We have two washlet style bidets and rarely use them. The first was a low end model installed in a remodeled bathroom, so there were no added renovation costs. The second was a Toto added to an existing bathroom. The only renovation cost was a few bucks to extend an existing outlet using surface mount wiring.
We found we still need toilet paper, they don't really get things clean and dry. Either that, or use our hands to wipe after spraying (which might explain the quick adoption in middle east countries.
The bigger issue is people use too much toilet paper. After being humorously chastised by my wife and daughter, I have been able to reduce my toilet paper use to 4 or less squares per flush, which is the same I use with the bidet. So now, the only time I use the bidet is for something really messy.
I will still install them in any future home, but I don't think they are the cure all some think.
But the heated seats are well with it!

I have a bidet! Or a washlet, as it attaches to the toilet. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread! We certainly had no problems during The Great Toilet Paper Shortage of 2020. It's an after-market bidet, so it has no bells or whistles, but when I remodel my bathroom I'm installing a toilet with a built-in bidet, and hopefully I can find one with a dryer so I don't need to use toilet paper to dry off. Then I'm taking the one I have upstairs and either move it to my downstairs bathroom or my RV bathroom, as RV toilet paper is horrible (we have to use baby wipes and throw them in the trash--NEVER flush them, as they are NOT flushable, despite what the package says. As it is, we use significantly less toilet paper than we did and we get cleaner than ever before.

I STILL don't get how the bidet works and why it would work so well. Esp for the behind. How does the 'pasty' feces come off with just water? No soap if water is involved? Is it pressure washed? How do you sit on it? How do you get slightly inside the hole if required for a proper clean? I use paper squares THEN one final wipe with an 'adult' wet wipe. Why should only babies get a fancy proper wet wipe? Cottonelle wet wipes saved my LIFE! How would the wet wipe be better then a lifeless stream of water to clean your bum- with the wet wipe you get to be able to use strategic pressure where needed to get the job clean properly.

I can not be convinced the practice is at all sanity in a public restroom environment. Having water shoot up and leaving even the smallest residue on the very object that produces the water then repeats for the next user? Not convinced. I used one in Italy was not impressed and did not feel clean knowing some stranger used it before me. Wipes at least are a one time use and really can be disposed of in other methods then throwing them down the toilet. Not saying my practices but just giving my opinion.

Anal douche. it has a ring to it, thanks for the new insult. Add i love my bio bidet bb1000, i got one when someone said if you step on dog poop barefoot, would you feel clean wiping it off with toilet paper? . I still use a ton of toilet paper to dry the water from the hair faster. I was starting to get hemorrhoids before i got one, and now after about a year it's like my butt is brand new.

Have tried a couple bidets. HATE THEM! I hate the feel of the water forcing it s jet up sensitive parts, hate the time needed to let the drier dry me (still had to use TP to dry my bum off, also feel it s a water hog. Access to clean water becomes more and more a problem, bidets are just flushing more of it down the drain. Not for me ever!

it's not a matter of money or prejudice. it's about cleanliness: how the fk you go in your day just wiping ur bum bum with just a thin paper, and knowing us human and the relativity of cleaning among us yo know that maybe the majority of ppl do not clean themselves properly, it's just bruh moment for America.

I'm Brazilian and I've never in my life seen this thing anywhere here.
Although we don't throw used toilet paper into the toilet either, that's asking for a plumber. And if it's a business or public bathroom and the owners or employees find out you did that, they're gonna ask what the hell are you doing.

We had one installed in 2019. Mostly because just toilet paper doesn't properly clean you. Boy that helped in 2020. Now we just use toilet paper to dry ourselves. I'd like one of the bidet attachments that also have a dryer too. I'd still keep toilet paper for guests so I don't need to give a tutorial

Bidet users are weird, how can you not wipe your bum like a civilized human? it's not rocket science, and you have a shower 15 to 30 min after, how is this worse than haveing poo water dribble down your cheeks, then walking around talking to people with poo water on your skin.

I remember Saturday night live did a skit about bidets we laughed like crazy before women's hygiene products women used actually the my mother told me about the day that they came out and seeing her mother run out and bought them I'll bet they both would have loved to bidet.

Bidets are truly life changing. And its shocking to sit back and think how many people are walking around dirty down there cause they literally smear feces around with paper. Im convinced if someone refuses to use a bidet they are absolutely lower on the evolutionary scale.

A Muslim man once said to me, if you got shit on your beard, would you wipe it away with paper and be done with it, call it clean? No you wouldn't, you would use water and soap. I stood there feeling very gross and suddenly in favor of washing my ass after use. Lol

Can you do a video on early days of video gaming up until the Nintendo SNES? How did the industry end up with Nintendo pretty much crushed all competition?
(until the rise of PlayStation, which many of us know of the story between Nintendo and Sony)
