A bidet. Fight me.

Fight me.

Okay, but I'm bringing my power washer.

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

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

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?

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

Never considered an extension cord. Don't think the mrs would go for that. Ah well. At least it never gets too cold here.

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

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.

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.

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.

Thanks for the reply. I'm probably going to have to stick with chilly water. I can't imagine how expensive it would be to re-plumb the bathroom for that. I'll try to check Tushy again but, for some reason I always get distracted when I visit their website...

At least in the US, we usually have flexible tubing that supplies water to the sink. If you're mildly handy, you should be able to hook it up yourself.

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

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.

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

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.

$100?

Luxe bidet on Amazon- $38.99

It's s little more $, but the Brondell is better. Brondell Bidet Toilet Seat Non-Electric Swash Ecoseat, Fits Elongated Toilets, White - Dual Nozzle System, Ambient Water Temperature - Bidet with Easy Installation https://a.co/d/1QKXrso

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

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