In the midst of coronavirus outbreak all over the world, I keep scratching my head every time there's a post/news about people scrambling on toilet papers. There are so many cons of using toilet papers compared to bidets, and yet people still refuse to switch.

Toilet paper:
❌ Not clean
❌ Uncomfortable
❌ Not environmentally friendly
❌ Takes space
❌ Pricey

Bidet:
✔ Totally clean
✔ Refreshing
✔ Environmentally friendly
✔ Takes no space
✔ Economical

So, have you switched to using bidets? If not, what's stopping you?

Had a bidet for many years now (Canada) and never going back. One of the greatest things I've ever purchased.

They cost money for a good one. I want a Toto Washlet, like, one of the $500 ones. I have other things that have higher priority. I've been wiping my ass like an animal my whole life, so like, eh. I can wait.

What do you mean? Do you think I bought enough toilet paper for the next 10 years and won't use it?

How do you not need toilet paper still? You have to dry your ass. Bidets are so you don't have to touch shit.

When I was visiting Japan, I grew to love them so much. I felt so fresh after each trip to the toilet. Coming back to toilet paper felt like going back to the middle ages.

Unfortunately I'm a renter and my place has those short round toilets that aren't very well suited to bidets.

I was planning on getting one a bit later this year once I had more money coming in. But with how stupid people are acting over toilet paper, I said screw it and ordered one.

They can be as cheap as $30. Decent ones are around $100. The luxury ones with all the features can be up in the $1000's, but you don't need to be rich to have one and they pay for themselves pretty quick.

While you should still use a bit of toilet paper to dry the remnants it DRASTICALLY reduces the amount of toilet paper used. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I honestly hate going to the bathroom in other people's houses when they don't have one, I feel so dirty lol.

You honestly don't need a good one.

Are they cool? Yeah sure, but a $30-40 wipes your ass just as fine.

Yep, the only places I use toilet paper for wiping is if I have to go when I'm not at home.

My Tushy broke after about a year, which is coincidentally the warranty. But when I emailed they just sent me another one, no questions asked.

Biden attachments aren't wonderful.

I bought a bidet around 5 years ago and can't imagine ever going back. We have a washlet on our main toilet, but I picked up a cheap (around $50) Luxe bidet on Amazon for one of the other toilets, and it works just fine. The only drawback is that you'll never feel clean using a regular toilet again.

It's pretty indisputable. Better than toilet paper, wipes, lotas, tabos, whatever. Ideally a Japanese style washlet, but even a cheap handheld sprayer is an enormous improvement.

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

Do bidets really work well against those "never ending wiping" shits too? I can't wrap my head around that being the case.

Bidets are great. Have washlets in both of my bathrooms and they are wonderful. Weren't that expensive, either. Costco has multiple tiers and varieties available all across the pricing spectrum.

I still use TP as well, but yes, if Corona is what gets North America on the Bidet Train it might not have all been for naught.

It's vastly superior to constantly wiping. You can just blast yourself clean, spraying yourself as long as it takes to dislodge everything. Even the worst cases will be far quicker. Even if you do have to wipe, you'll have water to assist the cleansing.

100% yes. Get one. It will change your life.

I used to walk around with a constant itchy ass. Not anymore.

As far as the current situation, I'm on the same roll of TP with my wife for like 2-3 weeks now. Just use a tiny bit to dry up.

I never put 1 and 2 together. So we can buy these in the U.S.? For some stupid reason I thought we couldn't get them here. My ass is ready!

I've had to get a hemorrhoid fixed...and now i have one of these $500 toto washlets. Bye bye bleeding and straining. They're fantastic and well worth the money! i really use 10 times less toilet paper. If anyone needs to further convince the SO tell them about the heated seat option.
