Americans haven’t always been privy to the wonders of bidets, but around the world, they’ve been a mainstream bathroom fixture and a necessary part of grooming for centuries. Recently, however, they have risen in popularity here. Once you try one out, you may never want to go back to toilet paper alone.
Bidets utilize a nozzle that directs a stream of water toward your rear, in order to rinse the area after going to the bathroom. While your bathroom may not be equipped with a standalone bidet, you can snag a bidet attachment to get the same effect. The best bidet attachments provide the same capabilities as their standalone counterparts—plus they are more affordable and easier to install. More simplistic models allow for basic washing, but others offer more state-of-the-art features, such as air dryers, heated seats, and deodorizers.
After hours of research, we gathered over 20 of the top-rated bidet attachments on the market and put them through their paces at home for two weeks, so we could see how they performed in real-world environments. We evaluated them by their setup, ease of use, effectiveness, and value during our testing period, and we compiled this list of the top models for every setup and budget.

Omigo Element+ Bidet Attachment
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/omigo-element--bidet-attachment-f8dc71b5b20344cebd52c57af065d555.jpg)
Omigo
Dual front and rear nozzles
Quick and simple installation
Sleek and minimal design
Uncomplicated controls
Can only connect to warm water if toilet is near a sink
Of the 20-plus bidet attachments we tested, the Omigo Element+ Bidet Attachment hit the mark on all fronts. For one, we found the setup to be extremely simple and straightforward: with two people, the bidet took just ten minutes to install, and while instructions were available, they were not needed. Because this model is a non-electric attachment with temperature control, it’s important to note that installation requires access to a nearby sink’s warm water line.
We also found the operation for the Omigo Element+ to be uncomplicated and easy to use, as the attachment comes with just two large labeled knobs: one for temperature control and the other for water pressure. We were impressed by the model’s effectiveness, as it performed as promised and even offered dual nozzles for rear and front wash. The rear nozzle works as any standard bidet, while the front wash setting angles the water stream slightly forward and has a softer spray pattern designed to reach the feminine area. These features left us feeling exceptionally clean as though we had just stepped out of the shower. After using the bidet, we simply dried off using a bit of toilet paper. The nozzles are also retractable and self-cleaning, allowing for an extremely hygienic experience.
In addition to its top-notch performance, the slim and minimal design of the unit makes it an unobtrusive and discreet addition to any bathroom. The Omigo Element+ features internal components that are made with brass and ceramic and are available in white, black, copper, and gold to match your bathroom finishes. At under $60, we think this non-electric bidet is a steal considering all of its premium features.

Bio Bidet
Quick and simple installation
Rear and front wash settings
Intuitive controls
Choice of multiple knob finishes
No warm water
Included flexible pipe can be an eyesore
If you’re in the market for a budget-friendly bidet, the Bio Bidet by Bemis Essential Toilet Attachment offers a whole lot of value for an affordable price. During setup, we found that the instructions were clear and easy to follow, and only a wrench was needed in the process. When testing the bidet, we noted that the product’s controls are extremely straightforward, as it includes one large knob that controls the water pressure and switches between the rear and front wash settings.
This bidet doesn’t offer premium features like temperature control, but we still found it to be effective, and it even became a part of our daily routine. The Essential Toilet Attachment lived up to its expectations and left us feeling squeaky clean. And while it does not have all the bells and whistles of more expensive models, it's simple to install and does get the job done. This model doesn't provide the luxury of warm water, but for those who don’t have access to a sink or outlet near their toilet, this is a high-quality pick.
While this bidet attachment has a generally low-profile design, we did find that the included flexible pipe that connects to the water tank is a bit unsightly. However, considering its successful performance and cost-effective price tag, we think the Essential Attachment has a lot of value and is a worthwhile purchase you’ll get a ton of use out of.

Extensive and easily customizable settings

Quick and simple setup
Heated toilet seat
Pricey
Needs a convenient outlet to install
For a bidet that delivers on luxury, look no further than the Bemis Bio Bidet BB-1000 Supreme Bidet Seat. With a host of features that create a spa-like experience, this electric bidet seat is a top-tier pick for those willing to shell out a little extra cash for a premium experience. During setup, we found that the instructions were very clear and the process went seamlessly, only taking around five to ten minutes to install. However, it’s important to consider that all electric bidets require a nearby outlet in order to operate.
As we used this bidet, we found that it took a bit of trial and error in order to find the spray strength and nozzle direction that worked for us, but some experimentation tends to be standard when trying out new bidets. Actually controlling the bidet’s multitude of functions, though, was extremely straightforward given the user-friendly remote control. We were impressed by just how extensive the BB-1000 Supreme Bidet Seat’s capabilities were, and we absolutely loved the heated toilet seat, drying function, and temperature control. Additional features include adjustable pressure and nozzle position, slow closing lid, eco-friendly mode, and a three-in-one nozzle for rear, front, and vortex wash settings.
While this bidet seat may come at a steep price point, we still think it has a ton of value with the model’s abundance of deluxe features. Considering the amount of time we spend on the toilet, it’s an investment that’s definitely worth the splurge!

Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus Bidet Attachment

Easy and customizable settings using simple controls
Retractable nozzles
Convenient self-cleaning mode
Somewhat confusing installation instructions
Control panel awkwardly close to toilet seat
When it comes to bidets, having more control over the water temperature and pressure can be key to having a pleasant and effective cleaning experience. The Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus Bidet Attachment is designed with a dial and lever to control both, which means you can tailor the settings to your preferences. During installation, we found the given setup directions to be a bit confusing and had to refer to an instructional video to help us out. Once we did, though, we were able to install the bidet attachment in about ten minutes. The Neo 320 Plus features a slide-in installation that’s compatible with most toilet seats, eliminating the need to remove the toilet seat during setup.
The bidet’s controls were uncomplicated and easy to navigate, as the unit is equipped with a lever that adjusts the water temperature and pressure, as well as a mode selection knob for rear and front wash options. However, note that although the bidet attachment was installed correctly, the control panel was situated uncomfortably close to the toilet to the point where it poked our tester when she sat down. So despite the easy adjustability of the Neo 320 Plus, its design may not be suitable for all body types.
Post-wash, we noted its impressive effectiveness, as it got the job done and performed well. We also appreciated the model’s retractable dual nozzles, self-cleaning mode, and guard gate protection that acts as a barrier between the nozzles and everything else in the toilet.

Extensive and easily customizable settings

Expensive
When it comes to premium features, there’s no arguing that electric bidets reign supreme. The Neo Luxe Bidet Luxelet E850 Electronic Bidet offers just about everything you’d want from a bidet seat, ensuring a luxurious cleaning experience. While setting up the unit, we were impressed by how incredibly easy the process was. Instructions were clear and easy to follow, so installation took around ten minutes to complete.
Equipped with an intuitive panel with labeled buttons that are well laid out, we appreciated how straightforward the controls were during testing. Bidets can be daunting for first-timers, so we appreciate how abundantly clear it was to adjust its settings.
Most high-quality bidets offer rear and front wash modes, spray strength and water temperature adjustments, and sometimes nozzle position controls. The Luxelet E850 does all of those things and more, going above and beyond with unique features like a built-in night light, seat and dryer temperature control, and even a massage mode where the stream alternates between hot and cold water.
The Luxelet E850 is on the pricier end of this list, but that’s a given considering its lavish capabilities. And during our tests, we found that each feature delivered in terms of performance. It's not cheap, but compared to what you'll pay for a high-end washlet or smart toilet, we think this is well worth the cost.

Intuitive spraying mechanism for more control
Good water pressure
Inconspicuous and sleek design
Requires flexible water supply line
Setup could’ve been easier
A handheld bidet attachment like this one gives you ultimate control. You manage the pressure with the touch of a button, and because you hold it, you decide exactly where the water sprays. The Brondell CleanSpa Luxury Handheld Bidet in Silver includes a stainless steel hand sprayer and holster and all other accessories needed for a standard installation. We were able to set up this bidet in around 35 minutes, and the instructions were pretty straightforward and included both text and illustrations as guides as well as troubleshooting tips. However, assembling the spray holster wasn’t as straightforward as setting up the rest of the model.
This handheld bidet was extremely intuitive and easy to use–just pull the lever on the T-valve to the “on” position, push down on the sprayer to release the stream, and when you’re done rinsing, situate the T-valve lever back to the “off” position. Despite having to reach down to open and close the T-valve, we found this easy to maneuver while sitting. The manufacturer recommends keeping the T-valve closed when not in use, but we didn't notice any leaking when the T-valve was open. The sprayer itself has a spring-loaded lever and the harder you push, the more intense the water pressure is. We found the Brondell Handheld Bidet to be extremely effective, performing very well with plenty of water pressure.

Whisper Bidets
Quick and simple installation
Easy-to-use controls
Convenient self-cleaning mode
Not the most extensive capabilities
For those who lack the handiness to deal with a complicated installation process, the Whisper Bidet Self-Cleaning Attachment blew us away with just how simple the setup was. This bidet attachment came with an instruction manual that broke the process down into easy steps that any bidet novice can handle. The beauty in the Whisper Attachment’s control lies in its simplicity, as the mechanism employs a single knob that controls the water pressure and self-cleaning nozzle rinse.
In addition to the aforementioned features, we love Whisper Attachment’s simple and sleek design and full-length nozzle sprayer shield. While this bidet may not have the most extensive capabilities compared to other models we tested, not everyone requires the abundant (and at times superfluous) features that many higher-end models provide. It’s still extremely effective in its basic functions, and we loved just how clean it left us. It's exactly what you would want out of a basic bidet, and it's a great value for the price. This product isn't as flashy as some other options, but it gets the job done, boasts an easy and straightforward installation, and won’t break the bank.

Simplistic yet effective

Whether you don’t have an accessible outlet near your toilet or just want a simple bidet with basic functionality, the American Standard 5900A05G.020 Aqua Wash Non-Electric Bidet Seat is our favorite non-electric pick that’s both effective and sleek. We found the setup to be simple and quick, as the unit came with a helpful stencil that helped us figure out how and where to place the seat. While this bidet has fewer frills than most, it also doesn’t require anything other than a clean water tank connection.
Of all the control systems we tested, this one may have been the simplest to operate with just a manual lever that adjusts the spray volume. In addition, this bidet also includes self-cleaning dual nozzles for front and rear washing as well as a convenient slow-close lid. And although its list of features ends there, this is a great pick for those who prefer a more modest option. We like the product because of its simplicity, as there’s just a lever that clicks when it’s in the off position, so you don't have to worry about leaving the water running. Our tester, who was a first-time bidet user, was surprised with how well the model worked and said she’d even consider purchasing more for other toilets in her house.

The setup of the bidet was fairly simple, considering just how many bells and whistles it has, and we were able to have the bidet seat up and running in under 20 minutes. However, on some toilets, this model may look a bit bulky if it doesn’t fit perfectly.
The TOTO toilet offers a control panel with large, straightforward buttons that are clearly labeled so you know exactly what’s coming. You can tailor just about every setting to your liking, including the pressure, spray position, and the temperatures of the seat, water, and dryer. The model provides three spray settings for even more customization: rear, soft rear, and front wash. In addition, the bidet seat offers oscillating features, an energy saver option, and wand cleaning. We were impressed with just how well each function worked, and we loved how clean it left us. If you’re picky about your bidets, the TOTO is definitely worth the splurge since every little detail can be adjusted to your personal preferences.

If you’re in the market for a bidet seat over a bidet attachment, you’ll want to ensure the seat is compatible with the shape of your toilet. Best suited for rounded toilets, the Kohler 76923-0 Puretide Toilet Seat Bidet is a quality pick that should fit seamlessly. Setting up the bidet took about 45 minutes to complete, and the instructions were helpful other than a minor hiccup during installation. The bidet seat also includes a quick-release hinge that allows the seat to be easily unlatched for a seamless and convenient removal, which can be especially helpful if you clean your bathroom often.
Using the bidet was simple, as the controls consisted of one side handle that could control both the position and water pressure. We found the bidet seat’s performance incredibly effective, and we felt exceptionally clean post-wash. In addition to position and pressure adjustability, the Puretide Toilet Seat Bidet also provides a self-cleaning wand that rinses itself after each use, as well as a soft-close lid for added convenience. We also loved the inconspicuous look of the model, as it wasn’t an eyesore and will blend into most toilet fixtures. The design of the seat itself was also impressive, as it features an ergonomic design and grip-tight bumpers that prevent the seat from moving around and add stability.

For anyone with an elongated toilet, the ALPHA BIDET JX Elongated Bidet Toilet Seat is our favorite compatible model of all the options we tested. We found some parts of the installation process to be somewhat difficult at times, as some instructions were unclear and confusing. Additionally, we noticed that the T-valve didn’t attach well to the supply line, so we had to resort to using plumber's tape to secure them to one another. Despite some setbacks, the entire process took around 20 to 30 minutes to complete, and ultimately, its luxurious features made up for the somewhat frustrating installation process.
This remote-controlled model offers front and rear wash options, nozzle oscillation, air drying mode, a built-in nightlight, and a self-cleaning nozzle. Additionally, you can easily adjust the seat, water, and drying temperatures to your liking. We appreciate that the remote is very easy to understand and use, as the labeling on the buttons is easy to figure out without referring to the instructions. Our tester's six- and eight-year-old kids even figured out how to use it! Overall, this bidet seat worked well, and we loved how quickly this electric model heated up the water. While this unit might be pricey, we think that the added features make this effective bidet seat worth the splurge for anyone with an elongated toilet.

We also love the Bio Bidet by Bemis Essential Toilet Attachment for an even more affordable choice, as its simple installation, front and rear wash settings, and intuitive controls add a ton of value to this low-cost pick.
How We Tested the Bidet Attachments
After researching the most beloved, top-rated bidet attachments currently on the market, we tested 21 options in our homes for one month, so we could see how they performed in real-world environments and situations. Following the given instructions, each bidet attachment option was unboxed and installed. We then assessed the bidet’s setup, paying attention to how time-intensive it was to install, if there were any specific compatibility needs, and how challenging it was to attach the bidet to a water source.
Once each bidet was set up, we rated its ease of use, taking note of how intuitive and simple the controls were. To gauge the bidet's effectiveness, we judged how clean we felt after usage and whether or not any extra features performed as promised. Finally, we assessed the bidet's value by comparing the retail price with the product's overall quality. We analyzed each product’s scores and insights, along with our supplemental research, to compile this list of the bidet attachments we think are the best.
What to Look for in a Bidet Attachment
Power
While both electric and non-electric bidet attachments can get the job done, electric bidets like our Best Electric pick, the Neo Luxe Bidet Luxelet E850 Electronic Bidet, tend to be more high-end, offering extensive features that non-electric bidets likely won’t have.
Electric bidets, while usually more expensive than non-electric models, may offer features like heated seats, air drying, and even built-in nightlights. Many come with an intuitive control panel or remote for easy adjustment. Non-electric bidets like our Best Non-Electric choice, the American Standard AquaWash 1.0 Non-Electric SpaLet Bidet Seat, are typically more straightforward, usually without any added capabilities beyond adjusting temperature and water pressure. Additionally, they may rely on knobs or switches to control them.
When deciding between an electric and non-electric bidet, consider your price range and your expectations. If you don’t want to pay more for all of the bells and whistles offered by electric bidets, non-electric bidets are simple and effective. If you’re willing to splurge a bit more on premium features, opt for an electric one.
Type
The main difference between a bidet attachment and a bidet seat is that while the bidet seats replace your existing toilet seat, bidet attachments usually fit between your existing toilet seat and the bowl. Bidet attachments tend to be non-electric and bidet seats can be either electric or non-electric.
Pressure and Temperature
While some bidets may come with one standard pressure and temperature option, many higher-end models like our Best Splurge pick, the Bemis Bio Bidet BB-1000 Supreme Bidet Seat, offer adjustable settings, including pressure and temperature controls. Having full control of the bidet’s water pressure can be especially helpful for those who may be sensitive in their nether regions and want to ensure the stream isn’t too strong for their liking.
Temperature adjustability can allow for a more comfortable and luxurious experience while using a bidet, as cold water can feel somewhat harsh or unpleasant for some users. For a warm water option, look for a bidet attachment that offers temperature control, such as the Omigo Element+ Bidet Attachment, our Best Overall choice. This will mean that the attachment has to be connected to the hot and cold water supply lines—which could mean running a water line to your sink. While choosing a bidet with only ambient water temperature may offer a more convenient setup, some people prefer the option to use warmer water.
Dual Wash
Some bidet attachments have one nozzle with a broader spray pattern to clean as much as possible, while others feature dual nozzles, which have two wands each with its own nozzle. One nozzle is angled toward your rear while the other is pointed toward the front, which is sometimes labeled as a “feminine wash” setting. Often this setting allows for a gentler and wider stream for thorough cleaning. This can be beneficial for women who are postpartum, menstruating, or have any vaginal irritation or inflammation. Alternatively, you can look for a model with a two-in-one nozzle (two nozzles on a single wand) or a bidet with a single nozzle with adjustable angles to make sure that you can position the water stream into a practical position. Also, be sure to take note of whether the nozzle is retractable and has antibacterial properties for sanitary purposes.
Installation Requirements
Installing a bidet may seem daunting, but the process is actually relatively beginner-friendly and doesn’t require much equipment or tools. Both electric and non-electric bidet attachments require a connection to a clean water tank. However, electric models also require a nearby outlet and non-electric models only require an accessible sink if you opt to utilize temperature control. You’ll want to consider the layout of your bathroom before deciding which type of bidet to purchase.
-
What is a bidet attachment?
Bidet attachments utilize a sprayer to direct a stream of water toward your rear in to thoroughly clean the area after going to the bathroom. A simple bidet attachment will connect to your toilet water supply valve and be placed between the toilet seat and the toilet. Using the nozzle or remote control that came with your attachment, you can turn on the stream of water to rinse yourself off. There are some bidet attachments that are equipped with extra features to help control the angle, water temperature, water pressure, and more.
-
What are the benefits of using a bidet attachment?
Compared to toilet paper alone, there are many reasons to get a bidet. One of the primary benefits of bidets is that they can help you spend less money on toilet paper since they eliminate the need to fully wipe. Some models even feature a built-in air dryer to require even less toilet paper.
-
Do bidet attachments heat the water?
Not all bidet attachments offer temperature control, but many do. Both electric and non-electric bidets may access warm water, but the heating systems can differ between the two. While many non-electric bidet attachments require a hot water hook-up to the sink, electric bidet attachments typically use a warm water tank, instant heater, or some hybrid of the two.
-
Do bidet attachments need electricity?
Only electric bidets require a nearby outlet in order to operate. The electricity typically works to power convenience features like seat heating, air drying, and nightlights. If there isn’t one accessible near your toilet, there are plenty of non-electric models that provide the same basic functions without the need for electricity.
-
What is the difference between a bidet, bidet attachment and a bidet toilet seat?
Bidets, bidet attachments, and bidet toilet seats all share the same function: to provide sanitary cleansing after going to the bathroom using a nozzle that directs a stream of water toward your rear. A traditional bidet refers to a wash basin that’s a separate fixture from the toilet, and installing one typically requires a more intensive process than a bidet attachment or seat. In contrast, a bidet attachment sits between the existing toilet seat and the toilet, usually offering water spray options and adjustable pressure, while some are even self-cleaning. Bidet seats, however, replace the toilet seat altogether and can offer more premium features like a heated seat, air dryer, or deodorizer.

To compile this list, she consulted lab testing insights, assessed numerous customer reviews, and conducted supplemental research about the topic. All of the products in this roundup met our quality standards during the research process and performed the best during our lab tests.
What Is The Spruce Approved?
Here at The Spruce, we want to ensure we fully stand behind every product we recommend and that when we say something is the best, we mean it. You might have noticed The Spruce Approved badge next to the products on this list. Every product with this badge has been rigorously tested in person and carefully selected by our expert team of lab testers and editors. In most cases, we buy all these products ourselves, though occasionally, we get samples provided to us directly by companies. No matter how we procure products, they all go through the same tests and must meet the same strict criteria to make the best-of cut.
