this is the one at our house

we got the mid range model. front and back sprayer for woman and butt. variable pressure and massage modes, AIR DRYER (sounds like a hair dryer when you use it), variable seat and water temperature control. the aim is quite accurate. the model after this one had a remote control and IR automatic seat cover up/down.

move toothbrushes away stat. ew.

what happen if you eventually shit on the rod, do you have to clean that instead?

The rod retracts out of the way when not in use. It extends when you turn the water on. Normally it stays clean but if you have explosive diarrhea, all bets are off.

but like when it's forcefully shoot water into your butt, i can imagine things could come out uncontrollably...

Not if you pucker.

depends on the brand/model. mine has auto self cleaning, so after every use when it moves back into its bay, it turns itself on and washes itself. if it requires additional cleaning you can set it to come out so you can clean it with a small brush/etc.

Yea, cold water on the tooch on a cold morning ain't no fun. Maybe I'll put this one in the guest bedroom and get another one later on.

You could always add an instant hot water heater in line with it.

cold water isnt in question here. the discussion refers to warm water.

Exactly. For being "The Greatest Country in the World" we are way behind when it comes to cleaning poo off our rears. I damn near jumped out of my chair when I saw a commercial for adult moist wipes. Not the ones for soothing, just for cleaning. I mean come on, why should the little kids have the superior crack cleaners?

I'm not sure if I'm ready to have water sprayed at my nether regions just yet. Like most in this country, I'm rather set in my ways. I'm willing to try though.

Thats why I bring along those moist wipes when I go camping.

Good idea.

Most bidet's have three valves, one for cold, one for hot, and the third is to adjust stream pressure/height. Adjust it to the proper temperature then sit and turn up the middle valve to the correct height. So if you like, you can burn your ass, chill your ass, or make your ass feel just perfect.

 

[Doomer]

I need to read the instructions because the stream seems awfully strong even on the the lowest setting. If I was to turn it on full blast, I'd have water coming out of my ears.

Uh, there's another use for a bidet, and it involves personal hygiene after intimate activities.

 

[takeru]

doomer did you get a bidet or a washlet? brand/model?

It arrived. Installation was easy and straight forward. You hook both hot and cold water to it. This is a bummer for me because you'd have to run the thing an hour before the hot water made it to the bidet. But if you can stand the blast of cold water, it does an outstanding job. The aim is perfect and with a little rotational movement, it cleans the entire bottom area very well. It also has an enema function which is nothing more than a high powered blast of water that penetrates you as you sit. The instructions say to stop it when you feel yourself getting full and then expel the liquid (nope, I'm not making this up, it really says this). Think I'll pass on the enema part but the cleaning works very well. All you have to do is dry your butt and you're squeaky clean. There's also a container for some kind of female fluid but the SO will have to figure out what that is.

Bottom line (pun intended), it is very effective and works very well. Much better than I had expected.

I was quite intrigued by the toto stuff until I read that statement:shocked:

edit:

not to use the pun purposefully but holy sh!t! The toto s300 is $1300 retail:Q
I'll admit it seems interesting but most units seem to start @ $400

I got this one Bidet

It's an el cheapo. I didn't want to put a whole lot of money in one without knowing if they worked or if I would like it. Next time around I'll get a high end model with built in heat and a warm air dryer. But i will say this, as far as it's intended function, this one does an outstanding job and works flawlessly.

and what kind of diet do you suggest where dry paper can magically clean SHIT properly? Toilet Paper is possibly the worst designed thing ever. I can't think of many less effective way to clean my ass.

Bidet > Baby Wipes >hand > anything else > TP

which one did you get? mine you just hook up a split from where the water goes to the toilet tank, and the other goes to the washlet into its own internal water reservoir where it heats it up like a hotpot. the water is always preheated in there, so even i just sit down immediately and decide to use the water spray its warm.[/q]

Seems like a waste of money/electricity to me.
For someone who only shits no more than 3 times a week for no more than 5-10mins at a time, does one really need access to preheated water in a bidet?
Aren't there any that are (or can be) activated when you sit on a toilet and within 5-10mins finish preheating the water?

I wouldn't waste money on a bidet that takes an hour to warm up.
I wouldn't waste money on one that stays warm 24/7 either.
