    If bidets became commonplace, it would reduce the need for toilet paper greatly! Ask me, I know! Got one for $40.00 from Amazon, attached in minutes. Best thing since sliced bread

      I did the exact same. I never want to go back. Though Ill be honest, I have never tried sliced bread on the anus.

        Dude, it takes like 5 minutes to install. There is no complicated plumbing. One existing bendy pipe is forked into two - your tank and the bidet.

          For a simple cold water model, sure. Maybe theirs is heated and needs a second water line run to the main plumbing, or a power cable somewhere which can be awkward in a bathroom.

      Doesn’t it involve plumbing? I’m not good with plumbing. I’m picturing water everywhere, like the time I fixed my sink.

        Not that much “plumbing” if you wanna call it that.

        1. Turn the nozzle on the water line, from the wall to the tank, off.
        2. Unscrew the line and add the bidet line to it.
        3. Screw line back in.
        4. Turn nozzle back on.
        5. Enjoy a clean booty.

        Yes it involves plumbing, but just barely. It’s super easy. Everything screws in with no more than a simple wrench. There is no soldering, cutting, specialized tools, or anything like that. If you can screw and unscrew the cap on a soda bottle, you can do this.

        If you have a newer home, it only involves removing the water feed line to your toilet tank (turn water at shut-off valve first) and installing the hose to the bidet. It is very simple process as long as your toilet and home is not too old. When parts are old and corroded from time, it can be a bit more involved. Check out YT for “do it yourself” vids.

        Same here! Makes me wonder why it took so long to discover something the Europeans have had for many years
