@mediocrebot Great detail and even New Year’s Eve party hats! Apparently the AI bot has developed a sense of humor.
Reminds me of the old (juvenile) joke:
Q. How do you catch a polar bear?
A. You saw a hole in the ice and ring the rim with snow peas. When the bear comes along and stops to take a pea, kick him in the ice hole.
‘Refreshing mist’ huh? I assume that’s for cooling down on hot summer days? I am a bidet user and evangelist, but a setting that gets my whole-ass ass wet is not what I’m looking for…
I’ve said it a few times on Meh, but I’ll say it again… I’ve never known anyone who used a bidet more than once to then not want one in their own home.
You don’t clean muddy hands without using water… why would you think your posterior is clean without using water?
@haydesigner I’m not against it in principle, but what if I’m sitting slightly further forward than it expects? seems like suddenly there’d be water spraying up my backside, getting my shirt wet and/or the toilet seat behind me… how do you aim with these things?
@agnesnutter@haydesigner in a decade of using one this has never happened to me once. Aiming is just moving slightly forward or back on the seat.
The closest to getting my shirt wet is when I first installed my very first one. I wasn’t sitting on it but wanted to test it out to see if it works. I thought the water would be barely more than a water fountain arc. I stood to the side and turned it on…as you might have guessed the water shot out of the toilet and across the bathroom. In hind sight makes sense, you need more than a trickle to clean up back there.
After years of use though, it’s never since that time got anything wet besides the crack of buttocks… And I’m.guessing.ladyparts too, but I’m not typically around for the lady part cleaning in the WC.
@agnesnutter The better add-on bidet seats have a little lever on the control panel, which moves the nozzle slightly forward and backward. And a little bit of bum wiggling is involved. They cost about 6X this price, but the ones at “Hello Tushy” work perfectly: https://hellotushy.com/
In 4 years of use, I have never had these spray up my back. Also, the pressure is adjustable, so the spray can be gentle or strong. If you’re unsure about the whole thing, try a $15 unit, and upgrade to a better one when you immediately realize you should have had a bidet decades ago…
@kazriko@psbales We have bidets attached to three of our four toilets for years. Though they all have hot and cold water lines, if and when I ever get around to installing one on the fourth toilet, it will be strictly cold water from the toilet supply line. It is a lot of bother to run a hot water supply line from the nearest sink and not in my opinion worth it
One is not as sensitive to temperature in that end of the alimentary canal as you are at the other end.
Cold water spray there is not the deal one would think.
I completely agree with others who really miss this appliance when must do their düdē elsewhere.
@Jackinga@kazriko@psbales Five years in and I’ve never bothered to hook up the hot water line to mine because it seems pointless. I have to run the faucet for a full minute before I get hot water so the bidet will be no better. Why deal with the install hassle and additional clutter so I can turn the hot water knob and get the same cold water?
Someday I’ll upgrade to a powered one that will heat the water itself but for now this works fine. Like others have said, I really don’t find the cold water that u pleasant for this purpose. It’s not like soaking in it or standing under a shower. It’s a strong stream in one narrow area.
I paid $20 for one & it works just fine. It sat on the back of the toilet for a couple months before I installed it. Funny find at a convenience store right off campus in the college town I live in… it seems DUDE is still in business.
Got a two pack of these. Cringy product name but works really well for the price. I like it better than another brand I have. Also, I’m far from handy but I managed to install it.
I owned a similarly simple washlet attachment for about a year before I was ready to spend hundreds on one with all the bells and whistles.
I love it, and don’t regret it, but I can assure you that in the end, heated seat, light, air-drying fan, hot-water tank, remote, two person-specific settings are all nice, but you really want water.
I bought my parents one of these mostly because they do not have an outlet near their toilet so they are stuck with the simple models. I still am relieved they own one, and absolutely hate having to take a shit anywhere but home, or their house, or my brother’s (bidet convert!).
Buy this. Learn to love them. Buy a fancier one after you can’t go back.
I got one of these on Sidedeals or somewhere and while I really like it it doesn’t clean it all. I still have to wipe after. I’ve never used one before this. I was always under the impression it was supposed to get you completely clean with no wiping.
@locolobo I have found that my buttcheeks need to be a bit on the “spread” side (I am not obese by any measure except those of the World Health Organization and the CDC ), so if my cheeks are not centered and open to being flushed, ain’t nothing gonna clean them out. With this in mind, it’s really easy for me to prepare or to adjust so that things get cleansed. Also, if you are prone to taking your phone with you whilst sitting (left the ‘h’ out there for cleanliness), you might be allowing time for things to crust up a bit, which would mean you need to let 'er flush for a while before dabbing away the water droplets when finished.
@richferg I am guessing you do not own/use one based on your comments. While your claims as to the bidet’s origin are not in dispute (mainly because I don’t care who invented the stuff I use), your “kind of useless” statement is way, way wrong. Using one, your asscrack will be much cleaner than it is, unless you only poop once a day and that’s always right before you shower.
@richferg I suppose if you always time your poop to right before you hop into the shower, and poop just the one time each day what you’re saying is correct.
Since I poop randomly sometimes, I kind of like having a clean ass.
I bought one when it was $20. I think it works great, some shifting around if you are a larger lady like myself but it works to get ya butts and bits clean
Surprisingly, to me, this got a 4.5 rating on Amazon, where it goes for 58.99.
And I agree with those who said cold only shouldn’t be a deal breaker. Even if you have the warm water, by the time the warm reaches you, you’re clean.
I got these in the two-fer offered a couple of times this year, and gifted one to each of my adult offspring and installed the others in every toilet I own, including at our camp. I was not surprised at how much I appreciate them (or better put, how much I hate it when I gotta go when there isn’t one), but I was really surprised at the effect on my hemorrhoids, which is to say that they have gone from a daily nuisance to something I never notice anymore.
I bought one last go round. I’m a skeptical of these kinda things. Old school you may say. But wow what a difference. We got rid of all those expensive sewer line clogging butt wipes all together. The money savings from this alone. You think it’s gonna be an ice cube on your hiney hole but it’s not that bad. It will raise an eyebrow if your not too used to it tho. If your on the fence. Why are you even on a fence? Stop damaging the fence and buy buy buy!
@Upallnite Yup, our TP use has gone WAAAYYY down since the Dude Wiper moved in, which would have been awesome at the start of the COVID lockdown when people were beating each other up over the stuff…

I can hear the song in my head “Gonna wipe that dude right out of my hair.”
@hchavers I don’t think Rodgers and Hammerstein were writing about butt crack hair… That time.
I hope this is not an indication of the kind of year 2024 will be

@mediocrebot that’s almost like a water boat parade…
Showed up for the “happy dude rear!” jokes. Left disappointed.
@pburgess I would look on another thread, on r/.
It’s spelled “dude” but pronounced “doodie.” Düdē.
$15? They were 2 for $20 a few months ago on MorningSave.
They’re super-basic, but they work. Great to get to see if you like the concept before you cannonball into the exciting world of butt-washing.
@psbales naked cannonballing was the original bidet.
@psbales Agree with the super basic. It works well enough, but strictly cold water. Honestly the cold water usually doesn’t bother me.

@Jackinga @kazriko @psbales Hey everyone, look at moneybags over here with 4 toilets…I imagine one of them must be on your yacht?
I paid $20 for one & it works just fine. It sat on the back of the toilet for a couple months before I installed it. Funny find at a convenience store right off campus in the college town I live in… it seems DUDE is still in business.
You selling these to flush away the old year and pooh pooh on the new?

Low key the best basic bidet I’ve owned. Really easy to clean, has high pressure if that’s your thing.
I got one of these on Sidedeals or somewhere and while I really like it it doesn’t clean it all. I still have to wipe after. I’ve never used one before this. I was always under the impression it was supposed to get you completely clean with no wiping.

@locolobo I do both. Just in case. You should worm around a little too. It helps. Loosens up the lower back as a side benifit.
These things were invented by Europeans who didn’t bathe daily. Kind of useless in US where a daily shower/bath is the norm.
