  1. I grew up mocking the "seashells" from Demolition Man (America's only major pop culture bidet reference), but when I briefly lived in Japan, my mind was changed. I live in the mountains where the water is as cold as a death row inmate whose last appeal has been denied, and I put a basic thirty dollar unpowered unit in my commode. To my shock and surprise, it was actually fine. It's nothing like stepping into the shower with that Stygian water, so I never bothered to upgrade to a heated one. Even in the dead of winter, I don't care, and I have become that sissy that runs the shower to get it hot before I step in. I buy a pack of tp once or twice a year to dry up at the end, and I haven't used a plunger in almost a decade. Better yet, if you get the runs, you will cry at how much more gentle the bidet is than even the cushiest tp after your fourteenth trip to the bathroom of the night. Try a cheap one, worst case scenario, you're out less than fifty bucks and maybe two hours of time to install and then remove it. It will make you weak and dependent, but you will love it all the same.
