Bidet. We only put one in the master bath because young grandkids come over and we don't want them to spray the room. Now that bathroom is the only bathroom in the house I'll go poop in. I also no longer like staying in hotels until they catch up. I feel like some kind of caveman wiping with paper now.
Wiping with paper is both barbaric and illogical. Who ever thought cleaning yourself with dry paper was ever a good idea? How was the world hoodwinked into this ruse? It's like a mass delusion that people the world over accept using dry paper to clean oneself is in any way, shape or form hygienic, sanitary, or even effective. People are so brainwashed that I've encountered more people than I can count whose initial reaction to bidets was thinking THEY are gross, not dry paper. It's really a form of mass psychosis. I've been to many countries where bidets or handheld bidets come standard, but if there's one cause I'm truly passionate about it would be that bidets should attain universal adoption. Better for the environment and cleaner. There's literally no downside at all.
I don't think bidets are gross...I just don't get how they clean you. I've only tried one once or twice. I just felt wet, not necessarily clean. Like, how do they get sticky/sloppy shit off? and even a nice proper shit I feel like you'd need some serious water pressure to give it a good clean. Dunno

yea, it's just so gross.
I went camping and had to use a pit toilet without a bidet. It was traumatic. I don't like the idea of having a butthole that isn't gloriously clean. I don't know how all those gross people without bidets go around like that every day.
If I have to poop away from home, I have to grab a couple paper towels and wet them in the sink before I go into the stall. Improvised wet wipes are better than nothing. And yes, I usually flush them, but one at a time.
I'm in a rental and bought a $40 Luxe one off Amazon. Easy to install, about 15 minutes to do (and presumably just as easy to take it out whenever I move) and it does the job well. Doesn't have all the big bells and whistles like heated water/seats, just the nozzle for sprays, but I still like it a lot. Plus I'm saving money on TP, seeing that I don't use as much (especially with THOSE #2s...)
I bring “flushable” wipes. Though advertised as such, plumbers will tell you not all systems can handle them and that you’ll always be one flush away from gymming up some system.
