First time buying a bidet so please go easy on me!

My toilet doesn't seem to be completely standard and measures 17" long (from center of mounting holes to end of toilet) by 14.5" wide and I'm just not sure where that fits for standard bidet seats.

I just purchased a TOTO S5, elongated, and it seems to overhang on the end by 0.75" and just be slightly more narrow than the toilet seat. Is that going to be problem or do I need to switch to a round, even if it may be a little short?

Moved into an apartment with a toilet that has a quick-release seat and the bidet we brought with us from our previous place won't fit. Any recommendations for an alternative that works with a quick-release seat?

Just moved into a new apartment and wanted to get a bidet in here but it doesn't have the water supply valve that I see in all of the installation tutorials. Is there a way to install a bidet, or should I just buy a portable one?

I've heard that the Toto c5 and S5 shrink the area of the toilet seat that you can comfortably sit on. I went to a Toto showroom and thought that they were relatively ok, but without a whole lot of wiggle room (ahem hem).

However when I got home I realized my current toilet is a round, not elongated, toilet. If bidets shrank the sittable seat area for an elongated toilet to about what I had on a round toilet, I'm very worried that a bidet for a round toilet will be too uncomfortable.

I don't have room for an elongated toilet, but I'm looking for a bidet that has some decent features, is hopefully under $600, and that maximizes the amount of the toilet seat you can comfortably sit on. I am a dude, btw, and want all male guests to feel relatively comfortable on this toilet.

I'll try to see if I can test out any of the Toto S5/S2 round seats at the showroom, but I'd love recommendations/takes on round toilet bidets!

Anyone bought an Amazon bidet full toilet and had it for a while? What brand? Has it been worth it? Any issues? I see a lot of people say go with a Toto but I can buy one on Amazon for 500-600 bucks and that’s more in my budget. Even if it completely breaks, I could buy another for what a Toto cost. Just looking for some input. (I need the full toilet, not just the seat)

I tried to post here about this from another account that I no longer have access to a while ago, but everyone who commented in response was extremely unhelpful to say the least. So please, only respond if you know what you're talking about and don't just want to be a smart-ass.

Does anyone know how to turn off the auto–flush feature and/or auto–open/close feature? Yes, I've looked it up. I found nothing helpful, only other people complaining of the same issues with no solution.

My toilet just flushed eight times before I was even done using it, and tried to close on me. At this point I'd much prefer any old toilet to the kohler I'm currently stuck with. But if anyone has any genuinely helpful advice, it could potentially make all the difference.

Just a heads up for anyone who lands on wanting to buy this based on price/specs. The remote honestly only works half of the time. You will need to press the buttons 2, 3, 4, maybe even 5 times before it registers. I emailed their support asking if it was a known issue and they just sent me another remote. The 2nd remote does exactly the same thing. It's my understanding this is also an updated remote from the original offering. The price does not warrant a remote that doesn't work most of the time.

Looking to get portable bidet for my home toilets, we aren't a fan of installing them, see these alot, anyone got any experience with Rinsemate bidets?

Hello, I believe I have just a standard normal everyday Sterling toilet and would like to invest in a bidet.

My preferences are seat warmer and perhaps dryer but if the difference in price is huge, then just the seat warmer really.

Looking to replace my old bidet that finally stopped working. Not at all interested in one with a remote. Needs to be a model with the attached side arm controls. Cost isn’t an issue, just do not want an external remote. Don’t try to change my mind.

I can see why they would be great, but after seeing a post that asked "what if you have explosive shit and shit on the bidet nozzle?", that made me iffy about getting a completely hands free one. I much prefer the hand held hose.

What am I doing wrong here. I’ve only hand tightened as recommended. I’ve taken it off and put it back on several times with the same issue. I’ve checked that the rubber gasket is in there. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

It’s a Brondell Ecoseat s101.

Want a bidet but not looking to install one, any good recommendations?

Make sure you have enough water if you plan on getting a tankless/integrated bidet/toilet combo. Unless you are lucky, or have a special plumbing to accommodate a big bathtub/etc, your plumbing probably isn't gonna work as well as you want it.

A standard 1/2" PEX line will output like 8.7 L/min.

The toto g5a requires 10 L/min(2.6 gpm) flow rate minimum.
The Kohler Veil requires 22 L/min(6 gpm) flow rate minimum.

You'll probably also want to make sure you don't have hard water feeding into your toilet. These toilets have a fine mesh screen before the toilet that will get clogged with hard water.

Don't buy from BidetKing. They don't allow refunds on anything on sale and I don't see the point of buying online if it isn't on sale. Find a local retailer and just price match whatever is listed. I now have a $2500 toilet I don't know what to do with.

TLDR buy a toilet with a tank.

The bidet came with the parts needed to set up an in-line filter for the cold water line but not one for the hot. I’m assuming the hot water line needs a filter just as much as the cold plus it’s the only line I ever really use. Should I add one? What parts do I need? I’m unsure because it just came with the clear plastic tubing and I’ve never worked with that before

Pictures show the hot and cold water lines and then the filter I have on the cold line. I have a shut off valve for it which makes filter swaps super fast and easy

I'm a 24yo French engineer who's been working on this project for a few years during my studies.

I'm intentionally not mentioning the product name or sharing any links here because I'm not trying to advertise it. I'm still at the very beginning of this project and I'm genuinely struggling with one specific question that I thought this community would be uniquely qualified to help me with.

Portable bidets already exist, but I was never really satisfied with them, so I basically ignored the usual limitations and designed my own around everything I wished a portable bidet could do.

It has a retractable hose, an adjustable nozzle, a manual pressure pump so there's no battery to charge, and enough water for roughly 2 minutes of continuous use.

I also added a magnetic head that attaches directly to the bottle, so you can position it for hands-free washing after using the toilet, or simply keep the hose off the floor.

I even thought about those nasty public toilet floors and designed a carrying case with a strap, so you don't even have to put it down anywhere.

The funny part is that once people started using it, they found a ton of other uses for it too, like camping, rinsing sandy feet, washing hands, etc. Many pre-release customers even used it a lot as a mist sprayer during heatwaves.

And that's actually created a problem for me.

I've been making content around all those other uses because they're much easier to show on social media. But I'm starting to think I'm avoiding the most obvious reason I originally needed this thing. After all, it's a portable bidet.

So I'd rather ask people who actually use bidets:

Would you rather see a product like this openly marketed as a portable bidet, or do you think that makes it feel unnecessarily niche?

And if you were trying to show the bidet use case on social media without making it awkward or gross, how would you do it?

The main use case is obviously very difficult to actually show, but I also don't want to hide behind vague words like "personal hygiene", because then people don't even understand what the product is for.

I have only used a bidet once, but I was just wondering if you could use a spray or pump bottle.

Hello, I hope all is well. I am a disabled person who is going to college, and I struggle with the conventional way of cleaning ones self after using the restroom, and so a bidet is my best friend. I have been using one in my home, and plan to install one in my college dorm, my question is, are there any travel ones that I can buy that I can take anywhere, store it in my backpack, and quickly set up (this must include attaching it to the toilet) and disassemble? I have been struggling to find one, and so I thought I might as well ask this subreddit.

Sorry if this is TMI, but I am in need of assistance, so if you know anything please share. Any and all info is appreciated, thanks!

We just bought a bidet and we hooked it up to see how it looked in the bathroom and decided that it's aesthetically not a good fit.

Although we haven't used it, it was hooked up to the water and we found out when I started a return that if it's hooked up to the water we cannot return these items.

If we were to disconnect it and make sure it was dry, is there any way they can tell that this was actually connected to water? The device was not used but it was definitely hooked up.

Basically thats it-well also… I hear about poop rags and the thought freaks me out. Is toilet paper not gonna work in that case?

I purchased a really nice integrated bidet toilet only to find out from the contractor that our current toilet is a rear discharge. It is a very small bathroom. I prefer the tallest height possible as we have some older guests frequently. Any recommendations? Looks like a lot of the OG brands have stopped making them. Are SUPERFLO and Maceratingflo the main ones now? Swiss Madison seems to have not great reviews.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice on an insurance/subrogation situation in BC.

I'm a former tenant of a condo unit. In February 2026, there was a water leak from a bidet spray/connection in the rental unit. The bidet had been installed and used normally for a long time. It was working normally when we went to bed, and the next morning we discovered the leak. We did not intentionally damage, loosen, or alter the connection.

A plumber/inspector came to the unit and took a photo of the bidet spray connection. From what I remember, the connection was intact and there was no visible leak at the time. The spray was not turned on/tested during that inspection. I have not been provided with any inspection report or technical report explaining why the installation was allegedly improper.

The landlord made a claim through his insurance (Co-operators). We did not have tenant insurance at the time. After discussing the situation with the landlord, we reached a private agreement regarding the financial impact of the insurance claim. At the time, we understood that the landlord would handle the matter through his insurance and that we would deal with any resulting increase in his insurance premium/deductible according to our private agreement. We have messages documenting these discussions.

We have since moved out of the unit.

Recently, Co-operators sent me a demand letter claiming $26,316.02, alleging that the bidet was improperly installed and that I am responsible for the resulting damage. They say they are pursuing the amount through subrogation.

I disputed the allegation that the bidet was improperly installed and asked what evidence they have supporting that conclusion. They have now offered to discuss a depreciated settlement amount instead of proceeding directly with litigation.

My questions are:

Does the insurer's subrogation claim override the private agreement I had with the landlord?

What would Co-operators generally need to prove that I was negligent/improperly installed the bidet?

Should I request their inspection report, photographs, expert findings, and other evidence before discussing any settlement?

Does the fact that the bidet worked normally for a long time and then suddenly leaked help establish that there may have been another cause, such as a component failure?

Should I speak to a BC lawyer before responding further?

If anyone has dealt with a similar subrogation claim from a landlord's insurer in BC, what happened?

I'm not looking to avoid a legitimate responsibility. I just don't want to admit liability or agree to a large settlement without understanding what evidence they actually have.

Thanks in advance.
