I've had the Tushy bidet for a couple years now and it's great! Overall it has made me feel a lot more hygienic and I only use a small amount of TP to dry off now.

Seconding this. I bought this one: https://www.amazon.com/Greenco-Non-Electric-Mechanical-Toile...

Works great and doesn't require electricity. Previously had an expensive one that had extra features like water/seat heating, but honestly the cheap one is fine.

Squatty Potty is good too and has hilarious ads :)

How is that any better than just spreading the cheaks before sitting and resting the elbows on the knees?

Serious question. I just think good toilet etiquette/hygiene is not being taught. For example, wipe any sweat and hairs off the seat before putting the lid down (or seat up if no lid) before flushing.

Upvoted. It's the only way to go for me now. I got the $37 model. You can buy direct or from amazon.

Is there some issue with the cold water? If you live in a cold climate? Asking for a friend :D

You can just ask for yourself, this is HN not Reddit. You get used to the cold after a few uses, but there are luxury models that allow temperature control.

Where I live, the ubiquitous variant is attached to the faucet on your washbasin, so you get to set any temperature you want. (Most lavatories have the washbasin close enough to the throne that you only need to lean forward a bit; can get awkward in handicap toilets though.)

You would think having cold water applied to your underside would be uncomfortable, but it's not really. Sure, its a bit of a shock sometimes but you get used to it. And honestly, not having to wipe (and wipe and wipe) is 100% worth it.
