I realize this is very stupid, but I have some very weird psychological stuff going on when it comes to toilets, what goes into them, etc. And something about bidets really disgusts me. I realize there is absolutely nothing rational about that. It should be the exact opposite.
Do your own thing! Was just a suggestion. I ignored them for years because “how weird is that” but once COVID forced my hand I was like “holy shit could’ve had one of these my whole life”!
But I had a girlfriend who tried it hated it. So they aren’t everyone’s deal for sure.
A bidet is like a great mattress: when you finally get one, you wonder wtf took you so long.
But unlike a great mattress, a bidet is simple and less than 50 bucks (Canadian even!)
Just get one, put it on and use it yourself, you can get one that spins on the supply line and hangs off the side of the tank for like $40. Once you've started washing your asshole instead of suffering with TP and a constantly dirty chocolate starfish, you'll never go back. She might use it and realize the same.
Why not just get one? I did and my wife is hesitant so she doesn't use it but me having and using it doesn't affect her at all. I think it was only $30 or $40 on Amazon.
Edit: saw your reply about sharing the bathroom with young kids and yes that could easily be an issue.
I use a bidet, then two sets of two squares. First one to get most of the water, the second to clean the crevice. Then, I keep a bunch of white cotton 9"x9" towels folded on top of the reservoir, and use one of those to do a final thorough clean + dry. Toss it in a slim laundry bin I keep in the bathroom just for this purpose. Works great. I honestly think I've stumbled upon the best method for washing ones rear.
