  Can I just clarify one point about this? I'm Italian and I can tell you without any doubt the bidet is NOT a replacement for toilet paper, but rather an addition. You clean your butt like anyone else, then you wash yourself. The bidet pipe is not designed to flush feces at all! Hoping this will shed some light into this topic. Stay clean y'all!

  As someone with Crohn's disease, bidets are incredibly important to me... Go to the bathroom 12-15 times in a day.. no bidet and your rear is now bleeding from being rubbed raw. Use a bidet, and all you're doing is drying yourself down there. Amazing quality of life difference.

  I gave my mom a bidet attachment to her toilet for her 75th birthday - and on her death bed she told me it was the best gift anyone ever gave her.  Which I found endearing and hilarious.

  I was a paper guy for 62 years.  I’m a bidet guy now and can’t live without it🤣

  My Dad was a builder who put a bidet in our home at Moms request in Los Angeles , California in 1962. Clearly Americans in the U.S. knew all about bidets at least 1/2 century ago. Today, 2024, there is a long time water shortage in California that precludes 2 water using apparatises for 1 person in every home.

  Bought a bidet on Amazon for like 40 bucks. Can't go back to not using one now.

  I discovered bidets in Spain and ordered one as soon as I landed back on US soil.  I always say the worst thing about my bidet is the 43 years I spent without a bidet.

  American with a bidet here. Best home improvement I've done, totally worth installing an outlet near our toilet.
