- Tushy.......It's a Bidet
Why a Bidet?
For one, I like to be able to save money where it makes sense. Toilet paper costs money, which I understand. But if I can invest into something that cost effective (the amount I spent on this is the equivalent to the amount I spend on toilet paper monthly), more hygienic, and good for the environment, I am all about it.
It was jarring the first time I used this, a rush of cold water hitting my bum but I realized, no more stinky butt, no more toilet paper, SAVE $$$$$
I LOVE THIS THING

This is what you get when there is no dad in the home growing up a grown man with a man bun who calls a Phillipshead screwdriver a cross head who probably can't do one Manley thing hell this guy couldn't change a tire
And you must have some kind of problem with yourself if you got the time to write a comment like this. My Dad was present completely and was VERY handy. Plus.....I'm a combat veteran. One of the most manly things you can possibly do is serve our country, something you obviously know nothing about based on the disrespect.
Plus you spelled manly wrong.
Get a life.
@@TheScrambledLife sounds like i rubbed your sore little balloon knot the wrong way with that comment about your dad
@@nicholasdouglas7080 who cares if a man is "manley" or not lol stop being a caveman and stop leaving skidmarks in ur underwear! goddamn !
@@nicholasdouglas7080 There's nothing wrong with a man bun. Chinese samurai's had their hair up in knots as well, and they could lay you down on your sorry little ass.
And furthermore, there was an episode of home improvement with Tim Allen where he got shit for calling a toilet float a balloon. He later explained to his audience that he called it that so that everyone would understand him whether they were handy with tools or not.
If you think Tim Allen isn't a man, then I'm sorry buddy but you need some help. You're so insecure in yourself that you have to run your mouth on other men to feel relevant.
It's more important to know how to use a tool, than to know what it's called. Lots of people know what a manual transmission is, but not everyone knows how to use it.
Have a good day, and maybe think next time before you make a fool of yourself.
@@nicholasdouglas7080 we call them star tops here. Its sad you don't receive enough hugs wherever you call home. Practice in a mirror, might help you chubs.
They work remarkable don’t know what took me so long to hook one up. I and my wife love it.
Funny guy, I enjoyed your review of this product.
I was looking for a male’s perspective since I have two boys. Not that it’d matter since we all sit when we shit anyway. But it’s still good to hear what men think. Your kids are super cute! Hilarious video!
Thank you SO much! Glad we can help!
The parks and req blooper is one of the main reasons why I want to get one of these.
I’ve been trying to figure out how to word this the cleanest…. What are the results concerning “twig and berries” splashback? Spraying the “dirt” in that direction seems like there would be innocent casualties with regards to the hangers
Whats up Nick. Can i get a 2 year update? I'n really looking into one if these. Any other issues after fixing that disconnected piece?
i installed one of these but another brand about a year ago from Wlamart. Cost was less than $30. and I have paid for it several times over in TP savings. When I do the next one I plan on installing a Y Valve to allow hot and cold =warm water. That would make it really great.
I was at Home Depot yesterday and saw something similar to the Tushy, only $60 and it had the temperature control, I feel cheated lol
The control boxes leaking is a common return issue. Also the internal parts that move the nozzle back, and forth, they fail as well.... if you can receive a good one, you should be alright. Little too pricey for what you’re getting....
I agree on the price point and the integrity of the internal parts. It's an ok product but I was expecting a little more on the quality for the price!
Thanks for the comment!
@@TheScrambledLife agreed
@@TheScrambledLife You're paying for all that cutsie marketing. The Tushy brand seems to be the rage in America lately. I likely paid less for my hot/cold water line one, sans the witty marketing.
@@saintejeannedarc9460 well I gotta be honest. When I produced this video I didn't have a handyman DIY bone in my body. Currently, for my other bathrooms, I created a bidet out of a garden hose, plumbing fixtures, and old school curse words and elbow grease
Thank you vary much, with what's going on this is a life saver 🙏🙏🙏
Definitely!!!! Thank you for taking time to watch! Hope it helps especially during these crazy times!
I’m 23 and half way through my first pregnancy, and my husband works nights. I was able to figure out the install pretty quickly! I only got upset and had to step out once 🤣
I like the Neo brand better. Bought and used more than 5 of them over the years and almost no leaks, if any during installation.
i'll keep that in mind when we add one to our basement bathroom! Thanks for commenting
Always get a hot and cold. You'd have to live in a pretty warm climate for cold water to be enough to not shock your dirty bits. Besides the shock (or even pain of it if you're in Canada where a hot water line is a must have), warm water gets you much cleaner than cold.
I like the fact that I can shock the dirty bits......I am Finnish
Nothing beats the bona fide standalone ceramic bidet with hot/cold handles
was lucky enough to have that experience in Europe once! would definitely want to get one of these EVENTUALLY (when the money right lol)
@@TheScrambledLife A hot/cold bidet attachment isn't expensive though. You probably paid more for that Tushy, name brand attachment w/ only cold, than I paid for a hot/cold. I paid $45 Canadian, and really couldn't get by w/ just a cold up here anyway. I think it was about $10 more than the cheaper cold line only. Would be downright painful trying to use cold in our winters.
Sainte Jeanne d'Arc What brand did you get?
@@etamlous I got Living Basics. It's been great. The directions suck though. I had to troll the comments to find how to operate the bidet and the secret missing direction is pull the handle up to open the water lines.
Tushy's have been "backed up" lately. Finally got mine today and will install. Kind of looks like a pain in the ass to install :)
it wasn't so bad......how'd it go with the install?
It's like two tools.
@@RotGodKing its a joke
@@RotGodKing r/whoosh
Saw another Tushy install and on the other one they had a hot water line from the sink that attached to the Tushy.
Yeah I think they may have upgraded since I got mine. Cold water isn't so bad, you get used to it. It's also helpful after you've eaten some SPICY food ughhhhh
I would like to know how far from toilet controls sit. My cabinet is close to toilet.
The statement about "killing trees" is uttered from a position of ignorance. All paper companies run their own tree farms. I work security at a major lumber company. What I have learned is how responsible these companies are. They plant more trees than they harvest. If it was opposite they would cut themselves out of business. In my state of Washington, the timber companies have to get permits to harvest their own trees they have grown on their own property. The fact is that a significant amount of toilet paper is made from recycled paper. Again being environmentally conscious.
thank you for that insight about how toilet paper industry works.
but it's not ignorant to say a tree dies for your butt
Thank you for posting a video of the inside of the device!!! It's so cool (and useful!) that you did that! I know you were joking about the Amazon guy tossing the package, but--seriously--this is the kind of quality control issue that makes me very nervous about considering installing a device like this. What some people don't realize is that once you install a device like this and turn on the water source, water pressure ALWAYS will be fed into this $79 product. How much testing has the valve used by this Tushy-branded product been through? Any failure of the valve could cause water to leak at the control box or to spray far enough from the spray head that the bathroom floor gets wet. Now imagine that you are away on vacation when this happens--or even at work or asleep. Depending on how bad the leak is, you could face expensive water damage. I think anyone who installs this would be crazy not to buy a supply line that has an automatic excess flow shut-off valve, such as the SafeFlow brand sold at Home Depot--although those only will work if the leak is sudden and when a lot of water flows (such as when a pipe bursts). Of course, all plumbing requires trustworthy values, so you would hope the valve on this product is designed to last and is of commercial quality, but the fact that its internal hose became detached (as your video shows) is of great concern. Aside from that, other useful posters here mentioned the strange angle of the toilet seat, how the seat hardware might be too short, etc. This is the first bidet product I've studied so far, but I'm just not sure that the quality is up to my comfort level. I'd be curious to know how many owners have experienced all-out-leaks or even trickle-leaks from this unit...
I had the same problem. The female end of the flexible hose has to clamp down on plastic or nylon threads, & fails badly. I even used Teflon tape, but it still leaked. Luckly I was able to get my money back. Lesson Learned.
Great review! The only thing keeping me from buying it is the fear that someone will use it when they have the runs and it splash’s all under it.... much love from California
LOL thank you!
Yes I can say it will get messy with that form of Bowel movement, there is other options, like a hand held sprayer but that could also get kind of messy.
Thanks for watching!
Honestly at that point just head into the shower
Great video! Informative and funny, also liked seeing your kids get into the picture when they could lol. How is it that you have fewer than 200 subscribers? I had guessed it would be at least 10K when I was viewing and before I checked your channel info.
LOL thank you very much for the compliment!
Unfortunately I just lack the time to release regular content! Once I get some time back, I'll be making the push to bring some more, funny, useful stuff for Dad's and families to live a more wholesome, (new) old fashion lives.
I LOVE mine but the water supply line that comes with is way longer than needed, hard to tuck away to not be seen
They sell a little water pressure attachment that is supposed to help if it is ripping fast. I'm not sure if you have already tried that out. Also, do you still have this product installed? How do you like it so far? Great video!
HEY great name!
I have not and to be honest, I don't mind the high pressure feels even cleaner if you know what i mean!
I still have it installed and use it daily, regardless of the brand or technicals of the Tushy brand, I feel like we've saved so much money not buying toilet paper and I feel so much "cleaner". When I'm out in public/work and I gotta do number 2, I just don't feel as clean so first thing I do when I get home is get on the toilet and clean'er up.
Thanks for watching!
I have a wall close to the right side of my toilet. Can I switch the knob part of the bidet to the left side of my toilet , where i have more space, or does it need to be on the right side where the water line is? Thank you.
Ok after taking a look at my unit it doesn't look like the knob can be switched to the other side. If you take a look at where the tushy unit actually connects to the toilet you can move it more to the left to give you more space. Hope this helps
What invention could replace toilet paper?The bidet with vertical jet. Its strictly
targeting water stream reduces the needed water amount and so the drying t.
paper and also the disagreeable cold feeling, so the warm water is not
necessary. Simple, durable and cheap (from $14). Unsurpassed effectivity.
i like the cold, especially after a long night of 911 spicy hot wings...........toilet paper gets stuck too
You turned the water valve on too high is the reason it leaks. They are all plastics and will not take high pressure too well.
I have a Tussy bidet & when I just cracked the water a little, it leaked like a sieve. Metal fittings should not be with metal fittings, not plastic or nylon. It's a bad mix. Got a refund.
Is the cold water not annoying?
that's a great question.
it is a little jarring at first but you get used to it
I am one of those weirdos who finish with a cold shower every morning, been doing it for years
people look at me crazy already, then i tell them that haha
Mine was missing instructions. I never saw where you used the pipe tape. And does the toilet seat sit flat anymore? Seems like that would put stress on the bolts.
Hey thanks for the comment!
You know now that you brought that up I definitely did NOT add Teflon tape, that's an error I made. I do not recall seeing that in the instructions. If I were you, I'd give them a call and explain you didn't receive instructions, I'm sure they'll do something for you.
When I sit on it it does feel even, as far as the stress on the bolts, as long as your just a normal bowel movement type person, it shouldn't stress the bolts at all. But if your a mover and shaker, it may wear but it'll take some years for the wear.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
you can add a bumper underneath the seat to slightly raise it.
@@th3jazzy We could stand to get bumpers too. Our seat is flexible plastic, so it's not a big deal. Some bidets come w/ the bumpers for the seat.
Do you have to towel off afterwards?
How do you use cold water in winter 🥶? If you go to the bidet route, water has to be warm when it’s 30 outside.
cold=good..........I am Finnish
Thanks Jake Gyllenhaal!
Is the water too cold in winter?
the water is always cold my friend lol!
@@TheScrambledLife lol 😆
Another video that does not show water coming out of nozzle? Isn't that just basic negligence?
Doesn't the seat wobble if it's raised above the main base?
8:08 i sacrificed having to spend 5 min to clean up the water spill for that shot.
I think you can make your own for probably half as much just going to home depot
Yeah, I think at the time I got caught up in the hype. Home Depot actually has one in a similar style where you can change the temp of the water and it's like $20 cheaper than the Tushy :/
@@TheScrambledLife Do a review on that one! what's it called do you remember?
@@asaid25 OH MAN! Matter of fact, we are working on our basement and I'm putting a bathroom in, give me an excuse to buy another bidet! I forgot the name but it's right down the toilet aisle
I honestly can't figure out why people can't just go in the morning before they get in the shower.
You're still supposed to use a small ammount of paper to dry off, and collect any residue.
YES! Great point and thank you for bringing that up!
STILL GOTTA WIPE!
@@TheScrambledLife Some cultures you don't wipe, you air dry. You'll find douchette's in France with no TP at all. Yes weird.
@@harvard004 my time in the middle east, hole in floor and sprayer hose, I had a very confused bowel movement
@@TheScrambledLife i can't fathom wiping with left hand.
@@harvard004 me neither LOL
Will this work if you have a toilet seat that has metal brackets.
possibly
Thanks John Krasinski!
most people dont wash! 😆 true! nice product i just do it the what i call the indian way! i use a yogurt container then wipe up with toilet paper!
Lol great video.
thank you. it was fun to make
Wouldn’t it be little strange in beginning to notice if your butt is clean or not if you use tushy for first time
( I mean if you are using toilet papers from years …)
Great video! What movie ?? 🤣 Same!
I just ordered one because the Tushy video makes it look like it's installed in seconds.
LOL the beauty of video editing. It's really not that hard. don't forget the teflon tape like I did
No wonder it’s leaking everywhere! Where does the teflon tape go?
@@divaandchomin1 it should go around the threads of the t-joint, anywhere you see the "male" threads you should wrap some teflon tape around it
Just make sure you have a toilet seat with basic hinges that can tolerate a downward angle after you install the Tushy.
My toilet seat is a Kohler with a "soft close" hinge feature. Guess what? That style has a drop lip on the back of the toilet seat opening that smashes into the top edge of the Tushy bidet. I also have another toilet that uses a Bemis toilet seat with the same "soft close" type of hinge. GUESS WHAT? That one also hits the Tushy when you put the damn toilet seat down! (I know, because I pulled the Bemis seat off the other toilet to try it out.)
And when I go to the Tushy help page for this problem? A) They recommend I might try buying a package of ONE HUNDRED nylon spacers (www.amazon.com/dp/B000FMWULK/ref=biss_dp_t_asn) that is out of stock and they have no idea when they may get more. B) They recommend I buy another Kohler toilet seat www.us.kohler.com/us/Stonewood-elongated-toilet-seat/productDetail/toilet-seats/424429.htm?skuId=391767&brandId=431492 GUESS WHAT? Look at this particular toilet seat and you can tell from the freaking picture on the Kohler web page that is isn't going to work with a freaking Tushy either!
Bottom Line: Yes, apparently you can install a Tushy in 15 minutes IF you don't mind not having a freaking toilet seat on your toilet. Until you find one at Home Depot/Lowes/Ace Hardware and then come back home and.....oh, never mind.
Ya I just the shower it's warm cold water up the butt is shocking
it'll wake ya up! lol
Lmao I just came to see if I want the only one that said it hurts.
Isn't that cold tho?
it is. but you get used to it eventually. especially if you enjoy spicy food.
Great video, thanks for the info man!! 😁👌
Definitely! Thanks for watching!
6:54 - Face all up in that germy toilet space.*
haha! it's a crappy job! BOOM DAD JOKE
Always test before you bolt down.
I rather wash my butt with warm water, so I installed an extra shower hose to my basin.
the cold was definitely jarring the first time but you get used to it eventually, but thats a great idea!!!
They have a warm-water version on their website. Looks like a second hose is hooked to the hot water from a sink, so you can adjust the temperature.
You don't need to shut off main water, dude. Just turn it off at the toilet.
the shut off valve on the toilet was pretty worn. didn't want to risk it breaking at the time
Isn't this just a jet spray?
Such barbarians 😄😄
YES!!!!! My booty has never been cleaner
My God this man is so beautiful 🥰
Those blue eyes 😍
You Are hilarious.
well thank you very much! just trying to spread laughter as it's the best therapy!
Guess no one knows how to use Teflon tape......
Top knots are the dingleberries of your head...
HAHA! Thank god I cut it off. Looking back at this video makes me cringe with the hair. I look normal now

I think the video would have been better if the guy was balding , smoking a stubby cigar and weighed 300 lbs
LMAO I'm on my way there
He's hot
Wear some gloves
wear a mask
First 2 and 1/2 minutes a total total waste!
in your opinion...........should of turned it off earlier genius
