Got one for Christmas and it had been a revolutionary improvement for my pooping life. Now every time I travel or have to poo in public I spend the whole time pouting and thinking wistfully about my bidet at home.

I wonder whether you meant "bidet shower" or "bidet" (meant as a stand-alone additional sanitary equipment for a toilet room).

I installed 1 bidet about 3 months before the height of the toilet paper shortage in 2020. Got used to it and recommended to everyone. I got installed another right as stores sold completely out of toilet paper. I do not feel clean without it.

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?

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.

It's a lot faster to cleanup too. Everyone should try it

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))

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.

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?

Do you all have an electric outlet by your toilet to get heated water already? I'm interested in trying it out in my house, but don't want to run electric for it.

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.

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.
