How do you not drip back onto it? Do you use paper too? How is it okay for me to use the same one right after Typhoid Larry? Doesn't poo go everywhere?

It just seems so weird.

There are a number of videos on how to use a bidet but one of the best resources is Tushy.

I didn't see any heated bidet options there, do they have one? I'd like to retrofit my toilets with warm water bidets.

Some have heated seats. I had it before, and now don't, I don't miss it even though it was nice. Not worth the money in my opinion.

[–] AngryCommieKender 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't care about the seat, that's just a quick second. I want the water heated. Cold toilet tank water may be clean, but I moved to the most southern part of California for a reason. I super babby hate the cold.

i had heated water on that last one as well. Unlike the heated seat I don't miss it. You can get it if you want, but I don't reccomend it.

[–] AngryCommieKender 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the lack of recommendation due to expense or poor design/implementation?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

expense. I don't have it now and don't miss it.

[–] AngryCommieKender 1 points 1 year ago

Fair enough, thanks for the info.

You have basically two choices for the nice, high end ones that install on toilets. Biobidet and Toto. I went with the former, but either one makes excellent models.

Note that to use it properly, it’s best to get an outlet under your toilet tank. They do have to plug in.

Toto means pussy in Spanish.
