I also hear that buy using the bidet you do not need to have your bum bleached for the summer thong season.

For years now, we've used an attachable bidet called "the Biffy", which can now be purchased from Amazon. I should say that it's not attachable in the sense that you keep putting it on, but that it's not built in to your toilet bowl. Wouldn't want to be without it.
Added: it's an arm that goes under the seat with a handle that you can swing under "you".

I would like to have a bidet. I remembering looking at them on Amazon but they required plugging in, and my bathroom does not have any plug in located conveniently enough to the toilet. And I don't feel flush enough with money to pay for an electrician and drywall repair to get a new electrical outlet. Not sure I'd want a cold water bidet.

This post has given me chuckles & smiles.
Like Honeytnut,, my bathroom needs the same work done to have bidet.
I hinted to younger son that one would be nice ..
He bought us a new toilet that the seat comes down slowly.
That' nice but at times the sea7 doesn't come down fast enough for me.
I Slam it down.

Ron loves those toilet seats. He HAD to install one when we renovated our bathroom!! I don't get the appeal, but then again, I don't ever slam toilet seats or let them just drop.
My daughter in law, bless her heart, sent us a bidet attachment when Covid hit and toilet paper was at an all time low! It was a very sweet thought, but our TP supply never got low enough to need it. We said we'd install it after we got done with the kitchen. I wonder if Ron even remembers we still have it!
Re: bidets....how do you dry yourself off? I'm guessing the economy ones don't come with a dryer, so you'd use TP to pat yourself dry, right?
Mine just has a jet that sprays you. I have to wiggle around a little to get the full effect.

Okay. The Biffy also has a "jet" type spray on the arm, but you can maneuver the arm around.
Yep, I get to pat my behind dry instead of smear. Sometimes I pat gently and sometimes I pat firmly. There is still the option of a traditional wipe but where is the adventure in that?.

I encountered a bidet in a Paris hotel. Our room had a toilet with a separate bidet beside it. The room had no shower and the bathroom was one floor below and we had to go to the front desk to get the key. I used the wash basin for an APC wash and the bidet to wash my feet. Australians are basically barbarians but we are adaptable in unfamiliar surroundings.

In the 50s when I was stationed in France and saw a bidet for the first time, not knowing what it was, I washed my stockings and underwear out in the one I encountered in my hotel room. Oh well, I was very young and naive. But, I have been using feminine wipes and in a pinch, baby wipes, nothing else.

Ok, so not to get too TMI, but if you use a bidet, how do you know you're actually CLEAN if you don't wipe to check? I don't know what your toilet habits are, but I will wipe till the toilet paper or flushable wipes come away pristine. With a bidet, you can't actually know how clean you are unless you wipe to verify, right?

Maybe some one should come up with a mirror or camera attachment so you can see how clean it is.With a bidet, you can't actually know how clean you are unless you wipe to verify, right?

You were lucky, I spent a couple of seasons harvesting the wine grapes in France, it was a typical student summer job. I was there to learn the language. A bidet eh? If only, we had the ignominy of the famous: "Squat & drop!" Ugh! I can still smell it sixty years later.
Those two lattice stands each side of the hole is where you put your feet, I think squat & drop needs no further explanation.

I've seen those and wondered how people with disabilities or the elderly are able to use them.

Many years later I recalled the reminisce of the shower-tray-crapper with someone that I worked with. He told me that when he was 19 and doing national service in the navy, he went on shore leave at Malta, realised that he should have gone before leaving the ship, but by some stroke of luck he came across a "Gents." Some toilet, it was the infamous squat & drop. Remember he was wearing his white uniform? He pulled the trousers down, squatted over the hole and crapped straight into the seat of his pants. Gotta get your aim straight!

We've come a long way since the corncobs and sears catalogs of my very early days.
I always wondered how do you clean one of these bidets when one goes and they have the "Hershey Squirts" and it gets all over inside the bowl and under the seat?
You can't. That, plus the need to dry is why a bidet doesn't save any paper.Ok, so not to get too TMI, but if you use a bidet, how do you know you're actually CLEAN if you don't wipe to check?

Don't try it on my lawn!
I remember the two holer we had and the bra and panty section of the sears catalog with fondness.
