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

While you’re shopping for a bidet also shop for an Australian toilet. The half flush saves a lot more water too but the proper s-bend makes everything a single flush even if you rocked it hard.

and by rocked it I mean you filled it with mercury for some reason

That’s my secret, I’ve got a 50 year old toilet with a five gallon tank. There’s nothing this bad boy can’t take down.

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?

I spray my ass with the force of a thousand tsunamis—10 seconds is more than enough.

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.
