Toilet Paper Sucks! Bidets Rules!

Why More And More People Are Using Water As An Eco-Friendly Way To Clean Their Tushes.

Tushy Premium Bidet

I have a very practical yet logical question to ask you :

If you were to eat a piece of chocolate and got some smudged all over your fingers, would you get a tissue or a paper napkin to wipe it off? Of course not! Because your fingers, despite the visual aesthetic of chocolate being wiped off of your hands, will remain sticky residue , causing your fingers to still stay sticky from the smudged chocolate.

Now let’s imagine the same situation with so much chocolate on your fingers, but this time you head over to a restroom to wash your fingers under warm soaking water. Within 20 seconds of rubbing your hands together with soap and water, not only is the smudge off but the sticky residue that remained,has been washed off completely. You dry your hands off, leaving them soft and warm yet again.

Obviously, These Charmin Bears never had a shower clean feeling up their tushy.

That’s the type of logic I started to use after I retired toilet paper. Because toilet paper wasn’t getting the job done and I would often wipe,yet get tissue stuck up my bum, leaving me with an itchy feeling up between my butt crack. Not to mention, fecal residue didn’t completely get wiped off,which left those annoying streak marks on my underwear for a long time.I understand how you might feel disgusted as you read this article thus far, but trust me, after you read the entire thing, you’ll learn how to hygenically clean your tushy without using your hands to dig for gold.

The toilet paper hoarding panic of 2020.

I’d always personally believe that maybe I was wiping the wrong way, but in realitymillions of other people, according to a sub Reddit forum;experienced the same thing. This issued as since shifted my beliefs that perhaps toilet paper is a huge scam. But once I found out a more hygienic way to wipe your second sensitive area, I decided to immediately switch to water bidet back in 2015,that’s five years before the toilet paper crises during covid 19 In March Of 2020. I then thanked myself for purchasing a new bidet device for my toilet seat. Boy couldn’t I been more right 5 years later.

Remember How Paniced People Were Before Lockdown?

During March 2020, blocks of people Ramaged the supermarkets in family dollars and search for toilette paper. What resulted was chaos and thievery as people scrummaged just to stock up on toilette supplies nationwide in The United States. You’d almost swear we were all living through some obscured apocalyptic thriller. Hoarding 5 or 6 packages of rolls, supermarkets became overwelmed and had to eventually limit certain necessities to two per household. I simply couldn’t relate since I’d gone years without wiping with toilette paper.

If it was up to the Charmin ,You’d be stuck with Using Toilette Paper forever.

While people were fighting over toilette paper like a Black Friday crowd at the mall, I was quietly sitting on the toilet spraying my butt.

Empty shelves lure of apocalyptic scenes across The United States In 2020 as toilette paper manufactures were running up production of toilette paper due to panic buying.

I‘d hardly used toilette paper at this point. Because once you go Bidet, you’ll never use a toilette roll up your booty. Matter of fact, other than occasionally using rest rooms for emergency reasons at the gas station, I had ZERO toilette paper at home. I didn’t truly need it because I had something much better. Something that left me shower clean up my butt. It’s hard to explain the exact feeling unless you had a chance to experience it yourself because words couldn’t actually describe it at all. It’s a feeling that doesn’t translate into word, like the feeling you have when you know that you know that you know, you’re in love with someone. I’d turn on the bidet faucet as a jet of water would spray up my hole and rapidly remove all of the remaining fecal matter off. I’d known for sure once I peeped inside of the toilet bowl and see tiny little brushes of poop that’s been water jetted out of my butt and quietly said to myself “Toilette paper would of never cleaned my ass as good as a bidet does” as I‘d flushed the waste down the toilet.

What’s A Bidet And How Is It Used?

A traditional non Anglo Western European Washroom(bathroom) with wall- mounted ceramic bidet bowl (far right) of the mounted toilet(left)

A Bidet is originally a ceramic bowl shaped sink you sit on like someone would mounted on a horse (hence the French word for bidet literally translates as little horse in French) and water would be used alternatively to clean or wipe the buttock.In the beginning of the 1600s, the French used to ceramic toilet bowls specifically designed to hold water while they use either their left or right hand between their legs to cup water then gently splashed up their second private area to properly clean after relieviating. The fresh water would clean any remaining fecal matter. After washing this sensitive area, you‘d then dry yourself with a warm towel. Of course this wasn’t the only way to clean that sensitive area. The Greeks would use sea shells or hard sponges to grind poop from up between their butt cheeks. Even though, bidets were more sensible and hygienic. Joesph Gayetty invented the toilet roll for people everywhere to wipe themselves and the rest is history...except, most countries globally still used water to clean their butts.

Japanese Style Bidet toilet bowl(electronic) With Seat Warmers, buttons to adjust the temperature of the water jet washlet plus so much more) Often labled The Cadillac’s of Bidet toilets.

In The middle East for example, folks are instructed through ancient text and cultural expectations to use a ceramic vessel to gently clean their buttholes. Nowadays they most likely use modern bidet shower holes to clean their sensitive parts. In Japan, The Toto Washlet comes equipped with a jet that cleans up your sensitive area and includes pressure sensor, hot or cold water to spray, a seat warmer along with a feminine washlet design to clean the vagina with warm or cold jet water.SouthEast Asia also practiced something similar where they used their hands to slash water. Now they use joystick bidets with a washlet that sprays water up their bum, giving them a more hygienic and eco -friendly experience like the Japanese. South America over the last recent few decades, has also adapted to using bidet washlets toilet seats in their home and commercial buildings, just like Japan.

The washlet wand sprays water up your sensitive area for a shower clean feeling each and every time you go.

It made more sense for that part of the world. Yet In the New World, a thin paper solution was bubbling from behind (Figuratively speaking) that would dictate generations of families to settle for the most unhygienic and unpractically method to cleaning the most smelly, disgusting part of a human’s body.

It wasn’t until roughly 1857 that Joesph Gayetty invented the first roll of toilette paper. Shaping the industry we now know today whose massively profited from toilet paper in 2020, in which their scam continues to be standard in practice til this very day. But what if it’s all wrong? What if you’ve been cleaning your butt all wrong? It’s never too late to adapt a new habit. So allow me to introduce and convince you to a cleaner way to clean yourself.

Bidet Saves You Money:

With a Bidet, you’ll hardly need to go to the store for toilet paper.

It’s Eco-Friendly:

Did you know it takes approximately 473,587,500,000 gallons of water to produce toilette paper and 253,000 tons of chlorine for bleaching? Woah! Whereas with A bidet, you’re utilizing 13 gallons of water, while environmentally saving water resources.

More Hygienic:

Modern Bidet Washlet jet wands keeps your private area much cleaner and sanitary compared to toilette paper rolls, which still leaves many unclean and can cause all kinds of health related issues later.

Non Toxic Way To Clean After The Go:

Toilette paper uses harmful dyes and estrogenic ingredients that could be affecting you physically and emotionally. Not to mention, the development of hemorrhoids and itchy butt cracks. But with clean water spraying up you after your go, not only will the itchy butt go away, but you’ll be left feeling shower clean without the worry of harmful chemicals being absorbed in your body. Watch how better your overall mood is and how clean between your butt cheeks feel after switching to a bidet.

You’ll Finally Know How It Feels To Be Apart Of A Global Community:

When you switch to A bidet, you’ll soon realize how the rest of the world feels after the go! There’s nothing like that shower clean feeling and assurance that nothing else can smear on your panties or underwear. Because those days are officially over! No longer will you have to use your hand to wipe up your butt then accidentally get fecal faricles on your fingernails or the tips of your finger. It’ll be an experience that’s life changing, money saving and eco-friendly for the planet and for your own sanity after relieving yourself.

The Rest Of The World Uses Bidets, Why Hasn’t The US And North America Caught On Yet?

America’s and Canada’s public restroom Vs. Japan’s washlet ready public restrooms.

While South America, Some African Countries,Western Europe and Asia can enjoy the go with assurance, America and Canada are still barbarically using paper to wipe up. It’s such a shame that a first-world nation that is the beacon of the world(America)is allegedly number one at everything else, except a clean asshole. In fact, America has the most clogged up sewage problem than any other nation on Earth. You’d think the most powerful nation in the world would also remedy the most stinkiest issue on the planet but insteads, opts in for toilette paper . This is in no way, mocking America’s flaws (every country has them) but to educate and to give everyone a chence to feel humbled and to do better when it’s time to relieve yourselves.

But if you’re wondering why America and North America hasn’t adapted the bidets yet, its probably because of their association with brothels in France during World War II. When American soldiers occupied the quarters in France during World War II, many of them would visit brothels where French prostitution took place and bidets were first discovered by several of these young brave soldiers. It never fully adopted in the 60s back home in America because of it’s filthy association with prostitution. Also note that the first toilet ever showed on a moving picture in America was in the 1950’s horrror classic Psycho as most American’s back in those days were grossed out about anything relating to toilets flushing (which didn’t help) causing companies to manufacture and ping toilette paper as the standard to wiping up. Most Americans would rather get hemorrhoids and risk their digestive health than to hygienically use water that gets the job done more efficiently. It’s not their fault but with new hygienic habits thrown into adaptation, like the rest of the world, a new resolve will emerge therefore making America’s Butt, cleaner..for the first time!

Time For Change:

It’s time for America and Canada to change the way they use the restroom. At the time of this writing,we are at the third decade of the 21st-century as new technologies emerge from innovation, so should our way that we use the toilet. There’s a company that‘s already thinking ahead of the curve. Tushy has found a way to help Americans adapt to better hygienic ways of cleaning their butts with their seat bidets thats easy to install and won’t require any electricity (like standard Toto Toilets in Japan) to run a stream of water through the washlet wand. If climate change is the global threat of our lifetimes, then the bidet toilet seat is the solution to conserve paper from being made into toilette rolls, wasting millions of trees and natural resources,which is enabling higher carbon footprint .This water cleaning solution uses little to no toilette tissue and saves you money simultaneously.

Ditch toilet appear for good and join the eco -friendly and super hygienic revolution by purchasing A Tushy Bidet Toilet (Get Yours Here )seat for your bowl.

Easy to set up and only takes less than 10 minutes to install. Again, no batteries or other complicated set ups required. You’ll think yourself later and save thousands a year on toilet paper that’ll never make you feel as shower clean up there as sprayed clean water ever could.
