It literally saves so much water. πŸ’§

[-] Chozo@kbin.social 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] pacific@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

It takes a lot of water and energy to make toilet paper. Well, a lot more than turning on my bidet for 10 seconds.

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 13 points 11 months ago

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

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?

[-] pacific@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I spray my ass with the force of a thousand tsunamisβ€”10 seconds is more than enough.

[-] CoolBeance@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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 πŸ˜†

[-] Granixo@feddit.cl 1 points 11 months ago

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. 🚿

[-] ArtificialLink@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

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

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] ArtificialLink@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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! ❀️😊

[-] ArtificialLink@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

Not bathing kids more than once a week is insane. It definitely ain't me stinking lol.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Not bathing kids more than once a week is insane.

I didn't say "not more than once a week", I said "sometimes weekly is enough". So at least once a week. At least. Big difference.

But daily isn't necessary, in fact probably more harmful than good unless they're really muddy or soiled themselves in other ways.

Our kids keep clean. Wash hands before and after each meal, after coming home from outside, etc. Winter time is here so they have warm clothes and play in the snow, so no dirt.

I work as a developer, lots of time sitting still. Mostly just shower after exercising at the gym a few times per week. That's enough. Otherwise no smell.

It definitely ain't me stinking lol.

Okay? Thought you said you "reek" after 1 single day of "doing nothing"? Which is it? Will you reek or won't you reek? You might have some hormonal issues that make your skin smelly. Might want to look it up.

Good luck! πŸ‘
