Four years after the toilet paper shortage of 2020, bidet converts say they’re never going back

While the toilet paper shortages that hit the United States during pandemic lockdowns in the spring of 2020 ultimately eased up, they’ve had a lasting impact on one industry: the bidet business.

“The industry here in the U.S. just blew up. You couldn’t get a bidet if you wanted to,” says James Lin, founder of BidetKing.com, an online marketplace for all varieties of the bathroom appliance. “We all sold out. … There was a huge scramble to get more.”

      The one I bought mailed me an extra pressure valve for free. Also who needs the pressure valve? Go full bore for that salad tossable freshness

      Mine did too, but it was either off or ON!

        I just partly closed the water supply valve to turn pressure down. Toilet fills a bit slower but no biggie.
