    How? Aren’t you using more water than normal dry wiping, which uses none?

      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.

        Ten seconds? I think Mother Nature can understand if you wanna live it up a little bit more you know?

            Hahaha well then what better experience can you have with an ebb and flow like that? That’s beyond living it up, and more like riding the storm 😆

      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

          To add: not everyone needs to shower daily, either. I don’t have a physical job, I shower maybe twice a week. More than enough for me. Also use Aleppo soaps, because they keep you clean longer. High oil percentage.

            There are very few people in this world in my opinion who shouldn’t be showering daily or at least every other day.

            I can spend all day doing nothing and still reek at the end of the day. I’m sorry but you sound gross. Ain’t no high quality shampoo. Keeping the stink off you that long.

              Sounds like you don’t have enough experience with talking to people about hygiene? I know many people who don’t shower daily and are perfectly hygienic and not smelly at all, me included, and my wife. Kids definitely usually don’t need to bathe daily either. Sometimes weekly is enough. Especially infants shouldn’t rinse too much, else they develop skin problems.

              If you spend all day doing nothing and reek?? Sounds like a you problem. Probably genetic.

              Research Aleppo soaps. Might actually help you!

              Good luck, stinky! ❤️😊
