Seriously-- I kinda wanted one for a long time, but I just assumed they were expensive. They are not. You can install it yourself. If you do so, you will never go back, and it will change your life for the better.

Bidet.

Why did I read this in Ryan Reynolds' voice? Even had that moment at the end where he looks directly into the camera.

There's no question about it. You'll never want to poop publicly again and scrape poo from your bum with TP like a caveman.

Fair warning: this will (further) ruin public restrooms

100%.

I live in a country where every bathroom has a bidet. Or a bum gun. They are miracles.

I hate when hotels don't have bidets, I really wish it was as common as toilets

I think many people assume it’s those seats. Like in Japan… at least I did. But this is not correct, not all of them are. In my country we use these ‘wands’ which work when you turn on the sink faucet. Has a little finger trigger. It’s very convenient, clean. I’ll never go back!!

Haven’t tried it.. 🤣… but if it squirts, it works? 🤔

And great for doing dishes and washing vegetables!

In a lot of places, a bidet refers to the whole integrated rig, the $30 under the seat things are washlets and the hand sprayer is advertised as a cloth diaper sprayer.

Back in time, a long time ago, when I was 19 and spent about a year traveling abroad, I learned that a bidet in the bathroom isn't a standard everywhere. Couldn't understand why.
