A bidet off of Amazon, cheap and easy to install. I wasn't sure that I would like it but I like to only go at home now. Wife loves it.
Same. I came here to say bidet. Now at work I hate to have to use the paper.
I went the cheaper/more portable route of toilet paper spray. I was working long hours and drinking a lot of coffee, which resulted in a lot of poop breaks. Rough toilet paper on sensitive skin isn't fun, especially after like the second time in a few hours. My previous solution was having a tube of Preparation H (or the like) in my desk drawer, but that's awkward and can get messy. I found Aquinelle by chance in my local drug store once and decided to give it a try and it's a total game changer. I put it in a small pump-spray bottle and it's like a portable bidet.
I'm from Italy where everyone has one, I'm now living abroad and god I miss my bidet
We don't have an electrical outlet that is convenient to plug a bidet into (for warm water) so that has prevented us from giving it a shot.
We have a Tushy (Spa 3.0) that takes 2 water connections: a cold water and a hot water (comes from the tap line). That might work if you have hot water connection.
Now that you mention it, I recall that some products could tap into the hot water, but for at least one of the bathrooms that would be even a bigger PITA because the hot water lines are on opposite walls. Also with a tankless house, it can take a while for the hot water to flow, so the last thing I want is cold water flowing for the first 2 mins in the middle of winter. That doesn't sound like fun.
You don't have to plug it in, it works with the water pressure
The heated ones need power. They preheat the water.
There are some you can connect a hot water line to them, but with a tankless hot water heater, it could be a few minutes before hot water is flowing through the bidet. On a winter day, so that would be rather uncomfortable, I would think.
