I used a toilet seat bidet today...yipes!

[woodenstickers]

I'm doing a job at the house of a Japanese woman and her family. This is the second time I've come across a customers bathroom that has a bidet installed--one of the good ones too with heated seat, air drying--the works.

The first time was in an $8 million house doing a $41,000 reface job. Really rich people give me the creeps as it is, and it was the first time I had actually sat on one of those seats, so I was too nervous to try it and went with the good old sears catalogue--I mean paper. But the *ahem*discussion here on the forum had me pretty curious about the thing.

This time I felt pretty comfortable and welcome in the house, and so I says to myself, "eff it" and gave it a whirl.

First thought was "does this thing have a laser aim?!?" because let me tell you--bullseye.

I won't go into grittier details than that unless asked, but I could see getting used to the thing. I'm not about to go get one tonight and install it in my apartment, but I can definately see the benifits. I felt pretty fresh and clean after and wasn't worried about a weak flush not doing it's job from too much paper.

Maybe one day when I have my own house and a few extra bucks...

I'll tell ya, man......I can see the benefits to having one of these things. Just the damn savings in paper would pay for it.

Everyone wants to be "fresh".....

Especially on those days when you have a stomach-flu and that "fresh feeling" disappears around 7:00 AM............

We would've for the price we could get them for. Now we found a better unit then the TOTO 300. So I'm not all that interested.

Eli
Glad to hear you tried it. They make all different styles in all different price ranges. so don't let price scare you off. Ken and I are not joking about these things :). I only wish I would have tried one years ago so I could have told some of my relatives with bad mobility about them before they died.

Thanks for the offer Rick, but my girl said no-go too. Her issue is that I'm 'sposed to be saving pennies for a ring :eek:.

If you still have it when i get that situated I may just take you up on it. :D

If she says no now, she is not going to say yes with a ring on her finger:slap:

I think she's okay with the bidet idea, just not with me spending cash on a toilet ring instead of an engagement ring at the moment. Unless it's a rope-a-dope move and all the "maybe"s turn into "no way"s once the deal is sealed!

I would go with choice #2:killingme::killingme::killingme:

Your right about the savings in paper. Heck a cheap unit costs about $70.00. You'd save that in T.P in no time.

I'll change the word fresh for clean. You are clean every time. It's great!!!!

[Tyman]

O.K. so what is better than the Toto 300 that you have found?

Never used a bidet. My wife also said "no way" when I asked her about one when the big bidet thread got going.

No toilet paper needed???/ Don't you need to dry the area?

PLEASE, I am begging you to just do a search on bidets rather than starting this back up:D

No drying necessary - it does everything for you.
You don't even have to push, it has a belt that wraps around you and squeezes the lower intestine.

Seriously though, thanks Stickers for the report.
I've been thinking about getting one for my Grandpa, but it's tough to get opinions about such an odd topic.
Didn't someone on this forum put one in their own home recently?
Is there a thread for that?

6 or 8 months for me now since I've been using a bidet toilet seat.

No learning curve other than positioning yourself to catch the playing field.

Now that I'm on the "other side" of this equation of being a doubter, it's funny

how people hesitate against the use of these. I'm not the Bily Mays spokesperson

but I wish I had one of these 30 years ago....such a dependable product in what

it provides.


I've used 2 rolls of toilet paper in the 6-8 month period, that's it.


Nobody is calling me Hooba-STANK as of yet but for those days where excrement is not your friend......?


I've driven back to the shop to fix the problem. Insert mental image here.


I ended up with the BioBidet 50 which is the low end of the bidet seat line. My *** wouldn't know what to do if it had a higher luxury model with warm water, dryer, and soft music to dump by.


Goodness! Sometimes I just can't tame myself. :shakehead:

And here lies a very important topic for those adults that have to take care of the aging elderly that can't do for themselves.


Short of dragging them out to the driveway to hose them down to clean those nooks and crannies, a bidet toilet seat can make wiping your mom or dad when the okra or collard greens sees the ending of what tasted good yesterday.

I've never had to do this to my creators but I'll be the first to tell you; if you don't do a good job, a rash and infection will follow to complicate an already serious problem most times.

I'm sure they make a bidet with detachable wand....no? There would be some really good guarantees when water is used in this process as older people bathe less and less as they get older. Those areas most likely which are the orifices of the body must be kept clean for the prevention of skin infections, rash and germ transfer through body clothing or the simple unwashing of the hands.


Someone should incorporate a model for porta-pottie seats for those folks that cannot function well enough to get beyond the side of the bed.

I've installed one for my Grandparents. My grandpa loves it. My Grandmas mind is a little to far gone to grasp it so she suffers and so dose my grandpa still having to make sure she is clean. My Grandpa is 92. The sooner they can start using one the better. If you need any advise feel free to message me.

DUNBAR YOU ARE A GENIOUS

[DoctorP]

Say what you guys will, but they have these things all over Japan, and once you get used to them they are quite nice! Even some restaurants and public restrooms have them...but of course the public restrooms here are cleaner than the ones in the States. We're putting one in our new house that should be up by the end of the year. If you get the chance, definitely try one.

My favorite part is in the first 15 seconds- the look of sheer embarrassment on customer Jay's face when you ask him how long he's been using a bidet. Priceless. :lol:
And it's pretty well edited for a you-tube video. Well done, saysflushable.
All of you forum regulars should post videos of yourselves in action. It's way better than just an avatar pic.

[woodenstickers]

Well, it's been a week or two now and I find myself thinking about that damn thing every time I drop a deuce. I think it's only a matter of time now.
