A bidet is much better. No paper needed. Most Europeans don't use TP and have clean bums 😉 Ziggysmom Jul 2021 #1

I agree bidets are da bomb. Small problem can be the hot water connection to avoid... TreasonousBastard Jul 2021 #2

There are heated bidet seats... Rollo Jul 2021 #3

I actually like the cold water, got used to it. LOL. I know, TMI!!! Ziggysmom Jul 2021 #4

As my bidet equiped toilet is on the 2nd floor, it'd take a bit for warm water to reach it. Kaleva Aug 2021 #5

I’ve used the Tushy brand bamboo TP and it’s soft and absorbent. Tushy also makes a bidet you can attach to any toilet pretty easy. Gets you much cleaner after pooping compared to TP 💩

Thus the cold water and hot water are both the same ambient house temperature unless you run the cold water long enough to actually get cold water or the hot water long enough to get hot water.
