I got a sizable number of questions about bidets last night, from men and women. So, let's discuss genitals, booties, bidets, & bathroom hygiene here in the US. This is going to be a little graphic, but also a judgment-free zone.
Here in the USA, most home's bathroom hygiene routine, after urinating and/or pooping, consists of wiping with toilet paper. Some people use moist wipes too. However, the average American person does not use water. The rest of the world does.
This begs the question: how would one use water after relieving themselves? And why is the necessary? Would this make a mess? Is this sanitary?
Rinsing down there with water is an excellent and gentle way to get rid of the natural bacteria that comes in contact with the genitals and the butthole.
Bidets do a lot of heavy lifting in getting rid of poo & bacteria. They help to get rid of bacteria that can end up in the urethra and cause a UTI. Rinsing the butthole allows you to PAT it dry, instead of RUBBING it dry. Patting instead of rubbing prevents hemorrhoids.
There are bidet seats, with the technology built into the bowl. Those are very expensive and you have to replace the whole toilet bowl. Most of us are not going to do that, though, so you'll want to look into a bidet ATTACHMENT.
Here is mine. It looks like a little handle on the side of the toilet.
The technology that does the rinsing is quite inconspicuous. You still can't really see what's going on with the lid open. However, under that white flap are two little tubes that, when the silver switch is flipped, shoot water.
Most bidets have two tubes: one angled to rinse the butthole and one angled to rinse the vulva. It's just a slight angular difference.
Now, how does it actually work? The water is angled around 45° to literally rinse your butt or vagina. (This is my cleaning cup. It lives under the sink and has never seen the kitchen.)
In the video the water seems aggressive, but you can control how soft or powerful the stream of water is. This water is NOT coming from the toilet bowl. It is hooked up to the same pipe that your shower and sink use.
Some attachments allow you to control the temperature and have a warm stream of water. Mine does not. I don't mind cool water. I have a $40 Veken bidet. I know nothing about plumbing and I successfully installed it in 10 minutes. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082HFS8KT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nyfoFb86TSW2P
They seem to range between $30 and $100. Again, I am happy with my $40 bidet. I didn't need anything fancy.
I have been putting people onto bidets for years, and men really, really love them. Men disproportionately suffer from hemorrhoids, and bidets make booty care very easy, gentle and pleasant. The bidet can completely clean that bootyhole.
No, it does not get your legs wet. No, it does not carry bootyhole stuff to your vagina. You can still use toilet paper to pat the area dry. Even if you throw wet wipes in the trash instead of flushing, they're still a burden to our garbage system.
Live in a rented home or apartment? Bidet installation requires no manipulation of anything really. You unscrew one pipe and that's it.
Will it increase your water bill? Maybe by like 50¢, lol. It's a trickle of water that you'll probably use for 5-10 seconds each time you do use it.
Lastly, do I have any complaints? Just one: after installing the bidet, there is a small gap between the toilet lid and the bowl. It is only noticeable when you bend down, though. This is what I'm talking about:
If you menstruate, bidets really, really, really make life so much better during those heavy flow days. You know what I'm talking about. 
In conclusion, bidet attachments help you reach a higher level of bathroom hygiene. You're cleaning the vulva and butthole far more efficiently than you do with toilet paper only. You're helping to prevent UTIs and hemorrhoids. You're reducing wet wipes in pipes & landfills.
If you enjoy having your ass ate during sexytime, you want to present a healthy, clean, sparkly booty to the eater. I hope you will consider a bidet attachment in your home. 
(My DMs are open for question. Please don't get spicy.)
