If improved hygiene and reduced toilet paper waste weren't convincing enough reasons to buy a bidet for your bathroom, bidet attachments make it even easier to test the waters. In contrast to a pricier full bidet unit, bidet-toilet combo, or a bidet seat, an attachment simply installs onto your water line and mounts underneath your existing toilet seat.
We put bidet attachments to the test ourselves, equipping our home toilets with different models. We installed, sprayed, and adjusted attachments with nozzles beneath the seat, plus a few handheld sprayer variations, to find the best of the bunch.
While most of the attachments we tested were easy to install and operate, we found we liked those with clear instructions and a quick setup process best along with controls that gave us no trouble or confusion. We also found the best bidet attachments include extra features to help rinse the nozzles, clean your toilet, and offer warm water sprays to get you neat and tidy after you go.
Our Top Picks
Best Overall
Omigo Element+
Dual nozzles with pressure control
Warm water option with temperature knob
Built-in splash guard and self-cleaning mode
Multiple elegant style options
Hot water requires nearby sink connection
No left-handed configuration
The Omigo Element+ from Brondell delivers all the strong bidet performance we look for, at an attractive price point often made even more compelling by discounts. In our tests, the dual-nozzle setup offered excellent sanitation via a strong "rear" wash and gentler "front" stream, and the adjustable pressure control knob was very user-friendly.
We also loved how smartly designed this bidet attachment is. When not in use, the nozzles retract up behind a small shield that protects against splashes. You can also rinse off the spray elements using the nozzle-cleaning mode.
Like with most bidet attachments, installation is straightforward—it took us just 10 minutes with two people. It doesn't need any electrical connection and fits most standard toilet types. You have to remove your toilet seat to put the unit in place, but you can easily uninstall the whole setup later if needed (a big plus for rental properties.)
Accessing cold water is as simple as attaching a short hose and T-valve below your toilet's water tank. To take advantage of warm water, though, you'll need a sink close enough to supply hot water and connect a tube to. This may not be easily achieved in all bathroom layouts, so while the adjustable water temperature is a welcome comfort, some may be fine with the single-temp Omigo Element variation.

Best Budget
Samodra Bidet Attachment
Dual nozzles with pressure control
Built-in splash guard and self-cleaning mode
Slim, modern design
No hot water option
Some issues with water pressure and splash
Even though Samodra's non-electric bidet attachment is one of the more budget-friendly options available, we found it to be an effective, frill-free upgrade for any toilet. It primarily uses buttons to switch between its front- and rear-wash nozzles and self-cleaning mode. The controls were simple enough that three generations of women in our test household were able to operate it without any issues.
There's an additional knob that turns in either direction to adjust the water pressure, and while the spray strength seemed weak at times, we had no complaints about its cleaning capabilities. Some water did splash onto the seat on occasion as we got accustomed to the spray's positioning.
We were able to install four main parts of the Samodra attachment in under 20 minutes. It's possible to hand-tighten everything, but we used a wrench we had on-hand for more secure fits. The unit is designed to work with most one- or two-piece toilets, with a very thin 0.19-inch profile to minimize its presence. Not having a hot water option further helps simplify the setup, at the cost of some extra comfort.

Best for Beginners
Tushy Classic 3.0
Adjustable pressure and spray angle
Especially easy to install with live support available
Many attractive design options
Pricier than similar options
Only one nozzle
No hot water option
New bidet users in particular may appreciate how the Tushy brand doesn't take itself too seriously, using language for the Tushy Classic 3.0's instructions that's a bit cheeky, if you will. The bidet features a buildup-resistant surface and rotating flanges designed to very easily attach to almost any toilet.
It's billed as taking 8.5 minutes to install, but we struggled a bit with removing our toilet seat and replacing it on top of the attachment—if you have installation questions, Tushy offers on-demand assistance from one of their support gurus (a "Poo-Ru") via phone, video, or e-mail.
Operating the bidet is newbie-friendly, too, with just one pressure control knob and a small toggle to adjust the angle of the water stream. We found the angle adjustment to be minimal and would have appreciated a dedicated front-wash nozzle, but we still felt sufficiently tidied. The spray stays well-contained within the bowl, and the nozzle rinses itself automatically.
As a downside, the Tushy Classic 3.0 is noticeably more expensive than many similar attachments, even ones with added features like dual nozzles or temperature control, so it felt to us like some chunk of cost goes into clever marketing in lieu of functional benefit.

Best Adjustable Attachment
Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus
Dual nozzles with pressure control
Warm water option with temperature knob
Built-in splash guard and self-cleaning mode
Unique hinge installation for easy cleaning and readjustment
Hot water requires nearby sink connection
No left-handed configuration
The elegantly styled Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus gives its users standout levels of adjustability in a number of ways, starting with the setup process.
Its attachment plates are designed to slide into place, so you only have to loosen and lift your toilet seat instead of removing it completely. This makes it easier to fine-tune the positioning later or move it to a different toilet. The clever hinge construction also lets you lift the entire bidet unit upwards, making it much easier to clean the area than other attachments we've tried.
You get great adjustability in how you operate the Neo 320 Plus, too, with dual nozzles for two wash modes and a lever handle for precise control of the water's pressure as well as its temperature. That's assuming you install the hot water connection, which we were unable to do because of our test bathroom's layout, but we appreciated having the option.
Also note that if your sink water takes a while to warm up anyway, you won't have immediate access to a heated spray from your bidet either.
The model did highlight some weakness in accessibility that many bidet attachments share. Besides the not very inclusive "feminine wash" labeling, the control panel can only be placed on the right, with no left-handed alternative. The panel and its protruding lever are also positioned rather close to the toilet, which can get uncomfortable for larger body types.

Best Design
Bio Bidet by Bemis Essential Bidet Attachment
Dual nozzles with pressure control
Built-in splash guard
Two wood knob options included
No hot water option
No self-cleaning mode
While many seat-mounted bidet attachments are similar in their design and functional elements, the Essential model from Bio Bidet by Bemis sports a few simple touches that stand out.
The controls are streamlined and intuitive, with a single knob that we found easy to turn to just the right spray strength, no matter who was using it. Twisting in one direction activates the rear-wash nozzle, or go the other way for the front wash.
Plus, unlike most products that commit to a single aesthetic, the Essential ships with two wood-finished knobs to choose from, so you can pop on the lighter or darker one based on your preference or bathroom decor.
Performance-wise, the bidet offers similarly straightforward yet effective cold-water cleaning, a high value among the items we tested. We had no issue installing the attachment with its rotate-to-adjust mounting brackets and water supply connection. Our only minor quibble? The 27.5-inch braided metal hose was pretty visible; being able to hide it away better would've been nice.
Type: Non-electric | Dimensions: 3.5 x 16 x 13 inches | Style: Attachment | Heated Water: No
Best Handheld
Brondell CleanSpa Luxury Handheld Bidet
Very simple to aim and control
Sprayer holster easily wall-mounted or hung on toilet
No additional parts in toilet bowl to maintain
Should be shut off at water supply each time to avoid leaks
No hot water option
If you prefer a nozzle attachment that you can hold in your hand for full spray control, we found Brondell's CleanSpa Luxury Handheld Bidet (model CSL-40) to be an excellent, affordable choice.
The stainless steel spray head's spring-loaded lever lets you precisely adjust the water pressure, which was plenty strong in our setup, and the 4-foot hose allows ample room to move it around.
There's an additional shutoff lever positioned at the T-valve near your toilet tank to help avoid leakage when the bidet isn't in use. Even though it's an extra step before and after each use, we thought it was easy enough to reach while sitting and a worthwhile safeguard against the risk of water damage.
The simple device is mostly straightforward for homeowners to install. Instead of attaching nozzles to your toilet seat, you have to mount the holster for the spray head to rest in, either by hanging it from the toilet tank with a plastic clip or screwing it into the wall. We did find the instructions lacking in terms of assembling the holster itself, but once complete, the whole system felt well-functioning and unobtrusive.
And, since the hardware doesn't directly attach at the seat and within the bowl, it has less visual and practical effect on your existing commode configuration—you don't have to worry about components in the splash zone to clean or work around.

Best Flexibility
RinseWorks Aquaus 360 Handheld Bidet
Unique dual-sided thumb controls
Long hose and extendable wand
Multiple certified parts and constructions
Should be shut off at water supply each time to avoid leaks
No hot water option
The Aquaus 360 from RinseWorks includes a number of clever features that separate it from other handheld bidet sprayers, starting with thumb controls you can access on both sides of the spray head. This makes it easy to hold the sprayer while aiming it in either direction, and the water pressure stays consistent even if you shift your grip, unlike other triggers you need to keep pressed.
A long 54-inch hose adds to the maneuverability and is designed to stay movable even with high pressure flowing through it. You can also interchange longer spray heads and a 5-inch extension for more reach with the sprayer itself. The result is unmatched flexibility in how you can wash yourself off, plus the ability to spray the toilet itself or serve as a rinsing station for other items.
It took us about 45 minutes to finish installation, mainly because we had to drill and mount the holder to the wall after realizing that the holder clip didn't fit with our toilet. Many of the hardware components, though, are backed by NSF certification for safe and reliable use, and an easy-to-reach on/off lever at the T-valve works as extra precaution against leaks.
Type: Non-electric | Dimensions: Not listed | Style: Handheld | Heated Water: No
Final Verdict
Our pick for the best bidet attachment overall is the Brondell Omigo Element+ Non-Electric Warm Water Bidet Attachment, providing stellar value as an effective, attractive dual-nozzle system that's easy to install, easy to operate, and offers the option for a warm-water spray with some additional setup.
For a handheld alternative, try the well-priced Brondell CleanSpa Luxury Handheld Bidet. The stainless steel sprayer is frill-free but effective, in addition to being low-hassle in terms of its mounting options, usage, and maintenance.
How We Tested Bidet Attachments
Our reviewers brought a selection of bidet attachments and sprayers into their homes for an extended period of real-world usage and then reported their experiences with the products. They began by installing the unit at the toilet of their choice, noting the difficulty of the setup process, helpfulness of the instructions, and total time required. (Because of the unique configuration of any bathroom, setbacks were often related to situation-specific requirements and missed steps rather than product defects.)
In testing the bidet attachments, we first checked the controls for their ease of use, whether all household users of the bathroom found it intuitive to operate the product's functions or not. It was also important to gauge the effectiveness of the bidet in its cleansing, including the comfort of various spray modes and pressure levels, the amount of toilet paper still needed after a wash, and the ease of cleaning the bidet elements and toilet itself after use. Finally, we assessed the overall value of each item based on the features, design, construction quality, and benefit it provided for the price.

What to Look for in a Bidet Attachment
Attachment Type
Among the various ways to bring bidet usage into your bathroom, add-on attachments involve the least cost and effort since they require the least new hardware.
The typical type of seat-mounted attachment redirects some of your toilet's water supply through a short hose to a nozzle aimed toward your bottom (sometimes with a second front-focused nozzle as well). Controls usually take the form of knobs or levers on a panel sticking out from the side of your toilet seat, allowing you to adjust the water pressure or temperature, if a hot water connection is available.
Another style of bidet attachment to consider is the handheld sprayer type. As embodied by our best handheld pick, the Brondell CleanSpa Luxury Handheld Bidet, these models offer greater control and flexibility through a pressure-adjustable nozzle head at the end of a long hose.
You don't have to mount them to your toilet seat and operate controls from there, but you do have to mount the sprayer holder to your wall or toilet tank, and often need to toggle a shutoff switch at the supply valve to help prevent leaks.

Features and Functionality
The bulk of bidet attachments on the market are designed to work in a similar way, with controls that activate and adjust the strength of its water spray. Some bidets include a second nozzle for a gentler, more forward-aimed stream labeled as a "front" or "feminine" wash. Often, the nozzles retract behind a splash guard and can be rinsed off using a "self-cleaning" mode.
Select models also have the option to pipe in hot water for adjustable water temperature. The Brondell Omigo Element+ Non-Electric Warm Water Bidet Attachment includes essentially all of these features at a reasonable cost, helping it rank as our best overall option.
While the simplicity of bidet attachments is a draw for many, keep in mind that you can get more comforts and conveniences by investing in a bidet toilet seat, which often uses an electrical connection to power functions like heated seats and air drying.
"Bidet attachments have no need for electricity, which is their main upside when compared to bidet seats," says Daniel Johnson, owner of Many Bidets. "If you're looking for more features, an electric bidet seat is well worth considering."
Compatibility with Your Toilet
Most modern bidet attachments are designed for universal compatibility with the majority of standard toilets, particularly in terms of adjustable mounting brackets or plates that create a tight fit under the toilet seat. You can also check the various measurements provided by the product against the spacing at your toilet.
Some, like our best adjustable attachment, the Luxe Bidet Neo 320 Plus Bidet Attachment, offer an online tool to confirm if your toilet model is compatible or not, or requires extra adapter parts to work.
Beyond the typical two-piece toilets, certain types of toilets pose particular difficulties because of their construction. "Because bidet attachments sit straight across the toilet, they will not work with a french curve toilet," says Johnson. "And if you have a skirted toilet, you'll need a certain T-valve that connects to the water supply instead, making the skirt on the toilet a non-issue."
Another potential hiccup we've come across is if you have a rigid supply line connecting your toilet tank to the water shutoff valve beneath it. Bidet attachments usually require a T-valve to be added on to that supply line, which won't be possible with a rigid pipe there; you'll need to replace it with a flexible hose so the T-valve will fit.
Ease of Installation
Setting up a bidet attachment is a relatively straightforward DIY task, especially compared to installing a bidet as a full standalone fixture, or even replacing your toilet seat with an electric bidet seat.
Some models tout install times of 10 minutes, and the Tushy Classic 3.0 Bidet Toilet Seat Attachment goes as far as listing an 8.5-minute setup. It does earn our pick as the best for beginners since it offers multiple options for on-demand installation support, but expect the whole process to take longer in reality, with existing seat removal and other variables factored in.
Many of the installation issues that came into play in our tests were related to unexpected quirks of the current toilet configuration, which are hard to anticipate since each situation can be vastly different. The bidet attachments in this list, though, provided enough instructions, necessary hardware, and online support to complete the project without excessive headache.
