Bidets

Worked in a plumbing supply showroom at one time, and we had a couple bidets on display. It was interesting to hear customers comments about them - evidently many had never seen one before. Some thought they were lavatories for children or urinals, and one person thought they were built-in fish bowls. The funniest thing I heard though, was when a rather crude woman was explaining its function to the friend that accompanied her. She spoke loudly and a little girl who heard her then remarked to her mother that the fixture was a bathtub for cats. Well it is about the right size.

Who needs colors....buy white....and color it when you use it!!!.........lol

Angel soft here!......cause I'm always wearing my HALO....blink, blink, blink

as for using any personal device to cleanse said area...hey, were glad your concerned about being clean and fresh.....and for some of those people who have to have their butt kissed in order to get them to do anything.....we are thankful!...lol

as for those who wish to know....there are other devices available that hook up to your shower hose and allow a deep cleansing that would make your proctologist happy!...fiber isn't the only thing that keeps your pipes cleared out....lol

Scott paper is rough, my daughter dislikes the toilet paper burns she gets, and I felt sorry for my store brand (Kroger) equivalent failing to sell with enough surplus rolls in abundance that I bought a pack just for it to notoriously smear everything all over my behind...

I kept a roll of the good stuff on top of the toilet tank for the Heavy Use until all that cheap inferior stuff finally ran out then never again ever bought....

Funny how Scott was te inventor of toiletpaper, yetlook how much the competition improvedso much making their lines much more soft and absorbent,,,

We were using the Scott extra soft version but it has disappeared from the stores.  Now it's whatever I can find to have on hand...cottonelle, charmin, walmart ultra...I have quite a few in my stash now just in case we have another run on TP.

Right now I have Array 2-ply soft, which is the Gordon Food Service brand. It comes packaged as 24 individually wrapped rolls. I bought some in Feb., and have about half of it left.

Angel Soft

for us. Had to use Cottonelle during shortage. The Northern. Too thin with 2 sheets, to thick with 3. Sticks.

Well, since I last posted over 4,000 days ago (2009?) I saw a bidet seat at Costco and got one.

Relatively easy DIY install, and works relatively well. I would prefer a stronger spray but patience is rewarded.

A plus, besides being more clean, is that TP usage has plummeted. It's only used to sop up any remaining water and check to make sure, er, that the bidet did its job.

They aren't cheap - between $200 and $300, but IMHO well worth it.

I have read that some drill out the jets for more flow. I'm thinking about it.

That's one of the things i miss in the usa...

BIDETS... real bidets, standalone, next to the toilet, with pressure enough to make Karcher envy.

Strangely, the shower head in my first "home" in the USA (extended stay america in Dallas) had a Waterpark shower had that was awful. It literally had 3 series of 3 holes that pulsed exactly like my bidet in brazil. It was somewhat similar to the "turbo nozzle" on a karcher pressure washer.

Showering with that was pathetic. 5 minutes to rinse a bald head.

Back to bided... theres nothing better than a REAL bidet to make sure you're REALLY clean.

I use Renova blue toilet paper. My bathroom is from the late 60's. Everything except the ceiling is baby blue.

 

[robbinsandmyers]

Marcal 1000 sheets @ .79 per roll

 

[thomasortega]

What I really want is that Amazon smart bidet so I can say "Alexa, wash my butt"...

It's possible to even create different "routines" Like... Nuclear disaster, mud slide, thin n'crisp, Heavy duty. ROFL

 

[bewitched]

nothing. as the most part of the houses here i have a bidet. I couldn't really live without it.

 

[warmsecondrinse]

I've never used a bidet. Given the current isolation/lockdown I wonder if I'd ever leave the bathroom. Another practical problem would be the fact that many/most bathrooms in the US don't have space to put one if one wanted to renovate.

We had a bidet in the house we lived until I was 15. It had a fountain sprayer in the center. Due to calcium build up the water could spray very high, if you turned the tap on full, it could reach the ceiling. After using it, you could flush it by letting water run along the walls, just like a toilet.

 

[thomasortega]

Thats the average bidet in brazil.
At home my bidet sprayer was so strong that if I was a cartoon, I could probably have water coming out of my ears like a bizarre fountain.

Good thing is it REALLY cleans LOL.

After using it you feel "Karcherized"
