Best Bidet Toilet Seats for Constipation in 2024
Being constipated is no fun. In fact chronic constipation, and constipation in general, can have a number of negative health impacts such as:
There are many things that can be done (besides taking conventional laxatives) to relieve constipation:
- Drink water (lots)
- Eat fiber (lots)
- Prunes or prune juice
- Have a coffee (not a long-term solution)
- Diet rich in magnesium
- Probiotics
- Exercise
- Herbal laxatives
- Castor oil packs
- Enema
Can a bidet seat help with constipation? The answer is YES! A bidet can stimulate the poop reflex if it comes with an enema function.
There are bidet toilet seats with an enema function that help to provide relief by spraying a strong narrow jet of water from the bidet seat's nozzle into the anus, introducing water into the rectum and colon, and creating an urgent need to poop. Note that this is not a true enema, as a real enema uses a syringe that is inserted directly into the rectum.
In the case of a bidet enema the bidet nozzle never actually makes direct contact, only the water jet. You will just need to use the bidet seat's nozzle adjustment function to get the right position and the right water temperature (warm, not hot is best). Then try to relax and let the enema function do its job.
Our 2024 top pick bidet seats with enema function are:
1. Ultra-Nova
The Ultra-Nova is new as of December 2023, and is our top luxury bidet seat that features a powerful enema wash setting. The Sitz Bath (hot/cold) massage setting can feel soothing for a variety of conditions, including constipation, post-partum and hemorrhoids. The Ultra-Nova is also now the slimmest bidet seat on the market measuring only 3.66" in height at the back. The Ultra-Nova has a sittable lid up to 400 lbs (very rare) and an auto-open/close feature. The Ultra-Nova+ is an upgraded version with auto-flush (works with top-flush toilets only) for a touchless experience. Elongated size only.
This wildly popular luxury bidet toilet seat has a patented Vortex Wash that behaves like an enema by shooting a strong, swirling spray that stimulates and penetrates the rectum and gets you to poop quickly and easily. There is also a pulsing and oscillating function that can further assist with constipation in a gentle yet effective way. Relief at last!
The Bio Bidet Bliss BB-2000 bidet seat fits both elongated and round toilets.

4. Clean Sense DIB-1500 series:
The Clean Sense DIB-1500 series has been around for a number of years and has developed quite a following, mostly due to its great price. The Clean Sense DIB-1500 has a decent enema function, although not as effective as the powerful Bio Bidet Bliss BB-2000 and the Ultra Nova bidet toilet seats. It has a tankless on-demand heating system and is therefore very energy smart. It comes with a wide array of features, including "child mode". Available in both remote control and side-panel control versions for elongated and round toilets.
