Bidet attachments usually have a self-cleaning mode, ie you push a button and then it sprays water over the sprinkler.

I bought mine off Amazon for like $40 and it does that.

BTW I do clean mine now and then, and there is like, almost nothing to clean. Compared to e.g. my humidifier, that needs almost-daily cleaning.

Does it spray bleach or soap or just plain water? You wouldn't wash your hands with just water.


You wouldn't wash your hands with just toilet paper either.


Bleach? I would hope not. This is spraying your anus, which you should avoid using soaps (or holy shit, bleach?) and only use water or specific soaps. Same with your penis, which I hope you're not washing with regular soap (or bleach)


The bleach is for the sprayer not the sprayee.


Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying!


Cheap bidet attachments only spray water, fancier models spray water and soap, and blow-dry your butt.

Though, I guess the issue here is comparing bidet to no-bidet.

The bidet is so much better than TP only, it is not even close. Instead of feeling gross, you feel glorious, is what it is.
