Your Butt Stinks: And Five Other Reasons You Should Have Gotten a Bidet Years Ago
We don’t have to tell you that having a clean tush is a good thing. There’s no denying that using toilet paper alone after dropping the kids off at the pool...well...stinks. But having a bidet in your bathroom improves your quality of life, not just the quality of your wipe. Check out our team’s top reasons why you should own a bidet below:
- Your Butt Stinks. May have given this one away in the title, but it’s the number one reason you should own a bidet. Using toilet paper alone is simply ineffective and antiquated. If you got any other stinky, bacteria-filled substance on your body, you would wash it off with water, right? RIGHT?!! Using a bidet or bidet attachment ensures that you leave the restroom feeling, as Outkast would say, “So Fresh and So Clean.”
- Buy Less TP. Feel like you’re continually buying toilet paper? Toilet paper, for its effectiveness, is considerably more expensive than water. A bidet pays for itself rather quickly when you consider your slowed consumption of toilet paper.
- Less TP, Less Clogging. This one is pretty simple. Too often, excess toilet paper is the culprit of the all-too-embarrassing clog. If you’re using less toilet paper, this problem takes care of itself. Additionally, if you are on a septic system, you may find that you are undergoing fewer costly services.
- Use it For More than Just Your Booty! Many bidet attachments are simply sprayer heads that attach to the tank on your toilet. That water is perfectly clean and comes in handy when doing other household chores in the bathroom. Use your sprayer as an aid during kids’ bathtime, watering plants, cleaning, and more!
- It’s Easy Bein’ Green. A whopping 15% of worldwide deforestation is due to toilet paper alone. Imagine if only half of the population started using a bidet – that number would drop dramatically! In addition to this, one estimate suggests that it takes 37 gallons of water to produce one roll of toilet paper; this pales in comparison to the extra water used when cleaning with a bidet.
- Got a Pain in the Ass? While we can’t do anything about your annoying coworker, bidets are great options if you regularly deal with hemorrhoids. When you keep your behind cleaner, hemorrhoids are less likely to pop up and ruin your week. This same logic can be applied to UTIs – when bacteria are effectively washed off your bum, they have fewer chances of traveling, cutting down on the peskiest of infections.
