I honestly had no idea when I installed my Tushy, how much it would be needed and appreciated.
This post will discuss butts and poop. How scandalous!
When Chad and I were in Europe (almost 10 years ago). We were very fond of the bidets in our hotels. Chad to this day still likes to tell the story about how the hotel gave us the whitest towel you could ever ask for to dab your bum dry. When we remodeled our master bathroom, we considered adding a bidet, but extra everything, space, more plumbing, and more cost. It was scratched.
I called this original master bathroom, Blanche Devereaux. I say this because the 1993 color palatte and brass fixtures made me think Blanche might have liked it. Thanks to Jason Anderson at Concept Design Construction for helping us transform this master bathroom! All this work, no bidet, but a wonderful new bathroom.
Fast forward a few years and Chad finds Tushy. Yay! Bidet!
Tushy is a startup out of Brooklyn. They created an efficient system for your home toilet pooping and cleaning your butt experience. A Poo Partner, a Bum Scrubber, a Booty Cleaner, a Butt Buddy or a Butt Washer! Basically, they created accessories for your toilet when you need to go to the loo and poo.
Our experience started with the Tushy Ottoman.
Many years ago, I noticed Chad’s Sister, Rebecca always had a little “step stool” she kept next to the toilet. It helps her do her #2 and it is better for you. She could have made millions! Dammit! We could be secluded in a private luxury bunker somewhere… too soon? Just put your feet up and your body is more naturally positioned for your poo to make its exit.
Now onto the Tushy Spa.
This model allows you to connect a hot and cold water line to warm up your experience. The Tushy Classic is just a cold water line. You can also use the Tushy Spa as cold only if you cannot hook up the hot water line right away. This is our current situation. It will take some extra work to install the hot water line. So for now, it is just cold. It sure helps to wake you up in the morning!
Here is what comes in the box.
First Thoughts; Sleek. Well thought through. Efficiently Packaged. Clear Instructions. Minimal Tools. I can do this.
I just needed a vice grip and a screwdriver. It comes will all the connections, hoses, and even teflon tape. Of course, I also chose a toilet which hides all the screws inside. This means, I needed to get extra close and intimate with my toilet. First step, ensure you clean the toilet well and all around it. Turn off the water, flush the toilet, and follow the directions. This model of toilet, I had to reach around the back to unscrew the toilet seat bolts and the water line. It took me about an hour to install just the cold water line and put it all together (Big man, little spaces).
Tushy did not provide or pay me anything for this review. This post is my own opinion and experience. Recent worldly events have actually caused Tushy to currently be on backorder. They promise they are hard at work making more Tushy products for the world.
My next steps, I plan to connect the hot water line to warm up my buns.
