Toilet Seat Bidets; 6 month review

[DUNBAR PLUMBING]

Not looking for a blowout thread but I wanted to give my 6 month summary of what my *** has endured in the matters of cleanliness, functionality, usefulness, simplicity.


Before I summarize......I'm using the BB-50, the cheapest version of toilet seat bidets that offers one function >>> cold water application.


What I like:

• True feeling of clean, just like I came out of the shower
• Less problems with irritations/swelling/rashes/infections in affected areas pertaining to nether regions
• Less toilet paper usage, and no "unsightly" visuals of feces like it used to be for so many years
• Less physical exertion from start to finish to perform the action of defecating

What I don't like.....and I feel this is greatly in relation to my limiting myself to the cheapest model:

• Stinging but that is mainly by use of the control valve
• Having to move numerous times to catch *I think* all areas affected
• The use of toilet paper *only because I don't have the dryer option*
• The fact that these are not found everywhere for sanitary reasons

I catch myself hating the fact that I have to go home to be clean. Having to wipe 2-7 to 10 times given the viscosity of what blasts out the other end is the determining factor of how rough it is..........then you wipe so hard that you instantly get pain from doing so.


Remember, that part of your body isn't a smooth flat surface. Even the best wipers absolutely cannot provide what a jetting action of water can provide.



There are comforts that I have come to enjoy, there are comforts that I have strayed away from because I didn't feel it necessitated its use. Bidets once you surpass that "I'm a freak" attitude, you'll quickly realize from a health and sanitary point of view that this product provides reality over attitude ten fold.

I recently shipped 2 of these BB-50's to two other Master Plumbers that have heard about them but all they saw were the $400-$1400 bidet seats online.

I'll be sure to hear from them in their opinions. There's another guy that I bought one for that is going to have shoulder and back surgery at the same time......then 2 months from then he's having neck surgery.


He's in that same stall mode like a lot of people are....doesn't want to try it.


His wife is NOT going to wipe his ***.
His friends are not going to wipe his ***.
I sure in the hell am not going to wipe his ***; I've done my job. I got him something that will solve that problem instantly including the physical limitations as part of the answer to the problem involving limited mobility.


In my career as a Plumber, I'm now implying to my customer base when there's a clogged toilet to blame.....I'm now mentioning on a regular basis that this product of bidets do NOT require another fixture installation, that they can be mounted easily, and they are under $100.

I always liked bidets. They are a nice luxury, but few can afford the extra fixture (both in bathroom space and $$$). The bidet seats sound like a great option, I'll have to look into those.

I actually have a real bidet in our master bathroom, but I've turned off the water connections because my son would turn it on and be happy with himself for making a fountain.

I've tried it a few times, but always want to wipe anyway because otherwise you are wet; and the TP disintegrates when it is wet.

I would much rather have a shower stall in that space [I understand the seat ones don't need the space though].

I still prefer my "real" bidets, but I've heard a lot of positive feedback on the toilet seat models and wouldn't be afraid to sell them.

My wife gives the dog a bath in ours. Other than that I might as well put plants and goldfish in it for all the use it gets.

I've never tried a seperate bidet. They seem a little inconvienent although Herk likes his.

The toilet seat bidets are awesome. I now have a small hand held battery powered unit I keep in the van for those times away from home. It doesn't work near as good as a seat unit BUT it work way better than toilet paper.

Hey Rick. Give that thing to somebody who could use it! We all have family members that have trouble in the bathroom. It's doing no good in a box. Just take a tax deduction on it. Next time your installing grab bars for some one just offer it to them. A lot of people will be to proud to admit they can't wipe properly. But you will be somebodies angle when they start using it!!!!

O.K. I'm not trying to give away your money. I know thats what it sounds like. Hopefully you sell it and another person will benifit from it.

NHMaster a seat mount bidet is so easy to use. You will wounder why anybody would install a seperate unit again. Although I would use a seperate unit if thats all there was.
