I did some travels in places where bidets are common, here’s my take:

• Egypt - basically a brass pipe targeted at your hole, everyone shitting oh it - no for me
• Italy - standalone, you have to jump over - impractical, takes too much space
• Japan/Korea - toilets from space, heated seat warm, water and dryer - comfy, but you need electricity, and if it fails, expensive
• Finland - a shower attached to the toilet’s water intake - just cold water, but it’s fine, that’s the easiest to install and use
