9 Best Bidets for Every Bottom
Who needs toilet paper?
Last year, when Americans prepared to hunker down and stay home to prevent the spread of COVID-19, a few products became must-haves practically overnight. One of those was bidets of all types: bidet toilet seats, bidet attachments, travel bidet bottles, As toilet paper became harder to find on store shelves, people who had never considered using a bidet before were suddenly in search of the best bidet they could get their hands on. (Or should we say their bottoms?)
Soon enough, bidets also began to sell out, as consumers realized that they’re a superior alternative to toilet paper. Luckily, now that the height of pandemic panic-buying has passed, bidets are back in stock and readily available. Also luckily, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorites — so if you’re looking for the best bidet for your bottom, you’re in luck!

What is a bidet?
Basically, a bidet is a mini-bath for your nether regions, and back in the days when people used chamber pots — pre-toilet paper as we know it — they were absolutely essential. Beloved by Europeans for centuries (the French invented them in the 1600s), they’ve taken a while to catch on in the West.
Early bidets consisted of basins that could be straddled, allowing one to splash water over areas that needed freshening up. With advances in plumbing, they graduated to standalone bathroom fixtures with taps on the side, kind of like a sink in reverse. (Instead of spraying down, the stream of water shoots up.)
Nowadays, there are many types of bidets to choose from. The most popular ones are sold as attachments for your existing toilet, or as toilet seats with built-in sprayers, but there are also portable bidets, travel bidets, and handheld sprayer bidets.
Using a bidet may seem a little strange at first, but we predict that once you try it, you’ll find yourself hooked on the fresh, clean feeling that only a bidet can give you. Environmentally friendly and more sanitary than toilet paper, we think every bathroom should have one — and with the wide variety of styles available in a range of prices, there’s no reason they can’t.
