Ahh, yeah, I don’t like the notion of those. Never tried one but just conceptually it seems limited.

The kind I’ve got is just this, it’s super easy to attach to an existing toilet and is quite handy.

I’m Italian and I must support @FaceDeer 's point, these are standard in my country (and they should be standard everywhere, damn barbarians) and they are definitely better than a spray nozzle attached to a toilet. You can also use them for other things, like washing your feet.

So you have a dirty crack, you got to get up, and waddle through the bathroom with pants on your ankles?

Yeah, I’m wondering about that. I’m a filthy TP barbarian but, how exactly does one make this style of bidet work?

I think there’s confusion about which versions of bidet we’re talking about. The kind I’m lauding, the ones like a little shower head, are attached to the toilet you’re on. You don’t need to go anywhere to use them, just reach over and take it from its holder.

How do you guys use that? I’m guessing you live somewhere where it’s warm? That would be spraying ice cold water up my bum over here.

The opposite, actually - I’m Canadian. :)

All I can say is that if you’ve never tried a bidet before you’ll likely be very surprised by how little sensitivity you’ve got to cold water down there. It’s simply not uncomfortable or even particularly noticeable, either in my experience or in anyone I’ve talked to about it (which is admittedly not many - it’s not a common topic of conversation).

The hand bidet was super cheap and the shipping was free, so I figured “why not give it a whirl?” And it worked out great.

How do you make it work though? You slip a hand behind you and aim at the crack at an angle so it sprays into the bowl?
