A post shared by toilets with bidets 🇸🇬🚽💦 (@toiletswithbidetsg)

Some of the popular local spots featured include Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay MRT, Fort Canning Park and Jewel Changi Airport.

Found a swanky toilet with a bidet? Feel free to DM the profile with a picture, location and details like whether it's a male, female or unisex toilet. 

Besides popular spots, their Instagram Story highlights also showcases the toilets on two MRT lines.

The toilets on Downtown Line apparently had all their bidets removed. 

While the stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line supposedly have at least one bidet in the male and female toilets.

Run by a woman, the admin was inspired to create the account after seeing a tweet about creating an app for bidets in Singapore. 

The admin went the extra mile by creating a detailed map and a list of where you can find toilets with bidets across Singapore. 

When asked in a podcast interview on where's the best toilet in Singapore, the admin gave Jewel Changi Airport a shoutout.

Staying true to her cause, one of the highlights feature alternative options in the event you're stuck with just toilet paper. Think along the lines of flushable wet wipes and portable bidets.

Birds of the same feather flock together 

You might be surprised to know that netizens were pretty happy with this ingenious Instagram profile. 

In a Q&A highlight, netizens expressed their gratitude. 

One user mentioned how she tries not to do number two if there is no bidet available, and this account really helped her. 

The admin even explained how the bidet toilet seat works when one netizen was confused with the buttons. 

In a separate highlight, users also shared what they will do if there's no bidet in the toilet.
