    I bought this Bidet and was amazed how well it works. It was easy to install and we haven’t had any problems with it. It’s reasonably priced and good quality.

    This is an excellent product! Installing this is a breeze, even a 10 year old could probably do it in less than 10 mins. Took me just 5 mins. The product itself is excellent, works better than expected and it also has nozzle cleaning option even though the nozzles are covered (which is great), the slide out when you turn the knob to start spraying and slide back in when the knob is switched off.I wish it had hot water option as well, BUT, hot water option requires getting a separate hot water line hookup which is a lot more installation effort and would require getting a plumber to get the hot water line from your main hot water supply or the bathroom sink etc. So I get why they kept it to only cold water which is super easy to install using the toilet seat water supply. Overall this is an excellent 11/10 product! Highly highly recommend. (This is NOT a paid review, I just really liked the product).

    After being in the ER this week, the nurse advised that I purchase a Bidet online from Amazon to address my GI issue(s). I did a thorough search to find one that was within my budget and easy to install with all the necessary instructions. As such, I purchased the LUXE Neo 185 and am very pleased the with color, quality and instructions provided. However, that being said, I did have some issues with installation due to my toilet configuration and the very small space in which I had to work. I believe it took a couple of hours total to install when it actually should have only taken about 45 minutes to an hour. I must say that although it took a while to install, the use of this Bidet is fantastic! It’s easy to use and so, so comfortable on the lower extremities. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the product and wish I had purchased it long ago to enjoy its comfort and many benefits.

    This product covers all the features you would expect out of an easy to install bidet in this price bracket. If water temperature control is important to you, consider looking into other products.The cleaning feature allows the spray head to flush itself without causing a mess. If you need to get to the spray head, the guard covering it can swing open.The housing is made out of plastic and is assembled well. The turn knobs click when they are turned on or off.Installation is straightforward, easy, and well documented. It can be difficult to tighten down the toilet seat tight enough to keep it from rotating when seated. Though if you’re toilet seat already is prone to sliding that is likely to continue once the bidet is installed. So, if you run into this, I would recommend looking to get a higher quality toilet seat.As with any bidet of this design, the water pressure is entirely dictated by your house’s water pressure. If your home has higher water pressure, so will this product and vice versa. I do think that if your home has lower water pressure, this product would still work well.My home runs on a higher water pressure. This product does have a knob to control water pressure, but, in my home, the lowest pressure setting can be a bit much for some. I do believe the company offers a pressure reduction kit but it would be nice to see this included with this bidet or the bidet be able to start at lower pressures.All things considered if you’re looking for a bidet in this price bracket with these features, you will be satisfied with this product.

    Works really well, easy to install, and is fairly unobtrusive. The new control knob is a nice upgrade over the older style lever (which could be easily activated inadvertently). These things will spoil you in a hurry, leave your rear end nice and clean, and you won’t want to use a restroom without one!

    Water pressure can be a little intense, don’t go above 2 or you will regret it. Overall it works fantastic.

    I love my bidet! I first bought one because I weighed over 200 pounds and I had a difficult time wiping after I used the toilet. Now, I have lost over 50 pounds (please hold your applause); I still use it and love it! This is the second one I bought because I hit the other one with the toilet plunger and knocked it out. Be careful if you have to “plunge” the toilet because the bidet spray part hangs down and gets in the way. It is also difficult to clean the toilet behind it too. But that is the only negatives, the positives more than make up for the negatives. Toilet paper is expensive (like everything else). Your bill and need for toilet paper will dramatically decrease. You simply will not use that much. The water spray from the bidet cleans you off much better instead. The knob on the side of the toilet where the bidet is attached, can be turned to adjust how much spray you want to come out. At first, I just sprayed at the low setting, but as I got use to it, now I switch between high and low depending on how much I think I need to clean myself. Okay, I know you are squeamish about cold water on your butt. It really isn’t that bad. In fact, it gives me a refreshing and clean feeling. When I wipe, there is no nasty stuff on the paper, if there is then I run the bidet again to make sure I am really clean. I know your second complaint is what about the wet when I pull my pants back on. I sit there a few seconds (drip dry!) and then use the toilet paper to wipe/dry off. You still need to use toilet paper to dry off, but not as much as before. I really don’t have a problem with wet pants.The bidet has a setting for the spray to adjust itself to clean your vag. I wish everybody had one and used it so we wouldn’t have so many smelly people! I don’t understand why more Americans don’t use bidets since we are so obsessed with germs and cleanliness. Anyway, the bottom line (pardon the pun) is I give this bidet five stars because it does the job well and I would definitely not be without it. Oh, one more thing. It is easy to install. Just don’t forget to turn off the water (personal experience here) before you attach the hoses.

    This took 10 minutes to install and works great. A different experience at first but so much cleaner and easier than toilet paper. Ordered portable bidet as well for travel occasions.

    The product installed very easily–I installed it myself in ~15 minutes, and I’m not a professional.Instructions were easy to follow, seated to my toilet and aimed properly on the first try. Product works great. Hoses and connections seemed strong and quality–not concerned about leaks and haven’t had any!Only complaint would be that the water can be a bit cold, but without a heated unit, that’s expected.

    The guy that talked me into buying this (and who not only owns this exact model for every toilet in his house but has given them to all of his family) said this would change my life! It has! My butt is much wetter now after I use the toilet! But it’s also much cleaner. If you haven’t used a bidet before (most of us Americans haven’t), it’s a bit startling but you will quickly get used to it and come to wonder why they aren’t on all toilets everywhere.I gave it 0 starts for Temperature Control as it doesn’t have a heating element or any control of the temperature. I live in Florida where even in the winter the “cold” water is actually about room temperature. If you live up closer to the Arctic Circle (like my native state of Michigan), you might want to consider one of their models that has a heating element. You’ll have to plug it in somewhere and that may require a new outlet be installed near the toilet (true for any bidet with Temperature Control). I also gave it 0 for Softness as that isn’t really applicable.What are you waiting for? Go get one! If not this model or one from this manufacturer, get one from whoever else! This proves this isn’t a fake review because what manufacturer would say that?

    Ok so I couldn’t use it in the toilet next to our bedroom. I was discouraged because: 1. The toilet seat bolts in the toilet were not long enough to accommodate the extra space for the bidet and the toilet seat and 2. The space between the toilet tank and the fill valve was too small to accommodate the T-adapter, it just wouldn’t fit even with a flexible hose. It is a very low toilet. I was ready to put everything back in the box and return it when I realized that I had another toilet. With that one I had no issues. Everything went smooth and I had it working in fifteen minutes. In my first toilet I made a water mess and had to use a towel to mop the floor but in the second toilet there was no water mess. The bolts were long enough and there was plenty of space for the T-adapter. All the connections attached smoothly without the included Plummer’s tape and with no leaks. It seems to work fine. I must say the water jet is a bit strong even at its lowest setting but maybe I can adjust it with the water supply valve at the intake.Oh , I almost forgot, after installation, the toilet seat does not rest flat on the bowl. There is a very wide gap in the front (1 1/8”) because my lid has a lip around the edge that does not allow it to close flat.They suggest installing toilet seat bumpers. But it is so wide that I might have to buy a new toilet seat. This means an extra expense and a few days more before all is finished but in the end it may be worth it. I do recommend this product. It is a simple design, easy to install and works just fine.

    I love the ease of installing these bidets. The bidets include all the plumbing fixtures you’ll need which is a pleasant discovery. I didn’t have to go to a big box store to get a part to install these like most items.These bidets operate great. There’s no need to buy a $300-500 bidet with warm water, seat warmers or air drying features. The design of these bidets is simple and should last years without any maintenance. The more complicated and expensive bidets have a myriad of possible failure points.A big plus: Paper is no longer used in our restrooms with these bidets. There are cloths you can buy that fit on toilet paper roll holders to dry everything after using the bidet. Another big plus is not having to worry about the toilet clogging from using a lot of paper. I like the fact that we will be reducing the amount of waste in the environment by not needing toilet paper.Lastly, if you’re on the fence about buying a bidet think about how you wash your hands. Do you just get a dry towel and rub dirt around or do you use water to make sure your hands are washed clean? With regular toilets you’re just smearing things around when you use toilet paper. With a bidet everything is washed away leaving you very clean.

    I chose this product because I was looking for a product that was easy to install and didn’t require an electrical connection. This bidet was a great value for the price and installation was quick. It installs between the porcelain toilet bowl and the toilet seat, so all I had to do was unscrew my existing toilet seat, place the bidet on the toilet (and align the mounting holes), and re-install the toilet seat. The product includes a water hose T-connector that splits the inlet water from the wall and directs it to the tank AND the bidet. All the connections were industry standards, so all the hoses connected to each other without issue (this is a great opportunity to upgrade your line hose to a steel braided hose if you don’t already have one). No electrical connection was required as this model does not have a water heating feature. The water temperature is ambient and not uncomfortable.After installation I noticed the aim of the sprayer was not aligned properly and I called the manufacturer for customer support. My call was quickly answered and after a few simple questions, the support agent determined I needed a replacement. A new replacement bidet was sent to me immediately at no charge. I was very pleased by their customer service and I recommend this product.

    After much debate we decided to purchase this attachment bidet. Hands down the best purchase and why we waited so long I have no clue. I was hesitant like a lot of folks were in trying this out. But this is a game charger! I purchased the famine wash model and my wife loves it! I mean who’s going to complain about being clean and fresh! Plus the amount of TP we have cut back on is already paying off!I was so happy I purchased a second attachment for our guest restroom. This is a bang for your buck!I recommend if you are on the fence about purchasing a bidet for the 1st time give it a shot you will not regret it. I 200% recommend this model.

    We bought the Luxe Bidet, our toilet lid would not close even with bumpers, so I ordered the Luxe lid that goes with it. The lid fits great but was somewhat of a pain and my husband is a plumber. He recommends if you are not one and have never installed a bidet with this lid that works perfectly with it, hire or get someone who knows how. Now for the bidet, it’s really nice. Be sure to test it out before putting on the lid but have a towel in front of it because it will spray the room. 🙂 Once the lid is on, you’re fine. I do recommend getting the Luxe lid because it fits it perfectly, and most people don’t have a cut out in the back of their regular lid for the part that shoots out the water to fit in. It cost more yes, but so worth it. Wish I had ordered it with the bidet in the first place. This bidet was recommended by several on Reddit, so I thought I’d give it try. Glad I did.

    I’ve installed several bidets in the past, but this one gets top marks in all categories.1. Packaging: everything was packaged beautifully and arrived in perfect condition.2. Materials: they provided everything! They even included teflon tape and tools for installation. The materials were solid and of very high quality.3. Installation: instructions were clear, in perfect English and simple. I would go so far as to say the installation was ridiculously simple. Out of habit, I got out my standard set of tools that I’ve used in other bidet installs and I didn’t need one of them – not even the tools that came so thoughtfully packaged with the product! It was so simple, everything was done by hand and installed within 10 minutes – no leaks, no issues whatsoever – from unboxing to flawless function.4. Design: they really thought through the installation process and use of this bidet and designed it for simplicity and ease of operation. The toilet seat adapters were ingenious and allow the bidet to fit with almost any toilet. The wingnuts on the connectors allowed me to install and tighten the hoses and T-valve using only my fingers. I cannot imagine a simpler or more elegant design.5. Function: what can I say? It performs its unenviable task simply and flawlessly. You can easily increase the spray pressure from non-existent to WOOHOO!!! While it does not heat the water, that is not an issue for me. I find the normal water temperature coming from the source to be soothing and refreshing.6. Support: they offer a number of means to easily obtain support should you need it, but you are not going to need it. They offer an 18 month limited warranty. They apparently have more confidence in this product than some bidet manufacturers have in their bidets costing many times the price of this one.I cannot believe the quality of the bidet I just installed for under $50! I feel like an idiot for spending what I had on other bidets. If I could change one thing about it, I would add a light around the controls for those of us too lazy to turn on the bathroom light in the middle of the night. But again, under $50?!?! Are you kidding me?

    I never posted a review when I bought this. I honestly had no idea how I’d like it.Especially when it really wasn’t that expensive against other products.People warned me that I wouldn’t like cold water spraying me in the winter and that cheap ones don’t work well.I really never believe 5 start ratings. Especially when people say they just purchased the item.Here’s the real truth. The physical installation was simple. I wasn’t crazy about my old toilet seat so also ordered the matching toilet seat. I like the soft closing feature on the new toilet seat.The bidet does a great job and the water pressure is fully adjustable.I use to use a lot of toilet paper and now I don’t.I’ve tried to get my wife to use the female position. I’m not sure if she actually ever tried it but said she doesn’t want to use it, nor does she like the plastic toilet seat. I bought one for her toilet as well and she doesn’t want it. I never installed or returned it.For the install you have to close the water valve under the toilet. Well, mine wouldn’t completely shut off. The old valve would still let some water through. I decided it was time to also change the valve. It was soldered on the pipe so I had to go buy a pipe cutter. To do this I had to turn off the water main for the house. That was also not turning off 100% and I decided I wasn’t going to break that fitting to replace the main valve. I was going to turn my water off at the street so I began to go on a wild goose chase to find the right pole to turn off that special valve. I was told I needed a special pole that isn’t sold at box stores. I ran around to multiple plumbing supply houses until I found one. It wasn’t cheap. I later (after all this was done) saw it at Home Depot for 1/3 what I paid.So now I have purchased all these tools and a new shut off valve for my toilet. I shut off all the water to the house from the street and cut off the valve. I don’t have enough pipe left sticking out the wall to put the new valve on. I know how to properly do it because years ago I had borrowed a neighbors pipe cutter, was able to turn off the house water, and easily replace her toilet valve.Now I need to keep the house water off and find a plumber. I don’t know how to solder a fitting on a pipe. I had to hire a plumber who can come ASAP and pay for a different valve that is the kind you solder on. In the end I had spent several $100.I still recommend this Bidet. If your toilet valve turns off the water the installation was very easy to do in about 30 minutes. I also like it’s matching toilet seat. Depending in the location of your toilet seats feet you may not be able to close the seat over the bidet. I wasn’t crazy over my seat so just went ahead and ordered theirs. Like I said earlier, I like the plastic as it’s easier to keep clean then the old wood one. I really like the soft self close. I’ve accidentally let other toilet seats slam because I’m now use to mine.

    to “normal”. TMI: This bidet is the best thing I’ve ever purchased! It will make you feel cleaner than you’ve ever felt with wiping. I used to use flushable wipes for that extra clean feeling, but now I don’t need to because this bidet does the job perfectly! (So it eliminates waste from flushable wipes!)I love it so much that I bought a second one for our other bathroom! And now my boyfriend is obsessed with it, too!I’ve raved about it so much that my parents took the plunge and bought two as well for two of their bathrooms, and they love it just as much as I do!This bidet is super easy to install—I was able to install two bidets in less than 20 minutes. It is durable, self-cleaning, pressure-adjustable, and more! I love this product more than I can say.Do not hesitate any longer!! Click “Buy now” and begin your life-changing journey!!!

    product is amazing! What a game changer. This product is great for anyone but especially great for people with mobility issues that cannot reach “back there”. My husband thought i was crazy but he loved it the first time he tried it! It is not heated water but it does not need to be. Some people say the stream is strong, but there is a dial that lets you turn down the strength of the spray. Super easy to install with all the needed items to install it. I did not have any problems with leaking. No leaks the first try! My toilet seat is elongated from Walmart and it fits perfectly without the use of any extra bumpers. It makes us so much cleaner than toilet paper. A little TP to dry is all you need. We will be saving a lot of money in toilet paper and save the environment while we’re at it! Try it, you will love it!

    use thread count not US standard. But I love having it. I have bought and installed three of these LuxBidet 185’s. I am thinking about getting my fourth. As you can tell, once installed, I am a fan!I am not a Plumber but I have replaced enough toilet fill valves that I am quite familiar with the back and underside of a toilet’s plumbing. I’ve now installed three going on four of these LuxBidet 185’s Each time it has been a real hassle to get the T valve to connect to the bottom of the fill valve. Admittedly it is always located in a confined space but when running the flex line from the wall directly to the fill valve the connection can be made leak proof with the hand tightened connection on the line in the first try. NOT SO WITH THE SUPPLIED T VALVE! IT IS VERY HARD TO GET THE NUT STARTED AND DOES NOT WIND SMOOTHLY AS THE TYPICAL SUPPLY LINE DOES. IT IS EASY TO CROSS THREAD AND HARD TO TURN ALL ALONG THE WAY.I Didn’t understand why until I recently had to replace a fill valve. While they are close, the thread count on the T valve nut is slightly more course than the thread count on the standard US fill valve that it connects to. So when you are installing the nut you are also cutting a slightly more course thread on the end of the pipe. The result is that something that should be easy to accomplish becomes very frustrating and difficult to make leak proof.While it was still working, the plastic was starting to crack on my latest one ( as it seems to do every couple of years with a lot of use) and given the frustration and time I spent trying to get the nut to recut the threads, I went and bought a second replacement fill valve (the nut had mangled the first replacement). I removed the bidet and had the new fill valve installed and leak tested quickly and without frustration. If the connections on the bidet were right it’s installation would be easy and fast too. You should be embarrassed that the show 90 day Fiancé showed how a young man tried to install this item but failed and had to call a plumber to install it. You can and should do better.

    Follow-up Review:First of all, I encountered a small problem with the functioning of the seat (fixed easily), but I want to remark that, when I called the company at the number listed in the bidet manual, my call was answer within a few minutes. The agent was extremely helpful, and made some suggestions which helped me solve the problem. The agent also suggested getting some “bumpers” (available for about $9) at attach to the toilet seat in order to change the amount of pressure on the bidet apparatus when someone sits on the toilet seat. His suggestions were very helpful in resolving the issue in the short term, and I am convinced that the bumpers will solve the problem permanently.As to the problem solved:After more than a year of use, the product is working great, except that I did run into a little problem. The bidet is designed to fit some different configurations of toilet seats and toilets – installation is adjustable, to a certain extent. As a result, over time the toilet seat can move in relationship to the positioning of the bidet. If the toilet seat gets too far forward of the bidet, it can act to reduce the water pressure going to the bidet heads, precluding them from descending below the front cover of the bidet, and effectively no longer functioning. That happened today. I was able to “repair” the problem by loosening the nut that attaches the toilet seat to the toilet bowl, pushing the seat back towards the toilet tank, and then retightening the nuts. The Bidet now works as it should.Part of this problem was cause by the fact that our toilet set is a form-fitted plastic, rather than a less expensive wood seat. The plastic tends to bend a bit, as it is much less thick than the wood. (We have the same bidet on another toilet with a wood seat, and we have not encountered this problem before.)In order to deal with this difference in the toilet seat construction, the agent suggested the installation of some bumpers obtainable from the manufacturer for about $9. I have ordered the bumpers, and they should arrive in 2 – 5 business days. In the meantime, I’m certain I can keep the bidet working properly, even if I have to readjust the seat again. That is an easy process, as it requires only slight loosening of the nuts on the bolts attaching the seat to the toilet, moving the seat back towards the tank, and then retightening them. (Sorry if I’m repeating myself, but I don’t want to spend any more time editing this review.)So, 5 stars for the bidet and 5 stars for customer support.Original Review:After installing the bidet in a secondary bathroom and using it for the first time, I immediately ordered another one for the master bathroom. I anticipate that a month’s supply of toilet paper will turn into a year’s supply – probably even longer. Retractable spray-nozzles aimed at just the right place, front or rear selectable nozzles, with a self-cleaning option on the spray-select dial.Installation was relatively easy – but then, I’ve replaced the mechanisms in toilet bowls several times, so working with that kind of equipment is not unknown territory for me. A couple suggestions:See if the water line from the water supply faucet to the toilet tank is flexible. If it’s not, you will need to replace it with a flexible line. (Note: I had to replace my water line, a stiff metal pipe of about 8 inches length. I replaced it with a 20 inch flexible pipe, because shorter flexible pipes weren’t quite flexible enough – a 12 inch pipe could not be made to bend to fit the space without putting a lot of pressure of the supply line coming out of the wall, and I didn’t want to cause a leak inside my wall. The 16 inch was almost flexible enough, but not quite. With the 20 inch, I could loop the pipe around and up, and gain a lot of adjustment room.)Make sure you have a large screwdriver or some other tool which will enable you to loosen the bolts holding the toilet seat to the toilet, as you will need to remove the seat and the bolts in order to install the bidet attachment.Next, make sure you have the wrench(es) and a set of pliers that fit any nuts on the water supply to the toilet, as you will need to at least remove the supply line connector at the toilet tank. The bidet attachment kit comes with two plastic wrenches. Neither one fit any of the nuts on my toilet.This connector is usually held in place by a plastic nut with flanges so it can be tightened by hand. Loosening it by hand may be a lot more of a problem, hence the need for some tool (like big pliers) which can break the seal on the connector nut and get it started. Once that seal is broken, you should be able to screw the nut back on with your hands, giving it one last 1/4 turn with you pliers.Use the white Teflon tape that comes with the bidet to help seal the water connections. Just one turn around the threads of the connections is enough. Teflon tape is worse than plastic wrap for getting bound up in itself. I keep some on hand for various projects. It’s easy to get an any hardware store. Look up a video on it on YouTube if your not sure how to do it. It’s not hard to do, but if you’re like me, you end up wasting a lot, because it gets bound to itself in a tight little rope that’s hard to un-bind.As an add-on, Luxe sells a T-Valve connect which has a shut-off for the Bidet water supply. The T-valve that comes with the kit works find, it just doesn’t have a shut-off. It’s possible that such shut-offs can be purchased at hardware stores or Lowes or Home Depot, but I don’t know. It’s just one more convenience – if for some reason the bidet attachment start leaking, you have to shut off the water supply to the toilet as well. The T-Valve shut-off should enable the water supply to the toilet to continue unimpeded.When installing, have a small bucket or a towel handy, as there will be a small amount of water that escapes when removing the water supply to the toilet. In that regard, remember to always turn off the water to the toilet at the supply faucet and then to flush the toilet before doing any work on it.

    Update: on 3/1/23 – It has been 5 years using this bidet. It still works! The spray knob broke recently. The symptom was you turn the knob, and no water comes out. I thought something was loose or broken. It was the inside of the knob, a part of the plastic broke off. By replacing it with other knob for male/female spray, I was able to use the spray although the off/on of the switch was in a different spot, so the knob looked on but was really off. During the time before my husband figured out that temporary workaround, I realized how much more toilet paper I go through without a bidet. While my bidet was out of commission, I looked at upgrading our bidets to a Toto but at $2,000 for a water stream where I would need to install an electrical plug outlet plus the extra electricity to keep the seat warm, I had made up my mind to buy another Luxe Bidet if I needed to replace the bidet.Based on the comments on Amazon, I went to the Luxe Bidet website and was able to order a new knob. I got the rose gold instead of the chrome knob, and it fit fine. It was only about $6 for a knob including shipping. I bought two, since we have two Luxe Bidet NEO 185s. We are back in business with new knobs with a cleaner tush with less waste (toilet paper in the sewers). Happy!Original review in January 2018:My husband bought the Astor CB1000. He likes it fine. The water jet on this is super powerful even on the lowest lever setting. It feels like a cross between a fire hose and a laser beam of water and actually hurts the softer areas. If you are looking for a super strong beam of water – power wash effect, that one for you. After reading a lot of reviews and research, I bought two of the Luxe Bidet Neo 185s for only $10 more than the Astor. I have used one Luxe Bidet for 2.5 months and we just installed the 2nd one.Pros:- Separate feminine wash (sprays more forward) and a butt wash separate nozzles (sprays more toward the back)- Has a protective cover over the nozzles to prevent the nozzles from getting stuff on them. Stuff could bounce up underneath the cover but it does cover them and the nozzles. The door seems to close well after use so far.- Unlike the Astor’s laser beam of power wash, the Luxe Bidet is more of a spray affect and you can turn up the lever to get a more powerful spray but it doesn’t hurt like the Astor.Cons:- Since it is more of a spray, my butt cheeks get wet, so instead of toilet paper, I am using a half a sheet of Viva paper towel to dry off (and throwing it in the garbage can). Drying off with toilet paper sometimes resulted in wadded toilet paper or it disintegrating before I could dry off.- It is a bit tricker getting the bidet installed so the nozzles do not extend down and hit the back of the toilet bowel. If they do, it means they door cover either will not open or the nozzles will get stuck in the extended mode and not retract behind the cover. There are half circles of plastic that you need to rotate to allow the lid screws in-place and to prevent the bidet from moving around.- The Luxe Bidet came with a plastic 3 way adapter which seems to work okay on one toilet but I also had bought the metal one when I read about leaks with the plastic one. We installed metal adapter 2.5 months ago, and it is doing fine. We just installed the other bidet with the plastic adaper it came with the bidet, it didn’t leak with the plumbing tape my husband added but will wait and see.- Since there is no heater for the water on this model, I do find in the winter using the spray a while for a messy job, can be a bit cold with the cold water. I am also disinclined to use the feminine wash in the middle of the night, since the cold water will wake me up.For both bidets, I bought the Danco 10062 toilet seat bumper to make up for the extra plastic for the bidet beneath the toilet seat. We tried it without them, but I think they are better with the bumpers.My good friend had a masectomy and couldn’t move her arm and shoulder. She said how much using a bidet allowed her to use the bathroom independently and not have to ask for help from her husband.Comparing using toilet paper which takes a lot more upper body and arm contortions to reach the back areas, the bidet makes it much faster, easier, and cleaner for your hands and you. I think for a person who has mobility issues of shoulder, arms, standing, or reaching, then the bidet is definitely the way to go!
