Bum Rush
According to the CDC, the average person leaves a
little something behind—0.14 grams of something—
when they wipe. There’s an appliance for that.

Relieve yourself
from uncomfort-
able contortions
with Kohler’s
heated bidet. The
handheld remote
(not shown) lets
you create two
custom settings for
temperature, angle,
and water pres-
sure. At this kingly
price, the throne
also has a quiet-
close lid, a stain-
less steel nozzle
that self-sterilizes
with UV light, and
an LED night-light
that gives the bowl
a welcoming glow.
Yes, you need to
plug this one in.

Toto’s bidets are
reliable, priced
fairly, and easy to
use—you may have
encountered the
Japanese brand’s
rear wipers in fancy
sushi restaurants.
A side module has
controls for angle,
water temperature,
and pressure of the
aerated flow. Plus,
the seat is heated
to make chilly win-
ter mornings a bit
less bracing. This
one requires an
electrical outlet too.

TOTO WASHLET

Even the least handy homeowner can install this simple spritzer
in minutes. The Tushy fits under any existing toilet seat and
works with the most basic plumbing connection and no electri-
cal wiring. A console on the side lets you adjust both the noz-
zle angle and the water pressure—alas, not temperature, so the
water will stay refreshingly brisk.
