Probably depends on your diet, quantity of hair, weight/cheek mass, and usual bristol score. With TP some people need a couple of sheets and they come away with a clean sheet, others need half a roll.
So what you're saying is that I need to shave my butthole, hit the gym, and lawyer up?

Every time I hear someone say that they stopped using toilet paper after switching to a bidet, I have some serious questions. Because I've used bidets and washlets of all kinds, and I've never met one that actually cleaned fully without also rubbing/wiping. So, ok, using wet paper can get you much cleaner and is gentler than dry paper, but blasting wet feces droplets all over the place with a jet spray alone isn't so…
This is the only thing I don't get about bidets. Unless I'm missing something it's like unavoidable to get droplets on your hand/spreayer for the manual types? I personally wouldn't really care, but I just wonder why not more people make a fuzz about this. Again, maybe I'm missing something.
My wife made a joke about a bidet a few years ago, so also as a joke I bought us one for her birthday. The $60 attachment kind where you just plumb in a splitter from the source that fills the toilet tank. It was a hit, so we bought one for family friends for a birthday - high hilarity as we heard the reports from their kids - and then more for our extended family at Christmas. Shocked reactions around the Christmas…
Depends how cold your cold water is. Can be a 10-15C difference between Northern US and Southern US in winter.
Also becomes important if you're sizing a tankless water heater:

Finally, warmer water will dissolve whatever it hits better, instead of just suspending.

I've owned both, I agree. The other "big" feature of a plugged in biden is meant to be the blower/dryer, but at least in my one (TOTO branded) it is a waste of time. If the blower actually worked (e.g. Dyson Airblade), it would be a significant benefit, but as it stands I agree you get 80% with a simple spray toilet seat (other 20% is heated water, maybe the moving head a little, although you still have to shift your…
how do u know when ur running clear if u know what i mean? I've never used one before
As an argentinian living in the UK, I am waiting for this country to finally become civilised and include a stand alone bidet in every bathroom
I thought you were going to talk about electric sockets.

On the flip side, most people who use toilet paper think their butts will get completely clean. That is actually not the case.
But either is not a big deal because the skin in that hind area is quite resilient.
To the surprise of many people, the game-changer in bathroom hygiene is properly washing hands after using the toilet. People in developing countries lack access to clean water and soap. Nobody really misses toilet paper.
I can't imagine not having one.
I hope that future North American building codes include a GFCI plug placed near toilets for the fancy plugin kind.

Yes, this is the main idea.
