I bought one at the start of the pandemic and it’s just sat in my bathroom in the box behind the door 😭
Comment on This toilet paper at my work

If bidets became commonplace, it would reduce the need for toilet paper greatly! Ask me, I know! Got one for $40.00 from Amazon, attached in minutes. Best thing since sliced bread

Dude, it takes like 5 minutes to install. There is no complicated plumbing.
Soggy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
For a simple cold water model, sure. Maybe theirs is heated and needs a second water line run to the main plumbing, or a power cable somewhere which can be awkward in a bathroom.

OMG have someone install it! you will not regret it! lol I htg love it
kerrigan778@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Or install it yourself, it’s shockingly easy

Same! Now I hate pooping anywhere but home.
Horton4u@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Same here! Makes me wonder why it took so long to discover something the Europeans have had for many years

Doesn’t it involve plumbing? I’m not good with plumbing. I’m picturing water everywhere, like the time I fixed my sink.

Not that much “plumbing” if you wanna call it that.
- Turn the nozzle on the water line, from the wall to the tank, off.
- Unscrew the line and add the bidet line to it.
- Screw line back in.
- Turn nozzle back on.
- Enjoy a clean booty.

Can confirm, I have zero plumbing experience and installed mine with zero issues. It’s about as simple as entry-level Ikea furniture.

This doesn’t sound too bad.

I installed it myself with that tushy bidet one. The website is helloTushy.com. Make sure the hello is infront or else it will link to porn. I believe they have a video you can watch of the install.
BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yes it involves plumbing, but just barely. It’s super easy. Everything screws in with no more than a simple wrench. There is no soldering, cutting, specialized tools, or anything like that. If you can screw and unscrew the cap on a soda bottle, you can do this.

I can’t connect a garden hose without water leaking out the connections, so I’m not sure how well I’d fare with indoor plumbing
BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That’s more of a design fault of garden hoses than a failing of skill.
Horton4u@lemmy.world 11 months ago
If you have a newer home, it only involves removing the water feed line to your toilet tank (turn water at shut-off valve first) and installing the hose to the bidet. It is very simple process as long as your toilet and home is not too old. When parts are old and corroded from time, it can be a bit more involved. Check out YT for “do it yourself” vids.

I’ll look into it, thanks! I’ve always wished I had one
BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 11 months ago
You are basically adding a fork to your existing line to your tank.
CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Just one? I got a 2 pack for $40. They’ve been installed since March with zero issues. And single ply works just fine at home because I don’t feel like completely wrecking the plumbing in our house built in 1936. If you really have a problem with single ply, might I suggest you re-evaluate how well you’re washing your hands?

So … don’t you need paper to dry off? How do you keep from spraying water everywhere and getting your clothes wet? Forgive my cluelessness, but I’ve often wondered how it works.
Horton4u@lemmy.world 11 months ago
yes, you do need a small amount of TP to dry off. The spray is narrow and precise it aims pretty naturally to the right “place”. Over spray has never been a problem with clothing in my experience. It really is a wonderful invention.
BlackPenguins@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I did the exact same. I never want to go back. Though Ill be honest, I have never tried sliced bread on the anus.

To be fair, it probably feels luxurious.

I only use artisan sourdough personally
Emma_Gold_Man@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Sounds like a recipe for a yeast infection to me. I’ll stick to tortillas.
Chocrates@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Artisan Sourdough often has a chewier crumb than sandwich bread and the crust is harder. Sounds like it would be murder on the under carriage
