I retrofitted a bidet attachment to my toilet!

Best thing I ever did!! The Europeans, have known this joy for a long time...

When I was growing up. I was friends with a kid who was born in Germany. In his washroom was a bidet. I had no idea what it was but I tried turning it on. As a kid I thought it was just a fancy water fountain to look at while taking a dump!!...

Anyways; I found a retrofit bidet attachment for a toilet at a liquidation place in town.. It was under 20$. As it turns out I got it for pennies on the dollar. If I bought it new it would normally have been well over 200$... Although you can get lesser models than the one I bought for as little as 75$. The lesser models still perform great but may not last as long..

Installation was simple and done in 12 minutes..

Since installing it. Myself and everyone in the household have the "Shower Fresh Feeling all the Time"!!!

Also the toilet paper bill has dropped substantially (you could say it has dropped thru the toilet).

Our 4 person household used to go thru at least a 24 pack of double ply a week.

Since I installed the bidet, two months ago. We are at 4 rolls of toilet paper used. In two months!!

I have already recovered the cost of the bidet!!!!!

I highly recommend a bidet, or a bidet retrofit attachment to everyone here!!! This report is CANOE FREE!!!

"Our 4 person household used to go thru at least a 24 pack of double ply a week."

There's a lot of not right going on in your post here but the above sentence was probably the most not right of them all.

dirtiest canoe ever

Seriously we did.. Mind you the 24 pack was only 200 sheets of double ply.. However the savings are there...

I prefer to wipe until I am "shower fresh"... When I had to do that with paper it would take damn near 1/2 a roll. Just for myself.

Not even close!!! I have an actual canoe that is so ratty that nobody would ever want to steal it. If they did I would be able to identify it in a second. I purposely made it as E36 M3ty as possible so nobody would want to steal it..

I'm not a very worldly person so help me understand what this thing you put on your toilet is exactly. I am picturing basically a cold water squirt gun that shoots out of the toilet bowl that leaves you wet as though you just got out of the shower.

24 pack / 4 people = 6 rolls. A week. Meaning you're using nearly a roll of toilet paper a day.

No.

I don't know who Dr. Smooth is, but he recently appeared out of nowhere (he is only 'reader' status).

No offense dude, but you creep me the berkeley out.

Needs more toto toilet.

Chuckle, some people use remarkable quantities of tp. Especially those of the wad and ball school.

Bidets are nice. Why Americans are so fanatical over smearing feces around theis posterior and pretending that is clean, I'll never know.

OK, so you opened this door. Nobody wants to talk about this, but I've always been curious as to how you actually use one of these things. Those of you with fine sensibilities and and/or are easily offended turn away now. I'll try to be as discreet as I can and still get the point across.

So, I take it you squirt some water up at your shiny happy person. Do you rely on water pressure alone to dislodge the Klingons circling Uranus? Or do you scrub with something (what)? Then how do you dry off without leaving skid-marked towels around (ain't nobody got time fo' dat)? It seems toilet paper is ill-suited to these tasks as it tends to disintegrate at the slightest hint of moisture.

I'm serious.

I would assume that if you cleaned it properly, there would not be any skidmarks?

I like the Korean set-ups. Not only do they rinse, you can choose height, intensity, pulse and a blow dry. There's also a button that plays tinkly music in lieu of a courtesy flush.

Way to much information in this thread.

To heck with $20 on a bidet. I just do a hand stand in the shower.

You sir owe me a keyboard and a clean shirt for my child.

Sometimes only a video tutorial will do...

Not an assumption I want hanging on my towel rack, thank you very much.

At least the video was cartoons and there were no close ups...

I worked for some time in the plumbing field, and I never got to use or mess with these things. I did hear that we once had a customer that had to have a "special" nozzle put on after the one she bought couldn't be adjusted for any higher PSI. I think it was from a pressure washer...

Cole,
In the joint, I believe the ladies call that "The Iron Man."

This thread once again proves you can find just about anything on GRM.
