Ok, so I want to buy a bidet. Where do I start? 

Great! Glad to hear you enjoy feeling clean and are ready to upgrade your throne.  First, you need to determine what type of toilet you currently have (or whatever toilet you wish to equip).  Toilets come in two basic form factors: the standard 2pc with separate tank and bowl, or the more modern 1pc toilets.

Got it. So what does it mean if I have a 1pc or 2pc toilet? 

Well if you have a 2pc toilet, you're in luck! Virtually all bidets will be able to fit.  If you have a 1pc toilet, your selection is a bit more limited. Read product descriptions carefully to make sure the bidet will fit your 1pc toilet.  Some great examples of bidets that fit 1pc toilets include the CleanSense dib-1500 and the COCO 6235.

Well, how do I know if my toilet Round or Elongated? That's important too right?

Absolutely.  After you figure out whether you have a 1pc or 2pc toilet, the next step is to determine if your toilet bowl shape is Round or Elongated.  Many of the more modern, stylish toilet bowls have the Elongated shape.  Measure your toilet in inches from the center of the two mounting holes, to the end of your toilet bowl (line A) as shown below:

-If Line A is roughly 16.5, your bowl is ROUND. 

-If Line A is roughly 18.5, your bowl ELONGATED. 

Check the product specifications for exact measurements if your bowl falls somewhere in between. 

That wasn't so bad. Are there any other concerns I should have? 

Color.  Several of our bidets like the Bio Bidet BB-800 come in either White or Beige.  Pick the color that most closely matches your own.

Also, many of the electronic bidets are controlled by control panels attached to the right side of the seat.  Check the area surrounding your toilet to make sure you have a solid 4-5 inches of clearance on the right side to accommodate for the control panel.  If you find that clearance is going to be an issue--consider upgrading to a model with a wireless, mountable remote control like the CleanSense dib-1500R or the COCO 6035R .

Ok. I figured out the size, color, and shape of my toilet - how do I pick the bidet that's right for me? 

Look deep down into your soul and find your true bidet calling.  Just kidding.  There are two main types of bidets to choose from: Standard and Electronic.  

Standard bidets like the Bio Bidet BB-50 and the Biffy Universal attach to your existing toilet/toilet seat and are an economical way to experience the joy of bidet washing without breaking the bank.  They generally only offer natural (cold) water hookups and basic  nozzle functionality, but are still great at the one thing they're designed to do: clean your butt.

Electronic bidets like the CleanSense dib-1500 and the INAX Clessence replace your existing toilet seat altogether and can offer an array of luxury features from heated seats to warm air dryers depending on how much you want to spend.  The CleanSense dib-1500, INAX Clessence, and COCO 6235 are some of the best available values on the market because they include the full range of luxury features at great price points.
