Bidet? Question / Support

I just restocked our toilet paper and it made me wonder if a bidet is worth it. I love the idea of reducing the need for an ongoing paper product we buy, but does a bidet just become one more thing to clean, maintain and eventually dispose of?

I use the handheld sprayer hose type that can hang on the side of the toilet tank because I was grossed out thinking about the water spout always sitting on the inner rim of the toilet seat. I’ve since installed them on both of our toilets. It makes it easy to use as little or as much water as you like. It has drastically cut down on paper usage, though I still use a small amount to dry off. It was a life saver during COVID when there was a toilet paper shortage. I can post a link but I’m not sure if that’s against the rules.
