Why US Bathrooms Don’t Have Bidets

Bidets have been around for over 300 years. They're used worldwide and are more hygienic than just toilet paper. Why haven't they made it to the US?
While the video states the bidet originated in France and spread from there, South Asia, the Middle East, and nearby regions had been instilling a similar practice with items like lotas and shattafat as cleansing methods for centuries before that. Insider regrets the error.

My husband and I just got a bidet a few weeks ago for our half bath! We're waiting to get bidets for the other two bathrooms until we can get an electrician in to install new outlets near the toilet. Even for the half bath toilet, we have to use an extension cord, so not ideal. We still use a bit of TP to wipe afterward (we got one with a dryer, but it's not very effective, particularly for the front end), but still, not wiping so much on the backside is so nice! I can't wait until we have a bidet for every toilet. We're waiting until late fall or winter, since that's when the workload for electricians slow down (my mom works for an electrician office, so we get a discount and want to be a accommodating).

Plainly, I got fat and old and wiping became difficult, so I gave a bidet attachment a try. It was like 35 dollars and easy enough for me to install myself. It does have some drawbacks, and I still do use some TP, but less than half of what I used to use. It's definitely worth it.

Unfortunately, there is no point in complaining about wasting toilet paper to save the environment when how much you are using does not statistically and physically effect the rate at which trees are still being cut down to produce a new batch of toilet paper.
