I did some travels in places where bidets are common, here's my take:

  • Egypt - basically a brass pipe targeted at your hole, everyone shitting oh it - no for me
  • Italy - standalone, you have to jump over - impractical, takes too much space
  • Japan/Korea - toilets from space, heated seat warm, water and dryer - comfy, but you need electricity, and if it fails, expensive
  • Finland - a shower attached to the toilet's water intake - just cold water, but it's fine, that's the easiest to install and use

South-East Asia - Hose attached to the tank or a tap in the wall. Best of all the worlds, just make sure you don't touch the tip.

Also South East Asia - bucket of water with a plastic cup next to the hole in the floor. I don't have a problem dribbling water down my buttcrack with my right hand while scrubbing my clacker valve with my left hand, but squatting over a hole in the floor is hell on the knees when you are nearly 2m tall.
