(Part 3) Best bathroom fixtures according to redditors

I literally just used my bidet while reading this.

People, don't underestimate the power of a clean ass. In the states, standalone bidets aren't common. The bidet I'm using hooks up to my toilet and I got it for $30.

EDIT: Here's the model I use.

I shower in the dark every morning. I also have this. Best. Purchase. Ever.

"if you stepped in dog poop in your bare feet, would you blot it with paper towel, or would you wash it off with water?"

$35 is a great start, and when you're ready for snobbish luxury...

​

https://www.amazon.com/TOTO-SW2014-01-Electronic-SoftClose/dp/B0165UFOGS

• Gentle aerated, warm water, dual action spray with oscillating feature
  
• Elongated heated seat with temperature control
  
• Self-cleaning wand automatically cleans inside and out before and after use

So, I just went through my Amazon orders and pretty much every single thing I saw that I bought for myself I thought was the best thing I ever purchased.

With great pain and strain, I narrowed it down to these three things:

• Inflatable Japanese Soaking Tub // I've always desired a deep bathtub that is in the Japanese soaking tub style. I had dreams of remodeling my bathroom to put in such a bathtub but when I priced it out the price tag had a lot of figures and made me very nervous. This device packs up to the size of two furled full size golf umbrellas side-by-side, but also fits into my existing bathtub and creates the soaking tub I so desire. Oh, and it cost under $100. Far less than a bathroom reno.
  
  
• Klymit Static V Insulated // It truly is a super crazy comfortable sleeping pad/mat for side sleepers. I camp with a quilt, rather than a sleeping bag, but that hasn't been a problem.
  
  
• ThermaRest Ultralight Cot Knock Off // At $40 vs $100+ for the name brand, but with the additional cost of 2 lbs, I am really happy with this cot. It is delightfully comfortable and I use it when traveling. I can sleep on my side without any sore spots developing.
  
  Edited to add links.

I've got a couple ideas, maybe one of them will work for you.

First, I assume you're changing your pads/tampons often, so that's not the issue. Maybe consider using a portable bidet whenever you use the restroom. They clean waay better than toilet paper, and aren't harsh like some wipes.

Second, I don't want to beat a dead horse or anything, but consider trying out a menstrual cup if you haven't already. They just seem to me to keep everything contained a little better.

Third, keep in mind your sense of smell might be in high gear during your period. Like, seriously bloodhound level (no pun intended). Next time you think you stink, consider asking a close friend to give you their opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if you're the only one who notices.

Or use the hand sprayer type

https://www.amazon.com/Veken-Bidet-Non-Electric-Cleaning-Adjustable/dp/B07H2DWVMK it's a Veken bidet :)

It'll change your life!

I am a senior software developer and on call pretty much always (1st line half the day, 2nd line half the day, it's OK, emergencies are very rare, months pass between two). Before this bag, as recently as a year ago, I needed to carry a laptop backpack with my regular 14" inside everywhere. But now, I can just take this baby. Also? Since it's only 9" high I can stand it up under a plane seat, lengthwise, so it is taking practically no space. A laptop backpack will steal invaluable space where your legs would go.

eReader/tablet/monitor: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/not-ereader-first-e-ink-mobile-phone-monitor/x/5633299#/ yeah it has its quirks but it works. Hot damn. I keep an eReader anyways to read, the previous one was an only slightly smaller Aura One and if I could get one that doubles as an emergency monitor, that's a big win in my books.

Waterbottle: https://www.rubbermaid.com/en-US/design-series-bottles yeah, nothing special.

Lächen Mini Irrigator: Google for aliexpress 33018370414, won't link it because of spam filters. Not only it is the smallest portable oral irrigator (waterpik) but it stores the nozzle inside.

Travel Washlet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FDJ8SM totally SFW video on how to use it: https://youtu.be/NBAY1GWjjaQ it's basically portable civilization.

Nuts holder: I am reasonably sure it's https://www.uline.ca/Product/Detail/S-18215/Tubes/Clear-Retail-Tubes-1-1-2-x-6 and I just found it https://www.dancopackagingproducts.com/our_products/prod_161.html for smaller quantities. I'll actually get a spare or five :)

DM-1 wallet: https://decadentminimalist.com/ you can't find a smaller, lighterweight card wallet.

Phone to taste. The bag can hold any monster of a phone.

When flying I also add: Glocalme U2 https://www.glocalme.com/CA/en-US/cloudsim/u2 international mifi with pretty decent rates but also the possibility to just slot a local SIM. Did you know giffgaff UK sends a SIM anywhere for free and allows using their packages EU wide with really nice rates? It's literally half the price of a T-Mobile USA International Pass.

Dual USB Output Super Slim Power Bank Ultra Thin, Attom Tech 3000mAh https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07JZCZSH9 it's enough to give a phone or the mifi a little bit of extra time.. It's ridiculous from something this tiny but it actually can (slow) charge both at the same time.

There are some small extras in the last photo:

Olight UC Magnetic USB Charger https://olightworld.com/olight-uc-magnetic-usb-charger to charge the AA battery in the washlet. Again, it's neigh impossible to find a smaller battery charger.

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.

At first I loved the wipes, but over time I realized I was sensitive to them. (I don’t normally have sensitive skin.)
The best thing I’ve found is a “spray bidet” which you can easily attach to a toilet - cleaning with plain water is ideal! Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A9A9MUO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_BpeECbJEGWHNS

I skimp on toilet paper by not buying it at all.

Bidet's are the literal best thing on the toilet. The cost is entirely worth it especially when you can do mid-poop washes as needed. Bonus points for it being better than even toilet paper (minus the bit you use to dry off with if you don't get the model that will dry you off as well).

Get here this instead

You want a single stream not a damn shower head. I'm sorry but that is retarded. :/

My husband shaved over a dirty tshirt and shakes the excess into the toilet when he’s done before throwing back in the hamper. Seems like a good system

This hair drain catcher was on Shark Tank and seems like it has a lot of good reviews. Or there’s a bunch of other kinds that go on top of the drain. They’re all pretty inexpensive <$10-20

If you can reach the drain with a garden hose, these are great. I haven't needed chemicals in 20+ years.
https://www.amazon.com/G-T-Water-Products-186-Attachment/dp/B0000CBIWC/

In the meantime, simply putting the hose down the drain and stuffing and holding a small towel around it will often help. The drain king is nice as it is easier with one person and does a bit higher pressure.

• an adjustable height desk; the ability to stand to work when I want to has been wonderful.
  
• a really nice office chair; after injuring my back, it has helped me sit for long stretches and still be able to stand up from quickly, unlike just about any other chair.
  
• a bidet attachment for my toilet; using standard toilets now is such a disappointment.
  
• a smartphone; always having the internet with me, a camera when I need it, music and podcasts while I run, and a dash cam.

Here it is for cheaper and faster delivery time.

Its one of those adaptors that goes between the porcelain and the seat of a regular toilet.
You can get it eaven cheaper
https://www.amazon.com/Simplet-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Toilet-Attachment-x/dp/B00FX1D55I

order one on Amazon.

Bidet owner since late October of last year. It's probably the best thing I own in my house next to my air conditioner and my ice cube trays. Seriously. It's better than the internet and the internet has porn.

If you're even remotely curious about the cleaning quality, get the one I got on Amazon for $70. It's cheap enough to not hurt you financially if you don't like it, but it's a good enough quality for it to last you many, many years.

I mean it's so weak if you want water to run upside down and wash away poo sticking on your butt you need a little pressure. Just read some reviews https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/reviews/B01DB8DRNO/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&pageNumber=1



Another device, same problem:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/reviews/B005FDJ8SM/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_hist_1?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&pageNumber=1

My argument is that if you get dog shit on your hand, wiping it off isn't going to get you clean. Washing is the only way to make that happen.

I don't get shit on my hand every day, but my ass is another story. And it really appreciates a good hosing down. Here is the simplest effective solution, although you can add hot water or get all fancy with an remote-controlled electric unit if you want.

Get a bidet attachment for your toilet! We had one of these pre-pregnancy and it has been a huge lifesaver with all the pooping problems. I put it in bc my SO used to shower after every poop to feel clean, so I figured it would save water. Now I hate pooping in the other bathroom without the water to wash off after. It will change your life!!!



The one we got is like this, and I installed it myself: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01A9A9MUO/ref=mp_s_a_1_33?ie=UTF8&qid=1474147711&sr=8-33&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=bidet&dpPl=1&dpID=3133aRXnSnL&ref=plSrch

You have the (enviable) problem of having high water pressure.

You have two options. Option one was suggested by RallyMech, that is to get a flow adjustment knob and install it before your shower head

Option two is to get a different shower head. I would encourage you to give this one a try. The center part is a higher pressure spray with smaller diameter holes, while the outside nozzles are higher diameter for a gentle rainfall. It comes with a flow restrictor installed, if you have high pressure leave it in but you can remove it if you want more flow.

I have one of these and I love it- the high pressure nozzle is good for rinsing shampoo out of hair, the low pressure mode is very relaxing and non-abrasive.

Yeah, personal bidets have been on Amazon Japan since 2011. What a bullshit claim to be the world's first! https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/d/B005FDJ8SM/

checked on amazon, their cheapest one seems pretty affordable http://www.amazon.com/SW502-01-Washlet-Elongated-Toilet/dp/B005XNW1Q0/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382365333&sr=8-1&keywords=toto+washlet

I can't live without baths, I love them so much! Love to come home after work to soak and relax. My coworker just moved into an apartment with no tub, just the shower. I saw on amazon that there are portable soaking tubs! Just set it in the shower and let the water fill it up.

I'm not so good at reddit so I can't make this link shorter but here it is:

https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Life-Portable-Plastic-Bathtub/dp/B008XSXQIO

Here it is:
https://www.amazon.com/TOTO-SW2044-01-Electronic-SoftClose/dp/B00UCIOX2Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=toto+washlet&qid=1563804635&s=gateway&sprefix=toto+was&sr=8-6

I’ve had it for over a year, works great. No need to look at the more expensive options, this has everything you would need.

You might want to pick up one of these.

There's a thing called a tubshroom and it collects hair while allowing the water to drain. You take it out after and clean it, mega easily.

TubShroom the Revolutionary Tub Drain Protector Hair Catcher/Strainer/Snare, Gray https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0H7YC2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jv4JDbXH507NC $12.99 on Amazon

Men also benefit. Hot muggy days used to be my worst enemy. Let’s just say dry paper can’t get everything especially cuz guys have some hair. So now I use less TP, just to dry off (environment your welcome). And I can go hiking with out bothering my boxers.


This one is better then the single head one I have

Veken Non-Electric Bidet, Self Cleaning Dual Nozzle (Frontal & Rear/Feminine Wash), Fresh Water Spray Bidet for Toilet with Adjustable Water Pressure Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2DWVMK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ZxPoDb5YHY0AB

Do you use one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004UUA6MI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_fYaNybRCYA09R

Invest in a handheld bidet. They are very popular in Japan.

TOTO Travel Handy Washlet YEW350-WH https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FDJ8SM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_i9-QwbXS7NF0B


That's the Japanese model, although the instructions for use are easily available in English online. I always take one with me in my backpack.

Murphy bed!!! or this!

Composting toilet! Grab a bucket of sawdust to go with it.

Deflatable tub or portable Japanese soaking tub for shower!
If you need it... HOT shower!

Hand sink!

Camping stove that can be used indoors.

Water filter system for drinking and cooking.

Water storage!

For short term! ....just figure out how to secure it all! Fun! Fun!

IMO anyone with a stake bag is glamping. Might as well bring your own pool at that point.

Here's the one I have. Yes it is very expensive, I also had to wire an outlet right next to toilet. But now when I walk up to my toilet, the lid automatically opens. The seat is already warmed, it cleans the bowl and sprays so nothing sticks, after I'm done my ass is washed with warm water, dried with hot air, and deodorized. When I walk away it cleans itself and the bowl thoroughly again. I can't use public toilets anymore. Anything less feels like wiping with leaves in the woods.

"it" is the adapter that connects the toilet water supply to the bidet. The cheaper units come with a pastic one that works fine for a while but may eventually fail. Here's an example of a metal one

Get that weak crap out of here.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0165UFOGS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_mRq4BbF6CHYGT

I have a slightly different model than this. It heats the seat and it warms the water so you aren't splashing icy cold discomfort all over your ass.

Suffer no more, my friend:

Am female, and live with other females.

​

I got a barebones hose attachment off Amazon for ~$40 last December, and it's been great! As /u/Jennjersnap said, there's definitely a learning curve involved. The hose attachment I have is cold water only and is surprisingly not that bad even during the winter; you may go numb depending on the water temperature, but it does not compare to having cold water down your spine. FWIW, I still use 1 square of TP after rinsing up from #2 to be sure of thoroughness (and flush after #2 before rinsing). Other than that, I just try to aim well enough to not get more wet than necessary, and manage to dry off just fine by putting on clothes. My roommate who uses the bidet dries off with tp, but claims to still use less than before having the bidet.

​

If you or anyone in your household has mobility issues, I would suggest the style that sits inside the toilet bowl, though I have no experience with them. If you go this route, make sure to get one that has a "guard" that covers the spout when not in use to avoid contamination. Otherwise I believe the hoses are cheaper, generally more durable (make sure to turn them off at the source to avoid flooding!), and have more flexibility in use-- I've even used them to powerwash the bathtub, and they're often used for cloth diaper cleaning.

​

The best general tip I have is to check diagrams of how the bidet in question is supposed to be angled, cleaned, and otherwise maintained.



Edit: We had the AquaNexis.

Our neck thing was corroded on else I would have put one of these in myself. It's a good cheap fix.

We'd been making do with one like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Waterpik-CF-201-Cascadia-8-Inch-Showerhead/dp/B000066PXL/

dude you have my shower.
you need to get one of these

Portable water bottle bidet with 54 user reviews. You're welcome.

http://www.amazon.com/Toilet-seat-Bidet-BB-1000/dp/B001DNY59U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310119112&sr=8-1

I pretty much went to the Amazon top-rated ones in the category; I got this one first and it's great, then when we built another bathroom next to my bedroom I bought one of these because I was curious about the warm water (it's nice, but it was a bit more difficult to install and takes time to warm up anyway). Both of them were a lot cheaper when I bought them 3-4 years ago; it looks like the top-rated one right now is this; I can't personally speak about it but the ratings are good. :)

Also I forgot to mention in my first post: toilet paper lasts basically forever. Using four to six squares just to dry off it takes me over three months to use a single roll.

If it's that big of a problem then consider a bidet

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005FDJ8SM/

Never leave for trip without one...

oh I was talking about one of those seat attachment sprays. I grew up where hand held sprays are common in every toilet and was uncomfortable when I first moved to the US.

Cheap one I use does not have heated water, but I can tell you that the butt hole is not actually that sensitive to cold water. I have now used it through 2 winters. This is the best and cheapest life improvement you can add to your life right now.

Well I’ll be damned. You can get one for as cheap as $50!

Think of it this way my friend: how often do you use the toilet? Isn't it also one of the most disgusting things you have to do multiple times every. single. day? Now, is that really so much money for decades of life-transforming excretion of wastes-- totally transforming the disgusting into joy-- and always having that oh-so-fresh feeling?

I don't think so! Especially since I think this is it for $936.

You will thank me later. Every single day.

Though, to be sure... the c200 is great.

https://www.amazon.com/TOTO-SW584-01-Electronic-Cleansing/dp/B009IJ2NBI

Based off you using one roll of high end toilet paper a week, this baby pays for herself in 32 years. And that’s with one person using it. No one stays single if they’ve got one so it’s really only 16 years.

Get a separate, metal T valve to put between the bidet hose and the toilet intake (instead of the crappy plastic T that most of those bidet's come with). I have one there and have the pressure turned down almost all the way.

This is the one I got.

When I was in Jordan many of the toilets had something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Stainless-Bathroom-Handheld-Sprayer/dp/B01A9A9MUO?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_3 It works decently.

​

I have a Toto C100 at home. You might consider it pricey, but it is well worth the money.

I'd recommend this: TubShroom https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0H7YC2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_jzO1BbZZPAPBS

No strainer is perfect but my better half has long and thick hair. Her hair, as much as I love it, is everywhere in the house, including the drains. Got this a couple years ago and have been very happy. It needs to be cleaned off about once every couple weeks. If it is totally gummed up with hair it will allow the excess hair to go down the drain so be careful with that. The biggest plus on this item is that it is super easy to clean. It really does work like the product video says. A quick wipe with some toilet paper and into the trash. And you have a clean drain line.

Hair ties........hair ties fucking everywhere!!!!

We live different lifestyles too so I noticed a lot of plates and bowls left out after eating and it drove me crazy in the beginning but it's better now.

I learned women shed A LOT and I had to figure out a drain solution for the shower so it wouldn't keep getting clogged, if you need a real life saver my friend invest in this

https://www.amazon.com/TubShroom-Revolutionary-Protector-Catcher-Strainer/dp/B01M0H7YC2/ref=sr_1_4?s=bedbath&ie=UTF8&qid=1539790290&sr=1-4&keywords=tubshroom&dpID=51sVQhklTuL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

It's fun though and it's nice having someone to come home too, enjoy the ride.

Here's a better version mate:

Veken Non-Electric Bidet, Self Cleaning Dual Nozzle (Frontal & Rear/Feminine Wash), Fresh Water Spray Bidet for Toilet with Adjustable Water Pressure Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2DWVMK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_VLwRDbSV52NEH


You can also get the hoses.

I personally started using a bidet after my trip to Japan. Now only using paper feels disgusting.

Yeah, I would pull the toilet. I am betting its beyond the toilet though. If it is, you can try one of these once you have the toilet pulled. They work like a champ and are cheaper than renting a snake.

Look at it this way, its an opportunity to replace the wax ring, re-caulk and replace the rusty nuts and bolts on the mounting flange.

You can fix this. Where do the drains come out? You said the previous owner did some landscaping and stupidly blocked the drains. You need to find where these drains were and unblock them. You're going to need a shovel and start digging. They likely just covered over them. Sounds like your neighbor knows where they were.

If they are all mucked up with mud, do what you can to clear them out then, get a (https://www.amazon.com/G-T-Water-Products-186-Attachment/dp/B0000CBIWC) [drain king] and clear those pipes or from the top down.

Try Drain King. It's amazing what water pressure can do.what ever is stuck should move before you burst a pipe.
http://www.amazon.com/G-T-Water-Products-186-Attachment/dp/B0000CBIWC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1452997609&sr=8-1&keywords=Drain+King

Many times in the past, I've had good success with one of these:
The black part swells to the diameter of your pipe when you turn on the water hose (keeping the water from coming up backwards), and creates enough pressure to break the clog loose.

I hav one of those with a remove shower head like this. It makes a world of difference.

I'm a strong advocate of handhelds, Just hold it where you want it!

You know, for most showers, it is as simple as unscrewing the current shower head and putting a new one on. I mean, it is really simple. You can get a pretty decent one for less than $25 too.

I couldn't recommend a portable bidet enough. It's gotten me thru some poopy situations.

Amazon link for the uninitiated: https://www.amazon.com/Giraf-BP-30-Portable-Travel-Bidet/dp/B001BYV3J6

There are also portable ones such as this! I do recommend it, it's feels great, leaves you feeling great, and probably cleaner too..

Yes.. https://www.amazon.com/Giraf-BP-30-Portable-Travel-Bidet/dp/B001BYV3J6

Use portable bidet

Buy one of these and install it in your dorm toilet.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A0RMQ1E/ref=pd_aw_sim_hi_3?refRID=0R5C6Z4M99083DVBZF0A

If you don't have a private toilet then buy a portable bidet.

http://www.amazon.com/Giraf-BP-30-Portable-Travel-Bidet/dp/B001BYV3J6

Get something portable like this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001BYV3J6?pc_redir=1397646847&robot_redir=1

If it is just a quick refresh, just use the portable bidet to rinse with warm water. If you have been especially active/sweaty, wipe with a wet wipe (one made for using on your intimate area) or baby wipe, then rinse with warm water. This is so you are more thoroughly cleaning, and you can dilute the scent of the wet wipe (you wouldn't want a strong perfumy or baby powder scent left behind). Or rinse the wet wipe first to dilute the scent if you don't want to use water to rinse.

At home you can install a mini shower portable bidet so you can wash right over the toilet. Something like this (do a search of "mini shower bidet" to see other brands)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00891BQC8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1397783041&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40

I got this one, Ambient Water Temperature self-cleaning nozzle attachable bidet and I freaking love it.

I'm guessing this, but would also like to know for sure.

If you're going to go cheap on something like that you can just get one like this for under $10.

Looking Good! Wow that's quite a stash of makeup goodness! I love trying new products but the stuff is so expensive!
[LED showerhead looks sooooo cool!] (http://www.amazon.com/Temperature-controlled-Color-Changing-showerhead/dp/B002PFJK9K/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1OUQ8B0KGTG86&coliid=I27P2CTSRKBQVP)

Thanks for the great contest!

this would be fun for both of you.

wink wink

This would be amazing. Because who wouldn't want an awesome LED shower head?! My bathroom is literally from the 70s and I'm slowly updating it. The shower and tiles are all the ugly greenish yellow stuff and there was a matching toilet...that was changed about a month ago! Anyway, this is just one step to making my bathroom awesome!

I'm super excited that It's the weekend! Can't wait to relax and catch up on sleep!

Thanks for the contest!!!

Zelda + Bioshock + Pokemon + Five Guys + hatred for Finding Nemo + the fact that we both have this on our wishlists = A beautiful friendship we will have based on our mutual interests. Welcome!

1. THIS is awesome, but pricy. Your showers would be fantastic!
   
2. I need a rubber ducky for the tub. :P I like to sit down in the shower with the water hitting me. My cat is obsessed with running water and sits on the side, between the curtains. I prefer morning showers, but I generally take a bath at night. The cat always tries to climb on me in the tub, she fell in once when she was really small... She still tries it every time, though.

I couldn't stand without these when I was in Canada. I even considered to purchase mobile washlet like this.

This is the one I use. I could never go back to wiping myself with pieces of dry paper... the thought of it almost makes me shudder.

cant go wrong with toto https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005FDJ8SM

Also, this is a good model, it's also not too expensive (They can go up in price, quite spectacularly).

Yes. You want to search for either "Electronic Toilet Seat" or "Advanced Bidet Toilet Seat" or "washlet.' There's a range. Fair warning: They're typically not cheap. I got this one at Costco for $200 a few years ago, which is definitely on the low side for one of those, especially with that feature set. It's not available anymore though. A comparable model could be about $400-$500. This one is reasonably priced at $250, but it doesn't have an air dryer feature like the intelliseat. I also had an opportunity to use this one when I was in Japan, and it gets a nod of approval.

It seems like a lot to spend, but as others have said, once you get accustomed to it, you realize it's worth every penny.

Someone needs a bidet.

That "someday" could be next week, or the next day or two if you choose a faster shipping option.

Toto Washlet

We do, its an add-on seat you can buy from Amazon, search for Toto Washlet, the basic model is about $300. My neighbor has one and she said its one of the best purchases she's ever made.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005XNW1Q0/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425225982&sr=8-1&keywords=toto+washlet&dpPl=1&dpID=21lqiWLwP4L&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Well, the sultan, a 1968 targa, and a toto Washlet would all make me very happy

I have one of these:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009IJ2NBI/sr=1-1/qid=1482552443/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1482552443&sr=1-1

One major flaw is that the toilet cover comes down to quick. I usually hover over the toilet as I wipe (who has time to wait for the air dryer), and the cover will hit me on my 3rd wipe.

Also, I wished the spray wand would go further back (has 5 settings and 3 of the 5 basically just sprays my balls).

Also, the motion sensor is way to fucking sensitive. Constantly popping up the lid and spraying the toilet rim every time I enter the bathroom.

https://www.amazon.com/TOTO-SW584-01-Electronic-Sanitization/dp/B009IJ2NBI/ref=sr_1_4_acs_kn_product_lines_B009IJ2NBI_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1526315163&sr=8-4-acs&keywords=toto+washlet

My husband got this one. Until this question I did not know the damn thing was a thousand bucks.

I really don't have the need but can see that a guy might like it.

It is in his bathroom but I have used it just for the warm seat. That feature is pretty sweet!

One was ordered from Amazon, Astor and the other one I found on chance on clearance at Kohl's department store. I don't recall the brand and not at home. But that one I like better, it's very similar but has more pressure.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003TPGPUW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xN.hAbYHQT2YE

Edit: found it, I recognize the logo.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FX1D55I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_HR.hAb8N3KC3Q

Softer, fattier stool can be a factor in cleanup, as can hair. If it's taking this long, you may want to invest in a bidet attachment for your toilet. They're not particularly expensive or hard to install, as long as you're careful and make sure to turn the water off beforehand.

https://www.amazon.com/Simplet-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Toilet-Attachment/dp/B00FX1D55I/

This'll shoot some water up your backend, which you then wipe dry with a cloth you keep nearby. The cloth shouldn't be doing any of the cleaning, just the water.

I have the other brand of this same model, the Bio Bidet

I can confirm everything you say. People who use it are really excited about how well it performs and couldn't believe the cost.

Cold water is a downside but you will get used to it.

Try it out.

It definitely does, yes. I did quite a bit of research before buying and was willing to spend around $100 or so but this specific model had the best overall reviews and added features for females as well, your gf will thank you I'm sure. (Side note, I initially ordered the blue but it looked, idk cheap somehow so I exchanged it for the white only and it looks much, much better, not cheap looking at all.)

A couple suggestions on other things that make a big difference imo for another $20 combined roughly, both recommended by other reviewers as well as a few specific YouTube installation videos (there is one that finally sold me on it, I'll see if I can find that too). A better/more solid and lasting brass, chrome finish T-adapter which also has a shut off and is compatible with this model (the 185 comes with a plastic one and only a few reported leaks and it doesn't have a shut off either and will eventually need to be replaced down the line). As well as toilet seat bumpers, taking into account the bidet only raises the seat a little but enough to not make it feel solid, the bumpers make it feel as it should, 100% solid with them.

The links for you to check out and maybe add to your wishlist (I personally highly suggest them):

Edit: This is the YouTube link where the guy uses the upgraded adapter as well as the bumpers and shows how to install easily too. (You'll see the 185 features that do make a big difference to me.)

Or jump to their recommendation: https://smile.amazon.com/TOTO-SW2044-01-Electronic-SoftClose/dp/B00UCIOX2Q

The Toto is pretty easy to install on your own--the hardest part is having to connect the water supply with your face/neck mashed against the wall like some kind of weirdo bathroom contortionist if your toilet's in a corner. I also recommend wall mounting the remote for corner toilets. It probably wouldn't take long to figure out where the buttons are on the side of the seat with the non-remote version, but man, would I hate pooping until I got to that point.

Japanese Toilet

Bidet, warm air dryer, heated seat, and comes with a remote. The future is here!

Yessssss!!!!!


I got a bidet (super fancy, dryer, heated seats, heated water,remote) 4 years back and fell in love.

THEN I got pregnant and everyone is talking about a peri bottle... and I’m like you fools need to get on the bidet bandwagon!

Husband won’t admit he uses it... but I can tell on his face that he likes it after spicy meal.

I dont want to say LIFE CHANGING but man it feels great. You feel so clean... in the summer you can use cooler water and you feel refreshed. Midnight bathroom runs you are greeted with a warm seat :)

Getting ready to replace mine. it’s not heating the water any more.

Had a Brondell S1000 https://www.amazon.com/Brondell-S1000-RW-Swash-Advanced-Toilet/dp/B0045UB9HE ($600 ) and looking to replace with

Toto https://www.amazon.com/TOTO-SW3036-01-Electronic-Instantaneous/dp/B079WVTJMV because I like how you can program the user settings

Or

Toto
https://www.amazon.com/TOTO-SW2044-01-Electronic-SoftClose/dp/B00UCIOX2Q

But I don’t like how it’s not as slim as the first Toto.


$30 is a steal for the water action... but if you have room in the budget the other features are incredible!

I’m larger, so my butt would probably cover the adjustment knobs....

That’s great! Keep flushing those wipes at work but use this bad boy at home: Veken Non-Electric Bidet, Self... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2DWVMK?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

That’s the one I have and I love it. It has a super easy installation, I know nothing about plumbing but it showed me everything I needed to know. Only took about 20 minutes to install and then I had to wait another 5-10 to wait for the water line to turn back on and go into the bidet. Try it out!

The model I purchased comes with everything needed except a crescent wrench. A quick video tutorial might be all you need.

Veken Non-Electric Bidet, Self Cleaning Dual Nozzle (Frontal & Rear/Feminine Wash), Fresh Water Spray Bidet for Toilet with Adjustable Water Pressure Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2DWVMK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_TvWMDbZ2RF4W8

I have this and love it.

Add this shower head for even more reach, excellent sprayer.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000066PXL/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_s1XMzbYFT5BSR

I recently got one of these and I use it in my house at school—screws right on and adds probably 6-8".

I know your pain.... until I picked up this wonderful shower-head. It now moves with me.

Bonus: It has awesome pressure/flow.

This is my item which has an amazon warehouse deal that evens out to 21.00. That is just 12 cents off your magic number.

You should NOT buy this for me because my current shower head is awesome. I love not having a good amount of water pressure. I am saving water right now, and since the pressure isn't enough for the shower head, it pours out of the spout, which is like a massage for me feet.

Not to mention, my long hair is just so much fun to rinse with low pressure, I really get to spend 30 minutes in the shower playing with my hair. What girl doesn't love playing with her hair?

This shower head does NOT have great reviews. 20 out if 131 people gave it only one star. It does NOT have the two settings I want, and would NOT serve its purpose brilliantly. It is NOT an excellent purchase at 21 dollars. This would NOT make my day, or my future showers amazing.

Get a Waterpik shower head.

I agree with the clogged drain scenario. A simple option for this type of drain is a Drain King. Connect it to a hose pipe and stick it into the drain pipe. When you turn on the water it blows up like a balloon, sealing the pipe and using water pressure to clear the line. You can get them at pretty much any hardware or home improvement store.

I don't have any personal experience with the Drain King, but it is well reviewed on Amazon. What drain is clogged?

This is what you need.

Drain Zips. I have a few of these and they work great -- along the same lines as your wire hangar, but probably better reach and grab. You can find them at any local hardware or big box store for just a few bucks.

http://www.amazon.com/Faucet-Queen-Zip--Drain-Clog/dp/B000YHRAXE/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1422409079&sr=8-13&keywords=drain+zip

If it's a deep, full clog, I've got one of these that also works like a champ, but you need a garden hose to supply force: http://www.amazon.com/G-T-Water-Products-186-Attachment/dp/B0000CBIWC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422409317&sr=8-1&keywords=drain+pressure+hose

Probably $10-$20 also at any hardware or big box store.

1- Run it with the filter in bypass/boost/recirculate/whatever-your-valve-calls-it. If this fixes it, your filter is at fault.

2- turn it on, and while it is doing this cycling, go stand next to your skimmer and watch it. See if your weir door is stuck causing the pump to pull all the water it can, run the skimmer almost completely empty, then reprime after the skimmer fills back up (slowly).

3- what you described sounds like 'surging' which is often caused by a clog in the pipe. Get one of these or my preference, one of these. Put the blow bag on the end of the garden hose, open up the pump lid, and stick it a few inches into the pipe. Remove the skimmer lid and basket, and turn the hose on. You should get flow backwards through the piping, and hopefully start getting a bunch of debris you can fish out by hand.

If these don't fix it, and you're sure that all your orings on and before the pump (lid, pump drain plug, any valves on the suction side of the pump) then you probably need a professional to come blow the lines with air or CO2.

1. This bad boy looks pretty cool! Lots of different settings and such!
   
   
2. I take a "double shower" (that is do everything twice: 2 shampoos, 2 conditioners, and 2 whole body soap-ups) every time I come home from work. I work outside so I'm covered in nasty sunscreen by the end of the day!
   
   rubber ducky.

1. This one looks like it could be good. It's got five settings! I have one of those rainfall ones now and I hate it. I miss removable shower-heads, they feel so good on your scalp!
   
   
2. Shower Ritual: I sing oldies songs in the shower all the time. Don't know why lol.
   
   Also, funny story: I used to have a shower curtain that was white, but had a clear see through window that went right where my face would peek out. My boyfriend works for Walmart and would always bring home the giant cardboard standers from movies that had come out. I went into the bathroom one morning to get ready and felt something watching me. I turned and screamed. There was Kiera Knightly circa Pirates of the Caribbean standing in my shower staring at my through my shower curtain window.

> I can't use any objects like vibrator, etc., as they are illegal from where I live.

Really? Because lots of things vibrate and work just fine:

You can buy an electric toothbrush and hold the base against your clit.

Or get a "Shiatsu Pillow Massager."

Or a "Swedish massager."

Or a "Deep Tissue Handheld Muscle Massager" like this or like this.

Or a showerhead extension with a pulse setting.

None of these things look like sex toys, and all of them have other perfectly legitimate functions.

[Note: The links are examples of the types of items, not specific recommendations.]

One of the handheld ones with the different settings, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Waterpik-TRS-553-Elements-5-Mode-Handheld/dp/B000GLO0KY/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1344137615&sr=1-1&keywords=handheld+showerhead aimed right at the clit. Super awesome. While you're in there, lying spread-eagle under the running tub faucet will also give some ladies powerful orgasms.

Don't ask me why, but I recite the Gettysburg Address when I shower.

My buddy has one of these and raves about it regularly

It's like my ass takes a mini shower after every BM.

I had the same condition, but noticed it decreased when I visited Japan. It hit me one day, the Japanese bidet did the job.

Itch free for ONE YEAR!

I have one of these and was also worried about the cold water as well. It's way less of a problem than I thought it would be, barely noticeable at all, at least in my case anyhow. Definitely not unpleasant. I use toilet paper after to dry, much less than I used use.

This is a great contest idea and an optimistic take on a poor situation! I'm sorry your card got stolen, but I'm glad it's NOT MY CARD.

This is the story of an item that helps stop fraudulence. As we all know, fraud occurs when what we are told is not actually true... There is one place that this happens far too often, right in our own homes! It happens to everyone from little children to the elderly. Even you have probably been a victim! What is this mysterious fraudulence?, you ask. Well, it is your bathroom shower! (Dun, dun, duuuuun). Every morning when you turn the dial to hot and water starts pouring out of the shower head is it really hot? How long should you wait? When will the fraudulent water temperatures end? Here is the answer! Help end shower water fraud!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002PFJK9K/

Darn, the amazon reviews say it requires a lot of pressure since it uses some of your water pressure to power the lights and that the sound it makes from the turbine is loud. Don't have enough shower pressure to use this. :(

Well shoot, a completely glowing bathroom might be pretty cool. That paired with this and these could make for a pretty wild bathroom!

White lies - Death

Edit for item

This shower head is pretty cool and here is a hand shower head.

I listen to Lindsey Stirling in the shower. I don't have a particular ritual, I just shower randomly lol

yo, I'm cheap.

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.

this cause current one we have has only one setting and its called attack mode

I always thought these were pretty cool Rubber Ducky

I shower at night - then I regret it when I see my crazy hair every morning lol!

Um... because who doesn't need a showerhead that lights up like this one also it's hand held and stationary :)~

Usually I shower with the SO... Water conservation and all that ;) usually at night before we go to bed... and they are usually LONG showers :D

Thanks for the contest

edit cause someone picked the same shower head :)

I think this is really cool.

I like a cool shower before bed. Then if i'm cold I can snug right down in my blankies.

Rubber ducky

This is cool

I don't really have a shower ritual, I don't sing. I do workout, but usually have other stuff to do right after, like pick up my little brother, get groceries, so I shower after that. I have a towel in my car just to put on my seat so it doesn't start to smell of sweat. Whenever I have up.
Funniest thing was prolly when I decided to try to find a way to smoke a cigar while taking a shower. What I did was take some electrical tape and take a plastic baggie to near where the band is, I then cut the back part of the baggie so it was open and the cigar could get through, this was taped to a cling wrapped kitchen roll tube which was attached to a toilet paper tube that was facing upwards, like the bowl of a pipe, and I have to run a metal rod underneath it all so that it didn't break. It worked, I had to take a 45 minute shower to finish it, but it worked.

Double the shower head, double the fun (now with lights for when you don't want anyone else to know you're in the shower).
I try to shower every morning, usually after exercising...I have slipped more often than I care to admit. Luckily no serious injuries sustained thus far!

• rubber ducky -

1. This one looks really cool. I love the combo because you don't have to get cold while you use the handheld thing. And it has cool lights.
   
   
2. My favorite shower ritual is letting my cat get in the tub with me while the water is heating up. He likes to stand on the dry part and drink the water that pools in the tub before I turn on the shower. Then when I turn on the shower I put the lining over him so he doesn't get sprayed with water. Maybe one day he won't need the liner =)

• Ok, I was going to post this shower head but I see someone else has already done that and it certainly does seem like the most awesome shower head on Amazon. Now, I'm quite new to RAoA, so I hope this isn't considered heresy, but I found another shower head that also looks pretty awesome, but sadly is NOT available on the amazon website. (Is this considered bad form? Will I get banned? I'm so scared right now!)

I refuse to describe it using the French word

Well not exactly. We don't use this, more commonly known as a bidet. We use something like this. An actual hose.

Here are some links to some US products:

Mrs. Bidet on Amazon.

Brondell CleanSpa.

Trust me, you need this, you just don't know it yet.

You can get a bidet that attaches to the tubing of your toliet. Something like this

Pro tip, get one where the trigger is farther from the nozzle, like this.

My wife bought one of these , and now I'm sold on them. It's a "hand-held bidet" and I don't know how I lived without one for so long. It is also handy for cleaning out cloth diapers, if you're a hippy and have kids, or are just into that sort of thing yourself.

This is a soaking tub i bought on amazon. It’s the greatest thing ever! Best 50$ I’ve ever spent. You can submerge in it.click blue link above!

I'll copy paste something I wrote elsewhere just now. What do you think?

My plan is to use a shower pump like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Ivation-Portable-Outdoor-Battery-Powered/dp/B00IFHFJXI/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=Ivation+shower+head&qid=1567661650&s=gateway&sr=8-3#
Then boil some water on the stove, and mix it with room temp water and put enough in the floor of this to cover the pump:

... set up underneath the roof fan, with some velcro holding up a hula hoop holding up the shower curtain tucked inside the tub. Get a thing to stand on so my feet aren't soaking, attach the shower head to the hula hoop, put a cloth bag over the pump as a rudimentary filter... Voila, recirculating, hot shower, for as long as I want, for just a few gallons of water.

Bonus, the shower water can be used to wash your clothes if you separate it from your regular gray water.

This inflatible soaking tub is cheap and well built. I'm 6'2" and can easily submerge my whole body in the icebath using this tub.

You can buy a Japanese toilet seat and install it, keeping the standard toilet seat stored somewhere. You can then put the normal toilet seat back on when it's time to move and take your Japanese seat with you. The hard part is getting power to the seat (for the warmed water, air dry, warmed seat, etc.).

We recently built a house and had them put plugs by every toilet. After they were done, we bought the seats on Amazon and installed them ourselves. We went with a particularly nice version, but there are others that are less expensive.

This is why you can buy elephant ivory and fake Rolexes from China for mere pennies on the dollar, but will have to spend over a grand on a Japanese toilet seat](http://www.amazon.com/Toto-SW584-01-Washlet-Seat-Elongated/dp/B009IJ2NBI)

I just want to say, this is the best thing ever so you don't run into these issues while at home.

Get a bidet. Easy to install, cleanest butt ever.

Replace the plastic connector with a metal one like this. Not only will it not drip, it will give you the ability to regulate the amount of water that is directed to the bidet.

I installed my cheap-o bidet using a T-valve, so I can shut off the water line when it's not in use. Like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JIG4AGM

Mostly need plastic to be moulded to my design, and other parts assembled.

*Braided steel hoses, high pressure faucet valves, these guys

Ok so that seems way more complicated than a regular bidet. We have one you just remove the toilet seat, put it on the toilet, plug it into the outlet and the water and it was done. And we live in the US.

Edit: We have this one. TOTO SW2014#01 A100 WASHLET Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat with SoftClose Lid Elongated Cotton White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0165UFOGS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_IHuDRn8kQJ44e

Other poster listed the Toto C100 as the most basic with heating however the A100 is more basic and a bit cheaper but still heats the water (and the seat).

You want one of these, honestly everyone should have these. We have them in all of our bathrooms. Easy to install.

Most don't require electricity. This one, for example. This one is slightly nicer and also requires no electricity. There are also hand sprayer models: I opened the wall and plumbed mine to both the hot and cold so I can wash my ass with warm water. This one just tees off the toilet supply line.

They need a tub shroom.

Can I suggest the [tub shroom] (https://www.amazon.com/TubShroom-Revolutionary-Protector-Catcher-Strainer/dp/B01M0H7YC2/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=tub+shroom&qid=1574876851&sr=8-4)?

My girlfriend has hair a little bit longer than midback and it used to clog the drain every 4 months or so. We found this at Home Goods and picked it up. I was able to install it in about 10 minutes (after researching how to take out the stopper on youtube).

Now we pull the shroom every month or so, drop the hair in the garbage and it seems to work.

Water, squatty potty, bidet, witch hazel! I really cannot recommend the bidet and witch hazel enough for the hemerhoids, seriously it got me past some rough ones. The less you have to wipe them, the less inflamed and irritated, they usually go away quicker. You can get inexpensive bidets on Amazon. Sounds like she can also stand to take more stool softeners, per her OB. Good luck!! 💙

They sell them in the US as little thing you install on your toilet. I have one and its great.

This is one I got; https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07H2DWVMK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This one didn't come w/ the tools to assemble so you need some basic tools (screwdriver and a basic wrench); but other models come w/ the tools for the installation

I have this at home to help me, best thing ever.

If you guys have never tried a TOTO toilet seat/bidet you haven t lived fully. ALL the friends who have come to our house for diner have bought one after trying it.

You use only about 1/4 of the amount of paper you would normally use and you get your butt hole washed with warm water on a heated seat.

EDIT: We have a better model but we started with this one that has a remote https://www.amazon.com/TOTO-SW2044-01-Electronic-SoftClose/dp/B00UCIOX2Q/
