Now I understand the hype.

This is something I’ve been wanting to do for years honestly. As you all know, here in America we wipe with cheeseburgers and bald eagles. But I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve heard or read someone extolling the virtues of the bidet, usually from a European or a converted ‘Murcan.

So I finally decided it was time…began reading product reviews, found a brand new one for cheap on an auction site but…I misjudged the fit for my particular toilet. So that one had to go back in the box. Ended up going to a local store for one because I didn’t feel like waiting any longer and I could judge the fit with my own eyes.

Got one, brought it home, installed it, and…well friends I don’t know if buttholes believe in heaven, but if they do mine surely thinks it’s died and gone there. It’s not one of the super luxury models with the remote and smartphone app, but it’s got warm water, a seat warmer, and a warm air dryer. I’m hooked. In fact when I’m at work I now get annoyed that I don’t have access to it.

I now count myself among the converted. I’ve never felt so pampered.

      LuxeBidet is the model I got.

      Totally entry level, hooks up to the water supply to the toilet tank. No heat or special features, stupid easy to install. Price around $50.

      To my mind, no need to go more expensive until you know more what you might want.

      I do have an aunt and uncle who got an expensive toilet bidet unit with heated seat and all the features… after having tried my bidet while visiting.

      Plus with the cheap unit you get the bonus of hearing the startled yelps of your uninitiated guests as cold water hits their asshole for the first time.

        I installed luxebidets during covid. Still working great. My wife and I both work in hospitals and didn’t have time to fight the crowd for TP.

        The fancy models with air-drying are bad, it takes ages when you can just dab your butt/bits dry. Warm water is also a take-it-or-leave-it for me, but lots of people really like that.

        Heated seat, though—THAT is a nice feature. It squicked me out right away because I always hated sitting on toilet seats that were still warm from other butts when u was young, but I got over that and now I’d love to have a seat warmer…

      Dude I got a cheap $40 or $50 one from Amazon years ago that just sprays cold water and it’s glorious. It doesn’t matter which one you get, you just gotta get that water on your butt hole!

      i have an old Biobidet i got a few decades ago. it was a few hundred bucks but has a hot water tank on the side of the toilet. gotta get one with warm/heated water.

      our house is basically set up that the bathrooms attached to bedrooms have warm water bidets (washlets technically) and the other bathrooms have simple cold bidets.
