why isn't the use of the bidet more widespread?

With my bathroom, the answer is simple. I would have to nail the bidet to the wall because of the lack of floor space, which would make it's use rather awkward.
All normal modern ones are just a simple toilet add on. Take up no space whatsoever.
That's actually what we plan to use when we rework the bathroom. But there is no space for a separate bidet on the floor.
My bidet cost ~$30 and took about 20 minutes to install to my existing toilet using basic tools. It's great. I highly recommend it to anyone .
I'd recommend taking a look at your plumbing first lol. I love my bidet, but I was not prepared to have to replace the horribly shitty 30 year old corrugated water lines that my toilet was installed with. That fucker was welded to the valve so I had to shut the water off for the whole house to install a new valve as well.
Still with it though lol
Who the fuck welds the line to the valve. Jesus butt cracker corn barrel roll skippy peanut butter. I put splitter valves on all mine now so we can hook up washlets without stress. One line to the toilet tank, one line to the bidet tank. Easy peasy. Also I try to make sure they're those "only have to turn them a quarter turn and they're on/off" valves forget what they're called. This has been plumbing corner with dude who's on the turd hole all day
Fucking beats me lmao. Also recently upgraded my kitchen faucet, but it was long enough after putting in my bidet that I completely forgot about then until I was about to the ten minute job of swapping them out. Took 4 hours cause I had to go back to the hardware store to get new valves and wrench the rusty as fuck old valves off. I would hate being a plumber lol
Also they're called "quarter turn valves" lol
Really? I'd've called em chazzwozzers
Is your toilet a urinal then? I imagine that's already awkward to shit in.
Well, the toilet is still a toilet, but there is no space to add a bidet, too.
But I'm thinking about getting a Japanese-style hightech toilet when we redo the bathroom. Which would have a bidet included.
