Pardon our forwardness...but bidets are becoming the topic of more and more conversations lately! Some of you are installing them yourselves in your personal bathrooms and many of you are wondering which one to try. Well â”€ here are some of the top seats to start your search. We'll leave the instructions to someone else!

 

Imagine if there was a way of decreasing your need for toilet paper, while still getting fully clean after using the bathroom. Many people have known about this simple solution for centuries: the bidet. Unfortunately, this porcelain washlet you can see all over Europe isn't as popular in the Unisted States.

A true bidet can require time and money preparing your bathroom with new piping, plus space for a new appliance. If you want the hygienic benefits of a bidet without the cost and mess, the real solution is a bidet seat. A bidet toilet seat replaces your normal toilet cover with something that blends right into your existing bathroom setup. Most seats come with one or two nozzles that will clean your posterior once you are done taking care of business. Different seats come with different features such as remote controls, temperature adjusters, etc. You should also find a seat that matches the colors and style of your bathroom’s existing decor. To play it safe, find something to match the tone and look of your toilet.

Wondering which bidet seat might be the perfect fit for your bathroom? We've rounded up the best options available today to help you choose the right one for you.

For a bidet seat with a little more adjustability, the Toto Washlet C100 is a more advanced option with a higher price tag. For the price, you will get an elongated or round seat with dual nozzles and a plethora of features other options lack. For example, in addition to the typical dual action spray, the nozzles oscillate back and forth for greater coverage. A pre-mist function will keep the bowl wet for improved use and cleaning afterward.

The extensive controls on the bidet include dials for adjusting the water and heated seat temperatures individually. The control panel is easy to reach and use before, during, or after you are done with the seat. The seat also comes with an air dryer, air deodorizer and self-cleaning feature to keep everything clean without extra work.

True bidet seats can get expensive even though they are more economical than actual bidets. If you want to experience the bidet lifestyle but are limited on the amount you can spend, the Luxe Neo 120 will give you a basic bidet setup without the additional cost. In fact, this option is perfect for people looking to try out bidets or who want to keep their existing toilet seat.

The Neo 120 is a control panel/nozzle device that fits right under your existing toilet seat. By doing away with the lid and seat, this option cuts costs while providing the same basic cleaning functionality. Using a single nozzle with a freshwater supply, the bidet attachmentworks without any need for electricity. Simply place the attachment onto the existing toilet seat, hook up the standard braided hose, and you are ready to go.

 

One of the secondary benefits many people like about a bidet seat is the friendly environmental impact. Since you aren’t using any toilet paper or sanitary wipes, you can keep the amount of waste to a minimum. A smart bidet seat can take this a step further with advanced features that save water and give you more control at the same time.

The Smartbidet SB-1000 is an advanced round or elongated seat that comes with an energy saving mode to cut down on the power it uses when not operational. For personal preferences, you can use the included remote control to adjust the water pressure, water temperature and nozzle position on the fly without getting your hands dirty. The warm air dryer is also adjustable for when you are done with the washing.

 

Non-electric bidet seats often lack the advanced features their electric cousins have but are often preferred for a much simpler setup. Without the need for an outlet, you usually just have to screw on the seat and hook up a hose. The GenieBidet Seat skips the need for extensive wiring while still providing some useful features at a great cost. What makes this the best non-electric seat out there? Put simply, the amount of choices it has to offer you.

Coming in both round and elongated profiles, the seat includes the typical adjustable pressure and temperature controls found on other options. In addition to this, dual retractable nozzles let you choose between rear and feminine area cleaning. The dual nozzle design insures the cleaning is area specific to offer the best quality.

 

A round bidet seat is perfect for more traditional bathroom styles that use the common round profile. The Kohler Puretide is a great round choice for its simple design, quick installation, and Quick-Attach hardware that makes cleaning a breeze. With a single, self-cleaning wand, the seat is relatively maintenance free. The manually operated handle also requires no batteries and electric hookups to operate.

The seat comes with Kohler’s Quick-Attach hardware that allows you to remove the seat when cleaning the rest of the toilet. This is helpful when you need to clean hard to reach areas like the space in between the seat and toilet. Grip-Tight bumpers also keep the seat secure when in use.

 

Adding a bidet seat to your toilet is a great way to promote good hygiene after using the bathroom. Bidet seats often do a better job at cleaning your posterior than toilet paper at a more economical price. While many bidet seats are designed for the less-common round toilet profile, the American Standard AquaWash Seat sits squarely on elongated toilets for a tight and secure fit.

This bidet seat adds a lot of unique features to your toilet without requiring any electrical connection. Installing this seat to the top of your toilet will add a single water jet for posterior cleaning. The jet includes detachable nozzles for easy cleaning and an adjustable spray pattern to fit different body sizes and shapes. The seat attaches and detaches with ease, so you can remove it when cleaning the toilet for better results.

 

What to Look for in a Bidet Toilet Seat
  • Shape- Bidets come in two shapes: elongated and round. Choose whatever shape matches your toilet, though you’ll likely find that elongated shapes are more common today. 
  • Features- It’s worth paying for a model with temperature control and adjustable jets for comfort. Features like UV lights, heated seats, and deodorizers are less necessary but great to have if you can swing it in your budget.
  • Remote control vs. panel- Even though a remote control is a nice upgrade, an organized control panel is sufficient for everyday use and may ultimately be easier for guests to operate.
