Bidet attachment for a toilet. Absolute life changer.

Hell yeah bidet.

It’s sad how there are people out there who look down on the bidet. It really is a game changer. I still use toilet paper, but the process is so much cleaner and easier.

When putting it in, an older family friend (male) asked me, “oh you got that for your lady friend?” No…I want to save money and have a cleaner experience as a male.

Wait you have to put it in?

[-] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 5 points 1 month ago

I have the “portable” kind where you can just put it under the toilet seat you have and it connects to your toilet’s water system that brings in water. It was about $30 off Amazon.

It is really straightforward, but my issue was that after I installed it, I had unknowingly unscrewed one of the components in the toilet and it was leaking and I needed some help to figure that out and get it fixed correctly. It was when I was screwing in the new T shaped pipe that it was unscrewing something in the toilet.

There are also the kind that can come built in a toilet, usually on the higher end toilets, or you can get one of the dedicated bowls that is like a secondary toilet seated next to your toilet too.

A wrench and a screwdriver. That's all you need

I hate bidet hate. If I upend a bowl full of brownie batter on a shag carpet, I'm not going to "clean" it with dry paper towels. Use your heads, people!

The downside to installing a bidet is I now hate pooping without the home court advantage.

Truth, it ruins you for all the other toilets.

Ah, a person of culture. A most pristine brown eye.
