Review on πŸ’¦ Astor CB-1000 Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment - Fresh Water Spray, Non-Electric Mechanical Upgrade by Brandon Wynen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

You will feel like a clown at a carnival.

My ass has never been cleaner. Like most Americans, I was hesitant to use a bidet, unknowingly considering it more of a feminine hygiene product. After doing a little research I decided on this bidet based on the reviews and the price. Installation: I am familiar with the removal and installation of toilets and house installations. The attachments and hoses appear to be of decent quality and I had no trouble making a solid connection. The toilet seat brackets are front to back adjustable so I can move the bidet forward or backward. I don't think there were any instructions for 'proper' placement, so I moved the bidet back to the toilet as close as possible without touching it. I think it was the third notch from the front. I could also move the bidet from side to side so I just centered it in the bowl. If you have a crooked hole, these settings may not work for you. I didn't use teflon tape as there is a rubber washer at each joint; no leaks in any connection. For tools, my entire setup only required an adjustable wrench. Of course, if you unplug the toilet bowl you will spill some water, so have a towel handy for that. Usage: I had no intention of "resting" at that particular moment, but I absolutely had to check it out. I opened the lid and flipped the switch all the way down to see what happened. Well, the water splashed all over the adjacent wall. It was a real eye catcher and certainly increased my fears about using a bidet. It felt like I had just installed a pressure washer in my toilet and if you've ever read the warning label on a pressure washer, you don't want to show this in your lower body. I wiped off the water, closed the lid and decided to save this newfangled thing for later. Finally, it's time to experience the cleaning bliss. Having never used a bidet before and seeing what it was capable of on my first try, I was a little frowned at first. Maybe this could change my results a bit too. I shuddered as I gently flipped the switch to the first "OFF" position. and began to wait. For the most part nothing happened. So I turned it up a little bit more and WOW! Apple! I won't lie, it was quite shocking at first and a lot of questions ran through my mind. I'm not going to say this experience is like being cannonballed during a nude dive, but it definitely lets you know it's there. I spent a lot of time making sure "everything" was clean, then turned it off. moment of truth; I tore off a piece of toilet paper and wiped it off a bit. TP broke up. Swelling. Then I realized that a gentle drying was in order. Then came the exam, which I passed with flying colours. I also felt a level of freshness that I hadn't felt before this method. I've never experienced anything like this to be honest, so I can't find anything that compares, but I have to say that I quickly got used to this bidet being the end of my "relaxation" sessions. Note: I've found that the water doesn't start to spray until the switch is turned to the "LOW" position, or maybe even after a click or two. I also found that I had to make small adjustments to get to all the necessary spots. I don't know if that's typical or if this bidet has a smaller stream than usual. Some have reported problems closing the toilet lid completely. I haven't had any problems myself. Obviously it has to do with which toilet seat you have. Toilet seat brackets are ugly, but I guess most people don't go into the bathroom wondering what toilet seat brackets look like. One of my sons used a bidet. Like clockwork, he's now using our main bathroom (which has a bidet) instead of his own, so I'm guessing that could be a positive sign. Wife hasn't used it yet. Maybe I'll update once I hear her story. I think I am happy with this purchase and will continue to share in the joys of anal cleanliness. Judging by my daughter's reaction when the jet of cold water hit her ass, a surprised look and a bit scared lol I'm not sure I'm ready for that. By the way, this is a great toy for a 4 year old child. I notice her brushing her barbie's hair or just closing the lid and letting the water run through. Happy times.
