    Ok, I guess I’ll be that guy. Every time they are mentioned, it’s always people proseltyzing. It made me consider one, but I never pulled the trigger. All of the arguments I heard felt kind of unconvincing, and I couldn’t justify buying one without trying it first.

    Then I bought a house, and it came with two of them. I was excited to try them out and see what all of the fuss was about. The thing is… The ones I have suck. Now, one of them seems to have weak pressure, so it could just be a bad one. However, the other one feels like it’s trying to clean the back of my teeth, and it still doesn’t do anything I couldn’t do with paper. Sure, it might get the job done slightly faster, but I still need to use paper to at least dry off after I’m done.

    Maybe a better one could change my mind, but for us, they sit there, mostly unused.

      I think its better to dry off with paper than to smear poo around with it, but that’s a personal preference.

      You need the ones that have an “AI” aiming feature but the AI is actually a japanese man sitting in his cubical remote controlling it.

      I installed this for less then 20€ and can’t live without it anymore. I use a few toilet papers to dry my butt, it’s already absolutely clean 90% of the time. My whole family can’t go back to just wipe.

      You are supposed to use paper and then the bidet.

        Other way around. Save the toilet paper for drying a clena ass, not smearing the mess around before cleaning it.

      Maybe try a different model. I’ve got a simple one from Amazon that was only about $30. Now that yours is already installed on the tank, it should be easy to swap out a new one.

      Yep, bidet people are suuuuuper-fucking-weird to the point of having some kind of anal fixation.
