Four years after the toilet paper shortage of 2020, bidet converts say they’re never going back
While the toilet paper shortages that hit the United States during pandemic lockdowns in the spring of 2020 ultimately eased up, they’ve had a lasting impact on one industry: the bidet business.
“The industry here in the U.S. just blew up. You couldn’t get a bidet if you wanted to,” says James Lin, founder of BidetKing.com, an online marketplace for all varieties of the bathroom appliance. “We all sold out. … There was a huge scramble to get more.”
I’ve had a bidet for years, before covid even. It really is a game changer. You’d be surprised how much more clean you feel.
They have relatively cheap and easy to install ones that just go under your toilet seat and connect to the toilet’s water supply. That’s what I use.
Mine, sadly, doesn’t hit me in the right spots and I constantly have to move around the seat. Then my undercarriage is wet and takes time drying.
Same, but that’s an installation error. If yours isn’t absolute ass, it’s adjustable.
Mine is, I’ve just been too lazy for two years to fix it. I should do that.
I have the cheapest of the cheap lol. It has an adjuster that doesn’t work. Need to invest into something better.
Ahhh that makes sense then. Mine was like 70USD and goes back and forward, but I’ve got it too far back. The vaj wash hits my bum so I gotta lean REEEEALLLY FAR forward to clean everything off. I could fix it but like… ehhhh… lazy.
You’ve just convinced me to try again!
Ughhhhh maybe I will too then. I even have another toilet seat for it but when I got it, it seemed too complicated to install. I should like… do that.
Pshaw! Need. Should. Someone give us some adderall
My gawd please. Damn shortage.
I have one that has its own seat lid. The one my son has is the type you mentioned that just slips under the standard seat.
We had ours during the pandemic. While my friends and coworkers griped about toilet paper shortages, it was like having a hidden superpower.
