This is the kind of quality content that will get people to move away from reddit.
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 wonder whether you meant "bidet shower" or "bidet" (meant as a stand-alone additional sanitary equipment for a toilet room).
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?
Yes you are, it really helps. They can spray quite hard. You will feel 1000% cleaner after.

Legit, if you have enough fat in your stool for it to feel greasy, that may be steatorrhea, which may be a symptom of some underlying condition.
Or, it could just be too much fat in your diet. Most of the time, that's what it is, just not being well balanced in terms of fats vs fiber and carbs. Surprisingly, vegetarians are more prone to it than meat eaters in my experience, because meat eaters tend to eat their meat with different foods than vegetarians use to keep their protein intake right. So the vegetarians end up not realizing the fats they're taking in.
Varies a good bit though since some meat eaters don't actually eat enough of the other things to keep it balanced out.
Anyway, point is that everything comes down to poo.

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.
Consider checking out the backpacking bidets like culo clean or holey hiker

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

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.

Do they make any that don't take up the rear 3/4 of the seat? I'm interested in getting one but with the standard round toilet you lose a lot of real estate. I don't want my poops to look like they've been squeezed through a playdough extruder or worry about missing my target in an emergency situation.
