I definitely have the inexpensive and easily installable one :-). Hwr, I do see the benefit of ones with a dryer! The ones in Japan even have music and those are quite exquisite!

I was typically a 4 square x 4 wipe kinda guy so 16 squares per event on a good dayâŚ
With this I typically use 2 total. No joke.
Before I was an aficionado I didnât really understand and I thought everything would be drenched just like you just got out of the shower and drying would be a big deal but thatâs just not how it really works out. Somehow it just really doesnât get that wet. A lot of people use no tp at all with them.

The 8 year old boy in me chuckles every time I come to this thread and see that for the last 10 months we have been having on ongoing discussion about poop.

Right; we have to let it drip off otherwise it is as you say; toilet paper sucks as a towel.
I donât see any problem getting up afterward and dripping on the floor, but I live out in the woods; sometimes I simply step out of the shower and just keep on doing whatever it was I was doing before I took a shower, Different perspectives.
Can I install it by myself? How to install a bidet toilet seat?

In Malaysia, the choices are âsitâ or âsquatâ. IF youâre lucky.

Super easy⌠takes about 10 minutes.
Turn off water, flush toilet, disconnect water line under tank, install tee adapter and hose, reconnect water line, then remove toilet seat screws, sandwhich bidet between the seat and the toilet, reinstall screws, and youâre off to the races
need a flat screwdriver, and pliers or adjustable wrench for the water line

Those are pretty controversial. Nothing about them actually makes them âflushableâ except the labelingâŚ

I was unaware of that. I guess I have good plumbing - been using them for years without a problem. We have sewers in my neighborhood, not cesspools, so maybe that makes a difference?
Somewhere a baby turtle is choking on themâŚ

Not really. Search for âfatburgâ to get an idea of the trouble it causes.

I found it in Wikipedia under âfatbergâ:
I had no idea. I lazily assumed that the word âflushableâ on the package meant they were actually safe to flush and implied biodegradability. Now that you and @Sam have opened my eyes, I shall discontinue their use forthwith, if not sooner.

Kind of crazy (the fatbergs) and much credit should be given to the men and women that keep our sewers running. I for one wouldnât want to manage that in my job.

I still feel guilty about this, and Iâm not arguing with you guys at all - Iâm assuming youâre absolutely correct - but in my own defense, this labeling (which is much more than just the word âflushableâ) is pretty (deliberately?) misleading, no?
Sorry for the fuzzy pic, canât seem to get my camera to focus on the package instead of the background, but I think itâs legible enough.

Lovely. Whatâs the disclaimer text that goes with the asterisk on the âitâs perfectly safe to use thisâ sentence?

*âNOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN MOTOR HOMES OR WITH BASEMENT PUMP SYSTEMSâ
I didnât think that part was particularly relevant to the discussion?
Either way, theyâre clearly trying to make us think these are environmentally safer than ordinary wipes which, if untrue, is pretty shady, imho.
