What works better. Wet wipes or this bidet? Do you have to use more toilet paper than normal because your rear end gets all wet?

The bidet is WAY better than wet wipes. I end up using less than half the toilet paper I used to, even when I used wipes as well, and it is not even close how much cleaner and fresher it feels with the bidet. It takes a little getting used to, but I will never go back to just wiping. Some of my plumber friends have warned me about wet wipes causing problems with your plumbing as well because even if they say they are flushable, they don't break down very well. One guy says that he has heard the words "it says it's flushable right on the package!" by his customers so many times when he explains what caused their pipe blockage he believes that phrase put his kids through college.

Flushable wipes are not flushable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hdX3c5wcgEWant to see something sickening. Google Fatberg. "A fatberg is a congealed lump of fat, sanitary items, wet wipes, and similar items found in sewer systems, which do not break down like toilet paper. Such deposits are officially referred to by this term by authorities at Thames Water in London, UK." "Wet wipes cling to the fat. Fat clings to the wipes. And pretty soon your fatberg is out of control and sewage is backing up into roads, gardens, and in the worst cases flooding up through toilets and into homes," said Dave Dennis, Thames Water sewer operations manager.

I started out using TP, but once I became more 'adept' went to cloth. It's just easier.

Wet wipes are not good for many drainage systems...even though they might say "Bio-degradable"....they still clog.....I use far less toilet paper since I installed my Bidet... as the water is easily wiped off and absorbed by the toilet paper, your waste, however, often times takes several attempts...lol

No. I use a bath towel to wipe my rear end. You can wash this towel once a week. no toilet paper. So I am very happy with my bidet. An added advantage is this bidet can be used as a gentle massager to your butt also.

There's no comparison. Much cleaner with the bidet. You use a fraction as much paper as you normally would.

The bidet is definitely better that wet wipes and much less messy. The water spray is focused and won't get your rear all wet. You will actually use LESS toilet paper as you only need it to dry water and would rarely see residues there. A 12 roll pack of Toilet paper used to last me a month. Now it lasts me more than 3 months after I got my bidet.

For some people I could see you using more paper trying to get dry. I personally use less paper. If the water is position right you'll only be wet in a small area. The first couple times I used the bidet I had water everywhere. Once you get the position right it'll be less wet. I've also read that some people use hand towels to dry off. Now you've cut out all paper.

I just keep a hand towel in the sink cabinet and use that for #1 drying (female), then wash once/week. For #2 I just fold up several sections of TP, but there is never any "residue" after using the bidet....just wetness. We have a bidet on all 3 toilets in our house now because I can't live without one! Even my hubby started using it and now he's hooked. These things are GREAT!

No I have had one for years, never had any problems. You won't go back to just toilet paper!

They are the same thing but this Blue Bidet is better in that you squirt it from an upside down position, enabling you to use all the water or contents. This makes it much more effective and easier to reach where you need it most.

I use alcohol to wipe mine down. I am the only one using it, however. Good luck!

I opted for nitril gloves and a bleached based spritz bottle cleaner. Just empty into a regular toilet. Spritz with sanitizer and fill with water, empty again until cleaned out and return to the chair. I never tried the liners so I don't know how well that works.

Have 2 bidets. Wouldn't get one without the drying fan. First bidet we used was in Japan. Cold water, no dryer. Like taking a shower and drying off with TP. Doesn't totally do the job, but no TP needed. Or a dab of TP if you feel you need it.

I have never attempted to flush one but I am a believer that only toilet paper should go down the toilet. Plumbers must not like me! :)

Do not flush, really even when wipes are called flushable, don't. But these do not pretend to be flushable. They are thicker than the average wipe.

The toilet has a low water level because it uses "wash down" technology. The solution is to get a toilet with the old style "siphon" technology.The siphon type toilet flushes slightly less efficiently because it has a narrower trap way but for cleanliness it's worth it!

The scrubbing pads already have the cleaner in them. All you do is wet the pad in the toilet and then scrub the toilet bowl with the pad. It works great and I usually try and leave the suds in the bowl for a few minutes then I come back and flush and the bowl is "sparkly clean". So much more sanitary then having the nasty old toilet brush setting in your bathrooms!

Emily, regular wipes in size and brands... the only thing is that you have to be careful in closing it properly, if not wipes get dry easily

I use my bidet every day. Yes, you should still wipe. The bidet assures you a very clean behind. But lets admit it, it is water and wet. I usually use a little TP to dry off too. Hope that helps.

Buy a Hygienna Solo on Amazon. It fits on to most any water bottle. And you'll use lots less toilet paper, and get cleaner.

I have not tried any other wipe product in this dispenser. Cottonelle's wipe could be a little softer. Regular toilet paper would not be able to be used.

Bidets pressure will be controlled mainly by sink pressure. So if you have low pressure at sink side bidet will have low prwssure. But if the sink has high pressure you can control it at bidet.

No problems at all with so-called skidding. In fact not having any problems with toilet. Also I can recommend Luxe brand of bidets. I have purchased five of them over a three year period. Three for myself and two for friends. Don't buy a bidet for keeping the toilet clean, buy one to keep your self clean. You will love using a bidet. Not sure why more folks are not catching on to this. The model you mentioned is a full seat bidet. The Luxe line is more like an attachment. The results are the same. If you are looking for a full seat bidet the S300e would be fine. You do not have to spent that kind of money to get the SAME results. If you don't buy a ToTo, buy a bidet. You will be glad you did.

I agree TOTALLY!!! I am amazed that Americans don't "demand" bidet's on toilets. We, after all are supposedly some of the "cleanest" people on earth; we shower daily; but yet we don't take seriously something that gets to the very heart of cleanliness (cleaning your bum after using the toilet). I have a bidet on each toilet, and now my dad and sister have one. But it's a strange process when you first tell people about it, because they do seem to chuckle at first....go figure!!!
