A cold water bidet is many times better than TP or wipes, and costs very little. I’ve been very happy with the BioBidet Elite3, but I admit that I only use it as a backup when my warm water model needs service. I wouldn’t consider using plain TP as a backup unless I had to!

In a pinch,  you can also rinse off with warm water in peri bottles.  There are also "portable" bidet bottles available, but i didn't have the dexterity for those, apparently.   All on amazon. 

Hi, Spooky.

I have a Neo Bidet from Amazon with hot and cold water. It cost less than $100 and worth every cent, and even less if you get only cold water. But warm water is so comforting! It does not need electricity at all. My bidet hooks up to the same hot and cold water lines that supply my sink. The box has all the connectors, water lines, etc. that you'll need. My plumber did it, but there are tutorials on the internet if you are handy at that sort of thing. If your water lines are concealed inside a vanity cabinet, you might need to drill a small hole to run the water lines through. It was the best purchase and I can't do without it. When travelling I use my travel bidet squeeze bottle. At home, the bidet's hot water (mixed with some cold, so don't burn yourself) will clean and heal your skin by encouraging blood circulation to that small area. It's like a mini sitz bath every time. Ever since I bought it, I have never again had fissures, hemmies, or any other injury there.

Thanks! A portable bidet is a good idea until I can get something more permanent sorted out! I will try this.
