r/bidets

I recently moved into a new place, and the toilet has a built-in bidet. I have grade 4 hemorrhoids, so I’m not sure whether I should be using it.

I’ve set the water pressure to the lowest level. I know this is a weird comparison, but the stream feels roughly as strong as my urine stream. The model is a horow t38p, in case anyone happens to know how strong its lowest setting is.

Sometimes when I use it, my hemorrhoid feels slightly swollen or congested. It’s not exactly painful, but I can definitely feel something happening. I can’t tell whether that’s harmless or whether the water is irritating it.

I assumed using water would be better than toilet paper because I often end up wiping until I bleed. Has anyone with severe or prolapsed hemorrhoids used a bidet? Should I stop using it, or is a gentle stream normally okay?

We just moved in to this Condo building and the building management explicitly said we cannot install bidets. Are there any alternatives besides the portable bidets? Those don’t seem to work as much as we’d like.

TIA 🙏🏼

Was talking with a friend on the way home from camping. They just 'rinse' and once 'clean' they pull up their underwear and what not.

Is there a drying process or is it strictly person to person?

They said they were clean so no problem. It all dries within? Or do the majority of yall toilet paper dry when done?

It sounds disgusting imo. Like putting on clean undies right after the shower without towering dry is crazy.

The family and I have been on vacation for a week. Without access to a bidet. So I had the idea of a) wiping then b) rinsing and washing my hand at the sink after making sure my bottom is clean. And I dried off with a segregated towel. Now, since last night, my bottom has felt irritated. That doesn't make sense. Does that make sense to anyone?

I'm looking into buying a bidet, I live in central Europe, but hope to find a good one that doesn't break easily when used by my cildren, and doesn't cost me an arm and a leg...

Any ideas/tips?

Now I'm currently searching for the best bidet toilet seat that is comfortable, easy to install, and offers effective cleaning with adjustable water pressure and temperature settings. I want something with a good nozzle design, self-cleaning feature, and that fits standard toilets without requiring major plumbing changes.

I've come across several options during my research, but I'd love to hear about your personal experiences and recommendations.

I need another Elongated bidet for my house and I almost exclusively use the enema feature. Before I buy another bio Bidet bb2000 I thought I would reach out to the community and see if anyone had a bidet recommendation that I should look into. Comfort and pressure is what matters most.

After 7 years of loyal service, the lid on our Brondell Swash 1400 bidet toilet seat has broken. It may be fixable, but I’m ready to buy another flagship model and move this one to the secondary bath. I want to go low profile for the next one. We liked the features of the 1400 but it wasn’t super comfortable to sit on. It always felt like you were sitting on a ski slope 🤣. I’d also love better drying fan, but they kind of all still suck don’t they?

So in terms of durability and comfort, is there something out there better than Brondell? Brondell’s current model is the CL2200 (Costco’s T44), which goes on sale every few months for $350. I’ve seen Eco-Nova recommended before but that’s $600+. Is it worth it? I love the idea of a Toto, but the only low profile they sell is S7A which is $1,100 😭. Is there something else I’m missing or other models I should consider?

I’m willing to spend a little more if there’s a better experience than Brondell, but if not probably just go with the CL2200 next time it’s on sale.

I have a Tushy Ace (round seat) from 2021 that I’ve been mostly happy with, except that the plastic seat has started turning yellow despite being regularly cleaned according to the manufacturer’s directions.

I was thinking of upgrading from the Ace to the Alpha UX Pearl.

Has anyone tried both?

If so, what differences can I expect in terms of water pressure, water temperature, and overall experience?

From their respective spec sheets, it seems like the Ace has significantly higher maximum water flow (0.19 gallons per minute compared to 0.11)… would I be losing maximum spray power by switching, or are there other factors that influence this?

Is there a big difference in build quality? Will all bidet plastic seats eventually discolour?

guys actually help everyone says bidet’s are so incredible and my family are non americans so when i go to visit they are always available. i am a girl and everytime i try to use one i feel like it just gets everything wet and messy and i have to use a metric ass-ton of toilet paper to clean up. what am i doing wrong please help i want my life to change

Me (F) I use my bidet. Does it spray on the toilet seat behind me yes. My bf uses it and he says he has to sit so far forward so it angles his starfish correctly then he gets water everywhere behind him (tmi it gets on his junk and he freaks out) says he has to use more toilet paper drying himself than wiping. Is he using it wrong? Can we maybe change the water pressure so it doesn’t splash back on the seat behind us? Maybe using more tp is the cost of adding more water (bidet) to clean yourself?
