I have wondered what the math of a bidet is. Decent ones cost a few hundred bucks. When does the TP saving win out? How long do bidets last?

    There are cheap ones that just connect to the water line between your toilet and the tank and they're like 20 bucks and they'll last you a couple years.

    It takes a little getting used to the cold water spray, but I mean if you're that desperate that you're calculating the 30 cent difference per roll, then it might be worth the investment.

    Honestly bidets are super fancy but you could just go with a "bum gun." Little gentle water sprayer you attach to your toilet line and voila. Got mine for like $20-$30 or something.

    Quite incredible. So much that I'm miffed this isn't a standard expected thing on toilets.

    Personally I started using like. 75% less TP once I got a bidet. Combined with spending $30 on the bidet itself, that's easy savings.

    You can get a cheap one for like $25-50 and install it yourself (pretty easy, not actual plumbing, just screwing and unscrewing a few things) and they're fine. The more expensive ones have heated water, but you don't need that. I eventually sprang for a "nicer" one, but now I feel that was unnecessary. Maybe I'm a freak, but I prefer the cold water anyway.
