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

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 1 year ago

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

[-] CoolBeance@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year 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 😆
