Additional LPT: You don't have to poop in order to use the bidet.

You wash your face in the morning, why not your asshole?

Ours was over $200 but it has a lot more features than just the heat - remote control, oscillating spray, different profiles for different users, heated drying, light effects, etc

Connecting the water was not difficult - The bidet came with a T-adapter that connected between the existing toilet water hose and the toilet.

I have one here, it's electric and has all the bells and whistles. Heated seat and water option, reg wash, turbo wash (for when feeling constipated), fem wash, child wash, even has a blowdryer, nightlight, Fabulous, I barely use any toilet paper if at all.

Mine electrically heats the water to a pre-selected temperature.

It has a fan to dry you off after, but in a hurry you could use two or three squares of TP. The cheeks don't get wet.

Yes, yes, and yes!

It's just changing out a toilet seat plus a hose that splices into the toilets water line.

Ours also has a power cord because the seat and water are both heated.

It's astonishing that this isn't a standard fixture everywhere. Just get one and install it on your toilet. More expensive ones are available that plug into power and heat the water (and the seat).

Just buy a cheap one and go for it. The stream aims pretty well so your whole ass isn't wet. All you really need to do is take a small amount of toilet paper to dry your taint and bunghole. The warm ones would be nicer but mine are hooked to the cold water and even my wife says it's a game changer

I bought one that you can install on your existing toilet, and I completely agree with the original poster on this thread. We bought it when there was a toilet paper shortage at the beginning of the pandemic.

Stand-alone bidets are also a thing if you have space in your bathroom. My grandparents had one growing up that sat right beside the toilet in their master bathroom. It was ornate looking and glorious.

I don't warm the water and live in a cold climate, just get one of the cheap ones and try it. Granted, the warm ones would be better, but I'll be damned if these things don't get the job done better. Even my wife asked me to install one in the second bathroom after she stopped laughing at me and tried it

Ok, likely a stupid questions: They all seem to have cold water only. Spraying my ass with cold water does not seem fun. Once you ate clean, what do you typically do to dry your butt? Seems to me your entire ass will be wet. I’ve been interested in them, but not really understood exactly how to use one. I’ve been traveling in Spain the last few weeks. I’ve seen them in every hostel and hotel I’ve been in.
