15 Highly Rated Bidets to Help Stretch Your Toilet Paper

Listen, we get it — most of you weren't thinking about bidets two months ago. Neither were we, but my, how times have changed. In researching this story, we discovered that there are pre-coronavirus bidet converts out there who are near-evangelical in their devotion to bidets over toilet paper (even if they could find some). Comments range from the hyper-enthusiastic — "two years with a butt sprayer has been life-changing" — to the hopeful — "if you receive a lot of samples, can you send one my way?" Below are a number of bidet toilet seats and attachments that might turn you into a convert too. 

Note: Prices and availability are subject to change. Due to high demand, some items may temporarily have inflated prices or be available only from third-party sellers.

Here's a bit of a primer before we get started. A traditional bidet, used in Europe and elsewhere overseas, requires its own plumbing and own space (something few Americans can accommodate). Bidet toilet seats, which also go by the name Japanese toilets (in part because they were popularized by the Japanese toilet company Toto who licensed the design from American inventor Arnold Cohen), and washlets, which is actually a registered trademark of Toto, can replace your standard seat but be used with the rest of the toilet. And then there are bidet attachments — these can be used with your current toilet, seat and all, but might require a bumper kit to fit property (we've included a link to one later).

Some bidet options are electric, others mechanical. Both seats and attachments require installation, but if you have a nearby electric outlet and modern plumbing, you won't need much beyond a wrench and maybe a screwdriver. These range in price, with features like heated seats, water pressure and temperature options, and remote control driving up the cost.

If you consider generally accepted stats about Americans' toilet paper usage — on average, we use around 141 rolls per year, and each roll costs 84 cents — we're spending about $118 per year, per person. That means if you live in a five-person household, this thing pays for itself in about a year. And, with features like three levels of water temperature, five levels of water pressure and air dryer, a temperature-controlled seat, and energy-saving mode, it certainly sounds like a lot more fun than its alternative. It even has something called PureStream that claims to help with constipation.
