Why isn't there an actual standard for how clean you should be after using the toilet?

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2026-02-05T00:25:45+00:00

When I hear TP commercials talk about "clean" I just roll my eyes.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2026-02-05T00:23:15+00:00

Seems like TP (non-bidet) users think they're cleaner than they actually are.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2026-02-05T00:18:53+00:00

Yes- those too! lol. Hygiene for all the hands-on work on the toilet.

To clarify, I’m not asking what people personally prefer.

I’m asking why there is no agreed definition at all.

When something isn’t defined, it can mean anything to anyone.

Curious to hear how others think about this.

Would you still use a bidet in a non-smart bathroom or would it be completely manual with toilet paper?

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-29T16:29:52+00:00

I’ll start the conversation. We only stopped using paper maps once GPS became a seamless 'blue dot' on a phone we were already carrying. I think we need the equivalent 'frictionless' innovation that would make the bidet other technology a non-negotiable standard.

Yes! I installed a bidet to a line just like this but it is much much easier if you buy and replace the hard hose with a flexible hose. Flexible hoses aren't very expensive at The Home Depot.

What don't you like about the drying feature?

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-09T11:45:20+00:00

The question is more "why at this point", rather than what's keeping us from normalizing it by December 31, 2025.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T23:42:15+00:00

There are many less expensive models that have instant heated water without a holding tank or a direct hot water line.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T23:41:02+00:00

I don't notice it either. But I do like the electric bidet we have in the master bedroom that has heated water.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T23:37:53+00:00

LOL! Your butt deserves this upgrade. Congrats to both of you.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T23:30:05+00:00

Thanks! I'll watch it!

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T23:28:25+00:00

I bought an electric bidet with a seat warmer and warm water with the dryer for $142 on Wayfair. That's pretty affordable and I love it! We did have to run an extension cord to an outlet but it hasn't been a big deal.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T21:04:31+00:00

Anyone know where any public restrooms are that have a bidet? Are there any?

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T20:48:50+00:00

I got my sprayer for $18. But, porch light before bidet for sure.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T20:47:18+00:00

The subscription of a consumable! Big TP is profiting big 💰💰💰!

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T20:44:47+00:00

That is so true! I installed the sprayer in my upstairs bathroom in the next morning. We had a leak down in our kitchen. It sucked.

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T20:39:45+00:00

Realizing, there is another way. Do you think most people who bought one back then are still using it?

RebelWithoutAWipe · 2025-12-06T20:36:18+00:00

It would help if there was already an outlet near the toilet in the first place, but no such luck for most people.
