I Installed a Tushy Bidet in My Bathroom, and All It Took Was 10 Minutes and a Screwdriver

Now, I'm not particularly handy but I'm not not handy either. I'm very good at following instructions, and have just enough tools to get most jobs done around my house. I will admit I was a bit nervous about the prospect of hooking this up (compared to putting together some furniture) mostly because I had fears of flooding my bathroom and the apartment below if things went wrong.

But, truly, it couldn't have been easier as all I did was unscrew the toilet seat, add the Tushy, and reattach the toilet seat. Then, when it came to the water, it was as simple as screwing the hose to my toilet tank. The whole process, including reading the instructions, took less than 10 minutes.

Mine does have the hot-water feature, but I've never used it as my sink is across the bathroom from my toilet. It was actually no big deal as the Tushy Spa 3.0 comes with a cap so you can only use the regular water connection as needed, or there's a cheaper model without it. (And, on the subject of that temperature, it's the same as when I first turn on the tap so not particularly warm or cold, even in winter.)

As far as how it gets the job done, let's just say it's a next-level clean I didn't think possible (and the spray angle and pressure can be adjusted as needed, too). Looks like I have a potty mouth now because I can't stop raving about Tushy to my friends and, if there's ever another toilet-paper shortage, I'm more than ready to see how long I can make one roll last.

The updated Tushy Spa 3.0 Warm-Water Bidet Toilet-Seat Attachment ($119, originally $149) comes with bamboo or platinum-colored knobs, and can be hooked up to the warm-water supply right under your sink.

This model of Tushy Classic 3.0 Bidet Toilet-Seat Attachment ($99) is thinner than the original classic versions, seen here with a bamboo knob. All the 3.0 models automatically self-clean the spray nozzle between each use.

There's also the thinner Tushy Classic 3.0 Bidet Toilet-Seat Attachment (Platinum) ($99) with the silvery knob instead, which is more fingerprint-resistant as compared to the original with platinum knobs.

The part of the Tushy that goes under the toilet seat lid is a bit thicker with this older Tushy Classic Bidet Toilet-Seat Attachment (White/Bamboo Knob) ($89). You'll also see that you have to turn the knob on this version to "nozzle wash" when you want to clean that part.

This older model of Tushy Classic Bidet Toilet-Seat Attachment (White/Silver Knob) ($79) also has a slightly thicker base and requires manual nozzle washing by turning the knob all the way to the left.
