Bidets – what I didn’t know

  1. They are more sanitary than toilet paper
  2. They use less water than what is used to manufacture toilet paper (okay, I probably knew that)
  3. They are popular around the world except in North America
  4. You can get an attachment for your existing toilet for $100 US

Washing with water vs. wiping with dry paper. We know paper doesn’t work for babies (that’s why we have wet wipes) so why do we think it works for kids and adults?

Check out the Blue Bidet for more details and health benefits. Alternatively, you could consider using a diaper sprayer to achieve the same effect, like a friend of mine does.

    I was in West Africa somewhere that I no longer remember and a North American had a plant potted in their bidet.

    Huh. Not quite used properly…

    Would be easy to water that plant though!
