TUSHY Ace 2.0 Electric Bidet Seat

Description

For some people, the worst part of a flare is the bathroom. Hemorrhoids, fissures, a sore area after childbirth or surgery: dry paper can make every visit sting. A bidet seat swaps wiping for a wash, and the TUSHY Ace 2.0 adds warmth to the whole routine.

What it changes

Ace replaces your existing toilet seat. Tap water is heated inside the unit, so there’s no tank to run out of warm water. A remote with touch controls gives five settings each for water temperature (up to 107.6°F), water pressure, seat warmth and the warm-air dryer. Double-tap the pressure control for an oscillating spray. The front and rear spray cover a wider angle than the previous model. A warm-air dryer helps if twisting or reaching is hard for you.

The stainless steel nozzle rinses itself before and after use and tucks away. A seat sensor means it only runs when someone is seated. There’s also a soft-close lid and an Eco Mode.

Will it fit your bathroom?

• Round bowls only. Measure from the seat bolt holes to the front of the bowl; under 18.5 in means round. It won’t fit French Curve toilets.
• Check there is room between the seat and the tank.
• You need a grounded 3-prong GFCI outlet within 3 feet of the toilet. If you don’t have one, an electrician may need to add it.
• Water pressure of 40 to 55 psi, and a seat weight limit of 330 lb.

TUSHY says installation takes about 10 minutes without a plumber. The box includes the mounting kit, hose, tank adapter, remote with AAA batteries and a magnetic wall mount. There’s a 1-year limited warranty, and it’s HSA/FSA eligible.

A word on pain

If you have ongoing rectal pain, any bleeding, or a recent procedure, check with a clinician before using a pressurized water spray. Bleeding always deserves a doctor’s look.

The free Pain Check-Up can help you put words to what you’re feeling before an appointment. People in the abdominal and digestive pain groups talk openly about this stuff too.
