The biggest life improvement for me was to get a bidet after reading about it on Reddit. It’s been a game changer. It’s so easy to clean up.
When I now have to go to a toilet without one I feel like a caveman. I bought the cheapest one Aliexpress, no bells or whistles, and installed it myself.
I have bought like 8 “lux neo 120” from Amazon for myself, friends, and family. Have converted everyone that tried one. Saved me during the TP shortage during COVID. Only had one fail after years of use and lux sent me a new one for free. They are not fancy with heat and blow drying, but they have adjustable pressure and self cleaning modes. Seeing it currently for $36 in the US.
For travel, I use the panasonic portable handy " DL-P300-A". Have taken it on 20 or so flights and numerous drives. Still on original AA batteries. Only downsides are small reservoir and pressure is on the weak side for me, but it is better than TP like a cave man. Seeing it for $80 on Amazon. Would recommend taking a water bottle when using it in public restrooms where you cannot access a sink for refills. Chose that one based on replaceable batteries and very compact for flights.
Ah didn’t know there were battery operated ones as well. Here in NZ there aren’t a lot of options. I see temu has some, for NZ25. Guess will give that a go. Thanks.
