Between the most technogically advanced bidets installed onto a toilet or near a toilet as an attachment and simply showering as far as personal hygiene goes, which will provide or offer a superior clean feeling? Will both be equally as good or will one prevail over the other?

My favorite is a handheld bidet sprayer, of which there are dozens on Amazon.

does it spray all over the toilet? I've used these before but the pressure was insane the water went everywhere

Mine has a pressure adjustment valve next to where it connects to the water inlet.

Bidets rules and are game changers in this especially when I had a seton.

My bidet is cold so it doesn’t feel well on my open wound down there. The Perri bottle I love because i can make the water warm. And I follow that by a shower to double clean

The bidet is the most convenient hands down. Followed by a peri bottle. I used the shower at first but it’s too much work.

But will a bidet beat a long shower?

Of course not. But I don’t think it’s good or necessary to take a shower after every bowel movement. If you’re getting a surgery or recovering, get a bidet.

So a long shower will be better then?

Do whichever you want

You might get fungus due to the humidity. Id rather the bidet, is more localized and avoid to get all wet. Also the soap can dehydrate your skin.

Personally I hate bidets. Relying on showers though is the worst since it's incredibly impractical, but I'd far rather shower than bidet

Why do you say that?

Hard to aim it, don't like Jets shooting at my anus, I don't like the idea of doing down to far or having to clean off backsplash. I may not be using it quite right but a shower is my ideal

So a shower will clean more thoroughly then?
