How do bidet users cope in countries without bidets?
I love travelling, but please let there be a bidet. All this toilet paper is starting to feel like sandpaper. 😫

Hey it could like in the 18th and early 19th century, toilet paper as we know it did not exist; instead, people used alternatives like newspapers, leaves, and even corncobs for personal hygiene.
Newspapers were popular due to their accessibility, while rural households often turned to leaves or corncobs.
Water was commonly used in cultures with specific cleansing practices. It wasn't until the mid-19th century that commercially available toilet paper emerged, with innovations like perforated sheets revolutionizing hygiene. This evolution highlights how societal norms and material availability influenced personal care throughout history.
