    I couldn’t live without my $40 bidet. It was super easy to install (took about 10 minutes & my own clumsy DiY skills), and I get a nice nether-shower many times a day. The only drawback is how gross it now feels to use public facilities.

      Are you me? This was my same exact experience, down to the clumsy DIY skills. I had a very slight leak in the thread where the hose connects to the bidet dial, but that just required tightening it more and then leaving a plastic garbage bin under it overnight to make sure the leak was totally plugged (it was; I was being paranoid).

      Public restrooms were already uncomfortable between huge stall door gaps and rock-bottom-quality toilet paper, but this has added a third dimension of hell to them.

        Are you me?

        Maybe… oO
        In an infinite universe, can we even be sure we exist at all?

        On a more serious note, I dunno if you take yours off periodically to clean the gaps beneath it, but if you do, I highly recommend using a bit of that white plumber’s tape (I think it’s Teflon tape?) to wrap the threads when re-installing it. This prevents any leaks from that connection. I don’t trust my own abilities and this stops me from worrying about it.
