No toilet paper?

[Hector]

We have three Brondell Swash 1400 bidets in our household...we are good...

Bidets reduce the need for toilet paper. Considering that an average person uses only 1⁄8 US gal of water for cleansing by using a bidet, much less water is used than for manufacturing toilet paper. An article in Scientific American concluded that using a bidet is "much less stressful on the environment than using paper". Scientific American has also reported that if the US switched to using bidets, 15 million trees could be saved every year.

If you never had or used one...I highly recommend them. After you get used to them...you’ll never want to dry toilet paper wipe again...

Question about using a bidet …

Don't you still need toilet paper to dry your undercarriage off ?

Most modern seat bidets have Dry settings. Ours have cold, warm, and hot air.

Higher end like ours have unlimited warm/hot jet water too...so you’ll never get that cold splash.

Anybody can get a bidet...they are not those old separate porcelain bidets. These new electronic ones are placed on top of your existing toilet bowl...just remove the old seat. The plumbing connection is very easy. They last a long time too. Many come with 5 year warranties. Our mom’s bidet is 7 years old, still working.

I still use a wet paper towel to you know...just in case I missed something, lol. I also use dry paper towel to accelerate drying in case I’m in a hurry.

We got our first bidet out of necessity 8 years ago, when mom got sick and started having trouble cleaning after herself. So after researching, we discovered bidets. So we installed one for her. Worked fantastic. Well, we started trying it too...and before you know it...my sis got one for her bathroom...and I got one for mine.

Every time I’m at a hotel/motel...or a hospital stay...I have to go back to dry wipe...then take a shower. Man, I sure miss my bidet then. I’ve have gotten spoiled, lol.

I used one for the first time in Tokyo and I'm a believer. This needs to become industry standard.

In Japan toilet paper is used to dry a freshly washed behind. In the US it's used to smear filth around.

This is one of those things that's so smart, it'll take another 30 years to catch on in the US if ever. The TP lobbyists among others, will help prevent this.

Toto is Japanese owned, way more expensive...they are really high quality, but super expensive...

Brondell is the better option...their products are excellent as well...and it’s an American company, made in the USA...

I sound like a commercial...

Wife bought me one as a joke a few Christmases ago. It is still in the box, but if we run out, I'll be hooking it up.
