Diaper Sprayer/ Bidet

Since our little sunshine started solid foods, a diaper sprayer for the toilet was high up on my want list :)
We found a great link for a DIY diaper sprayer here, but after looking at it and several other DIY options (along with reviews of those who tried them) and decided it was worth the extra $10 to just buy one.  I'm sure it works great for some people, but this is one of those times we decided to just spend the extra money to save us some time.  So we picked one up.  They have it on Amazon as well as local home improvement stores.  We found ours at Home Depot for about $40.

Mini-Shower - Bidet & Multi-Use Hand Held Sprayer 

It has great instructions that come with it.  Just follow those.  However, we did have to do one additional step.  It says to make sure you have a flexible supply line leading into the toilet.  Ours wasn't.  


We actually had to go up a couple sizes in the flexible supply line.  They didn't have any short enough, so we had to go extra long so we could make a loop as seen below.

It was a pretty simple switch, just unscrewing and screwing the new one on. Just make sure you turn off your water and then flush to empty the toilet basin, but have rags ready to clean up the little that is there!

It has a shut off valve to the sprayer so that helps with the whole worry that the kids will discover they have a never ending water gun!

Just make sure you face it the right way! When my hubby tested it out he had it pointed at the ceiling!  That's a big spot for being 10 feet away!
