I’m just happy that the newest electrical code is allowing electrical outlets closer to bathtubs. Otherwise I’d never be able to have a powered bidet on my toilet.
I’d have to go look up the exact wording, and it’s on my drive that I don’t have hooked up right now. GFCI was required for any outlet in a bathroom, but there was still a ban up until the most recent edition on any outlet within the… shoot, the word/phrase escapes me, something like ‘shower space,’ which includes the area with four horizontal feet of the edge of the bathtub. I have a toilet right next to the shower/tub combo, and a door next to the toilet, which meant no outlet allowed near the toilet and thus no electrically powered bidet.
Had a bidet going into the pandemic. I’d bought a big (grocery store big, not Costco big) package sometime before the runs. I’m still not quite through that pack.
And then there are big brains with bidets

Did GFCI not allow for it?

We ran a power cord under the door. It is too important
As a European watching Japanese toilet technology I really do feel like a caveman sometimes.
Get one. Your bum will thank you for it

As a bum gun user, this. Never need the paper unless you want to pat to dry, and then the paper is clean anyway.
Toilet paper is for sneezing, picking up bugs, or dinner table napkins.
You can get fancy bidets that have blow dryers in them if you want the drying part
Wife is not a fan of bidets, I wonder if having a toilet do the same is reasonable? I donno never tried it but always wondered
