Tips for buying your first bidet

Let’s face it: toilet paper’s days are numbered. Watching TP all but disappear from shelves earlier this year as people went out of their gourd and began hoarding it during the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic felt like enough to make many question their loyalty to the product in the first place. Add in the costs that come with buying toilet paper in bulk as well as its environmental toll and your weekly purchase begins to seem like more trouble than it's worth. And while the devices have been around for decades, it seems as if many Americans are just getting hip to the wonders of the bidet. Bidets have had a huge year in 2020 and yet there is still some confusion as to which bidet models would be the most ideal for your bathroom. To help our readers sort through the noise, the staff at BDG studios put together this handy list of tips to consider when buying the right bidet for your home.

Go Affordable

Many bidets currently being offered on the market can range from $200 to $500, and that’s before having to assess if you need to make any major changes to your toilet just to accommodate the bidet of your choice. Fortunately for consumers, bidets truly don’t have to be that expensive. Typical bidets redirect your bathroom’s water supply, using the plumbing you already have at your disposal and converting it into a light spritz to clean you up after using the toilet. Take the TUSHY Classic bidet. At $79, this bidet is a steal, especially when you consider all of the money you will be saving on toilet paper.

Keep It Simple

Bidets should be designed with a single purpose – to keep your rear end clean. While some bidets might tout surround sound or smart functions, what you really need is something that will clean you comfortably and that is built to last. TUSHY bidets are designed to provide you with the best cleaning experience that is solely focused on that – cleaning. Its simple design makes the TUSHY Classic the perfect addition to any bathroom.

Consider Installation

When thinking about investing in a bidet, it is wise to look at the layout of your bathroom beforehand. Most bidets are designed to fit standard two-piece toilets. Other bidets can fit on a one-piece toilet when working with a flexible hose connection. If you’ve got a hard pipe connection, you may want to replace it with a flexible steel hose before you purchase your bidet. For most bidets, a nozzle underneath your toilet is powered by an adjuster switch on a side panel so that you can get the right angle, just like how you’d adjust your webcam on those group chats but more discreetly. The pressure control knob is used to give yourself a light rinse or if the job is particularly treacherous, a solid power wash. Consider the easy installation of the TUSHY Classic. Installing TUSHY on a standard two-piece toilet is clean and easy, and doesn’t require the electric routing you would need with a smart bidet. Another bonus – TUSHY bidet installation will take less than ten minutes, or about the amount of time it takes to check the latest viral video roundup on your phone.

Think About Temperature

When thinking about making the switch from TP to bidets, consider the following: do you like it hot or cold? While both are hygienic, this decision is a purely personal matter for each consumer to consider. For those who like the cold refreshing spritz, consider the simplistic TUSHY Classic. For those who want some heat for that bathhouse feeling, consider The TUSHY Spa, a model equipped with a temperature control knob to give you that feeling of “ahhhh” you normally have after a much needed massage session.

With TUSHY, you know you are getting a great product, that's easy to install, without all of the unnecessary bells and whistles. “Many bidets currently being offered on the market can range from $200 to $5000, tout all kinds of unnecessary smart functions and require expensive plumbing to install them," says Miki Agrawal, Founder & Chief Creative Officer of TUSHY. "Fortunately for consumers, TUSHY starts at only $79, installs in 10 minutes flat, requires zero plumbing or electrical and looks like it was actually designed for those who appreciate and care about design. And it also saves people thousands of dollars over time from toilet paper costs and helps save millions of trees from getting flushed down the toilet. It’s just a no-brainer.”

If you’re looking for the best bidet that you can get in terms of function and quality, try TUSHY for your bathroom throne and add in a splash of comfort to your everyday day routine.
