I retrofitted a bidet attachment to my toilet!!

I bought a house 2 years ago. It was built in 1973 by local super-rich guy as a summer home to offset his San Diego winter home. After about 10 years he sold it to another guy who used it as a summer home mostly and then his kids sold it to us. We live in it year round.

Though the house is 40 years old, it has not had 40 years worth or wear.

Each bedroom has its own bath (sort of a double master type layout.) Room #1 has pepto-bismal pink fixtures and gold knobs. The other has sunshine yellow fixtures and chrome. Each has a bidet; one pepto-pink the other sunshine yellow. They are very refreshing!

Pretty much the same thing the hand wand does in the shower. I do not "need" the bidet for every "transaction" but when you need it, it is nice to have; you'll know when you need it.

I don't know who Dr. Smooth is, but he recently appeared out of nowhere (he is only 'reader' status). No offense dude, but you creep me the berkeley out.

Actually it was over a roll a day on average some days more some days less..

In reply to the second comment.. I have been around here for a few years. I only recently added an avatar so It may seem that I appeared out of nowhere. Since messageboard members are generally more memorable if they have an avatar.

Those of you with fine sensibilities and and/or are easily offended turn away now. I'll try to be as discreet as I can and still get the point across. So, I take it you squirt some water up at your shiny happy person. Do you rely on water pressure alone to dislodge the Klingons circling Uranus? Or do you scrub with something (what)? Then how do you dry off without leaving skid-marked towels around (ain't nobody got time fo' dat)? It seems toilet paper is ill-suited to these tasks as it tends to disintegrate at the slightest hint of moisture. I'm serious.

The water does it all!! Most models are aimed correctly from the factory. If you find that it is not aimed properly, you may have to adjust your stance on the seat.... It is certainly quicker than using paper. and there will be no skid marked towels since if used properly there will be no "RUBBER" to provide skid marks. Also; You do not need towels to dry off. From the factory the nozzle generally hits the mark, with very little unintended spray. Drying off involves using slightly more E36 M3 tickets than one average wipe. Except you are only wiping once. Instead of wiping again and again..

So, who's gonna start the GRM bidet build thread? Surely there's enough parts laying around shops and houses to cobble one of these buggers together. Note: it won't be me.

a garden hose and a "T" fitting would seem to be the materials... maybe some zip ties to hold things in place...

They have those in Japan too. I made the mistake of trying one without setting the power level the first one I went there, I was expecting "gentle shower", not "power washer assault."

We put a bidet in our master bath. The wife finds it quite useful after doing married people things.

We're still talking about this E36 M3?

Oh E36 M3, married people are supposed to do those things? I have to tell my wife, she'll be shocked!

She rinses the dishes with it?

With the number of kids you have she's been "doing it" somewhere.

I couldn't help thinking of this from your image...

Also be very wary if there are brown towels in the bathroom

Oh we get to it every few months, but I've been conditioned to think it's abnormal and weird.

Oh berk that e36 m3! Few months, I'm not single!
