People who use bidets will be the first to tell the uninitiated just how life-changing they are. I am one of those people — and so is Dr. Evan Goldstein, an anal surgeon and sexual-health and wellness expert who says there are multiple benefits to using one: “With bidets, we’re cleaning in a way that is much more strategic, less irritating, and environmentally helpful.” In other words, there’s nothing like water to cleanse your bottom after you’ve taken a trip to the loo. Plus you’ll use less toilet paper, saving you money — and a few trees — in the process. There’s a whole slew of models out there, from state-of-the-art bidets with multiple controls to basic ones that spray only cold water, but if you’re looking for something in between, consider the Tushy Spa 3.0, currently on sale for just $99. We named the basic model the best overall manual bidet for its ease of installation and use, and the Spa version is just as convenient. (Tushy claims that it takes under ten-and-a-half minutes to install.) This one, which requires access to your bathroom sink, lets you use both cool and warm water, which, as you can imagine, makes using a bidet that much more pleasant. It will fit on just about any type of toilet seat, comes with two knobs — one that controls the water temperature and one that controls water pressure — and has a nozzle adjuster for front and rear washing. For under $100, you’ll leave the bathroom feeling fresh and clean every single time.
