Yes! We got a bidet. I’ve lightly researched bidets for a while. A good friend, Darlene B, got one a few years ago and absolutely raved about it. I thought of choosing an under-the-seat attachment one, such as “The Element”, because it would be considerably less money, but Barry said he didn’t want cool water spraying him down there, and he liked the idea of warm, drying air afterwards. So we splurged for the full meal deal. The Omigo.
Our Omigo arrived today! Prior to delivery, I received a couple emails to be sure we were prepared for installation. This company is amazing. Not only do they have installation videos and tips, the packaging is amazing, AND you can try out the bidet for 90 days. This is the only bidet I found that can be returned for a full refund AFTER trying it out! The reviews were outstanding, so I guess with that kind of customer satisfaction the company feels confident making that kind of offer.
Additional features I like about the Omigo:
- sterilization feature
- full seat has a quick release to remove to totally clean the toilet.
- night light (The one on the wall in the picture is not part of it.l)
- soft-close lid
- deodorizer feature that uses a natural, charcoal feature
Installation was super easy and quick. It is taking longer to read about all the functions, and the variability within those functions. 🙂 Company slogan: “Let it be weird”. Initially, using a bidet is a weird or odd sensation, but it quickly becomes quite pleasant. Is the whole bidet idea just too weird? For many people, things they are not used to are considered “weird”. But think about it…which one should be considered the weird or even an icky practice – wiping fecal matter from your tushy with sheets of toilet tissue, sometimes smearing it more on your derriere, or using a directed spray of water to remove any fecal residue? I like the idea of being cleaner from a water wash rather than what toilet tissue alone provides.
Additional Reasons for a bidet:
How awesome it will be to never worry about shortages of toilet paper ever again! Ever hurt your dominate hand or arm, or have a sore back and try to wipe? Most people wish to keep their dignity when it come to bathroom hygiene. A bidet allows you to be self-sufficient when injuries occur and/or when physical limitations arise from the inevitable aging process. Better for your household plumbing since TP clogs will no longer be a concern.
We will see how well the Omigo works for us. After all, we have 90 days to test it out. 🙂
QUESTIONS FOR YOU:
I am curious if you have a bidet. If so, what prompted you to get one? Are you sorry you got one? Do you wish you invested in a different one? Does yours get you fully clean? Does it dry? Dry the area completely? What brand and model do you recommend? If you don’t have one, have you considered getting one? Which one are you considering?
In 2005 my husband was in a very bad motorcycle accident where both of his arms were shattered and put in casts. This would have been something good to have for him at that time since he could not use either of his arms and always had to ask me for help.
Wow! I can’t imagine how horrible that must have been without even considering the toilet issue. They really have a variety available now–along with a substantial coinciding price range.
