I Bought a Bidet!

And I love it!  I've seen people talking about bidets since the great toilet paper shortage of 2020 but I've always been kind of squeamish to try one.  Even in Japan where all of my friends have bidets in their homes, I never gave it a try because I was afraid I would hit the water button and the water would hit the ceiling or something!

A week ago I saw this one on sale on Amazon then after perusing this subreddit, I was finally convinced to buy one.  I figured if I hated it, at least I would only be out $25.  Hubby and I installed it earlier today and I tried it and it works great--all of your nether regions come out squeaky clean--but if you aren't sitting on the toilet and you turn the water on it definitely will shoot across the room!

I am now looking forward to using lots less toilet paper (maybe even none according to some people who posted about their bidets?) going into the future!

  1. If my bottom is wet, I still want it dry. How do you dry your bottom after a bidet spray? Is the water cold when it hits your bottom? Congratulations on a great deal.

    1. I put a stack of old wash cloths next to the toilet to dry off with then just wash them with the white towels that I use some bleach with. Also, although the water is cold you don't really notice it being cold for some reason (maybe because your mind is focused on the whole spraying thing?)

    2. Many bidets come with a small heater/fan, that dries you off after. We have one of those, that works well. I still prefer a little TP, but the kids use none.

    3. Now that I've seen how well this simple bidet works, I may need to string for a fancy one like you have!

  2. Don't you still need TP to dry off though?

    1. I think a lot of people don't like the idea of a bidet but once they try them they are sold!
