We've been talking about trying a bidet for a long time to help save some money on toilet paper. I was a little apprehensive about the idea of spraying cold water right at my boohole. Turns out I should have gotten a bidet much sooner. This one installed easily, just a couple of hose connections and then installing the bidet itself under the toilet seat.

We've been talking about trying a bidet for a long time to help save some money on toilet paper. I was a little apprehensive about the idea of spraying cold water right at my boohole. Turns out I should have gotten a bidet much sooner. This one installed easily, just a couple of hose connections and then installing the bidet itself under the toilet seat. It's thin enough that we didn't need the included spacers, which are nice - some bidets I looked at on Amazon don't include the spacers. The controls are easy to use. Set which spray to use - backside or "feminine wash", then turn the pressure control knob to turn it on with the pressure you'd like. I was nervous trying it the first time. I was also worried about it being "off target". Surely people's butts are in slightly different positions on the toilet seat all the time, and different positioning for different people? I need not have worried. I turned it on the first time and BAM, right up mainstreet! It took a few times to get used to it. We have pretty high water pressure in our house so turning on the pressure knob just enough to start spraying is plenty for it to clean well. The fact that the water is cold doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would, I don't even notice that it's cold at this point. We should have gotten a bidet years ago! A quick spray for a few seconds and you're all clean, then just a pat dry with a few squares of TP. We're going to save so much money on TP! Read Less

A story rarely ends well when it starts with "I was lying on my bathroom floor." but wait dear reader. It was a long, hot day, and I had to find something to do indoors. The new toilet seats had arrived & I was set to install this unit when they arrived, but alas, they were the wrong shape, and thus would need to be returned.

A story rarely ends well when it starts with "I was lying on my bathroom floor." but wait dear reader. It was a long, hot day, and I had to find something to do indoors. The new toilet seats had arrived & I was set to install this unit when they arrived, but alas, they were the wrong shape, and thus would need to be returned. Yet I had already started on assembling & installing the bidet. I had an afternoon of errands to run that were sure to exhaust me, but after letting some toilet bowl cleaner set in and giving it a scrub, I resumed the installation. Tips: 1. turn off the water to your toilet & then flush it. I knew to do this, but unless someone says to do it, you might not think of it. 2. While assembling the device, use the included teflon tape to seal the threading on your bidet's connections. 3. Actually get down on your side with the right tool to tighten it: parrot pliers or a crescent wrench. Hand tightening won't be sufficient grip. When I didn't do this, I briefly had a little water spray, but that's how you test it. With all the connections tightly sealed, I turned on the water for a second time & the tank refilled. The kit comes with thicker feet for the bottom of your toilet seat, but I didn't see a point to them with my seat, as this device is aptly named "slim." It adds about 4-5 millimeters to the back height of the seat, which is barely anything. How does a bidet feel? Well, it's like when you use a showerhead on your delicates, except it's cold water. I found that with the way I sit, it was aimed perfectly to clean any residual fecal matter from my backside, bringing a confident, clean feeling to me that should also cut back on our need for TP without using a lot of extra water. Prior to this, I might dampen a piece of TP to get cleaner, as "flushable wipes" are not flushable. And this doesn't use much water to do it, so you're helping the environment a bit, reducing clogs, improving your hygiene, and it'll save you money on TP within the first month. I didn't notice that the frontward spray got anywhere near, but the important thing for me was a clean bottom. And because it doesn't use a lot of water, it won't leave your seat damp. In conclusion, I think you'll agree that this product is worth it in the end. Update: After finally getting new toilet seats, I bothered to install the higher pads that come with this device, so that the seat sits better on the bowl with the added bit of height. It does help the angle for the jet of water to clean your posterior better, by just a bit. Also, pro-tip: for the disks you insert at the attachment points in back, it's better if you angle these in opposite directions. Think angry brows or sad brows: either diagonally one way or diagonally the other way. This will keep the seat from shifting. And naturally, make sure the bolts are good & tight for your toilet seat, to avoid a problem. Read Less
