When Steve was struggling to wipe his own behind because of his arm weakness, we decided to try a bidet. It worked very well. We installed bidets in both of our upstairs bathrooms. When researching bidets, we decided to go with the midrange options. We did splurge on a nicer model for the master bathroom. The key difference is warm water. We spent more on this option and a higher rated bidet. We recommend that you research the options and prices to find the best choice for you. Be sure to keep an eye out for sales.
Here are some of the features we liked:
