Fine Cleaning for Your Bum: The BioBidet
On Dwarf Dad’s first visit to Europe as a child, he was exploring a new hotel in England and encountered an old-school bidet. His sister wondered what that odd contraption was, turned the handle and promptly got sprayed in the face. At the time, you didn’t find any kind of bidet on the mass market in the United States. Fast forward to now, you can even find them on the shelves at Costco!
A Bidet? Really?
When hubby first asked me if we should buy a bidet, I didn’t see the purpose as I had gotten down the achon twist pretty well. I thought of it as a more bourgeoisie solution to a tabo. That is, until I had surgery.
High-End Comfort
Our Recommended BioBidet Models
BioBidet BB1000 Supreme
Has buttons on the side where you can choose a front (feminine) or back spray, nozzle position, seat temperature, and even a warm dry option — no toilet paper needed! Available in both elongated and round models to fit your toilet. A solid entry-level electric bidet seat with all the essential features.
BioBidet BB2000 Bliss — High End
If you prefer something more high tech, the BB2000 has a remote control that can adjust water temperature, pressure, and drying — and you can mount the remote anywhere for easier accessibility, which is a significant benefit for LP adults. Hidden buttons on the side as a backup. Both models have a seat occupancy sensor so there are no accidental spray surprises!
Other Alternatives
TOTO WASHLET S2
If you haven’t heard of BioBidet and want to stick to a more familiar name, the TOTO WASHLET line is highly rated. Dwarf Dad is a huge fan of TOTO toilets in general — they are unlikely to clog, which is a practical consideration for LP households.
GenieBidet — No Power Required
The modern electric bidet options are amazing but do require a power outlet near the toilet. We were able to add one during our master bathroom remodel, but not everybody has that opportunity. If you want that squeaky clean feeling without the power requirement, the GenieBidet is a great option. Happy Toileting!
