Students at the University of East Anglia are calling for bidets to be installed across the campus to help make it more inclusive.
The UEA's Students' Union has agreed to install the devices in its Union House headquarters.
And it now plans to lobby UEA bosses to add at least one bidet to every building on the campus.
A motion passed by the Union this week states the bidets are "more hygienic, cleaner, gentler, and more eco-friendly and economically efficient than toilet paper".
It adds: "They are a cost effective way of making the university accessible to its students, and the SU should be fighting to make UEA a home for everyone."
The Union argues that the move will help the university attract foreign students.
The UEA has seen a collapse in the number of overseas students in recent years - a significant factor in the financial crisis currently gripping the institution.
The pro-bidet motion was proposed to the SU council by 19-year-old Ali Sabba, an international development student from Bahrain.
Mr Sabba, who bought his own bidet for his student accommodation in the UEA village, said the move would help the campus become more welcoming for international students.
He said: "I wanted to think of a small way that I could help make a difference on campus and came up with the idea while chatting with a friend from Yemen.
"In the east of the world we all tend to use bidets - almost every Muslim household has them but every time I have to use the restroom on campus I have to go home. It's not ideal."
Mr Sabba added: "The university is really suffering with international recruitment.
"If you want to bring new international students in, little things like this to make the campus more welcoming could make a real difference.
"It is all about trying to make people feel at home."
Mr Sabba said that the motion was agreed unanimously by the committee, with a "universally positive reaction".
A spokeswoman for the UEA said: “We don’t currently have any bidets on our campus.
"However, we are always keen to hear suggestions from members of our student community to make our campus facilities more inclusive and we would of course listen to any ideas or proposals that are put forward.”
