    Wouldn’t recommend. I bought a Kärcher brand one some time ago, it had too much pressure. Got my butt cleaned to the bone though.

    Edit: I appreciate the advice about pressure, but folks, I was joking about power washers 😆

      You need to use the valve to adjust the pressure. They’re also not all the same.

      There are pressure and temperature regulators you’re supposed to attach with them so that you can have control over both

      Edit in case you’re interested, it’s called a bidet mixing valve, and you can control temp and pressure with a single accessory which you attach to your existing plumbing. The controls for the adjustments are kept outside of the wall and look like any regular shower control for temp. They sell them in any number of stylings and finishes

      I don’t have an outlet next to my toilet. I would love to add them though but I’m gonna need an electrician

        Can sometimes drop one pretty easily from ceiling vent van or light switch. If not, yeah electrician might be needed. Make it a gift to yourself if you are able. It’s one of those decisions there’s no way you are going to regret.

      There’s tops you can buy really cheap that you can put in a bottle and have a very cheap bidet. I think for many people it’s a struggle to change their mind that this is also OK and it doesn’t have to cost thousands of $$$

    I grew up in a Muslim country and I hate these. They are always either too strong or too weak. And they somehow always leak (no idea why).

    Wet wipes ftw.

        Afaik, this is false. There actually are flushable wet wipes that dissolve in water just like regular TP, but a little slower. Just make sure to check it for yourself and don’t rely on what the packaging says.

    Thanks. That’s a reasonable review. I hate that people claim bidets to be magic.

      If you had poop on your arm, would you clean it with water or just wipe it with a dry towel and call it a day?

        Would you only use water or would you also wipe it, use soap as well?

    I know Europe loves to shit all over the US on this topic.

    Unless I’m sick, well over 95% of my poops take place immediately before I shower. I don’t really see how this is any different.

      it sounds like you understand the value of using water to clean your butthole after you poop… so why not spend the $30 on a bidet just in case you ever do have a poop and don’t want to shower? or hell just so you don’t use as much TP before hopping in the shower. or for anyone else using your toilet and not wanting to hop in the shower…

      So basically everytime you take a poop you have to shower…

      You mean to tell me that you rather wash your whole body every single day once or twice wether it’s summer or winter wether you left the house to do any activity or stayed at home all of this commitment just so you don’t give in and use a bidet. God Americans y’all are so special.

        I mean to tell you that I’m that regular. Once in the morning and I’m done until tomorrow.

        And yes, I wash my body every single day. Are you telling me the paragon of asshole cleanliness that is Europeans doesn’t?

        God Europeans are so eager so shit on all of us. Is it the orange monkey we elected? Is that what did it?

    like walking on others poop/butt water is so civilized. wet wipes are the way to go.
