Now I understand the hype.

This is something I’ve been wanting to do for years honestly. As you all know, here in America we wipe with cheeseburgers and bald eagles. But I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve heard or read someone extolling the virtues of the bidet, usually from a European or a converted ‘Murcan.

So I finally decided it was time…began reading product reviews, found a brand new one for cheap on an auction site but…I misjudged the fit for my particular toilet. So that one had to go back in the box. Ended up going to a local store for one because I didn’t feel like waiting any longer and I could judge the fit with my own eyes.

Got one, brought it home, installed it, and…well friends I don’t know if buttholes believe in heaven, but if they do mine surely thinks it’s died and gone there. It’s not one of the super luxury models with the remote and smartphone app, but it’s got warm water, a seat warmer, and a warm air dryer. I’m hooked. In fact when I’m at work I now get annoyed that I don’t have access to it.

I now count myself among the converted. I’ve never felt so pampered.

Whenever I travel now it suuuuucks. I bring baby wipes (and don’t flush them), but nothing can match my geyser throne.

Get yourself a HappyPo.

I’m stealing that term. 😂

[-] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Just bring a portable bidet! Essentially just a water bottle with a nozzle on it. Works well and fits in my backpack easily.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 3 hours ago

the warm water is the only necessity. I've used those cold water bidets at midnight in winter in Minnesota. The shriek woke up the entire damn hostel.

[-] teolan@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago

I bought a 35€ one that is just a jet of cold water you have to aim yourself. I don't find the coldness to be an issue at all. And now I essentially don't need to wipe anymore.

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Why am I reminded of this….

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 hours ago

I don't think I can ever go back to not having one

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 hours ago

I miss having a bidet so much. You don't know what youre missing until you do

[-] felixwhynot@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

I got mine from Costco. Was like $99. Worth every penny!

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 10 points 8 hours ago

Don’t leave us in the dark! What model did you get?!

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one thinking this.

[-] ladicius@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago

I also warn people all the time about bidets: You instantly and irreversibly get ~~addicted~~ hooked after first use.

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago

Nothing like a sparkling clean asshole you could eat off of.

[-] nocturne@slrpnk.net 27 points 11 hours ago

I installed one 3 or 4 years ago. I went with the nozzle on a hose type.

Congrats on the clean starfish.

I laughed way too hard at this!!!

[-] HubertManne@piefed.social 11 points 10 hours ago

so jelly. I have wanted one forever. what did you end up getting? When I was doing better I was intent on doing it but sorta had decision paralysis.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

i have an old Biobidet i got a few decades ago. it was a few hundred bucks but has a hot water tank on the side of the toilet. gotta get one with warm/heated water.

our house is basically set up that the bathrooms attached to bedrooms have warm water bidets (washlets technically) and the other bathrooms have simple cold bidets.

[-] Pronell@lemmy.world 19 points 9 hours ago

LuxeBidet is the model I got.

Totally entry level, hooks up to the water supply to the toilet tank. No heat or special features, stupid easy to install. Price around $50.

To my mind, no need to go more expensive until you know more what you might want.

I do have an aunt and uncle who got an expensive toilet bidet unit with heated seat and all the features... after having tried my bidet while visiting.

Plus with the cheap unit you get the bonus of hearing the startled yelps of your uninitiated guests as cold water hits their asshole for the first time.

[-] Buffalobuffalo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 minutes ago

Depending on bathroom layout you can also spray off the curtains for a quick in-place cleaning. This post sponsored by Luxe-gang.

[-] DarkPassenger@lemmy.world 9 points 9 hours ago

I installed luxebidets during covid. Still working great. My wife and I both work in hospitals and didn't have time to fight the crowd for TP.

[-] shittydwarf@piefed.ca 10 points 9 hours ago

Dude I got a cheap $40 or $50 one from Amazon years ago that just sprays cold water and it's glorious. It doesn't matter which one you get, you just gotta get that water on your butt hole!

[-] Ydna@lemmy.world 9 points 10 hours ago

Worthy upgrade. There's some good YouTube comparisons too. I'm kinda surprised that Lowes and HD don't carry more brands in stock, seems mine an untapped part of the market.

[-] protist@retrofed.com 9 points 9 hours ago

Lowe's and HD suck ass, and not in the good way

[-] Buffalobuffalo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 minutes ago

HD guys in aprons very rarely do the courtesy of a reach around. Shout out to Barry at the paint counter.

[-] pipikia@lemmy.zip 7 points 10 hours ago

Good choice. I've been using mine for much longer and have converted a few visitors as well.

Now, for maximum comfort during the evacuation process, the next step is a full squat platform (lilipad good, squatty potty bad). The advantages of the platform are subtle but measurable. Ideally you want one that sits below the knobs of the bidet, so it is more likely you'll want to DIY.

[-] trxxruraxvr@lemmy.world 6 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Why is squatty potty bad? I only know them from their ads in youtube

[-] lime@feddit.nu 1 points 21 minutes ago

whoof, that was a lot worse than the headline made it seem. i "received" csam last month when some shithead kiwifarms wannabe spammed it all over lemmy and i had to report the guy on multiple instances. edwards was part of an online sa gang.

[-] litchralee@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 hours ago

but it's got warm water

A person of high standards! A fine luxury indeed!

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
