How to stop using so much toilet paper and have a cleaner bottom and save money.

How to Stop Using so much Toilet Paper and have a Cleaner Healthier Bottom / beautyandthefoodie.comPin

I stopped using toilet paper! No, I'm not crazy, and just what I do use, gets me cleaner than toilet paper?

Five years ago I purchased a Bidet Toilet Seat, and it is the best purchase I have ever made.

It cleans you with a powerful spray of water and has a blow-dry option. No more scrubbing bacteria around with dry toilet paper.

You would not clean your face with a dry paper towel that has a little chlorine bleach on it, would you? So why would you clean your delicate bottom with that?

I absolutely love my bidet. No more rashes, hemorrhoids, or itchiness.

This way of cleaning is much more sanitary and has been used for many years in Europe as well as Japan.

The version I purchased was pricey but I have other inexpensive versions in my home as well.

There is a solution for every budget.

I'm sharing this also because although it uses water it saves water. the production of toilet paper uses a lot more water than a bidet.

A bidet gets you cleaner and can help with constipation as well. Using the spray of water helps get things moving.

This is great for kids, especially when you wonder if they are wiping themselves properly and if they are washing their hands thoroughly.

Here Are The Reasons You Should Consider A Bidet:

  1. Cleaner healthier bottom ( water cleans better than paper)
  2. Saves money and water
  3. Saves trees
  4. Uses no chemicals like bleach, which is used in toilet paper
  5. Gentle on the skin (can help prevent rashes and hemorrhoids)
  6. Can help with constipation
  7. Less backing up plumbing or septic system from overuse of toilet paper

Here are some different Bidets in different price ranges-

All of these are easy to install onto your toilet. Electric models need an outlet nearby (need to know seat size also). Non-electric do not.  Click on the links below:

  1. Electric warm water and blow dry Bidet Seat (pricey but awesome), for elongate seat size. Or this one comes in round size seats
  2. This is a hot and cold water seat attachment Bidet (non-electric)
  3. Less pricey hot and cold, self-cleaning model (great deal) (non electric)
  4. This is a less expensive self cleaning freshwater model  (non-electric)
  5. Travel Bidet, hand held (for a tight budget), no installation. (very low cost)

These are just some of the bidets available from pricey to very budget-friendly. I actually have three of them. One pricey one and two more economical ones! It is one of the best things I have ever purchased!

    Hi, I've just put in a bidet hose spray (http://e-catalog.rusbiz.com/product/_Bidet_Spray_Hose_13500.html) - you might consider putting a link to one of these as an option also, because they are easy and cheap to buy and install too. MUCH better, cleaner, and more sustainable, agreed! You get a Y fitting with the right attachments to connect to the waterpipe outlet beside the toilet and the hose you're going to attach, and voila! Hope you get lots of views 🙂

      Hi there, I agree there are cheaper options than the bidet or at least if people are waiting to buy a bidet there are other options in the mean time, such as: using a jug or bottle, filled with water. I have a post on my blog about the subject of not using toilet paper and replacing it with a jug and small towel. Have a lovely day. And thank you Stacey for the important information and advice.

    This is one of the best decisions you could have made to live more healthy and hygienically. I wish it was standard protocol to have some form of a bidet in every Westernized bathroom. Yes water is truly the best method to use and ensure cleanliness after using a toilet. With a good wash and a good lathering of soap and water on the hands afterward, you can never ever be as clean! Once you bidet, you never look at the toilet the same way!

    A bidet would have been wonderful to have during and ever since having pelvic radiation!

      Hello Tina, I'm sorry you had to go through that. I took care of my Mom while she had anal cancer and she had so many pelvic radiation treatments plus chemo. It was really awful!! Yes, I gave her a peri bottle at first until we could hook one up for her. The doctors never recommended getting one, just the premoistened wet wipes, which burned on an already burned area. Are you fully recovered? It took my Mom a long time to recover a little, but she is cancer free, but has to get checked often to make sure it does not return. Hope you are healed and healthy. Thank you for sharing.
      Sincerely,
      Stacey
