Description
Use a bidet to reduce your toilet paper consumption and bring this luxury home trend into your life. Bidets are extremely popular throughout many parts of the world thanks to the cleaner, fresher, and healthier feeling they give.
If you are not familiar, a bidet sprays water to help clean you off instead of rubbing with toilet paper. After a try, many people cannot imagine life without them. Give it a go and decide for yourself.
Plus, as a bonus, there are savings to be made from not spending as much on toilet paper and avoiding plumbing issues!
Many toilet paper users go through over 100 rolls per year, and each roll a lot of water to create. Plus, there is the energy to form it (usually from polluting sources) and contributions to deforestation, especially if the trees cut down to make toilet paper are not sustainably managed.
Most toilet paper is made with virgin wood rather than recycled fiber. The logs are turned into wood chips at the mill and then sent through a chemical process to remove fibers. The white color comes from another chemical process.
