In the world of clean butts, there’s one special toilet gadget that reigns supreme for getting you squeaky clean: a bidet. They’re not common in the U.S., but if you’ve ever had the pleasure of using one while traveling, your life was likely changed and it made you want one in your own bathroom. Or if you’re wondering what on earth a bidet even is, allow us to elevate your number two experience.
While you may think of a bidet as that vaguely toilet-looking object that you find in hotels throughout Europe, know that you don’t have to invest in a whole new throne to enjoy the perks of this device. You can invest instead in bidet attachments that can be installed on your existing toilet for anywhere from $50 to about $300.
A bidet uses a high-pressure nozzle to spray water on your nether regions, leaving you way more cleansed and poo-free than regular toilet paper does. Plus, some bidets even offer a fancy air drying feature. And if you spend a lot of time doing the doo, you’ll probably save a ton of money on stocking up on toilet paper rolls.
If having a clean booty every time you poo sounds like your idea of a great time, you’re in luck. We asked enthusiastic bidet believers about the bidets they use at home so you can make sure you get only the best for your rear end.

"I bought the Tushy after several of my friends got it and enjoyed it so much, they also bought travel bidets so they'd never be without one. I like that it was affordable and incredibly easy to install. And I do feel like I use less toilet paper, so it's saving me money and a little more environmentally friendly." — Paige Lavender, HuffPost news director
"We ordered it at the beginning of the pandemic (as everyone was freaking out about toilet paper) and didn’t get it for a while because so many other people did, too. We got it a few months later and it’s been love ever since." — Lacey T., founder of The Mddl with Lacey podcast
"I appreciate how the Ace coddles me and treats me like the rich lady my brain convinces me I am. And though it seems like it might be complicated, I recommend it for first time bidet users, because you can customize pretty much everything, including the water pressure. I appreciate that I can change the temperature of the water too, because sometimes it's jarring to have very cold water propelled into your butt! I appreciate the dual nozzle especially after sex or when I'm menstruating, because things can get, er, messy, and now I can clean up without paper waste." — Sarah Madaus, New York City-based writer and fitness instructor
"I love the cleanliness! America is one of the only countries where this isn’t a practice. It also saves paper — we’ve cut down on toilet paper so much since we purchased it." — Cortne M. Bonilla, fashion and beauty editor at Editorialist
"I love that it was easy to install, I feel cleaner, and using less toilet paper! It's renter-friendly too, since I can uninstall when I move out!" — Greta Geiselman, HuffPost director of office services
"It’s got adjustable water pressure and temperature so it’s set just how I like it. I travel a lot for work and miss it a lot when I’m gone! I don’t know how I lived so many years without one." — Twitter user Lorna Juett
