So, with my product-shortage anxiety rising and seeing several bidets listed as out of stock, and since this is something I’ve been thinking about for a few years regardless, I decided to go for it. I ordered the one @Michel ordered as well as a travel one from the same company.

Awesome. Do you have someone to help you install it?

I watched a YouTube video about how to turn off water at the toilet, and my toilet is set up in the same way. So when I get it, I’m hoping I can just follow the instructions or watch another video to get it installed.

There’s also a video linked from Brondell’s own website. It looks like a pretty simple job.

Yeah it’s very simple… I just didn’t know to what extent jens vision might make it challenging. If there’s anything I can do to help or if you want me to skype you through it or something when the time comes, don’t hesitate to pm

I hope it’s appropriate to post after a while, but I’ve been doing web design for a bathroom-related website, and there are lots of articles about bidets and bathtubs and etc.
not an ad, just feel like it would be nice to share 🙂

What I want to know is how many people actually installed a bidet or hand-held spray subsequent to this discussion!! 😺

2 at my house
Had to put one in the guest bathroom because after I saw the light I just couldn’t stand the thought of other peoples dirty butts in my house

Still sitting in my cupboard. 🙂 I do think of it every once in a while.
I did try a “travel” version and was thoroughly unimpressed (I actually felt the need to use _more_ toilet paper than usual to dry up the water!). So that’s a big part of why I haven’t bothered trying the larger one.
If it really does result in less toilet paper use, I do like the idea of that from an environmental perspective, which is important to me.

We installed a bidet last Christmas – or _around_ last Christmas, I mean it wasn’t anybody’s Christmas present, we’re not that sad, not yet anyway – so before this discussion.
@Jen, I’m not sure it uses less paper. You still have to dry yourself. Well, unless you want to sit there and air-dry while you get lost in the _Iliad_ or something. But the nice thing is, the paper is clean.

I use a tiny fraction of the paper… we’re talking one dab… so maybe a few squares a day instead of many times that

I love it. I would put it in the guest bathroom, too, but I rarely have guests these days with COVID still active! I’m not sure guests would feel comfortable using it anyway. I recommended it to my sisters but they did not find it appealing! Yep, I agree, a nice savings on TP, too 🙂

Nice, so you use less TP? That’s the main reason I got one…

It really is a whole life change.
I literally cringe at the thought of having to use a toilet without one.
Since I’ve basically taken the last 9 months off and just now going back to work on ships where they use sandpaper for tp I’m really going to have to figure out a better way to cleanse while traveling.
And I get it re guest bath too… I haven’t had guests to speak of in a long time but it’s become such a mainstay that it’s not reasonable to go upstairs to use my br instead of the downstairs one

Yes, definitely. But as @Beacher said, you still may want to use “some” to dry yourself off!!

Oh, boy, what a change that is! They are fairly easy to install and inexpensive, too bad they are not a common place bathroom fixture!

I think the expensive ones include dryers, so very little TP should need to be used.
