I love using a bidet, but one problem I do have with it is that the water jet thingy stopped receding after a while, so every flush now splashes poop and water onto the jet nozzle and I have to manually use the cleaning mode every time I use the bidet.

ok.....I'm intrigued. I've actually been using my kid's baby wipes because really, anything is better than dry TP. Looking at some options on Costco, seems the cheapy is just a hand-held thing for $80, then the seat-integrated ones are around $300 and up. Is the seat integration worthwhile? What about water temp? Is it basically a cold-shot to the butthole? That'll wake me up, no doubt.

Do they make any that don't take up the rear 3/4 of the seat? I'm interested in getting one but with the standard round toilet you lose a lot of real estate. I don't want my poops to look like they've been squeezed through a playdough extruder or worry about missing my target in an emergency situation.

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.
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.
heated water is nice, but room temperature water direct from the pipes is not as cold as I expected. It's still much better than TP.
I want a bidet but my gf is worried about one thing : she have huge perriods, and doesn't see use a bidet to clean it. Is it convenient?

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?
For a bidet attachment like tushy it's just shut off the water, flush to drain toilet, remove seat, attach bidet and use the hose splitter for the water, and put seat back on over the bidet attachment.
Not sure I understand all of what you're saying, but sounds like I could fill in the blanks with a video tutorial. I'll have to take a look, thanks
it's an easy install and easy uninstall.

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.

I tried one for the first time when I visit Finland in 2019. 10/10 would spray my ass again.
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
