Does anyone know what options exist for those who rent? I just have a travel attachment but it's more annoying to fill it up every time.

ok.....I'm intrigued. I've actually been using my kid's baby wipes because really, anything is better than dry TP. Looking at some options on Costco, seems the cheapy is just a hand-held thing for $80, then the seat-integrated ones are around $300 and up. Is the seat integration worthwhile? What about water temp? Is it basically a cold-shot to the butthole? That'll wake me up, no doubt.
I thought the cold shot to the hole was going to be horrible, but it's actually a little refreshing.

I've thought of getting at least a portable Bidet for a while (I rent, so can't really install a proper bidet). How easy are they to install?
For a bidet attachment like tushy it's just shut off the water, flush to drain toilet, remove seat, attach bidet and use the hose splitter for the water, and put seat back on over the bidet attachment.
Not sure I understand all of what you're saying, but sounds like I could fill in the blanks with a video tutorial. I'll have to take a look, thanks

OK, so, I actually did this a few months ago!
But, in my opinion, it is not a 100% replacement for toilet paper. First, everything gets wet after using-and if you're hairy like me you really do want to dry it, and I use TP to do that. Also, I've noticed that it doesn't always get everything-and using some TP to dry off is also a good way to make sure everything is clean.
And it also has a good bit of spray that will land on the seat and the bidet itself. You need to clean that off, I tend to do it with toilet paper when I stand up.
You won't stop using TP, but you'll certainly use less of it, I think I use about half as much now as before.

Bidets are great and should be more common in the US
Do you all have an electric outlet by your toilet to get heated water already? I'm interested in trying it out in my house, but don't want to run electric for it.
heated water is nice, but room temperature water direct from the pipes is not as cold as I expected. It's still much better than TP.
I tried one for the first time when I visit Finland in 2019. 10/10 would spray my ass again.
There are about a million people here all saying the same thing. It’s amazing, it’s better than you think, and once you use one, you will never ever go back.
It’s all true. When you poop in a public restroom or at a friends house without one, you will feel tainted.
In the winter if you’re worried about cold water, you should know the anus is not very temperature sensitive. I suppose because in our evolutionary past we did not use our anus much to sense the temperature of objects.
Another upvote for the Bidet. Super easy to install, I think mine was £40 and it's a life changer.
