      It takes a lot of water and energy to make toilet paper. Well, a lot more than turning on my bidet for 10 seconds.

        I would also add on that, unless you REALLY rocked that toilet, every poo becomes a single flush. Rather than potentially needing to double flush to avoid clogging it

        Ahh, that’s an interesting angle I hadn’t considered. I wonder if there’s a way to quantify the water savings this way, like a volume of water per TP roll or something. I feel like that could be a solid selling point to get more people interested in buying one.

          I was curious a while ago and researched a little. Bidets are the environmental champ for butt cleaning.

      What i mean is that you can save a lot of water by cleaning yourself using a bidet + bath sink instead of doing a full shower. 🚰

      You don’t need to shower every day. 🚿

        You don’t need a shower everyday just because your ass gets dirty. You need to shower everyday because the rest of you is dirty too lol
