Tushy Bidet Review

Bidets have been used since the 1600s. While not as common in America and Canada throughout history they’ve been a staple in most European countries for centuries. They’re becoming more common due to the sustainability movement and thankfully they’ve become a bit easier and more pleasing to look at than the 17th-century bucket bidets they used to use.

So how is a bidet more sustainable? Bidets can significantly cut down on your toilet paper usage which as e know is most commonly made from trees. Since installing our bidet, my husband and I have cut out toilet paper usage in half. The bidet rinses and then only a small amount of toilet paper is needed to pat dry afterwards instead of multiple wads to get everything clean.

So here is an in-depth look at one of the most popular bidets on the market!

Installation:

Bidets can seem intimidating to set up as they literally attach to the plumbing. But it was so much easier than anticipated. We were able to install our bidet attachment in under 30 minutes with zero problems. If you get stuck on how to install your Tushy, they have an entire youtube channel chalked full of tutorials and resources! 

Tushy classic features: ($99)

The Tushy classic is their most popular model and the one that I have.

• Self-cleaning nozzle
• Pressure and angle control
• Anti-microbial knobs
• Nozzle retracts when not in use so it stays sanitary

Tushy Spa Features: ($119)

• Self-cleaning nozzle
• Pressure and angle control
• Anti-microbial knobs
• Nozzle retracts when not in use
• Temperature control

Since I only have the Tushy Classic I can only speak to that one but the only main difference seems to be the temperature control. It also states that there is an additional step in installation, but I’m sure it isn’t too difficult. Not having temperature control isn’t a problem either, I quite enjoy the blast of cool water. It’s rather refreshing.

Using the Tushy for the first time:

If you’re not familiar with using a bidet it can feel a bit…shocking the first few times. After all, you are being blasted in the bum with cool water. But you quickly get used to it. And like I said, it feels so refreshing. It wasn’t until after using the bidet for a few weeks that I realized just how much toilet paper alone wasn’t cutting it. 

It’s funny how people kind of give you a funny look when you mention using a bidet but when you think about it, we use wet wipes on babies’ bums in order to get them clean and then somewhere along the way just stop. Nothing gets you clean quite like using water.

It’s just like Tushy founder Miki Agrawal says, “If a bird pooped on you, would you wipe it off with paper or wash it off?”

You may be wondering how to dry off after using a bidet? Like I mentioned earlier you can use toilet paper, and use a LOT less to pat dry. Tushy actually sells treeless bamboo toilet paper as well. Or to completely eliminate toilet paper you can use some of their reusable cloths to pat dry! No, it’s not gross. After all, your butt has just been power washed!

Final thoughts:

I love my Tushy Bidet. I’ve only had it for a few months and I cannot even remember what life was like before having one. And at the Classic Tushy price point, it is so worth it! You’ll be saving so much money on toilet paper and I promise you will be the cleanest you’ve ever been.

You can opt for the Tushy spa if you’re wanting warm water but it’s not necessary for the basic function of a bidet. The Tushy is easy to install, self-cleaning, lets you control the pressure, is better fr the environment and most importantly gets the job done.

I would 100% recommend the Tushy bidet to any and everyone with a bum, it has changed my life!
