What’s going on here?
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
Ordered Thai food last night. Bidet really payed off.
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
here it is bathroomer
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 installed one, too
Tell me about how your life has changed?
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.
