    If I ever become wealthy, I will buy a bidet with warm water, and make my residence have the piping for it. Switching to a cold-water bidet saved me a ton of TP. Alas, it would take $19,000+ for my current house to have 60-year old piping replaced to accommodate instant hot water.

    My house takes at least 5 minutes for the shower to get warm. I am wasting a ton of water, but the alternative is hypothermia.

    i feel this.

    i had a biobidet 320 heated washlet. kept a little tank of water next to the toilet always at 110-135 degrees F (I used 120). Press of a button and I had a clean ass with warm water. No chilly cheeks in midwinter. I repaired and rebuilt that damn thing so many times. That bidet came with me through ten moves. I think I gave it to my older brother because he’s a shitass.

    I opted for a bidet “wand” years ago. I found many bidets didn’t fit well on the toilets I had, or didn’t actually get me any cleaner than toilet paper would. The wand improves accuracy and cleanliness tenfold. Highly recommend if you want something that requires you to sit in a specific position to see the benefits of a bidet.

    All you need is a trip to the hardware store. You need a sink sprayer and a T adapter and you’re good to go.
