Costco + coupon + birthday = clean butt

The irony of Japan - world's finest toilets and no Mexican food.

Mine was literally the cheapest I could find (Amazon flash sale during COVID for maybe $30?) and isn't even powered, but still manages to have a continuous knob to adjust pressure, along with three buttons for where to aim the spray (butt, front, and self-clean).

Yeah, that pretty much sounds like mine as well. OP has way more options there.

And the knob is counter intuitive to every other water control knob. Wtf is this clockwise is ON bullshit? The number of times I let Blastoise wash my bum...

You can buy a separate valve to install between the water supply and the bidet, to limit the super powerful "stab of doom" spray.

The greater good

I think I'd spend the money on making the toilet cubby bigger first, but then yeah!

Vacations are so much less enjoyable now. Like it shouldn't ruin my whole experience, but it kinda does.

I spend a lot of time working away from the office at sites.

I have a bidet at home and specifically save my shits for when I get home.

My ass just dosnt feel properly clean these days if I have to shit like a commoner.

as an arab you couldn't imagine my shock when i travelled abroad and experienced the joy of hemorrhoids for the first time lol

You can use a portable bidet. It's not as good as a mounted one but still.

Agreed. Those walking around in their own filth are not savages, they just do not know any better.

Buy one for a lesser used toilet and dare her to use it once. I bet she doesn’t go back.

OCD doesn’t stand a chance against a freshly washed ass.

You could get a hand bidet or something that's less conspicuously bidet-y.

Probably horrified because it's not a GFCI outlet.

Most likely behind a GFCI outlet. Usually, its the one closest to the door and everything else daisy chains off of it.

It could be connected in line with a GFCI outlet or breaker.

You guys don't do GFCI everywhere?

100% correct, code violation and that person is asking for trouble.

Garden Hose should do the job.

Probably the external, steel sprayer type. It’s not as glamorous but I feel like anything built into a toilet seat is going to get abused beyond its design, and probably piss all over the hard-to-clean areas.

I see those fairly often at daycares and kid facilities.

Brondel sells one that's a seat, so you remove the old seat and attach this. Comes with a splitter for your incoming tank water line. So obviously it's not technical, but it works great. I use it at home. I have tile walls in my bathroom and didn't feel like running power and busting tiles out, and it is more than serviceable, and inexpensive. We have great water pressure in my house and the thing feels like it could strip paint off a starfish.

I have had them both ways. I can't tell the difference. Cold water sounds awful but in my experience you can't tell.

This one can heat the water.

Depends on the model. Some only hook into the cold water line, where others can hook into both. A cold jet of water on your butt is a hell of a way to wake up in the morning.

I was concerned about this as well when looking to install a bidet solution, to the point where I put it off for years.

For context, I live in Sweden where the water in the cold line gets quite cold during winter.

I then read that you don't really have that much temperature-related sensation in the place where it matters for the bidet, and finally decided to test the theory and bought a cheap model (~€75) that just attaches to the water inlet for the toilet, i.e cold water.

I can confirm that it is indeed the case that you can't really tell that it's cold water being applied. You're just not that sensitive to it in that place.

I have not looked back at all since I bought the thing. Two squares of toilet paper is basically always enough to get me incredibly clean with the help of the bidet. It's fantastic. I highly recommend you get one.

Mine does.... But it runs out after around 30 secs of use.

Mine doesn't have hot water. The water typically heats up in the hose, so the first blast is closer to room temperature.

It doesn't bother anyone in my house, but we don't know what we're missing with warm water.

Some context - I live in Canada on a deep well. My pumphouse is just above freezing most of the winter and the bidet line comes directly off that feed about 10 feet later.

The cold cold cold bidet water is something I miss all summer when the water pumphous eis warm and the water is only kind of cold.

cold water back there is... magical.
