The Germans are progressive - but not in everything. Bidets are (still) rare in German bathrooms. We are changing that! Because the super easy handling and the thorough cleaning result makes the popotti bidet a really great alternative to scratchy toilet paper or strongly perfumed wet wipes.

Bidets are not common in Germany, and most traditional German households and hotels rely solely on toilet paper. In fact, many Germans find the concept of a bidet to be a bit of a foreign curiosity. However, 2026 is seeing a "notable transformation" in the German bathroom market; awareness of hygiene and sustainability is driving an 11–15% annual growth in bidet sales. You are much more likely to find bidet seat attachments (like TOTO Washlets) in high-end, modern hotels in Berlin or Munich than a standalone ceramic bidet. If you are staying in an older rental or a budget hotel, do not expect a bidet. A high-value tip for 2026 travelers who prefer water-cleansing is to pack a "portable bidet" or "HappyPo" squeezy bottle, which are widely available in German drugstores like DM, ensuring you have the comfort you're used to regardless of the plumbing.
