Honestly after using one of these for years living abroad there’s no going back. It’s faster, cleaner, and more environmentally friendly. I will continue to install them wherever I live in the future. It’s an “addition” to the usual method, not a replacement, so it’s just objectively a good idea.
I don't think that any country that doesn't have these installed on almost all toilets, including those in public toilets, can really call itself "civilized".
I really surprised myself with how much I think "wow, brutes" whenever I have to use the toilet at a house with no bidet. I didn't think I would be so stuck up on this, but it really feels disgusting to have to wipe feces again.
Thanks. It does not look like I can get Amcor/Bemis products in the Netherlands. I was hoping to take the guesswork out of it and avoid buying something crappy. If anyone around here could offer a suggestion, I would appreciate it.
Wet wipes, no matter how much the manufacturer claims, are not flushable. They don't break down in water like toilet paper (why would they? defeats their purpose), and clog sewage lines like a mofo. Even if they don't affects the lines in your property, they very likely gather somewhere downstream. The alternative is throwing them in some kind of receptacle, which I understand is acceptable in some countries anyway due to poor sewage infrastructure.
Well as environment friendly as it can be in addition to providing better cleansing, bidets would replace possibly billions of dollars of toilet paper expenses from across the spectrum of population with different wealth. This is a loss of revenue for corporations and government (sales tax) who are in turn controlled by the corporations.
Was curious and got one but it does not remove everything. I have to finish the job with paper anyway. The result is bit better but I expected more. Like no more toilet paper just wipe with a towel. Am I mistaken?
Yes, that's not typical. With mine, there's nothing visible after I wash, so you could probably wipe with a towel, although I just use two TP squares to avoid the possibility of a potentially poo-stained towel.
The bum gun is a big improvement over dry paper once you learn to manage the process well (keeping the water stream under careful control), but the ultimate in easy effective cleaning is the toilet with integrated sprayers. Fancy ones let you control pressure, angle, pulse or continuous, etc. Via buttons on the side or the wall next to you.

The only problem is, they can be cold in the winter depending on water source. I do not mind and actually find it refreshing.
A handheld bidet requires less butt-shimmey to clean more surface area.
Scrub it off with a piece of paper or wash it off with water?
They are so much better and sanitary than toilet paper in every dimension.
