Use Less Toilet Paper
Four years ago we got our first bidet and I don't know how we lived without it. It's not just about feeling cleaner, though I guarantee you will be SHOCKED once you discover the all-too-icky difference between merely wiping and washing with clean water.
Getting a bidet is also about buying a lot less toilet paper. And I mean a LOT less.
In our case, we went from using one roll of toilet paper a day to using about one roll a week.
Of course it's just the two of us, no kids. We're both semi-retired, work from home and don't have access to an employer-provided corporate bathroom during work hours. No one supplies our workday potty facility except us!
And as I write this, the USA is in the midst of a toilet paper shortage. I can't order it on Costco's website and my local supermarkets are out of stock. Thanks to our bidet, this is no big deal for us.
It also feels good to know that we aren't sending tons of paper products through our sewer line.
And the water that comes out of the bidet is clean water. The same plain clean water you brush your teeth with! That's because the bidet hoses connect to your SINK water (not the toilet tank).
Earth-friendly and saves you money on toilet paper? Yes.
We like the model of bidet we have, but everywhere I've looked it's out of stock. However, I found one that's very similar to the one we have. If we had to replace ours, I would probably choose this one because it includes all the gear you need to install it and it has a 24 month warranty (ours was only 12 months).
I should also add that if you have a choice, get a bidet with BOTH warm and cold water feeds. Of course if you live in a very warm part of the USA, and the water that comes out of your tap is tepid no matter what time of year, you can probably get by with a cold water only model.
But we live in the upper Great Lakes where it gets VERY cold in the Fall and Winter. So if you're like us and don't like to bathe your tush in ice water, be kind to yourself and get the warm+cool water bidet option.
