Does anyone know what options exist for those who rent? I just have a travel attachment but it's more annoying to fill it up every time.

laughs in Italian yes come to the right side of personal hygiene
Do you all have an electric outlet by your toilet to get heated water already? I'm interested in trying it out in my house, but don't want to run electric for it.
Mine hooks to the hot water feed under the sink.

I've tried them before and have never had a good experience. It either is too high pressure and hurts, or it's too low pressure and doesn't clean.
And I'm not particularly a fan of how wet everything gets down there after using one.
Is there a particular trick to them or, am I missing something?
Sounds like your asshole is just a tad sensitive. Maybe you can get the toilet to buy you dinner first and see if that helps?

You can get ones where the valve is metered so you can open it a little for low power or sightly more for more water. I always wipe once after using it mine, which keeps things dry, but I ain't never had to wipe twice.

It truly is life changing. A roommate received one as a gift in college. We soon fitted the other bathroom with a bidet as well because it was too good.
I can't even get the main water valve to close.
I also tried it once with the focused setting on a shower head and it was just a mess. It goes everywhere, but doesn't get rid of it properly. And in the end you end up with a dirty wet ass that you still have to wipe. I also feel that the toilet bowl does not offer enough space if you have one with a shelf, add a big dump to that and you'd have to poke it with the bidet.

I would get one, but bidet preachers annoy me so much “
how could people live without one the absolute foul savages dwelling in their filth “
Another upvote for the Bidet. Super easy to install, I think mine was £40 and it's a life changer.
Had no idea they were that cheap. Could've gotten one forever ago, lol
$40! Hope it's high quality shit. In Asia where bidet is a common thing, it costed around $10
Imagine you got poop on your arm and decided to wipe it away with toilet paper. You know there's still poop on it. The same thing goes for your butt. Clean your butt!
And also saves trees
There are about a million people here all saying the same thing. It’s amazing, it’s better than you think, and once you use one, you will never ever go back.
It’s all true. When you poop in a public restroom or at a friends house without one, you will feel tainted.
In the winter if you’re worried about cold water, you should know the anus is not very temperature sensitive. I suppose because in our evolutionary past we did not use our anus much to sense the temperature of objects.
I've thought of getting at least a portable Bidet for a while (I rent, so can't really install a proper bidet). How easy are they to install?
