The only time I have ever seen a bidet is on movies. When I think of using a bidet I cringe a little. I like to have a clean bum, but the thought of using a sink made just for cleaning your bottom area is not appealing to me whatsoever. For those that have no idea what a bidet is, its is a low-mounted plumbing fixture or sink that resembles a toilet that you straddle to wash your private parts after using the toilet.
Have you ever went to the bathroom in the dark, sat down to find out that maybe your husband didn’t put down the seat. If you have experienced this, you probably were pretty upset because I know I would be more than upset. I would also be WET which would not be fun. When I think of bidet, I think of bad experiences with water on the bum that I didn’t want to feel. For me, I prefer to use the Cottonelle Care Routine…..
With this enhanced clean routine, you use the Cottonelle Ultra Comfort Care Toilet Paper along with the Fresh Care Flushable Wipes. This routine was designed to leave your BUM feeling CLEAN & FRESH!

I have always been a fan of Cottonelle, it is a must, and the wipes are great too.
Jennifer says
We use the wipes all the time! Definitely prefer over a bidet, too! 😉

Our whole family uses the wipes – I originally bought them for my son who has Autism when he transitioned from pull ups to potty training, but now they are in all the bathrooms for everyone!
Amber Edwards says
Yeah, I don’t think I could use the bidet either! I mean, how are you suppose to dry off? I’m not going to be putting my clothes back on with a wet backside. And no way am I going to just sit there and drip dry!
I think I’ll stick with my Cottonelle wet wipes. I prefer them. I use them all the time.
Camille says
I bought flushable wipes when the kids were potty training… and never stopped buying them we liked them so much.

Cottonelle is my favorite TP, wipes, everything in the bathroom. I definitely prefer it to a bidet. I have never used one, but they just seem weird and potentially messy. LOL

Daisy says

We love Cottonelle! It’s sooooo soft.
Tara says
HaHa – how I love (not so much) bidets! The make you so – well wet! I totally prefer the Cottonelle wipes!

You are cracking me up with this post! My dad owned a house 10 years ago that had a bidet in addition to a toilet. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bidet here in the US (My dad’s in the UK).
Janel says
I totally agree, a soft cleansing cloth or freezing water.. um.. yeah.. no contest!
Angela says
I have one of the dispensers and it sits on the back of the commode. It’s so convenient and discreet.
Liz @ A Nut in a Nutshell says
I like that these are easily opened and grabbed with one hand.
Christy Garrett @ Uplifting Families says
I would fall in a bidet if it was in my house and it would be as if my husband left the seat up. I have to give him props, he does a great job at putting the seat down. 🙂
Janet W. says
I’d like to try the Gentle Care variety. These would really come in handy!
Kristyn says
i hate when my hubby leaves the toilet seat up! i have fallen in one to may times lol

Cottonelle wipes might be a good alternative, but they will add up to more than the cost of a bidet seat.
There are some bidet seats that cost $40. Sure these aren’t the nice fancy models and they use only cold water (room temperature not freezing), but those cottonelle wipes are what price? around 4-5 dollars? you get about 42 wipes with them. if you are lucky and only need to use 1 wipe per bathroom visit then you will use maybe 1-2 a day, depending if you had fajitas or not.
At one wipe per day, per person, if it is only you then these will last 42days, about a month and a half. If you live with another person who uses the wipe once per day, that is cut down to about 21 days.
This is just you and one other person, not including children and visitors. every 3 weeks you would spend another $4-5 on getting another 42 pack.
after about 7-8 months you would have already paid for a bidet seat.
Why not use all 3 for maximum hygiene? I use cottonelle with my bidet seat and i use 4 squares per bathroom visit. Other brands dont have the strength cottonelle does.
Betty Baez says
Every time i see a bidet i cringe i’ve seen over a handful in my lifetime and i wonder how could anyone willingly “clean” themselves with germ infested water from who knows (the person before you)…disgusting. I like cottonelle wipes!
Jake says
Thats like saying you dont want to wash your hands after someone washed theirs in a sink.
