Well here’s something we never thought we’d be reviewing but, alas, here we are. Portable bidets. (Insert Oprah voice here) Your bum is never going to feel betttttter!
Another week, another trend. If someone suggested to us that bidets would become the unsung hero of the year, well, that’s a bet we would have lost. And while these may not be for everyone, let’s be honest, these really are for everybody.
We’re not so far removed from last year that we forgot about the miserable pandemic and the shutdown that the world experienced. When things shut down, well, we all bought all the toilet paper that was available in a 3,000 mile radius. In fact, according to recent stats, toilet paper was the most sought after item during Covid-19 and was almost impossible to find.
So, where do people turn to for help? Well, portable bidets and attachments, of course! Even those were hard to come by and, in fact, one company (WonderSpray) had a kickstarter for their “Butt Shower” with a goal of just $25K. They ended up raising more than $330K. Insanity! Clearly, people are hooked.
If you’re not in the market for a full-on bidet (we’re talking, like, the entire toilet contraption that was in all your Italian friends homes growing up), then portable/travel and attachment options are probably your best bet. The travel ones are more for campers, hikers, and general outdoorsy folks. While the bidet attachment is mainly for those of us who want to just hook it onto our existing toilet and not require the assistance of a plumber (or anyone, really, because we’re embarrassed).
One of the most viral companies in this space is Tushy. They’re pretty amazing and make all of this not embarrassing. We went with their Classic Tushy Spa/Bidet Attachment that was, not only, affordable, but pretty easy to set-up. With the simple turn of the knob you can easily and quickly, um, wash your bum after you poop. On the real, it’ll take care of your downstairs situation way better than toilet paper or even wipes would. Is the sensation weird at first? Yes. Does it work? Yes. Does it feel good? Sure does. But is it really needed? Here’s our official verdict.
You know what? The bidet attachment we tried totally worked. Like we said, it is a little odd at first, but we felt clean as a whistle and it even put a little pep in our step. Plus, we cut down on, like, 80% of our toilet paper use and, well, people claim that’s good for the planet. We don’t know how that works.
So the final verdict? We say, for sure, to do it! Your bum will really thank you for this. As will your underwear. But we digress.
