A bidet 💪 even a cheap one is nice.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

It literally saves so much water. 💧

[-] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 33 points 9 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.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 9 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

[-] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

While you're shopping for a bidet also shop for an Australian toilet. The half flush saves a lot more water too but the proper s-bend makes everything a single flush even if you rocked it hard.

and by rocked it I mean you filled it with mercury for some reason

One of those is a bathroom remodel and the other is twenty minutes with a wrench in a rental

What's this now? There are a number of US toilets that have the dual flush feature, but what's this about a modified S bend?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Literally no other countries have problems with toilets clogging. It's not a modified S, it's a normal one

I may or may not have looked up gullible in the dictionary when I was younger

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Ten seconds? I think Mother Nature can understand if you wanna live it up a little bit more you know?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

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

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 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 😆
