The hotel I stayed at while I was in Honolulu had a bidet attachment on the toilet. This was no doubt due to the many Japanese tourists that flock to Hawaii, who are used to having bidets at home. I was quite excited to see this in my hotel bathroom, as I’d never used a bidet before. I checked in fairly late into the evening, so I knew I probably wouldn’t be able to test this out until the next day.
During my first full morning on my vacation, I felt the need to evacuate solid waste, and I did so with some excitement, moreso than usual. The first thing I noticed was that the seat was heated. This was probably not required for a warm place like Hawaii but I can understand why this feature was included, as it would be a nice touch for places that do experience winter weather.
The bidet could be controlled with a remote that placed in a holder on the wall, next to the toilet. Once I actually pooped, I pressed the button that indicated it would spray some water to begin the cleaning. I was a little apprehensive since I had no idea if I was seated in the right position or if the stream was going to be too powerful. Once the button was pressed, I could hear some motors activating behind me. It took a few seconds before I felt the water spray. From what I could tell, a little door needs to open to expose the nozzle of sorts. Once the spraying began, I was relieved to feel warm and pleasant water directed towards my anal region.
The remote had controls for intensity and some sorta pulsation setting, so you could increase the strength of the spray and make it pulse in patterns. I just left it on the default settings for a while, letting the experience wash over me (no pun intended). This was my first time using a bidet, so I didn’t want to rush it.
After a while, I adjusted my position on the toilet seat slightly because I realized I wasn’t at the right spot where the stream would do the most work in cleaning me. I kinda shuffled my butt a bit and after some time, I felt like the spray had probably cleaned as much as it could.
I then pressed the dryer button on the remote. This caused another little door to open and warm air began to caress my anal region. I left it to dry my butt for a few minutes.
At this point, I had still not used any toilet paper. Now, I’ve heard some claims that a bidet eliminates the need for toilet paper, so I had to test those claims. After flushing, I did my usual wiping of my butt. Now, at least for that first usage of the bidet, I discovered that you still need to use toilet paper to get fully clean.
Over the course of the week, I used the bidet every single time after I pooped. I also increased the intensity and the pulse settings. On some days, it did a really good job and I only required a bit of toilet paper to finish up the job. On other days, it required almost the same amount of toilet paper as usual.
Overall, my assessment of this particular bidet is that I understand why people have these in their bathrooms. There is no doubt using warm water to clean your anal region is better than just toilet paper. It’s just much more hygienic. I wish all hotels had a bidet.
Now if I were to install one in my own home, this is how I’d want my bidet compared to the one in my hotel. I’d want one where the intensity of the spray would be ramped up more. Now I understand it can’t be too much because then you’d run the risk of spraying the water right up your anal cavity but the more pressure there is, the better it cleans. For the dryer function, I’d like the ability to make the air hotter and faster. The hotel bidet dryer function was kinda weak. It was slightly warmer than room temperature and it was like a gentle breeze against my butt. It took a while to dry my butthole.
Anyways, it was super fun to use a bidet all week. Looking forward to my next time with one.
