Real stories.

  • Since giving birth to her first child 14 years ago, Fiona has to manage mild symptoms of faecal incontinence. The symptoms were never severe enough that Fiona felt she should have surgery to repair the damage, but her outer sphincter muscle does not completely close, even after years of pelvic exercises. A stream of water into the orifice gives Fiona a complete feeling of cleanliness and greatly enhances her confidence.

  • Rita is 83 and lives at home. She lives independently but receives ongoing care provided by family and other health professionals in her home. Rita has an internal haemorrhoid that sometimes bleeds, especially if she strains during a bowel movement. Her GP has looked at it several times, and has prescribed dietary supplements and creams. Meanwhile, Rita has found that if she lightly irrigates the lesion with cool bidet water for several minutes, the haemorrhoid pain is reduced. Additionally, she can pat dry without any abrasive action, significantly reducing discomfort.

  • While playfully throwing honky nuts at his two sons, Chris struck a doorframe with his dominant hand, fracturing the metacarpal bone. The pain was extreme and range of motion become very limited. Fortunately, his Goodtoilet bidet had been set up for left-hand use, so his toileting was not affected. However, even if this weren’t the case, Goodtoilet bidet is designed to flip for either left or right-hand use, so he would’ve been fine either way. He still needed help buttoning his shirts though…

  • As cultural practice, Vijian always cleansed with fresh water after toileting. This involved a bucket of fresh water and cleansing cloth being placed adjacent to the toilet. When Vijian’s daughter began dating an Aussie boy, he didn’t want the boyfriend to feel confused if he required to go to the toilet. Vijian replaced the bucket with a Goodtoilet bidet and was delighted with the change. The floor was unhindered by the presence of the bucket, and Vijian discovered that washing became easier and cleaner with much less fuss.

  • Sarah had two children aged two and four. Her eldest, Lincoln, was toileting independently but would call to Sarah to wipe him up when he was done. As an experiment, Sarah introduced a Goodtoilet bidet. Lincoln took to it like a duck to water. He enjoyed cleaning himself and with little effort could pat himself dry. After a few inspections, Sarah was satisfied that Lincoln was completely clean. Both children are now used to water assisted toileting and Sarah has freed up valuable time whilst knowing that her children are completely clean.

About the benefits.

  • The benefits of water-assisted toileting have been recognised around the world for thousands of years.

    Gentle washing with plain water after defecation/urination, during your period or after sex is an effective way to remove fecal matter, or other biota that may remain is situ on the surface.

    Water-assisted washing does not damage the sensitive oil-skin barrier and reduces the need for the abrasive rubbing action of non-water cleaning methods.

    Where age, infirmity or injury may reduce a person’s capacity to thoroughly care for themselves, the addition of H2O irrigation can be of great assistance.

    Fecal matter being left behind in the lower rectum after evacuation is very common. This occurrence can be caused by extended periods of inactivity, poor hydration, little exercise, inadequate diet or simply not allowing enough time on the toilet. Bidet irrigation whilst the anal sphincter is relaxed can be extremely useful to rinse this detritus away.

  • Toilet paper is made from raw wood fibres or from a combination of recycled paper pulp mixed in water with chemical sulphates. Once these chemicals break it down, starches are used to create “wet durability”, and more chemicals are used to make it white. From deforestation to chemical use, and the tonnes of water required in production, toilet paper manufacturing is not an environmentally-friendly process.

    Like all bidets, Good toilet bidet is a water-assisted cleaning system. This replaces the need for excessive single-use toilet tissue, and goes some way to alleviate the relentless industry-driven demand for forest-grown wood pulp.

  • Bidets can be used in one or all of three ways: Superficially, Therapeutically, or Internally.

    Superficial use involves the addition of water for a short or prolonged period, to rinse surface material from the bottom and anal areas. It can be done in conjunction with toilet paper, and may involve rinsing and wiping a couple of times to obtain a thorough clean.

    Therapeutic use of a bidet occurs as a low pressure water stream is applied in order to relieve pain or discomfort. This may typically be in a situation where a hemorrhoid that is too sensitive to the touch of toilet paper, in which case the bidet may also be used for superficial cleaning, as well as for relief from discomfort.

    Internal cleaning entails the rinsing of the rectum of retained waste after defecation. The technique usually requires increasing the water pressure to receive water into the cavity, then cutting the water pressure at the same time forcing water from the rectum by tensing the stomach muscles, in order to flush. With time the user can become quite masterful in their practice of relaxing their sphincter sufficiently in order to obtain their desired results. Note that internal irrigation is not usually possible for those that suffer any sensitivity around the anus due to illness or injury.

“I can't live without the bidet now...

Being a middle-aged Australian male, I never thought I would say this, but I can't live without the bidet now. I just don't feel right if I have to use a bathroom without one. I've ordered three for our toilets at work!”

About the product.

  • Goodtoilet bidet is designed to be “universally compatible” with all toilets — but, there are some limitations. To be sure your toilet is compatible, you must answer yes to the following questions:

    Can I see the toilet tap? If the toilet tap is not visible, the bidet cannot be installed.

    Will my toilet seat sit flat once the bidet is installed? The height of the bidet mounting plate is less than 4mm and most toilet seats will be fine. However, a toilet seat that does not sit flat on the pan is not a satisfactory outcome. You can place a piece of cardboard of similar thickness under the toilet seat to check whether this is the case. Compatible low-cost toilet seats are available from hardware and plumbing stores.

    Check out our compatibility video here.

  • Yes. The fitting size is 1/2 inch BSPP (British Standard Pipe Parallel) [G1/2] thread form: Major diameter 20.955mm (approx.≈ 20.5mm). This fitting size is common in most countries including Australia and New Zealand.

  • Your Goodtoilet bidet will come with easy-to-follow instructions that guide you through the toilet attachment process. As an overview, the bidet attaches to the toilet pan by the use of low profile polypropylene reclosable fasteners that allow the bidet to be lifted off to clean the toilet. The lifecycle of the fastener is rated at 150 closures before loss of 50% of original strength.

    The contact surfaces on the toilet and the underside of the bidet are first primed by rubbing a small pad of silane coupling agent. This reduces the ability of moisture to undercut the bond and stabilises adhesion. The fasteners are snapped together to secure the bidet. To remove the fasteners, use a dull knife to peel from underneath. Any residue of coupling agent is removed by wiping the toilet surface with denatured alcohol (methylated spirits).

    See our attachment video here and another video here.

    See our removal video here.

    The frequency with which the bidet is snapped/and unsnapped from the toilet rim does speed up the wear on the fasteners. We would also encourage allowing the fasteners to dry after cleaning underneath the bidet, before snapping them back into place. In the past, we have replaced fasteners after 2 years use, and others cases have been in use for over 3 years and still going strong. Estimating wear time is therefore difficult.

    Low cost replacement Attachment packs are available.

  • No. Utilising the toilet’s existing cold-water inlet, the bidet operates by hydro-mechanical action and is non-electric. You’ll still be able to use the bidet if you have a power outage.

  • Assuming standard household water pressure, the bidet is rated at 2.7 litres per minute in the fully open position. Exactly how much is used is determined by the pressure you allow, how long you use it for each time, how many people are in your household, and how many toilet trips are made each day by those people.

  • Detach the bidet by pulling it away from its fixings. Clean the toilet rim and underside of the bidet as you ordinarily would. Set the bidet aside for a while to allow the fasteners to dry. Allowing the fasteners to dry before re-attaching the bidet will extend the life of the fasteners.

  • We have had limited success adapting the bidet to the various toilet seat raisers currently available and found no easy solution. As a result, we’re working to produce a toilet seat raiser that incorporates Goodtoilet bidet. Stay tuned!

  • A licensed plumber is the correct person to make sure the installation is sound and compliant with local regulatory standards.

  • Yes, Goodtoilet bidet comes with a two-year warranty. This exceeds the standard 12-month warranty offered by most bidet companies.

  • For a limited time to celebrate the opening of our online store, we are delighted to offer free standard shipping Australia wide and also offer discounted Aust Post Express shipping.

About left and right-hand use.

  • Goodtoilet bidet comes bundled with a 60cm stainless steel flexi hose that is unlikely to be long enough to reach around to the opposite side of the toilet from the toilet tap. This limitation requires that the bidet handle be on the same side as the toilet tap. Each bidet is factory adjusted for either left hand or right-hand use — you just need to select which side you need when you add the bidet to your online shopping cart.

  • The “side” is determined when sitting on the toilet, not when standing facing the toilet. So, when you’re seated on the toilet, is the toilet tap on your left side or your right side?

  • If you need to change the side the bidet handle is on, the bidet can be converted by hand and with a Phillips screwdriver. A longer flexi-hose may be required to reinstate water flow once the bidet handle is on the opposite side to the toilet tap. Longer flexi-hoses are readily available from hardware and plumbing stores.
