, and it’s a life-changer. It’s so good, that I always sit through two cycles. It not only does the job it was designed to do, it FEELS good, too.
What’s a bidet? Is that like a debit?
@hchavers A bit like a debit, but partly in reverse.
A bi-det is outdated, thought politically correct.
I have a tri-det.
What do bidets and Krabby Patties have in common?
The only people who don’t like them have never tried one!
Geez, can’t you have a foot fetish or something, like every other creepy bot?
Had one in my previous home. In 15 years, used it once. Don’t miss it.
I literally asked Meh.com for this!! In the last two weeks.
Terrific!
(But I need to measure to make sure they fit)

@cf1 Did you try adjusting your water valve to change the pressure?
@brainmist I did not. That might actually have made some difference. There was not really a low setting. It went from off for the first quarter turn to really on.

@cf1 Ahaha oh yes, I am familiar with
Yeah, you should be able to have a gradient pressure. That will also prevent feeling like you’ve had a fully conscious colonoscopy.
Oh! And it was impossible to clean around.
@cf1 The decent ones have a pushbutton release for cleaning.
@blaineg Yes, I did notice that upon further searching of internet. I think Costco has one like that. It is 90 dollars, though.

I don’t understand how spraying my booty is going to get it clean. A nice scrub with wet wipes suits me fine, or, better yet, a shower afterward.

MEALS! DEALS! EELS! AWESOME!

Bidet’s are great, but you don’t need to spend this much to get some quality extra cleaning down below.
What about for women, for front washing. Is it a good thing? And what about warm air drying? How long does that take?

@pooflady Eh, I just angle a bit. It’s like peeing outdoors. Tilt your pelvis.

I have one. It’s still in the box from when I I got it in one of the Irks. Sigh…
@chienfou And they originated in France, didn’t they?
@Kyeh
yeah, and they were a separate piece of bathroom equipment… not an attachment to your toilet.
@chienfou Oh, yeah - the first time I tried one was in a fancy Paris hotel! (I got to stay in those a few times long ago …)
