re: No longer a slave to big toilet paper: Just installed a Toto Washlet bidet

how long does this whole cycle take?

The ones I used in Japan were pretty much hold the button until you feel clean.

Waiting for the sophomoric comments about the "Pulsate" setting.

You think, "We're not in Kansas, anymore" or "Bless the rains"?

when people freak out about covid and buy up all the toilet paper it’s one less stress dumb people cause for me now.

That and hoarding bottled water had me shaking my head. I'd be in line at Costco and see people pushing out those big flatbed carts loaded down with toilet paper and water.

Did they really think the water supply would be compromised by a virus of that manufacturers would not be making toilet paper like they normally do.

Some people are such fools it boggles my mind.

I have one like that. You'll still use toilet paper to dry.

To me the worst part of a bidet is the idea it can blow dry your arse. I realize they have deodorizing etc, but I still can't stand the smell of warm shite being blown up through my leg channel. And it would take 10m worth of sitting there in it. A small dab with tp and it's perfect without it.

Love the idea of watering the sides of the bowl though. I have an old cheap one that is either warm seat or warm spray. We choose warm spray. But would be nice to have all those bells and whistles.

Weagle, now that you have had this contraption for a couple of days, could you tell us how you like it?

Thanks. I am enjoying it so far, still playing around with the water pressure settings for max comfort.

You have to ‘wiggle’ around a little bit on the seat for max cleaning when the water is spraying. Not a big deal but something that needs to be done.

Having a tank means that the sitting space is less than on a regular seat or tankless model. From than standpoint it isn’t quite as comfortable. The tank also means that you can deplete the hot water in about a minute, which afterwards the water starts cooling off. Turning the water off for a couple of minutes recharges the tank.

The tankless have unlimited hot water, but they draw more current. In my house that would have been too much for the circuit I used so I would have needed to run a dedicated line / breaker just for the bidet. Something to consider.

The air drying feature blows hot air but it can’t really dry you off unless you sit there a long time.

Heated seat is nice. Lid is too flimsy to sit on when down.

Glad that I installed it

jeez, you might need to change your diet or see a doctor.


I need about 10 seconds. Less if the water is cold. much less, like 3 seconds.

If you use a bidet for a long time do you lose your wiping skill level? Like if I use a bidet exclusively for a year and then I have to shite in the woods, are you less efficient at paper wiping?
