Toilet Seat Spa

[specialk]

I know - this topic is a bit personal and may be uncomfortable for some of us to discuss or consider, but I think it's worth a look. These are now available in our area and we have installed two in our home...we love them!
Most folks are familiar with the name 'bidet'; this functions like a bidet, but is nothing more than an upgraded toilet seat. Lots more hygienic than paper, gentler to aging tissue, and helpful post-surgery.

Is this it?

[specialk]

no, not familiar with that item. Ours is a full seat.

[dbussone]

I can't wait to see how this thread goes.

Dougbee should have something to say about this topic! :popcorn:

[graciegirl]

I wonder how many people own bidets? I have never used one.

I just noticed that the OP listed this under for sale. OP are you selling these?

[raynan]

I just googled toilet seat spa and there are many different brands. Who knew???!!?
What one does OP have?

[specialk]

Ours are Coco Bidet seats and our friend installs them when he sells it to you. Reasonable and, while not exactly a luxury, it's a nice addition as we age. A good item for people who are becoming less flexible, or are handicapped in some way. Plus, the fresh feeling is incomparable!
And I agree, I can't wait to see how the thread goes either. (that's the imp in me, which is why this is my very first thread post) :)

The thing about bidets... they're from an age where women wore skirts. And no underwear? I mean, we've encountered many in Europe, but I've never figured out how to use one without undressing from the waist down. The Coco seat sounds like a good alternative. I'm not quite sure about the wireless remote part, though. Can you clean your tush from another room?

There, DougBee, the ball's in your court!

Wow. $1089 reduced to $409 on Amazon.

[graciegirl]

And I think room temperature water would feel pretty cold being squirted you know where.

Hopefully it's from the same room if a remote is involved. Unless you have flood insurance?

In all seriousness do you mind if I ask what the price would be for an installed product?

[tedquick]

This topic reaches a whole new low, or high, or level or whatever on our blog. This will be a fun one to watch. Enjoy, all!! :)

Where is Dougbee when we need him?

[KayakerNC]

Let's see. :shrug:
The toilet seat is plugged into an electrical outlet, and you're squirting yourself with water from a steel wand....what could possibly go wrong?

[tedquick]

Now *that* is funny!!!

[Bizdoc]

And what if you forget and use it during a lightening storm?

A whole new dimension to electro-shock therapy?

And I bet I know exactly what people will yell when that happens! <ROTFLMAO>

That would be HOLY SH**:eek::eek:

[KayakerNC]

That would be HOLY SH**:eek::eek:

But on the other hand, those pesky hemorrhoids would probably be gone.

[obxgal]

Aaaaaaaaaah, just not sure what to say.

WOW. And the world continues to run without this. How could that be?

I gotta say my horizons were broadened with the whole collection of using the lu everywhere in the world.

We have what I've always called the "faux bidet" and have had this arrangement for some years. It was my husband's idea and was, I think, inspired by the two heads in our sailboat. It consists of a simple hose/water sprayer from Home Depot plumbed into the water supply line of the toilet, and adjusted for water pressure. The hose/sprayer fits into a receptacle mounted on the wall within reach. The water is never really warm but it sprays just fine and that's okay.

Recently, we were invited by friends to a private viewing of their new "bidet", installed by Paul (?) Sorry, his last name has slipped away. Maybe it's the same one the OP has? It is a wonderful electronic contraption with many features.

Anyway, after seeing it operate, I now call ours the "Poor Man's" faux bidet.

[NYGUY]

Wow!!....who would have ever thought!!...."interesting":undecided:

[specialk]

BTW, demos are available with a mobile model which has a cover to keep your home dry. No dropped drawers required.
And there is no unusual undressing required for the seat (vs. the fixture). One just 'pats dry', then off you go.

And the price range?

[Pointer]

My brother has a very nice model, warm water and a whole array of options. Very nice, but I had to remember to bring my reading glasses with me to read the remote or I could just be adventurous and press them all.

[specialk]

Demos are available for anyone who is interested. He has a mobile unit with a cover to protect your furniture and home from the water spray.

[billethkid]

water lines.....power lines.....really?

Keeping toilet seats and surrounding area is a task unto itself. Now add the power cord/line and the water line, the enclosure for the moving parts.!!!

Way too many joints/points/cracks/crevices (no puns intended, honestly) to collect what will be difficult to keep clean.

Not one iota of commentary that would warrant more than a nano second decision making....No thanx.

I would hope it was a private viewing :)

[wendyquat]

Sounds just fASSinating!

:a20::a20: Oh, I ASSpire to one of those seats!

[Barefoot]

I wonder if there is any ASSembly involved. If so, it would be a bummer.

[dbussone]

Still no info on price. I'll have to Depends on ASStrology.

Thank you..took a lot at it.

[benj]

It's ASStounding what you learn on this site.

[Gabby Granny]

KayakerNC asks what could go wrong using a bidet, combining electricity, water and stainless steel. I can help with this question as I am very familiar with the Coco Bidet. Happy to report, very little goes wrong with the Coco at all. It seems to be as safe as the many other devices we have around the house that combine water, electricity and steel. You know, things like washers for dishes and clothing, refridgerators, pumps, hot tubs. Like these other devices the Coco will make your life much more pleasant. The one thing I would not recommend is using the Coco bidet on the roof of your house during a thunderstorm. Otherwise the combination of water, electricity, and stainless steel is usally safe in modern household appliances. In fact, when you add the component of gas to the electricity, water, and steel combination the Coco not only does not ignite, it uses a very quiet fan with a charcoal filter to take away the unpleasant odors. But for those still phobic, the Coco can always be used as a regular toilet seat. It only operates when the user pushes a button on the remote control. One last thing. Yes, the hemorrhoids would definately benefit from a Coco bidet!

[marennorge]

I just installed one a month ago and I love it.

[marennorge]

There's no electricity involved...bought from Amazon for about $40. Installed it myself in about 10 minutes.

[nccommander28]

I have been using my bidet toilet seat now for two months. It not only saves on toilet paper, it is more hygienic and soothing. As a retired RN, I am concerned about hygiene and comfort. The bidet/ spa toilet seat meets both of these criteria. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. Thank you to Paul Poret and Marilyn Snider for introducing me the toilet seat spa.

[wendyquat]

Still waiting to hear a price estimate!

[CFrance]

Amazon sells them for $409, claiming to save you $680. Yikes!!!!!! All sales final, and will not fit toilets with a French curve, whatever that is.

Don't know why the OP wouldn't give a price.

That's quite a price difference.
I suppose they have "basic" and "super deluxe" models?

Nobody but the OP has stated a brand name. (See post #8.) OP said Boca Bidet, and that is what I googled. It's not $40. It's more like $400.

Somebody somewhere is being a bit disingenuous. Wish OP would state the price. I mean, why not? Why bring something up and then refuse more information?

The following website shows some in the $400+ range, one for $267.
This (for me) is one of those "Well, you learn something new every day" topics.
Not sure I'd ever want one, but some people sure seem to love them.

Hmmmm, these could wipe out a whole business niche.

[PennBF]

I don't usually post humor on TOTV but please excuse this one time. What if you placed one of these at the entrance to Tall Trees along with the current disgusting Port a John and a "Pink Plastic Flamingo" which do you think Community Standards would insist be removed. No need to post answer as I am sure all know which would have to go.:wave:

[bmarlo767]

I am in Asia now in a long term hotel suite that has an American Standard model system with control on the wall. It has heat control for the water and a drying fan. I will certainly install one in my home in the Villages when I am home. They are quite popular all over Asia, have seen them in China,Hong Kong and Thailand.

[Halibut]

Sorry if this is crass or TMI, but I've had health issues/surgery in "that area" and now I simply step into the shower and use the hand-held nozzle to wash with soap and water after a bowel movement. I have to slip off my shorts and underwear, but sounds like some of the spa bidets may require that as well.

Anyway, it doesn't cost $400!

[graciegirl]

I have been watching how many are reading this thread and the answer is quite a lot.

There are support groups for a lot of things but not for the issue that Halibut so delicately discussed.

PM me.

Since I feel the OCD need to dry every inch of our Roman shower after using it, lest any mold takes hold, I would opt for the $400 in this instance!:loco:

[momhere]

We had a COCO toilet spa installed recently and my wife and I love it. It functions in several modes, including bidget, bottom wash,seat warmer, heated water, directional control and intensity, child setting, ordor filter, dryer,nite light and hand-held or wall mounted remote control. Snaps off for easy cleaning. Easy to install with 110 gfi outlet It even saves on toilet paper! It's my favorite place to read! Makes a traditional toilet seat seem archaic.
