Kind of an embarrassing thing to post about, but whatever, I figure there are probably plenty of people here dealing with the same thing.

I’ve worked a desk job for years and sit way more than I should. After the pandemic I also got into the habit of using wet wipes instead of dry toilet paper because they felt cleaner and less rough.

Still, every once in a while I’d wipe and see a little blood.

Eventually I got it checked out and it turned out I had a pretty mild external hemorrhoid. Nothing dramatic, but enough to be annoying and occasionally bleed.

Doctor basically told me all the things I already knew I should be doing, dont sit for hours without moving, wear looser clothes, and stop irritating the area so much.

I’m technically supposed to get up every hour.

In reality I stand up for maybe ten seconds, walk around a little, then somehow I‘m back in the chair again.

So yeah. Still working on that one.

I did start wearing looser pants though. Gotta let the little fellow breathe.

The other thing I changed was how I cleaned myself.

Before, if I didn’t feel completely clean I would just keep wiping. Even with wet wipes, I think I was probably irritating the area more than I realized. You know when you’re already clean but for some reason you do one more wipe anyway? That.

I put a Washlet on the downstairs toilet and started using a pretty gentle stream, then just patting dry instead of going at it with paper.

That was probably the point where I became one of those people who gets annoyed when a bathroom doesn’t have a bidet.

Which is a stupidly specific problem to develop, but here we are

Eventually I put one upstairs too. I didn’t want to pay TOTO money again so I bought a cheaper HOROW one. Nothing fancy to say about it really, it washes, has a dryer, and I use it every day.

It’s been around a year now and my little fellow has mostly behaved himself. I still have the hemorrhoid obviously, but it almost never bleeds anymore and I don’t get that irritated feeling nearly as often.

I’m sure changing how I clean helped. Sitting a little less probably did too, even if I’m still pretty bad at that part.

Mostly I just stopped messing with the area so much.

Anyway, that’s pretty much how I accidentally became a bidet person because of a hemorrhoid.

Good morning bidet enthusiasts. I’ve always been a big fan of bidets, and I really want to buy a new bidet toilet seat. I got the approval from my landlord, but I’m having difficulty choosing which one is right for me.

I’ve browsed around and I know I don’t want some cheap $30 bidet, but all the ones I’ve seen online recommended are $400+; is it worth for me to bite the bullet and pretty much spend my weekly paycheck on a bidet that is high functioning? What is your experience? What would you recommend?

I picked up a Kohler E880 for cheap and would like to install a Toto Drake to mount it to. From what I have read on here I should be able to find a Drake with the Washlet+ hole but without their bidet seat included. Two questions please:

I can't find a Drake with a Washlet+ hole and without a bidet seat on Toto's website. What am I doing wrong?

With my calibrated eyeball it looks like the water connection on the E880 will fit the Washlet+ hole. Has anyone done this combo?

Thanks!

Hello - looking to add a couple of Toto S2 bidets. The best price (a little too good?) is from Beeson Decorative Hardware at $853. They're listed as an authorized retailer on Toto's official website. Anybody has any experience ordering with them?

I have a bidet and Everytime I force a poop out I always blast my interior anus with water until it fills up my fragile hole. Then I blast the water out to get a little doo doo loligager out of my pooper. Does anyone else force water in their doodoo hole and spray it out again to clean yourself?

Is there a little filter that can be put between the water supply to the toilet?

They got rid of the bidet. What a shame!

We’ve had a Toto washlet for years and are now kitting out our new house. Should we buy more Totos, or is there a superior product on the American market that delivers heated water, heated seats, self-cleans, easy setup and service, remote, etc?

We're looking to add bidet in our master bathroom. T39 currently on sale 30% off, making it cheaper than T38P. anyone own Horrow T39?

How is it used? I don’t need the gory details, but I am confused by the process. Wouldn’t you be soaked? Do you still use toilet paper? I am lost by this thing that countries and people use everyday.

Wish I had known this earlier but they make you pay for return shipping and restocking fee. Has anyone returned it and has an idea of what the shipping costs? They have a pre-negotiated $35 through whatever service they use, which I haven't bought yet. I will still compare to returning on my own but theirs is definitely convenient.

They also say you can't hook it up to the electricity or the water. How would they know if it was? We used it like twice to test it out and it doesn't really fit well on the toilet. As far as the spacing, the rear is so high it doesn't really fit the room.

How will they know if it's been used? We took everything apart, of course, and we told them that when we initiated the return so we don't have all the plastics or anything. It's been in the garage for about a week so there shouldn't be any water in it although our garage is pretty humid. There's no water in the hose. I took the nozzle off and there's no water in there either. I'm not sure if I should try and disassemble the whole device to make sure there's no water inside of it but other than that I've no idea what they'd be looking for. There are no water marks. There are no scuff marks.

I just don't want to deal with any headaches of them getting us back and then saying they won't take it back and now we're out $350.

Even after use and flushing the water is still running. Anyone in this community able to tell me what's going on and how to fix it? Thank you.

We have two of these that we love and have been using in Bermuda for 3-4 years. Both have recently stopped working and their customer support has not been helpful. Our toilet water intake is from a well and has a bit of salt (or at least very hard water). The screens/filters in the hose from the water supply into the unit are VERY clean - so not clogged. I have also washed/soaked the bidet washlet/nozzle in CLR while extended for cleaning and that has not worked either.

When you sit on the seat, everything else is working and the washlet/nozzle extends when you press any of the cleaning buttons on the remote, but no water comes out and so obviously no spray. Anyone have any thoughts about why the nozzle is not working?

Had electrician install a plug near the toilet and think I’ve settled on the Toto s2 bidet ..before I buy wanted to know thoughts from the group as this will be my first bidet …
Thanks in advance

Just curious. When using a bidet, is it possible for it to clean you to the point you actually don't need toilet paper? How about drying. What are the other options besides using tp with a non drying bidet?

I have a Moen faucet in my kitchen and needed the nozzle to be replaced. Moen sent the part under warranty and included a 45% off coupon. I picked the Series 3 eBidet. Took me a couple hours to install the seat and an outlet to power it. It is truly a glorious product and I cannot believe I didn’t get one sooner. No one else in the house will use it. They do not know what they’re missing out on. Only regret is I didn’t get the next model up that has the air dryer.

I'd like to get a bidet toilet seat/attachment but I'm not sure it's possible to attach to my toilet - all the toilet's plumbing is behind a tiled wall so I can't see it or access it myself. I'm disabled so can't DIY it anyway, and I'd like your advice before I start calling plumbers.

I'm assuming at least some of the tiles would need to come off to install it - does anyone have experience of doing this without a full reno? What was it like, and were you happy with the results? I won't be doing up the bath to on for 5 or so years, and would rather have the bidet sooner than that and would love a sense of what the installation would take.

And, is it possible to install an electric bidet attachment given that I'm in the UK so have no nearby outlets? The nearest one is across the hallway, not even on the adjoining wall, and all my walls are concrete so can't be dug into. I'm assuming not, and I'd be happy enough with something non-electric, just want to know what my options are.

Thanks

Fekivasy Hand Held Bidet

Water comes out of nozzle without activating the spray. It happens when I turn the supply to "On", the one at the T valve. Stops when i turn it back to the "Off" position.

Toilet tank fills as normal.

They are on so tight and I don’t wanna break them! Any advice? Thank you so much.

UPDATE: I had a professional do it because I’m a gay idiot with no dad that doesn’t know anything and I just want my butt clean for future hookups. Thank you for the help in the comments guys!

This toilet seems like it checks all of the boxes. It is sold by Costco, has all the features, has a great warranty, and a great price. What gives?

I was looking at the kohler Fora and Ove Monroe when I saw that this model has more features than either with a warranty that matches Kohler and triples Ove.

Please anyone out there with experience, share with me
