I can't use a bidet at work!

But I can wash my ass immediately after a shit at home, so I don't really need a bidet.

I don't know if it helps with diseases but it's just more civilized and clean to get that butt shower.

I want to eventually get a washlet in every bathroom in our house.

How do you power them? Most bathrooms I have seen do not have handy outlets anywhere near the toilet.

Everytime I think about getting a bidet, I picture actually blasting water from my ass upwards into my face.

You spray it down into the toilet...it amazes me how perplexing this is to some.

They are nice. I was in Japan last year and taking a dump was a treat since bidets were everywhere. The heated seat models would be amazing in winter.

Bidet-showerheads are ubiquitous in Finnish apartments. Bathrooms are usually fairly small and the showerhead is attached to the sink. You can use it after being on the toilet or for general cleaning.

Portable bidets are also a thing for those who can't or don't want to install a standard bidet on their toilet. Installing one on mine would have been a hassle, but getting a portable one turned out great. It saves me a lot of toilet paper and makes me feel way cleaner/fresher than just using paper would. I honestly think most people wouldn't go back to just paper if they tried it for a even a week. We've been missing out here in America.

used a bidet on some vacations and loved it but never thought about buying one. I ordered one today just because of this toilet paper shortage, so I'm joining the club.

No but I want to. I've wanted a really good bidet toilet for a while but my wife has a rule that's only for "my" bathroom when we add one to our basement. I suspect she'll love it she's just scared at the moment.

Also I fucking hate when a thread title asks one question and the poll asks something else. Ffs how hard is it to keep them the same.

Non-Bidet-Era: I know it's hard to come to terms with the simple fact that you are wrong on this one. "No way, I've been smearing shit around on my skin this entire time? That can't be true! I don't smell bad! Bidets couldn't possibly work!" I get it. I was a nay-sayer at first, too.
How could all those people wiping their ass with toilet paper be wrong? Especially when there's the super soft premium TP that clogs your pipres, you know, the good shit?
Turns out: I was wrong! It's really the best purchase you can make to improve the quality of your life.
They are cheap, easy to install and best of all: You won't go around in public with your own shit smeared all over you. It's just gone! There's no excuses, you don't have to install new pipes or something like that. Everyone can have a bidet!

I've had one in my home in California for 15 years, which we chose to install after my first trip to Japan in 2004. And living in Tokyo now, I own one. Amazing for hygiene.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a UK bidet? With our regulations around power supplies and bathrooms, I'm wondering what the best option would be for a (preferably heated) bidet. My loo is separate from the main bathroom so only has a cold water supply to the cistern.

I could understand if it was part of the toilet but not a separate unit. Unless you're just using the bidet to finish off.

Bidets, lotas, douche shower sprays, bidet sprays, showerheads attached to sinks, lota, so many options other than toilet paper.

Some of these options, your hands might touch shit but you wash that down away and then wash your hands thoroughly at the sink. No risk of infection or smell or whatever. Western world, it's time to wake up to the clean butt movement started from thousands of years ago.

True.

Shower sprays are pretty cheap and easy to install if bidets are a bit too much.
