Bidet seats - instant Japanese style toilet

[platinumsage]

Of course no one ever touches their clothes between wiping their bum and reaching the tap.

Faced with a choice between randomly sprayed anal water and a specific previously betissued finger, I know which I would chose so as to better avoid onward contamination, especially given I am about to wash my hands.

it’s not ‘randomly sprayed anal water though’. For what it’s worth I don’t have any desire to try those ones that look like some kind of shower head. But I’m baffled as to why you think paper does a good job of cleaning things... it just doesn’t.

And again, it consumes 27,000 trees per day.

All these people with hairless PTFE ring-pieces and obligingly-confected poo who get perfectly clean with two squares .... I bet they bleach their bumholes too ...

you "guaranteed" that water+hand is superior to paper only, which is evidently not true.

onus on you provide "evidence", as I don't see any evidence to the contrary. if you wash your hands with soap afterwards --as any sane person does-- then washing your bum with just water and hand is, in my opinion, (and i don't care to use pretenious adverbs like evidently) vastly superior to spreading poo around your inner arse cheeks with paper

As a parent of a toddler I get poo on my hands semi regularly and while I might use a wipe or a tissue till the bum cleaning is done I really don't consider it clean till after hot soap and water.

And as an IBS sufferer (though much better recently) I can confirm too much bog roll is a bad thing.

I want one of these now but I wouldn't trust myself to plumb it in.

It's honestly the easiest plumbing I've ever done.

Longer term review...

It's still great. I have had precisely zero bum issues since I started using it... Not that I got major bum issues before, but y'know - bit of soreness, bit of irritation, bit of blood from over wiping etc (dr checked). None of that. It's probably a slightly longer process - need to run the cleaning jet a few times, then dry. But not significantly. Usually a couple of pieces of loo roll to pat dry/check cleanliness. But a roll now lasts for bloody ages. Maybe I'll track a wipe-only roll for an assessment (they sometimes get roped into cleaning duties).

But yeah, using loo roll now feels genuinely weird. Which is actually a bit of a disadvantage, but worth it.

My new apartment comes with toilets like these. Not with attachments - it's the whole toilet. You can't even flush it unless it's plugged in. I have to unplug it at night because it's always beeping and whirring even when you're not in the bathroom. If you stand too near it, it beeps and opens the lid. Then, because you didn't use it, it beeps again, whirrs, and closes. It lights up when the lid opens, and the seat is always warm. It is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. It also comes with an extensive remote control for the "facilities". I have not used any of the jets or fans yet. It all seems a bit much tbh.

My cheap and nasty £12 one is still going strong - I'm looking forward to moving to a new abode and investing in a fancier one - though given I'm aiming for composting, the water separation will be an issue ...

I am thoroughly convinced by the need for bidets and am definitely planning on sorting this when I renovate my bathroom... which will happen whenever I feel it's safe to let workmen in my house. But are these attachments (or buying a toilet with a built in bidet in the first place) a better solution than a separate bidet? I guess you don't have to waddle about with your pants round your ankles.

Not wishing to get into too much detail, but I find a quick blast mid-session can be helpful - thus complicating the flushing of a conventional bidet ...

Ours is equiped with many features, one being that the bum gun won`t fire unless you are sitting down. However, if you mistake the "flush" button for the "fire" button and immediately stand up, you`ll have to explain to the wife as to why there is water dripping off of the bathroom ceiling.

Bidets just seem like a lot of added space, plumbing and expense. A toilet bidet is probably less versatile in terms of washing - it's essentially there as a wipe replacement, rather than a nether region washing aid - but tbh if I suspect my genitals have a more general stank, I'm heading for the shower regardless of bidet availability.

You might try fiddling with some of the settings - mine is silent except on fire-up or when you sit down. Possibly it's the heated seat making noises, as that would need to be active when no user is detected - I have mine switched off. It may be the water heater though (mine only activates when you sit down). As regards cleansing, I'd say it's worth giving it a try, if only to save the trees.
