European Bidets are a Total Let Down

I bought bidet attachments for my toilets during the pandemic. Not because there was a paper shortage, but because the reviews were great.

I went to Europe and used a few standalone, European bidets. I was not impressed. They required me to use more paper than I would with no bidet! You have to get up and move from one seat to another. Surprisingly, the $110 Tushy toilet seat attachment I’m using now is better than anything I saw in Italy. The United States truly is the greatest country in the world.

I was traveling with some non-bidet users, so I found instructions to help us where the first two steps are “1. Use the toilet” and “2. Locate and sit on the bidet.” https://toiletseek.com/stand-alone-bidet-how-use-pros-cons/

You want me to get up and move? No thanks.
