When I bought my house I replaced all 3 toilets and added bidets to them. Life changing, I can't believe I went without them for so many years.

ok.....I'm intrigued. I've actually been using my kid's baby wipes because really, anything is better than dry TP. Looking at some options on Costco, seems the cheapy is just a hand-held thing for $80, then the seat-integrated ones are around $300 and up. Is the seat integration worthwhile? What about water temp? Is it basically a cold-shot to the butthole? That'll wake me up, no doubt.

Have been using bidet my entire life. It's a must! This post should be more of a PSA rather than YSK.

Stayed at a hotel last night and was curious how much I would need to pay to get a room with a bidet. Once you use one you can't go back.

I've tried them before and have never had a good experience. It either is too high pressure and hurts, or it's too low pressure and doesn't clean.

And I'm not particularly a fan of how wet everything gets down there after using one.

Is there a particular trick to them or, am I missing something?

OK, so, I actually did this a few months ago!

But, in my opinion, it is not a 100% replacement for toilet paper. First, everything gets wet after using-and if you're hairy like me you really do want to dry it, and I use TP to do that. Also, I've noticed that it doesn't always get everything-and using some TP to dry off is also a good way to make sure everything is clean.

And it also has a good bit of spray that will land on the seat and the bidet itself. You need to clean that off, I tend to do it with toilet paper when I stand up.

You won't stop using TP, but you'll certainly use less of it, I think I use about half as much now as before.

I want a bidet but my gf is worried about one thing : she have huge perriods, and doesn't see use a bidet to clean it. Is it convenient?

Does anyone know what options exist for those who rent? I just have a travel attachment but it's more annoying to fill it up every time.

Alternatively, installing a faucet near the toilet and placing bucket and dipper (locally it's tabo) is great. Common in the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia (source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabo_(hygiene))

Alright look, I swear I'm not just trying to be nasty. But poo always seemed to be......greasy.....to me. Shooting water at it seems equivalent to cleaning up oil with plain water - it just moves it around. Am I way off with this line of reasoning?

I can't even get the main water valve to close.

I also tried it once with the focused setting on a shower head and it was just a mess. It goes everywhere, but doesn't get rid of it properly. And in the end you end up with a dirty wet ass that you still have to wipe. I also feel that the toilet bowl does not offer enough space if you have one with a shelf, add a big dump to that and you'd have to poke it with the bidet.
