DanielTell me what you know about bidets
I don't have room/ funds for a separate fixture.
Anyway, I tried a bidet for the first time yesterday. I was skeptical that it might not work or be able to be cleaned easily.
Well, I was wrong and want one.
Please feel free to post links.

AxtremusWithout being a separate fixture, the bidet function can be an “add-on” to the seat of a regular toilet:

ShiroKuroOr you can get the Cadillac of toilets, with a bidet, a heated seat, and a whole range of other bells and whistles you never knew you needed, a Japanese-made Toyo!

They should give me a commission.

AxtremusOne thing I’ve seen in Japan that I really like the concept of is a small wash sink built right onto the top of the toilet tank. It made so much sense to me.

MikhailohThey're only $30 or so online as an add-on.

I’m not sure why that design hasn’t caught on here, especially in drought prone areas.

CindysphinxOMG, I love my bidet. Love, love, love.
We did out bathrooms last year, and I left it to the contractor to recommend a bidet that went with the toilet we installed. He picked one with a ton of features -- and I love them all.
Heated seat -- just wonderful
Heated water -- mmmmmmm
Separate streams for lady bits versus backside bits -- makes the water hit its target
Programmable -- set your water temperature and force
Oscillation -- goes back and forth
The key is you need an electrical outlet if you want the heating features. I think it would be worth it to put in an outlet if you want a bidet.
Spend the money -- get a bidet.

Mary AnnaWe recently stayed in an AirBnb with a toilet that had all of Cindy's options.
Wow.
I highly recommend it!

DanielWe're definitely buying one!
The evacuation order was lifted and we're going back to a refrigerator full of rotten food (because of course we turned off the breakers).
We won't be ordering one today but hopefully very soon.
