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 11 months ago

I spray my ass with the force of a thousand tsunamis—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 😆
