It seems to me that Americans are viewed as cretins and barbarians not only for our careless exposure of gun violence but also in our toilet habits. While the rest of the world cleans up after a number 2 with water via some sort of a bidet, we continue to feel the need to scrub ourselves with dry sheets of tree pulp.
An estimated 27,000 trees are felled each day just to produce toilet paper, according to National Geographic? That staggering statistic translates to a jaw-dropping 9.8 million trees lost annually for our basic bathroom needs.
During the covid pandemic toilet paper was i. Short supply and people were panicking. That is, people other than myself as I had added a bidet feature to my toilet at least a year earlier. The water is cold but i don't mind it. i still have paper but a roll can last a month as it is only used to dry.
At $1 - $3 per roll, that makes each toilet experience rather expensive. And a roll of toilet paper may only last a day or two if it is used as the primary "cleaning" mechanism which honestly is not very good. Toilet paper use can also lead to.
urinary tract infection and skin irritation, and aggravates existing rectal issues, like hemorrhoids or anal fissures.
To recap: The benefits of bidets:
A “cleaner” cleaning process is the main benefit of a bidet, but it offers other advantages, too. The wide-ranging list includes:
Being gentler on your skin. Wiping can cause chafing and tiny cuts — a concern that’s washed away with a bidet, says Dr. Lee. (On that note, bidets can also be more comfortable to use if you have hemorrhoids and fissures.)
A more user-friendly experience. The setup of a bidet can make cleaning your backside easier if you have mobility issues, arthritis or difficulties reaching to wipe.
Being eco-conscious. Toilet paper manufacturing requires trees, as well as chemicals and lots of water and energy. Using a bidet eliminates the expenditure of those resources for TP.
Saving money. The average household spends hundreds of dollars on TP each year, so a bidet could improve your bottom line over the long term even after the upfront investment. (Plus, you’ll dodge future panics over the availability of toilet paper.)
Fewer plunger incidents. If you’re not using wads of toilet paper, you won’t have to worry about TP clogging your toilet.
