Best Hand Held Bidets in 2019

Walk inside of a bathroom in most areas of Asia, Europe and South America, and it’s pretty much a given that a bidet will be available for use. But in America, where toilet seat covers are far more common than a bidet on a toilet seat or a hand held bidet, it may be mistaken as just another way to clean the bathroom. For bidet users though, they’ll immediately recognize what makes the best hand held bidets. The nozzles effectively aim at the rear and feminine wash areas. They retract and clean as needed. And they should be pretty simple to use.

Eco-friendly customers may be intrigued into helping to avoid adding to the 36.5 billion rolls of toilet paper wasted annually. But for first-timers (environmentally friendly or not) who aren’t quite sure how to install a hand bidet sprayer or a toilet seat with a bidet, this can either be a simple do-it-yourself (DIY) project or a nightmare plumbing job that makes you want to go back to a simple toilet seat. Bidet manufacturers know this, too, so they’re trying to make it easier for more potential consumers to get on board.

One overall agreement, regardless of which hand-held bidet is chosen, is to turn the water pressure off after each use. This helps avoid potential flooding from water leaks or damage if the hand-held bidet is misused or twisted too hard. If your bathroom has a floor drain that makes water leaks easily to drain out, this may not be as much of a concern.

Best Hand Held Bidets

1. Joyway Bidet Toilet Sprayer Set-Handheld Bidet Sprayer Kit

Bidets have made quite the transformation. In the 1700s, the original bidet was documented as a porcelain bowl placed inside of a wooden stand or chair that was found in bedrooms. A fan favorite for everybody from mistresses to Napoleon to brothels, it was upgraded in the 18th century to include a water pump and tank. Indoor plumbing transitioned bidets into bedrooms. But with bidets making the transition to indoor plumbing, Joseph Gayetty’s toilet tissue invention was also introduced in 1857. For some groups, bidets remained. For others, toilet tissue won out.

Key Features

• Stainless steel sprayer and hose (Head, brass, T-valve)
• Rustproof
• Anti-corrosion

This all-in-one bidet set contains a sprayer head; adjustable bidet diverter (three-way T-valve often used for rim wash and vertical spray); stainless steel hose; holster and hook.

Cons

• Only compatible with 7/8-inch toilet (not ½-inch or ⅜-inch)
• Suitable for United States and Canada style bathrooms only, not universal for Europe or other countries

If this bidet set is not for you, the U.S. registered brand is 100 percent quality guaranteed and has a 100 percent money-back guarantee.

2. SmarterFresh Hand Held Bidet Sprayer

One of the most handy reasons to use a hand-held bidet sprayer is that it has multiple uses: its original use (i.e., shattaf); to clean baby cloth diapers in a toilet (reducing waste that would normally end up in trash cans, sinks, bathtubs); or to help clean your four-legged friends in harder-to-clean areas.

Key Features

• Premium stainless steel (sprayer head and toilet hook holder)
• Gentle rinse or jet spray settings
• PEX inner tube

This sprayer set also includes a brass T-valve adapter, brass wall mount holder and brass hook holder. The 301 stainless steel outer area of the bidet hose is anti-twist with brass nuts.

Cons

• Flexible toilet connector (estimated at $5) may be required for additional purchase
• Several bidet attachment reviews reported leaking
• Additional bidet attachment reviews mentioned not being thrilled with turning off the water supply each time

There is a one-year warranty for this bidet set. The manufacturer also confirms that it will not be held responsible for consumers who do not turn off the water pressure and risk leakage.

3. RinseWorks – Aquaus 360 Patented Hand Held Bidet

“People who use bidets are much less likely to have issues with rashes and discomfort and irritation,” according to Alan Kamrava, M.D., a California-based colorectal and general surgeon, via a Self interview. Constantly using rough toilet paper and wipes may get the job done, but it may also have the kind of downsides that Dr. Kamrava mentioned.

Key Features

• Patented ABS polymer sprayer
• Brass T-connector and ball valve
• Three interchangeable spray plates

In addition to being able to switch out the spray plates as needed, this bidet set also includes a 54-inch stainless steel hose to accommodate various heights and builds.The solid brass hose nuts and double crimps on both ends are both sturdy and intended to prevent leakage, along with an NSF certified brass EZ-Reach shut-off valve. Although the instructions say that this sprayer attaches without tools or the help of a plumber, keep a sturdy wrench nearby just in case.

This sprayer set promises high-strength, impact-resistant, corrosion-free ABS polymers and ceramic disk seals to avoid rust and leakage. According to the manufacturer, after running the hose over with an 8000 lb. truck, it still didn’t leak and the sprayer worked. But with that said, this NSF-certified set has a three-year limited warranty if something goes wrong.

4. Abedoe Hand Held Bidet Toilet Sprayer Kit

If DIY plumbing is not your cup of tea, specifically for first-time users, it is highly recommended to check the manufacturer’s website for installation directions.

6. SmarterFresh Faucet Sprayer Warm Water Bidet

Depending on who’s asked, the freshwater temperature is either startling and a deal-breaker or you get used to the cool water. If you want to test out whether you can deal with the temperature, try washing off with the immediate temperature coming from your sink. If that is too cold, invest in a hand held bidet with hot, warm and cold water options. This particular sprayer attaches directly to the sink to avoid an additional T-valve needed to connect from the sink hot water to the toilet.

Key Features

• Hot and cold water options for cleaning and rinsing
• Premium brass faucet diverter with removable aerator
• Male-threaded adapter for sink connection

While the 86-inch stainless steel hose may be mounted to the wall or the toilet, the sink faucet can still be used per usual. Unlike electric and non-electric toilet seat bidets, the hose coming from the sink may help warm temperature release faster than the water supply from your toilet.

Cons

• Not compatible with sinks that do not have a removable aerator
• One verified reviewer could not get the bidet to fit on seven different sinks; adapter needed

If the faucet diverter or adapter does not fit your sink or toilet, contact the Amazon seller for a free alternate option. The hose is not meant for outside use.

Leaks are a common complaint for hand-held bidets.

Bottom Line

From the 12 options above, you may still be wondering why you should invest in a hand held bidet versus a traditional bidet that you sit on. For some, a hand-held version may be easier to use. Depending on the aim of a bidet toilet seat, users may find themselves wiggling around more than being cleaned in the nether regions. An ideal bidet toilet seat will be on the mark. But considering a variation in body shapes, on one nozzle is built for all. A hand-held bidet removes this factor altogether. You can point and aim wherever is needed. With a hand-held bidet, there is no need to invest in a feminine wash versus a bidet (rear) wash. You can avoid the worry about whether one won’t work. The hose goes wherever you want it to and retracts back into its place once you are done with the restroom. While there are no right or wrong answers for which one is better, just find a bidet that works best for you and your family.
