After traveling to Japan a couple of times I just couldn't go back to scraping my ass with dry paper like a filthy animal. I felt like a third-world savage using restrooms in Japan and reflecting on my own caveman-esque civilization back home. I bought a smart-toilet seat / bidet the second I got home. 250 dollars and the thing has a heated seat, press a button and it sprays you clean, oscillating function... You can adjust the water temperature and water pressure. Anywhere from a spittle to glorious paint-stripping power. The whole process is indescribably more comfortable and more hygienic. For the first couple weeks I'd give it one wipe afterwards to make sure there was no residual poo left in the area but it gets the job done EVERY SINGLE TIME. Without fail. The seat also has a drying function so I haven't used a single piece of toilet paper in months. If you don't have a couple hundred dollars to splurge on a high-tech life-changing toilet seat you can buy an attachment that is like the kitchen sink sprayer. I learned to use those in Thailand. I call it the ass-blaster. It isn't powerful enough to completely clean you but it severely reduces the amount of paper you need to use. The mix of water / paper is just so much cleaner. Think about it this way; if someone smeared poo on your arm, you wouldn't just scrape away at it with a dry piece of paper and call it clean.
EDIT: This is the model I bought if anyone is interested. Bio Bidet BB-600. I have friends who bought this same model and are happy with it as well. Toto is the gold-standard if you want to spend a little more. Happy to answer any further question in my quest to proselytize the paper-scrapers of the world and save the Canadian forests.
Fancy toilet. Heated Seat, water spray for front and back, dryer...holy god I would have paid 5x the price (around 500 bucks). So worth it.
Edit: The link to the product we bought. http://www.amazon.com/Brondell-S1000-EW-Advanced-Elongated-Toilet/dp/B0045UB9GK/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1345832488&sr=8-7&keywords=bidet+toilet+seat
What is your solution for the shower hair? I've just been draino blasting it when it gets clogged.
Edit: Wow I have a lot of replies!
Here are the top suggestions:
Get one of these. It took my husband and I six years to get one. I don't know why we waited so long. They're not that hard to put in, and if your complex is managed you can probably get a maintenance person to install it for you!
They seem foreign and difficult to use (especially the european/muslim style which is basically just a faucet/hose for manual washing in a separate basin).
But then I spent two weeks in Japan and the Toto Washlet is my new god. It's a bidet done right - anything less is uncivilized. And I think they could become very popular in America, because they're so easy and accessible and added on to existing toilets.)
Also - there are ones with dryers baked in: http://smile.amazon.com/Brondell-S1000-EW-Advanced-Elongated-Toilet/dp/B0045UB9GK/ref=sr_1_20?ie=UTF8&qid=1415205898&sr=8-20&keywords=toto+washlet
Upgrade?
I had the dilemma, after research we went with one with a heated seat and that has a resevior that heats the water up. No need to circulate water. I grabbed it on sale last year for $280. Best purchase ever. We both agree if there was any one tech we had to take with us - it was the bidet. We hate going to the bathroom anywhere but home

Added to my shower head after the fact!
I got an AquaBliss shower filter off of Amazon. It’s like $34 and really helped fix my hair. You can find my pre-filter hair after my move to Colorado in my post history.
I sleep with a humidifier too! I don’t know if that makes a difference, though!
They rock. I just installed this in my home and I love it:
http://amzn.com/B00JG3NVG2
I'm an American, and I always thought it was some weird foreign thing. Then I visited Japan and used one for the first time. AMAZING. Now I hate it when one's not available. So I just purchased two of those bad boys for my home. Amazingly clean every time, just use a couple of sheets of TP to dry off and you're on your way.
Seriously, get one. You'll wonder why it took you so long to convert. There are cheaper models by that same brand, also highly rated. I just wanted all the bells and whistles (hot+cold, retractable, self-cleaning, etc).
EDIT: It will also pay for itself pretty quickly when you consider how much less TP and baby wipes you'll need. I've had these for about a month, and my TP usage has gone down to about 1/4th what it was.
You can get pricier ones that will heat the water. Like this one, will heat the water, has a seat warmer and and warm air dryer. So basically you could be in a tundra, but your ass will be in a warm tropical oasis.
The cheaper models will just connect to your regular water line (either both the hot and cold line or just the cold) so you'd be SOL. But wouldn't a spray of freezing water up your ol' bumhole be just the pick me up you need to get you going in the morning?
It's kind of like this but it doesn't plug in:

Sorry about that! Here are some details.
I am a DIYer with no formal training. I just read a lot of stuff online (don't we all?). It took me 7 full days from start to absolute completion, 2 more days that I was expecting, but not bad overall. Total cost was around $2500. Luckily I have another full bath in the house.
Some of the components:
Vanity
Mirror
Tub
Glass door I purchased this at Lowes as well, but could not locate it on their website
Toilet with slow closing lid (will not slam down)
Floor Tile
Shower Tile
Accent Tile
Shower Head Highly recommended!!
The paint color is "Stone Fence" at homedepot 720F-4
I used an electric floor heating pad under the area that will be walked on, Although I have yet to experience a winter with it, I know how nice heated tile feels, it was worth the cost, about $250 just for that. Per the instructions, after you put the electric grid down, you are supposed to seal it down with mortar. I made my own, but if I were to do it again, I would have used the "pre-mixed" stuff from HD/Lowes so I did not have to worry about consistency/mixing it myself.
I used mortar as a base under the tub, although it was not required for that tub, I can NOT stand a squeeky tub, I am very glad I did this, I know I will never have to worry about it squeeking.
The biggest issue I ran into was tiling the shower, you don't realize how much square footage it really is. It was very tedious and it didn't help that I did not have a good tile saw, I'd recommend renting a good one so you don't drive yourself crazy as I almost did! It took me two full days to tile the shower.
I built an inverted shelf into the wall. This idea came after looking at pictures of a lot of tile showers online, this is how I got some of my inspiration. Just remember to put a slight incline into the base of the shelf so that water does not collect. I used Hardie-Backer for the walls (1/2in) and on the floor (1/4in).
If you need to drill holes into the tile (as I did to install the shower door), spend the money and get a good diamond bit, at my lowes, this good tile bit was not located with the tiling supplies (a cheap "kobalt" one was) it was located with all the other tools, the one I finally purchased that worked was from Hitachi and was something like $20 for one bit. I also used a dremel with a diamond cutting wheel to cut the holes for the shower plumbing, it took some time but was the easiest way I could think to do it.
One lesson I learned was to buy more than what you think you need, tile, adhesive, other supplies etc. Virtually everything can be returned for a full refund and it saves you an extra trip.
If you have any other questions, I'd be glad to answer them.
Just get one of these shower drain hair catcher things and throw away the trapped hair when you're done showering.
A super clean butt right out of the portos can be yours for less than $10. That's the real game changer.
Smart bidet for the bathroom. Once you've been to Japan, you're gonna
wantneed this in your home. We got a cheap one for just over $200 and it works really well.Also, the seat is heated... mmmm!
Here is something similar for pretty cheap you could install at home.
http://www.amazon.com/Temperature-Sensitive-LED-Faucet-Light/dp/B0015PWOK8
Do even more: Get yourself a bidet. Simple or fancy or something in between. It'll save the tush. Also, if you eat lightly the day before you start the cleanse, the whole thing goes easier. It's a lot of fuss over nothing and you get to avoid this type of cancer, at least.
I bought Ana Bath SS5450CBN a year ago. Best decision ever.
You should get one, they are awesome. I replaced my old shower head with a removable handheld one when I had surgery on my pelvic bone and needed to use a shower chair since my doctor told me I wasn't allowed to stand in the bathtub for about two months (if I fell in the bathtub during that time I'd have literally broken my butt). The initial plan was to put it back after, but I discovered that handheld showers are amazing.
Take the handheld shower down to clean the walls in the shower (rinsing your grout cleaner or whatever off the tiled walls). Hold the handheld shower so the cold water doesn't hit you when you first turn on the shower head instead of having to get in to the shower once it's already on. Use the handheld shower to better direct water flow to thoroughly rinse your groin area.
They're $20-$40 and totally a game changer and you don't realize how much better things could be until you have one. (Edit: I have this one by Delta for $25)
http://www.amazon.com/Hair-Stopper-Drain-Protector-Strainer/dp/B003B02L2G
No, they sell Bidet hoses you hook up to your waterline going into your toilet and they sit on the outside of the toilet.
Something like this.
We use a drain protector over ours that’s easy to clean. Won’t help with soap buildup but will prevent hair from going down the drain. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003M8GMUY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JDIBDb6N5DH3X
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003M8GMUY/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1367413462&sr=8-1&pi=SL75 this is the one we use.
Luxe Bidet Neo 320
This is the one we have. We love it!
ETA looks like it’s increased in price since we got it (it was just over $50 when we got it) but I’d buy it 10x over
Almost 6'3" here. One of the first renovations I've done in every place I've owned is raise the shower head in whatever shower I will be using. It's not really that big a deal if you can access the plumbing from the other side.
If you're renting or not that handy you can also used one of these for a quick fix.

Your new best friend
Feast your eyes upon this beauty:
Not a plumber but I've had good luck with these:
Evriholder HS Hair Stopper Bath Strainer, Pack of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003B02L2G/
For the tub, unscrew the existing metal drain stopper, poke a hole in the bottom of these plastic things and it'll prevent 99% of the hair from going in to your drain.
It has little plastic spikes that catch the hairs and you just clean that thing off occasionally.
Sink backing up I have no good advice.
My friend bought this one on amazon and swears by it, however there are cheaper (non-heated) ones there that I’ve also seen with positive reviews on Reddit.
Here's my life changing advice - http://www.amazon.com/BB-600-Ultimate-Advanced-Toilet-Elongated/dp/B007HIKQCK
Amazon, where else?
This is the one I have.
What you are feeling is soap scum.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_scum
Most liquid soap uses sodium lauryl sulfate "SLS" which doesn't react the same way.
Get a water softener. They even make ones that screw onto the showerhead, so perfect for renters. You just have to refill them more often.
A better idea would be to purchase a better showerhead. The brand can make an incredible difference in perceived pressure.
I have been a big fan of Speakman and (surprisingly) WaterPik. Here are my two favorites, and they are 45 minute long shower wife approved too.
http://www.amazon.com/Speakman-S-2005-H-Anystream-Showerhead-Polished/dp/B0055JJ5WK/ref=sr_1_12?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1382357494&sr=1-12&keywords=speakman+shower+head

> getting her feeling 'intimate and relaxed' with a massage first? Loosen up the muscles, help her forget about work/life before you start the foreplay?
Yes, exactly!
Massage can be the gateway for many women who are slow to warm up. "Foreplay" doesn't really work for a lot of us because our clits aren't responsive until we're already warmed up.
Some other things that can help: a long, hot bath or shower; meditation; a glass of wine or a few tokes of good weed; having a big block of time with no responsibilities and no interruptions; feeling especially loved and cherished. (Massage helps with that last one too.)
It's a pity she didn't try the vibes. I need a lot of help to get to my first orgasm, and introducing vibrators into both foreplay and sex has made a huge difference.
Some women who won't use vibrators find that water is a great masturbation aid. Maybe get her a pulsating handheld showerhead extension? Like this, for example. They're also great for bathing pets and little kids.
If she doesn't like the showerhead idea, she can lie back in the tub, stick her legs straight up, and slide her pussy under the faucet, or she can use a waterproof vibrator in the tub or shower.
But start with a2freema's idea. There are very few wives and moms who don't love getting a good massage!
If anyone is interested, you could do this yourself in 5 minutes for under $20.
You just need a new shower pipe like this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000MNJJ66/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1404920039&sr=8-3&pi=QL40
>Have you experienced multiple sheds while on treatment?
Yes. I still get at least 1 or 2 sheds a year. Stressed me out majorly the first few times, but now I just roll with the punches.
> How much hair do you usually use in the shower?
I use a hair catch like this one. It's not an exact science, but it gives me a good idea of the hair that's shed while showering. I'd say that it's a pinch of hair about every shower, but prior to Fin/Rogain/Niz I was slowing down the drain of water on those standard silver catches that has large holes in it.
Here's my "asshole with too much disposable income" version. .
The toilet seat is wonderful - I mean we're piping in and heating up water for the express purpose of making going to the bathroom a much better and toilet paper free experience. It even has a pink button for girls I never press.
The chair costs far less (and I bought mine in person for substantially cheaper than amazon sells it) than many people will spend on inconsequential upgrades for a car. It is soothing to know that on-demand you or anyone you choose to let use the chair can access a pleasant, therapeutic experience for the price of a dime's worth of electricity.
The parallel bars gave me access to press handstands, something I can do on concrete in public now without fear. I do street performance of acroyoga for fun and it's incredibly inviting to be able to be at ease playing acrobatically in public. The pole is crazy difficult, humbling, and a party in 4 square feet. AMA!
Bidet BB-50
Best investment ever.
http://www.amazon.com/Bidet-BB-50-Hand-held-temperature-adjustable/dp/B002ZBP93K
We have a hair stopper. It works pretty well. I used to have to use some sort of un clogging liquid at least once a month before this. We bought it cheaper at Walmart though. Definitely saves you money in the long run.
When I came home from Japan about a year ago I immediately bought a toilet seat that did most (not all) of the functions of the Japanese toilets.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007HIKQCK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_zaGrDbMFXPSFF
Pricey, but worth every penny. I looked in to the Toto toilets and seats but they're a bit more expensive so I decided to try this one first and it's pretty much everything I wanted. I may upgrade someday and move this one to my second bathroom, but for now I love it!
>You have to be frugal to get an adult clean on one tank
We used to use a garden sprayer camping too, but then discovered this incredibly simply little gadget and found we got more thoroughly rinsed and cleaner "feeling" on even less water than we used with the sprayer. That plus one of these = the most efficient camping shower that actually gets you feeling as clean as your regular shower at home can, the garden sprayer just never had enough pressure or volume to make you feel like the soap and grime is actually off your body, you know? :)
the top part you see here threads to a "nut" on the underside of the tub. with all that rust it might be difficult to get off, but you would just unscrew it (lefty-loosy). here's a pic: https://bathrenovationhq.com/wp-content/uploads/bathtub-drain-removal-2.jpg to give you an idea of what you're looking at.
for an easy fix, they make replacement drains that fit in what you have left: https://www.amazon.com/Recyclable-Snug-Plug-Drain-Stopper/dp/B003151V3Q. also might want to invest in a strainer like this so you catch the hair before it clogs.

Same here, and like many others I also bought a seat within a few weeks of coming home.
This is the model I have, and it's worked perfectly for about a year and a half now.
First, I'd recommend checking out r/SebDerm, there's a lot of great info there.
The exact cause of seborrheic dermatitis isn't yet known, so treating it is complicated. It may be the cause of a fungal infection or it may be genetic. You may want to consider seeing a dermatologist to help determine what is causing yours and the best treatment.
The two shampoos usually recommended are Head & Shoulders (like you're looking into) and Nizoral A-D. They each have different active ingredients; Head & Shoulders uses pyrithione zinc, while Nizoral A-D uses ketoconazole. Neither is inherently better, just be aware that you may have to try both to figure out what your skin needs.
How is your water at home? If you have hard water, that may be irritating your scalp as well. I went over this in an archived thread a while ago:
>Hard water is water that has higher mineral content. The usual suspects are calcium, magnesium, and sometimes iron. These minerals are present as cations (ions with fewer electrons than protons, giving it a positive charge), usually with a 2+ charge. That 2+ charge destroys the surfactant properties of soap, so rather than a soft lather, the soap forms a precipitate (soap scum).
>
>That soap scum that is difficult to wash off the sides of sinks and showers is also difficult to wash off your skin. The residue left behind can clog pores and irritate the skin. If your skin feels dry and itchy out of the shower, or generally dull, the hard water may be the cause. It also affects hair and scalp health. If your scalp feels dry and itchy, or like shampoos don't quite clean your roots, it's likely because of the soap scum buildup.
>
>If you're able to shower in an area with soft water, you can actually feel the difference. The water is almost slippery in comparison, and the soap feels lighter when you lather it. It also tastes a little sweeter, in my opinion.
Installing an entire water softener is often pricey, but there are decent filters that install in-line for your shower head that you can get for under $50.
There are also a number of home remedies that are recommended by users, but often have less research. It may be worth looking into as some people have success with these.
Anecdotally, a shower head filter was the best for me when I dealt with scalp irritation, this is the one I purchased. I can't say for sure that it was seborrheic dermatitis as I never went to a dermatologist, but the symptoms were very similar. Additionally, I use apple cider vinegar as a scalp treatment a couple times per week to give it a good cleanse. I dilute some and put it into a spray bottle, spray my scalp, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before showering. Sometimes I'll soak in a tub with some apple cider vinegar and that makes the skin on my body feel a bit exfoliated (ACV is acidic) and clears up any breakouts. u/PoopDoopTrixie wrote up an entertaining and informative review about apple cider vinegar baths.
Seborrheic dermatitis is often a long term problem, there isn't always a "cure". Similar to people who have sensitive skin or are acne prone, it's more about figuring out a routine that works for you. Hopefully this information is helpful, the best of luck to you!

There are other solutions, I just searched 'drain hair' on amazon.
Sure! I have [this bidet](Brondell S1000-EW Swash 1000 Advanced Bidet Elongated Toilet Seat, White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0045UB9GK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nKg5AbXEH37J7). It’s a seat you can fit on any existing toilet. We had to add a power outlet to our bathroom to do it. But that was like $300 and I did a price watch on the bidet and got it for $400 so all in for $700 and it is LIFE CHANGING. It has two washers, one for the butt and one for the cooch, you can select the temp of the water and the air, and the seat is warmed. It amazing. I’m gonna go use it now.....
Maybe they should just buy him a bidet. No more TP!
We got the Luxe Bidet Neo 320. For some reason it seems that the blue colored knobs make it $102, while the white colored knobs make it $58. I am pretty sure we paid about $40 though. I dunno, weird.

I recommend a shower head like this, and/or an extension like this. I have a similar setup, and it's pretty awesome. Obviously not helpful for the road, but for 95% of the rest of life it's great.

Not OP but I've installed the same at every place I've rented in the last 5 years. They have longer ones at Home Depot/elsewhere on the net, but they're all called the same.
Edit: "S-pipe"
you could get one of these drain protector thingies
Drano won't do diddly on lots of hair. My hair goes down past my waist, I've had to fix clogged drains for years. Try using a drain trap to catch hair. We have one of those types of drains that you push in the plug to fill the tub so we're using one of these and it fits over the drain, but there's lots of different kinds. That particular one doesn't have adhesive or anything to ruin the tub, and unless your tub drains really slow it won't float away while you shower. Haven't had clogged drains since (but the dog loves to snatch it from the tub and play with it, but that's besides the point).

Mine is a Brondell S-1000, and it cost me about CDN$650.
> Also, you have a bidet? Or has it identified something it's calling a bidet?
Spent a few months in far east (Japan/Singapore/Hong Kong) two years ago. First thing I bought when I returned was one of these. Let me just say it doesn't get 4.5 stars on Amazon for nothing!
I have one of these. It's amazing. http://www.amazon.com/Brondell-S1000-EW-Advanced-Elongated-Toilet/dp/B0045UB9GK
Eh, don't wipe
Just a thought: since you are going to have a washer/dryer setup in there, maybe it would be a good idea to include a floor drain? Just in case the washer leaks, or a hose bursts? Might save you a lot of headaches one day.........
And three outlets. One on either side of the vanity, and one down low by the toilet. This will allow you to power a warm water bidet:
https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-S1000-EW-Advanced-Elongated-Toilet/dp/B0045UB9GK
Once you experience it, you will wonder how you ever survived all this time without one......
You can get ones that have a dryer that also dry your ass after. https://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Elongated-Installation-Adjustable-Posterior/dp/B007HIKQCK/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1549824756&amp;sr=8-8&amp;
I bought a $79 hand bidet off amazon. It came in two days (no prime) and I had it installed it literally under 10 minutes. No electricity required, works great, and the thing has literally saved my ass. Highly recommend.
I've had this about 2 years (bidet sprayer). Regardless of what's coming out, this is nice to have (no more buying TP!)! And poo-pourri, which you can also DIY.

>Also does anyone know if the Toto washlet from costco is the C100 or the C200?
I don't think it's either of those. The Costco listing supplies "TOTO WASHLET T1SW2024", of which the SKU corresponds to the A200. This would be the model from Toto.
All of that being said, you don't have to spend hundreds of $$ for a quality bidet experience. This $60 model is what I've gifted to a number of first time users (for a great/useful birthday gift) and it's always been a hit.
Best of luck.
For less than $20 more you can have hot & cold. It adds another 30 minutes installation time, but you’ll be glad for it in February!

This might not be needed immediately after birth but a hair catcher for your shower. I found the hair loss frightening, but this saved my drain.
Other things:
Cases of water bottles, or a large reusable water bottle (or one for every room), whatever you’re in too. Got to keep hydrated, especially if you’re breastfeeding!
Snacks. All the snacks. In every room.
When my milk came it it came in crazy. I was wearing towels in my shirt over night for the leaking. You can get some cheap dish towels at the dollar store, and they also work great as burp cloths. The reusable and disposable breast pads are great as well but I loved stuffing a towel in when I was at home.
Stock up on soap, shampoo, etc. Like months of it because you don’t want to finally get into the shower and find out you don’t have conditioner. Speaking from experience. 😬
I second this. If your drain is a pop-up type they make ones that go over that too. If you go to Target sometimes they have ones with suction cups so they'll stay put better.
A shower curtain if you have the kind of tub/shower that needs one. Also get a hair stopper to prevent hair going down the drain! Something like this. If you have a tub and like baths I suggest a drain cover too to get an extra few inches of water/bubbles.
Enjoy your new house!
Congratulations!
I see you went with squishy bronze, good choice. I'm guessing that this is a step up in size for you, so you're body will need some time to get used to is. Be patient. I worked my way up to all day wear over a space of a couple weeks, and it was months before I sized up and started training for all day wear again. I'm no were even close to that with my latest. Practice makes perfect, you'll be taking it like a champ in no time.
Learning to relax is really the most important part of keeping it in honestly. The plug should be big enough that it will stay in on it's own as long as you keep your muscles from clamping down on it. You can practice your control by clamping down on it like you would cut off a turd mid motion. This has the pleasant side effect of pushing the plug up into your body and, if you're lucky, rubbing it against your prostate, which is it's own reward. Hold the contraction for 5 or 10 seconds then relax everything for 10 or 20 seconds. Repeat for a couple minutes. Your butt will be so tired, and your prostate so stimulated, that you won't be able to push it out.
Incidentally, learning to control those muscles makes a huge difference in how enjoyable any kind of anal play is. Learning to let something, or someone, slip into your ass with no resistance, but then clamping down on them and not letting them leave is fun.
Stopping nasty stuff is a little trickier, but honestly not much. Fiber supplements. For me Fiber-Con is simply the best bang for your buck. It will keep things firm and cohesive, and makes taking a dump a much cleaner, quicker, and a more comfortable process. Then it's just a matter of a quick rinse out with your douching tool of choice. I have a Bidet attachment on my toilet that I use for a quick rinse. But you can even use a sports bottle full of water. This takes a little practice too. To much water and you'll get water past the colon, that can get a lot more complicated and take a lot more time.
The kind I have is a handheld sprayer. Kind of like what you see on kitchen sinks, the little water guns. I just wash it with cleaner the same way I do the rest of the toilet. It doesn't really get dirty though. Because it sprays water out so usually anything is getting shot away from it. This is the kind I go. Worth every penny and I really mean that. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0108GMCWY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So... like every Japanese toilet? They usually sell the covers for few hundred.
I like the heating part, but I did not find the spray very useful.
The drier is awful. It pushes all the odours out in your face. Yuck.
If I had my own house I'd get one though.
It's never been a huge problem for me but there are models that heat the water up. They are more expensive and more complicated to install though.
I have a friend that has this bad boy but the price jumps from $40 to $250. He swears by it though.

Sounds like an allergy to something you’re using in the shower or the water itself. Are you on well water? Or could be hard city water.

There have been times I was showering and noticed a spider on the wall above me and although I keep an eye on it...at some point I look up and it's fucking gone, nowhere to be found!
Anyway, I have this thing in my drain that catches the hair. You might find this useful.

Invest in some shower drain covers, they've done wonders for my household full of long haired creatures.
Me too. Two long haired females in my house so after the plummer came and snaked a ton of hair out I got the only kind that works. It gets all slimy, you must clean it after every shower, and the water doesn't drain properly. Fucking blows.
I am happy because I called into work today to do math homework. I'm unhappy because I'm hungry T.T But that'll be fixed soon!!
I would love this which is in my "Random Things" wishlist.
Something like this?

There's not really any bidet you could call mainstream in the US, but one product that comes kind of close is the Toto Washlet, a popular and well-liked item that's been around a while. Take a close look at the pros and cons to see if it would meet your needs, as it's not strictly a bidet like the kind you'd find in, say, Italy.
You could probably find a plumber or kitchen/bath remodeler in your area who could handle the installation—and given the skill level you're describing, I would leave the job to a pro.
More than you might think.
You do. Just search amazon for washlet
For what it's worth, I had one of those and it worked for probably a year. It just broke off within the last week. You just need to have a properly sized faucet I suppose.
I think this is it. It's not super amazing, but for $3 it's not bad. Or, at least the one I got wasn't.
I think every home, no matter how big or small, should have something interesting or quirky! I suggest this, this, and/or that
Good luck in the new apartment!
Temperature controlled faucet light! just because it's awesome :D How easy was that?
HOME SWEET HOME! And missed you too. :)
And faucet thingy!

One of my best purchases ever, until my wife moves it for some odd reason.
Would love something like this. Had my knee replaced 4 months ago and have some pain in a few spots.
Nothing beats a great shower after a long hard day of work.
Love the color Navy Blue and White.

You know what else is a nice upgrade? 2 shower heads.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0043BEUXK?psc=1&amp;ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
a good shower is essential. I bought this setup recently and it is the best thing ever
... This one even has a remote! https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-S1000-EW-Advanced-Elongated-Toilet/dp/B0045UB9GK/ref=sr_1_21?s=kitchen-bath&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1469732134&amp;sr=1-21&amp;keywords=bidet
Room for one?
They make versions that are simply toilet seat replacements.
https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-S1000-EW-Advanced-Elongated-Toilet/dp/B0045UB9GK
Pricey for a toilet seat, to be sure, but well worth the money. You can usually find this model on sale for closer to $400 if you are patient.
There are other cheaper models that don't have features like heated seats, a remote, inline heaters and self-sanitizing nozzles; but those last two options are pretty much a must-have.
The inline heater is great if you live in cold regions, as cold water on the cornhole isn't that much fun and nobody really wants to have to clean the nozzle themselves.
This is the one I use at home and have for the past six years. Though this appears to be the same except colored blue and white vs just white and it's 7 bucks cheaper.
If you just search amazon for bidet, there are tons of options, from the basic one that I link above to ones that use front and back warm water, blow dry you, spray fragrance and have a remote control (and also cost $600 O_o).
Don't have a pic but I have the Bio Bidet BB-600 and it is one of the best purchases I've ever made!
I would also highly recommend getting a bidet toilet seat over just an attachment. They are a lot more expensive but the features you get are totally worth it. My favourite features are the heated water, distinct buttons for adjusting the nozzle position and pressure, and the oscillating spray which helps cover a larger area overall without you having to do anything. It also has an autonomous mode which does everything for you with the push of the button and it even has a built-in air dryer that goes with it (although it takes a really long time so I usually just end up using a few squares of TP to dry the water off.
The only downside to me is that the nozzle pressure and position reset after every use so I keep having to put them back which is kind of annoying but I suppose if multiple people use your bidet regularly it makes sense. I also can't really sit on my toilet seat lid anymore but that hasn't been a big deal to me.
Overall I'd give mine a 9/10, and would recommend others to get one.
I have these on my toilets. Makes it easy to keep clean. Maybe that would be a hint, at least if she was at your place. Plus, if you're setting a tone of washing up yourself before sex, I think your partner is more likely to follow suit.
The idea of getting her to shower with you is a good one. Really, if she turns that down, I don't think anything short of directly asking is going to do it.
Luxe Bidet Neo 320 - Self... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JG3NVG2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Here you go! This is the bidet that comes with option of both hot and cold water
This one apparently attaches to your hot and cold water supply (from under the sink)
i have Luxe Bidet Neo 320, works fine. except the hot water takes a while to turn hot (just like the sink) which i didn't think of. you can run the sink first for a while and then the bidet will produce hot water when you turn it on.
The sitz bath is a bucket the goes on the toilet seat, it's filled with warm water & then a bag of water hangs with a tube that attaches to the bath that squirts the water into the bucket. It creates a swirling bath of warm water that the vulva sits in to sooth pain. You don't use this after a c-section.
I had 2 c-sections. A belly binder is a must, the hospital should provide one. They come in different sizes, so if the first one doesn't fit ask for another size. Put it on before standing up. Having 2 reusable gel ice packs is nice on the incision. If you can get them, cloth menstrual pads are way nicer to wear for 4-8 weeks than disposable pads (soft, breathable & less leaks). You can't use a menstrual cup postpartum even with a c-section. High waist underwear are great, low cuts bother my incision months later. A peri bottle isn't necessary with a c-section, but it's nice to not have to bend. They give you one at the hospital, but I prefer using a travel bidet with a bent neck like this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O92IF6Q/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_.qo2AbE60N95N
This kind of drain cover will work: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCEBMFM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_-osbAbDRBFXHA (sorry forgot how to do links on mobile!)
Go buy one of these http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Silicone-Protector-Pop-Up-Regular/dp/B00OCEBMFM , it solved my hair drain issues.
[This one] (http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Silicone-Protector-Pop-Up-Regular/dp/B00OCEBMFM/ref=pd_sim_hg_2?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=1SKM8P49M7MS1BA330A9) is made to be tall enough for your drain and hopefully won't let anything slip underneath. Plus I love OXO...
Exactly bro. After living in SE Asia where the Hand Held bidets are everywhere, I couldn't go back to just paper. Gross.

It blows warm air but tp is more effective. And yes. I put that outlet in.
I also got a cheap one, couldn't get a tight seal, had a small leak. So I returned it and splurged on this one. All quality connectors.
I've owned a couple by this brand - I disagree. These ones are a pain to clean and have parts that wear out much faster. They're also more prone to leaks due to the cheap plastic and gaskets they use internally.
This is the best one I've found thus far. It's not as "sit, shit, and forget" as the underseat ones, but in terms of cleaning and utility it's much better. Aesthetically it looks nicer, too.
https://www.amazon.com/RinseWorks-Patented-Certified-Warranty-Extension/dp/B01CF51ZJ2/
I just recently installed one that's like the sink sprayer in the kitchen sink. It was like 40-50 at Amazon. Here's the link and a video of the product. They do feature video footage of someone wiping shit off of a corn cob:
https://www.amazon.com/RinseWorks-Patented-Certified-Warranty-Extension/dp/B01CF51ZJ2/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=aquaus&amp;qid=1556898520&amp;s=kitchen-bath&amp;sr=1-2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuZs2NuI7VY
If you have one of the toilet seat ones your plan won’t work.
But something like this one works well for both uses: RinseWorks - Aquaus 360 Patented Hand Held Bidet Sprayer - NSF cUPC Certified for Legal Installation - 2 Backflows - Dual Pressure Controls - StayFlex https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CF51ZJ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_GSsomWbfbOshH
If you're a womain, I'd reconsider the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 for the reason that it has only 1 sprayer for the booty but not the lady parts. The problem you run into as a lady is that you risk infection spraying all the poo upfront. If you're a guy, not too bad a problem. I recently switched over to a handheld bidet and I would not go back to an under the seat bidet. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CF51ZJ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
&#x200B;
I like this because it is multi-functional and doesn't have just one task. Besides cleaning your parts with it, it comes in handy for cleaning the toilet too. My toilet is also right next to my shower, and it is super helpful in cleaning the shower, too. The only thing I find mildly annoying about it is that it is recommended that you turn off the water at the t-valve after every use just in case the sprayer springs a leak or something, but the simple adapter that comes with bidet makes this easy, you just have to remember to do it.
Looks like iron to me. CLR will probably fix it, but I'm not sure what it's called over there. It's a simple acid that removed minerals. Just soak the whole shower head in it.
Once you get the grout clean, seal it. If you know the exact grout used it will be helpful.
Lastly, you might try getting a shower head filter. Ugly, but works well. Makes your hair wash better as well.
Ideally you want to treat the water itself, but if you don't own the home that's probably not an option, and if you do it's not a quick and easy job, with the exception of a whole house filter that can usually be installed with simple hand tools, assuming it is a push-to-fit system and doesn't require soldering or anything exotic.
Do other parts of the house have this problem? If not, it may be the electric shower disintegrating, possibly because of acidic water.
Do you know what your pipes are made of?

Your municipal water might have changed. Give your hair a treatment to strip all the products from it.
I prefer the baking soda soak and wash. After thorough rinsing follow with Apple cider vinegar.
this one got really good reviews and it's on sale for less than $32. might actually try one myself!
I use this one
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G7AZB96/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
It works really really well, although you do have to look up what kind of chlorine/flouride is in your city water. I think the info is in the reviews for the product but there's a certain kind that some cities use that pretty much no filter can filter out.
Two other good options are just a basic Zinc Pyrithione shampoo (make sure it’s sulfate free) or sulfur soap. I found the Ketoconazole was just too much for my skin, and washing daily with a much milder soap helped a ton!
It’ll take time to heal - mine took almost two months! I also made sure to keep my shower water filtered in case I was getting buildup on my scalp.

That is the one I use.
Replaced stock apartment showerhead with this https://smile.amazon.com/75700-Universal-Showering-Components-Handshower/dp/B000LV7VXW/ . Its cheap and plastic, but its been going strong for four years and adds about 8 inches to the height of the shower. Took about ten seconds to install. Plus how the hell did we effectively rinse our taints before removable showerheads?
The 396 gph version isn't much more expensive. To keep from using too much ice, you could start by letting the pot rest on its own for a few minutes (try a hop stand!), then switch to cold tap water through the pump, then switch that out for ice water. The key is just maintaining a high differential between the wort and whatever you're cooling with.
Another option -- and this is a little off the wall -- is to use your shower. You could switch to a handheld shower, get a diverter, or get a showerhead with a splitter that would let you easily swap in your wort chiller. Handheld showers use a pretty standard 1/2" thread.
I always thought these colored shower heads were cool. Here is a nice hand-held one
I don't really have a shower ritual, I do shower at night instead of in the morning. I like to sleep in as much as possible plus I don't sweat that much at night so there is no real issue with no showering in the morning.

My ritual is I play some bball in the afternoon then play and sing a little queen in the shower. I know it's exciting.
I have a lot of pain issues and the doctors won't give me enough pain meds to last me. Hot showers help. I sit on a icechest/cooler in the shower stall (no tub) and let the hot water hit me. I do this several times a day to ease the pain. I am disabled so I can't afford to buy one of those showerheads right now. I have been really wanting a nice hand held showerhead like this one and one of these.
So, then I could attach that thing to the stall lower down and put the hand held showerhead in it right above my back and just sit there and let it soothe the pain for awhile.
It's a very nice thing you are doing regardless of who you pick. Peace.
Do you have one of these?
Have you had any problems with thrush?
> fancy shit like detachable showerheads
Here's one for $25 as a retrofit.
No. Get one of these and reach every inch of your body.
I have this one ($27, prime) and love it.
I like showerheads that basically take your skin off on their strongest setting. While this isn't quite that (only because I'm spoiled with one we got from Target that basically abuses you with water pressure), even with the low water pressure we have it works really well for a "not expensive" shower head.

Extremely easy to install, just don't forget the teflon tape
These ones are better!
I'd go with an s curve shower arm instead. I'm 6' 2" and put one on my shower and it works perfectly, the adjustable kind can and will leak eventually.
For a glorious showering experience, try this raincan showerhead. I don't know how lived without it now.

by buying a crappy faucet LED
PENS!!!!
i really need a color changing water faucet!
$0-5Glow faucets?!
$5-10 Nutella is delicious and everone should try it
$10-20 What can I say, I love...love, salame
$20-50 I've played it once and was hooked
That seems to be ridiculously overpriced for basically adding a 3rd color to the traditional red/blue faucets. ($5.89 + Free Shipping on Amazon) and my company has been selling these forever, currently ($3.99 + Calculated Shipping)
I shot the video for these - the only problem is that they are too long, and would only really work with long-necked faucets.
Toilet paper...an uncivilized weapon. I never thought that something so close to the toilet could change my life forever...and then I met the bidet. Solves environmental and hygenical problems in one fell swoop. Not to shit (har har) on your ideas...but here: http://www.amazon.com/Bidet-BB-50-Hand-held-temperature-adjustable/dp/B002ZBP93K/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1311196686&amp;sr=8-7

I first encountered them when I traveled to Lebanon. They attach to the valve on your toilet. I just ordered one myself.

This is the one I have. Installs in 5 minutes from someone with 0 plumbing experience. They're standard in every restroom in the middle east, kind of gross that here in USA most people are still smearing their feces around their cheeks.
The surgery is a lot to deal with but when it's over you will feel like you have your life back. I bought a bidet from amazon and it really helps me.

This greatly eased my transition into the wonderful world of "how the f* is the bathtub clogged again." One of the best purchases I ever made, as anyone who has yanked out a 3-month-old lump of shampoo, long hair, and bodily remnants can attest to.
Edit: That's a two-pack. Should be cheaper than that...
If this is your personal video (and even if it's not) invest in one of these
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B003B02L2G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_T.vYBbS2T9Z71
You guys need one of these.
Once you get moved in and everything, I'd suggest having someone buy one of these. You can probably find them cheaper at a store close to you, but they really do help. My sister has had problems with her hair clogging the drain because it's really long, and this helps tremendously.
I have one of these. I have long hair and live with my boyfriend, who is usually the one who removes the wad of hair.

One ritual I have is setting the shower head to the highest mode it can go and let it hit my back. Almost as good as a back massage.
I've been drooling over [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Ana-Bath-SS5450CBN-Function-Showerhead/dp/B0043BEUXK/ref=sr_1_cc_3?s=aps&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1372183825&amp;sr=1-3-catcorr&amp;keywords=shower+heads) shower head for a while now. I guess my only shower ritual is to take a dump while waiting for the hot water to heat up. That and brushing my teeth while on the pot. Not really a shower ritual per se, but close enough.
Don't know your budget but this one looks nice.
I listen to music in the shower usually. It helps my phobia of being alone. I also use a shower chair because I'm disabled and take ten breaths between everything or else I'll be out of breath for 30 mins after. Showering is a big pain in my ass. I don't do it every day anymore.
I'd rather have one of these

That's where I was first introduced to these, but no longer do I have to travel halfway across the world just to have a clean and warm butthole. You too can poop in paradise for just a few hundred dollars.
but then do I use a towel to dry my tookis? I've never used a bidet and don't know the etiquette . I also saw this bidet that installs under the seat which is a little cheaper. But I think if I got one, I would go all out and get a heated seat, and heater water bidet, something like this, then I could finally shit in comfort.
It's the ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_AeyDCbZ858CXG part of the url that lets amazon know who the referrer is, they get paid a % of the sale depending on the product type. So if it's not you, then whichever referrer you've been to last will get the referral money from anyone who buys this product or anything from amazon for a set amount of time.

That's the link without the referral part, but in this case that just leaves more money in Amazon's pocket, so I'd rather it have been your own referral link!
After traveling to Japan a couple of times I just couldn't go back to scraping my ass with dry paper like a filthy animal. I felt like a third-world savage using restrooms in Japan and reflecting on my own caveman-esque civilization back home. I bought a smart-toilet seat / bidet the second I got home. 250 dollars and the thing has a heated seat, press a button and it sprays you clean, oscillating function... You can adjust the water temperature and water pressure. Anywhere from a spittle to glorious paint-stripping power. The whole process is indescribably more comfortable and more hygienic. For the first couple weeks I'd give it one wipe afterwards to make sure there was no residual poo left in the area but it gets the job done EVERY SINGLE TIME. Without fail. The seat also has a drying function so I haven't used a single piece of toilet paper in months. If you don't have a couple hundred dollars to splurge on a high-tech life-changing toilet seat you can buy an attachment that is like the kitchen sink sprayer. I learned to use those in Thailand. I call it the ass-blaster. It isn't powerful enough to completely clean you but it severely reduces the amount of paper you need to use. The mix of water / paper is just so much cleaner. Think about it this way; if someone smeared poo on your arm, you wouldn't just scrape away at it with a dry piece of paper and call it clean.
EDIT: This is the model I bought if anyone is interested. Bio Bidet BB-600. I have friends who bought this same model and are happy with it as well. Toto is the gold-standard if you want to spend a little more. Happy to answer any further question in my quest to proselytize the paper-scrapers of the world and save the Canadian forests.

What exactly can't you do with it
So, er, if I bought this from Amazon (it actually was from Amazon.com at the time, not a TP seller), and it came with an offer for a free showerhead if I leave a review... Should I be reporting that? It says to "e-mail us a link to your review along with your choice of free gift and shipping address." It doesn't say anywhere that it has to be a good review, though.
I've bought and used multiple ones over the years. There are many different kinds, different categories, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.
I've used this and this before. And my brother had something like this which was very luxurious. :-)
Give yourself a home enema each time with a more industrial model - it's all a question of water pressure and angle after that. Glorious feeling knowing it's all gone
I bought a spray nozzle that just hooks to the side of the toilet -- it attaches to the water line between the wall and the tank. So glad I did it. Only downside is that it's just hooked up to the cold water, which doesn't bother me too much.
This is the one I bought, although there are cheaper versions:
https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-CSL-40-CleanSpa-Shattaf-Sprayer/dp/B00BEBFV08
Yes absolutely, you can install a bidet on a toilet.
There are two types of "after-market" bidets. The main kind looks like this:
http://www.amazon.com/LUXE-Bidet-Vi-110-Non-Electric-Mechanical/dp/B005IT4C6G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1381937146&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=bidet
These are great because they are automated for the most part, you just turn it on and adjust the pressure with the dial next to you.
The second type is actually called a douchette, or handheld bidet and looks like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Brondell-CSL-40-CleanSpa-Shattaf-Sprayer/dp/B00BEBFV08/ref=pd_sim_hi_7
I have a friend that installed this kind and likes it, but I prefer the first kind, because I don't have to hold it with my hand.
Just hose it out with one of these. Once you get used to it it's really very refreshing.
I agree, but you don't even need the full seat, just get one of these. Installs in 5 minutes and will change your life! I think I need that LED toilet light btw.
This is why some genius invented the ass shower.

Indeed, bolt-on bidets are a godsend for those of us blessed with furry behinds but it’s still nice to do a flyby inspection for any stragglers.
Edit: I highly recommend this bad boy in case anyone is wondering
We have this one. It's fantastic. Hooks to both hot and cold lines, avoids OP's rectal scarring.

i bought these for every floor drain in my kitchen. keep these on top of the standard mesh drains and I greatly reduced all my plumbing issues, they seriously rock.
keeping your staff on top of always having clean drains is super important
Maybe on of these then.
I'd love one of those, but our drain has the type of cover that you lift and twist to lock in the open position. This helps keep most of it out, but some of it manages to get through.
Also invest in something like this: Show Drain Hair Catcher
Keep the problem from happening to start with.
Why not just buy this?
I haven't read every comment so I may be repetitive. There's definitely a lot of specific things that I would bring myself to live with my boyfriend, but here are a few things to help her out that I like having in my own bathroom:
-a small trashcan
-Q-tips
-tissue/Kleenex
-a hair trap for your shower drain (this is the one I use. it's worked the best for me and I have waist-length, thick hair)
-maybe one of those shower hangers so there's extra space to put toiletries
-baby wipes (make sure to always throw them away, even if they say flushable! they can fuck up your pipes)
-lint roller
-baby powder
-small bottle of baby shampoo (I use this for cleaning makeup sponges/brushes)
-Febreze for when you guys blow up the bathroom
Again, these are suggestions and may not be specific to her! Don't feel obligated to get everything. Maybe ask her as well :)
Edit: Just realized I only included bathroom stuff 😐
A shattaf (hand bidet) can be very easily installed.
It's basically a sprayer attachment (like the kind on some kitchen sinks) that you plumb between the toilet water supply valve and the tank.
So the water supply will split between the tank (to fill it) and the shattaf, which usually has its own valve (to avoid leaks).
Here is one that seems OK (B grade on Fakespot) but more than I'd recommend spending if you aren't sure about incorporating this into your lifestyle.
You could always go the third-world route (like I was accustomed to) to get familiar with the practice (or even do it long-term), and use a pitcher/watering jug.
Why don't you install bidet in your home I just installed This
there are cheaper options at Amazon for both styles that I know of:
None of them need any significant renovations.
We have had this one for over 2 years and had no issues.

NTA, especially in regards to your son. I think it's more than reasonable to expect your SO/child to be wearing fresh underwear everyday, especially if your child is still learning to wipe their bottom.
I also used to use wet wipes and recently purchased a hand held bidet. It's honestly changed my life. Now I can spray clean and then just use a little tp to dry off. Just a recommendation if you're open to it! I've save a ton of money buying less wet wipes and can feel a bit better about not having to throw them away all the time.

Two words: Bidet seat.
You’ll never go back. Heated seat is awesome in the winter and frankly, you’ll be a lot cleaner. I hate going anywhere else now. This is the one I bought:

I use a handheld one that lives outside the toilet because I had these kinds of concerns when looking at the ones with the spray inside the toilet. Because I'm aiming it, I can take care to direct the spray so that no cross-contamination occurs, as it were. I also picked one with a variety of extensions so that I could find an optimal length to maximize both hygiene and ergonomics.
Yes!
I've got a handheld one, it's awesome! Shower fresh after every poop!
This is the one I got.

Please don’t use wipes, they are horrible for plumbing no matter what the container says
I would recommend a bidet attachment instead of the cloth diaper specific sprayers. You can use it long after diapering is done. We have this one and are really happy with it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CF51ZJ2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_r84QAbP7GRSNH
I tried the Luxe Bidet Neo 120 as well and even the "1" was way too strong for me.
[The RinseWorks - Aquaus 360] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CF51ZJ2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) on the other hand has a great range of pressure and is also much more wieldy. I absolutely love it and I haven't used TP at home since I got it. Just watch out where you aim it...I definitely sprayed myself in the face during one very sleepy midnight pee.
I applaud your desire, but 221 parts per million of total dissolved solids is actually pretty good. The World Health Organization says that water with a TDS (total dissolved solids) of 1,000 PPM is “acceptable” and under 600 PPM is “good.”
You can do all that you've researched. I have no idea how long you will get out of those filters. Gallons per year is going to determine their longevity; but I wouldn't be surprised if this costs several hundred dollars a year to maintain.
You'd be better off (read as cheaper) to install an R.O. system for drinking, but leave the rest of the house (dishwasher, clothes washer, and toilets) on city water. If you want a nice shower, look at the cartridges:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7AZB96
Seems like a lot of work for a few hundred parts per million; but of course it is entirely your call.
Get a whole filter if you want, but are your only real issues in teh shower? If so, they make some shower heads that have filters built in. This is super easy to do, but again, just a point of fuse.

Recently did the same thing. I haven't quite got it figured out but it's getting better.
After I co-wash i do a ACV rinse then condition again. I also wash my hair with ION shampoo from sally's every other week. By far the most improvement I saw was when I bought a filter for my shower.
AquaBliss High Output Universal Shower Filter with Replaceable 3-Stage Filter Cartridge - Chrome https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G7AZB96/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_1FIkybPRD52SF
Super easy to install, just unscrew your shower head screw this on and then attach your shower head back on. No tools needed! It doesn't filter all the minerals out. They have ones that do but they are expensive and require a bit more work. This did help immensely though.
Like i said, my hair is nowhere near what it was when I moved to Florida 2 months ago but it a hell of a lot better than it was a week after I got down here. Before I installed the filter I was having a hard time combing my hair when it was completely saturated with conditioner.
Good luck!
Edit : Just re-read and saw your did try a new shower head. Damn.
Here's the one I picked up. I researched for a while because there's so many options out there and I've been pretty satisfied with it. Both skin and hair wise.

Hello! I am dealing with something exactly the same right now. About a month and a half ago I purchased this shower head (recommended by my hair lady because my normally silly blonde hair has become straw and brassy):

That said, this didn’t help my skin. This shower head paired with Malibu C shampoo and conditioner helped my hair though. I am actually getting a whole resident water softener installed Wednesday because my skin cannot take it anymore. I was having horrible break outs, my face is constantly peeling and the derm told me I know have contact dermatitis from the water + using my regular skincare routine that contains actives. My skin was HORRIBLE and about 2 weeks ago I stopped getting my face wet in the shower and have only been washing my face with distilled water and using only a little moisturizer and rose water toner and very minimal concealer to let it heal. My guess is if you are also breaking out more frequently, you might have a damaged moisture barrier like me. :( such a pain in the ass but my skin is finally healing. I also purchased a water testing kit and it showed my water to be EXTREMELY hard (500 range). This might help verify if it is actually your water causing you problems, though I would bet money you are spot on.
Thank you. Did you install the filter with this?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MUBU0YC
Honestly, since you said this started when you moved I think this is all you need. Hard water can cause havoc on your hair: can lead to scalp buildup, dandruff, and hair loss. I think just making this small change will make a huge difference.
I also think you should go back to getting a trim every other month.
Lastly, don’t underestimate the impact biotin can have on your hair! I personally recommend biotin and ashwagandha. The later makes a huge difference on your stress levels, which leads to decreased cortisol production, which means less dandruff!
Apparently someone who didn't know there's a limited choice in TV nowadays.
I haven't bought a new TV in over a decade. Mostly because I was always broke and moving around. Didn't make financial sense to own a nice TV if my next place may not have space for it and the logistics to move it cross-country wasn't appealing.
Now that I'm actually financially stable, I don't think I want a TV. I could spend the money on a new fridge or super toilet seat.
True, but you don't carry your wipes there, either. I've managed to avoid using public restrooms all but twice for two years, though.
Oh, actually, if you're really dedicated to the cause they do make portable bidets but I don't think I would tote one around with me unless I had some kind of medical condition that made it worthwhile.
My life has changed completely with my Ass Blaster2000. I have, rather than a bidet, a sprayer (shattaf -- the best named thing ever), my toilet is right across from my sink (which the AssBlaster 2000 attaches to). I sit down to do my business, adjust the water temperature to a nice warm setting, let my asshole do it's duty, flip the little lever and spray down the butt-crack. The warm water, the almost erotic anal massage (good water pressure), a few dabs with TP to dry and I AM CLEAN.
My AssBlaster 2000 changed my life. The 'roids never ever get super bad anymore. It's like a sink sprayer, so can be used to wash out diapers too after sex play. Or what ever people use diapers for.
Seriously, I cannot imagine life with-out one. I use a washlet squirt bottle at work. Sometimes I spray down the ass between sets, just to freshen up.
Do it. Seriously, just try one. You dirty dirty boy.
