It's really funny to read posts written by all the naysayers. They don't have bidet but are the loudest opponents.
They clearly don't KNOW what they're talking about.
It's just another phobia. This time: bidet-phobia. Is a taboo, it is terrifying, hideous, and even immoral - the American aversion to water bottom cleaning after pooping.
They may be obsessed with sanitation, yet insist, against reason, on the least-sanitary, least-healthy option for managing their poop.
Go figure....

I've considered getting an add on bidet...but once in a hotel I had the opportunity to try a bidet. Nope, not for me...unless I'm going to use it before getting in the shower!
Trying to be as tactful as I can, I'm a man, and I have a nice 'bubble butt's in other words, my cheeks are firmly together where the sun don't shine. Even spreading them and then sitting, there's going to be a mess on my cheeks when I defecate. As it exits, it smears my cheeks.
Mother used to yell at me about using too much TP as a kid..but I needed to be clean.
When they first came out with disposable baby wipes, I was an early adopter. They worked great for that "not so fresh" feeling down below.
There's still some washing/drying to do with a bidet, so it didn't leave me feeling clean or fresh, or freshly cleaned.
"Air drying" is NOT an option for me, because my cheeks are firmly planted together, so there's no air to get to the necessary location.
I'd still be using TP and Butt wipes...so not much sense in a bidet.
I've looked at them available on line. Many are just cold water, and I don't feel launching into space when I turn it on.
The ones that do have warm or hot water require either a plug in as toilets don't have hot water, or it has to be plumbed in from the hot water line.
I don't know about your house, but we don't have a plug in the wall down by the toilet!
So, unless or until they mandate bidets to save on TP, I'll stick with TP and butt wipes.
Ah, the trials and tribulations of having a cute man bubble butt!
LOL! Pretty sure I’d spend far far more on the bidet than I ever would on toilet paper.
We installed the add on and paid about $500 for a top of the line. Warm seat, good wash, blow dry if desired.
I'm sold on it and it leaves you a lot cleaner. I can see where the elderly would appreciate it even more so.
On the other hand, my BIL just returned from Africa. No toilet paper (or deodorant) there. I guess that's just one of the reasons they grow so many Banana Trees.
Maybe that's the frugal solution. Banana tree leaves. And you can recycle.
You can't afford thirty bucks?
I take one when we travel if we're going to stay somewhere for a week. Last month I had to use the toilet before hooking up the bidet. I cleaned up and was confident I was CLEAN. When I got the bidet hooked up and I used it I was shocked to find I wasn't nearly as clean as I thought.
I will bet you my underwear is cleaner than yours come laundry day.

Some countries/cultures use them as serving plates too. Literally the greenest type of kitchenware you can use! (Use them as a plate first, then as toilet paper)
