    Even a minimally featured bidet will at least soften things up and make wiping more effective.

    I used a tushy bidet to start, which is pretty cheap and easy to get going and get comfortable with it. I would recommend the warm water options, but you need to have a sink nearby to steal the warm water from. Fancier warm water bidets have an instant water heater, so you don’t need a hot water tap, just power.

    I have since upgraded to one with all the features, and here’s how my process typically goes:

    1. Sit down on heated seat
    2. Push out what I can
    3. Using the remote, turn on low pressure heated water with pulsating mode. I can also move the spray back/forth with the remote to get everything.
    4. Switch to high pressure for a moment. That has enough pressure to get up in there a bit, which seems to lubricate/soften any parts that didn’t come out through sheer effort earlier.
    5. Pause, push out one more time
    6. Go back to low pressure to tidy up
    7. Turn on blow dryer for a bit, or dry off with TP if I’m in a hurry.
