The only people who would fight you about how great bidets are are people who have never actually used one

The only people who would fight you about how great bidets are ~~are people who have never actually used one~~

Are people with dirty bums

After I going through my second ~$30 bidet. I upgraded to a ~$300 Toto bidet with heated water and seat. No regrets.

It must've feel like being blessed by the rains down in Africa

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I wonder if I could rig up a bidet that would play Africa by Toto while it washed my backside.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does that work? I don't have hot water or an outlet in my toilet room. Did you have to renovate, or was there service already?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have an electric one and just ran an extension cable. If I owned I would definitely install an outlet next to the toilet.

You didnโ€™t know you needed one until you use it. Life changing.

Love my bidet.

10/10 for squeaky clean buttholes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

If you're butthole squeaks... Please see a medical professional

I have COVID to thank for showing me the light. Never going back.

I'm probably missing the joke, but - if you're standing up, then your ass-cheeks are together.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

This has been discussed extensively on that website that we used to visit regularly. They wipe like that too. They don't stand lock-kneed. It's some sort of half squat.

Fight me.

Okay, but I'm bringing my power washer.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

PSA - Do not use a power washer on your parts.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

"Bidet - the power washer for your parts"

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Can I use it in others parts?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You sound like a man with experience.

One of my life purposes is converting people to The Way of Bidet. I have bought over a dozen as gifts for people and pretty much anybody who is actually willing to install it and try it loves it and hopefully converts others in turn. Clearly superior to wiping in terms of hygiene, saving money on TP, and not irritating the bum.

Have you ever tried Linux?

[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We just got one. We even splurged for the fancy one that hooks up to warm water. It is life changing. I feel very dirty whenever I have to do a poo somewhere else. Underrated appliance, for sure.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How does the hot water work? Did you need a plumber or an electrician? I don't have either hot water or an outlet in my little toilet room.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We bought a Tushy brand, and it pulls hot water from the plumbing directly under the sink. If you happen to have a sink right next to your toilet it might work for you. Iโ€™m not especially handy and I found Tushyโ€™s instructions very straightforward.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Best purchase I ever made. Can't believe I lived without one before. America needs more bidets.

Bidet under 100? Wtf. I thought it's a dream to own one because they are like 1000.

God damnit. I was hoping reddits love of bidets would stay on reddit, yet here we are

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Have you used one? What do you have against them?
