      Don’t flush anything that isn’t human waste.

      Toilet paper also wrecks drainage systems.

          Just because you have always done it and it doesn’t affect you, personally. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t have consequences or it is ok. Flushing toilet paper is a logistical and maintenance nightmare, and it is costing you and your neighbors exorbitant amounts of money on otherwise unnecessary extra processing.

            A large portion of my career has been in septic systems and wastewater management actually.

            It would be nice if bidets were more widespread, but fats, oils, greases, and unflushable materials like qtips, sanitary pads, condoms, and ‘flushable’ wipes are the primary concern for sanitary sewers and on-site septic systems alike.

            Toilet paper is fine. But yes, I can attest from professional experience if you and your neighbors do not have plumbed water or you’re using privies or holding tanks, limiting toilet paper usage can be beneficial.

        Yes, put all your poopy paper in a trash can so it smells up your toilet.

        If your plumbing is modern at all, TP isn’t an issue.

    I don’t understand why people still clean their asses with toilet paper in their own home. A handheld bidet + towel is a much better alternative, in my opinion.

      I have one.

      Everytime I read this from you guys, I don’t get if you’re seriously overselling them or I’m doing something wrong.

      3-4 water blasts and one wipe are definitely not enough most times. I have to wet wipe a few times and then dry off to get clean.

      Maybe it’s related to diet or I just have a high standard for hygiene, but I would never consider just drying off with a reusable towel, yuck…

      Toilet paper still a necessity.

        I have a bidet too, I’d never just blast water without wiping first. The bidet gets you a lot cleaner. But I wipe, rinse, then wipe to dry. And fucking no, It’s not with a towel wtaf.

      I have young kids in the house, if I installed a handheld bidet I’m certain that they will use it to spray each other when I’m not looking, regularly.

      So I’m planning to install a bidet but in not ready yet

      Not opinion, fact. Cold and hard like my tap water, which has a bead blasting effect at higher pressures when needed.
