Easy Cleansy.: Bidet and bidet parts

A bought it when toilet paper was becoming increasingly difficult to find. I've never used it but thought it would save toilet paper and I was right. I've only had it a few days and today I just plugged in a GFCI socket. I used it with an extension cord from another GFCI outlet. Out of the box, the instructions are clear and installation is easy. I was a little worried about the plumbing connection because the line between the cutoff and the tee is a different fit than my current cutoff connection. But the tee is the same thread and size as the toilet inlet. I was able to use my existing line to connect to the tee. Installing the bidet and plumbing only took a few minutes. I have a lot of hair everywhere except on the top of my head. So cleaning has been a problem all my life. This makes cleaning considerably easier. I also feel cleaner. , the control knobs cost enough to allow a completely blind user to operate the controls without difficulty. Yes, there are indicator lights, but they are not critical to operation. It behaves reliably and predictably, making it very blind-friendly. Visual assistance is required to identify the buttons, but this can happen with clothing as well. Seat Position: Depending on the style and brand of your toilet, you may be able to move the seat slightly after initial installation. I did and it really wasn't difficult. Why did I have to move it? I found I needed a little more clearance under the front of the seat to keep the rim of the toilet away from my body. Toilet paper and tissues: everyone is different, and poop is different. For a very watery stool, the bidet is perfect for cleaning, rinsing and a too dry TP before hitting the dehumidifier and you're good to go. BUT, when the poop is like peanut butter, neither the bidet flush itself nor the wipes themselves have helped me get clean. Cleaning up peanut butter poop definitely requires wet wipes and a bidet rinse, and sometimes multiple uses of both. Lingerie: My wife is not impressed. She says that to flush with just female urine, even when it's adjusted all the way forward, you have to bend and stretch a little to get the water where it's supposed to be. Otherwise she had no problem with the bidet. Water Heater: This is good, and if you need a few rinses, a few seconds (30?) and the heat will warm up the new water enough. Positioning: It takes practice to choose new sitting habits that are most effective when using a bidet. While an adjustable nozzle position helps, for the best flushing experience you need to be in the correct position, as well as adjusting the position of the nozzle and possibly wiggling it a bit. Conclusion: It was a good purchase and the bidet will be a part of my hygiene products for the rest of my life. Now I'm looking for options to add a bidet to our RV/RV.
