I just use baby wipes, they're cheaper and not gendered, plus I already needed them for my kids. Haven't taken the plunge on a bidet yet
Totally fair, I used baby wipes and just threw them away before my bidet. Bought a cheap cold water only bidet and it changed my life! It’s especially good for periods and cleaning for butt stuff. And horrid shits.
Are they biodegradable?
No, but neither are my kids' diapers. The way I see it is there are far worse things I could do to the environment and far more impactful changes I can make on my life for the environment than consuming 3-4 packs of baby wipes a year. I'm sure I'll convert to a bidet sometime but right now I've got bigger fish to fry
Something I've seriously considered is how you can just add a hose and nozzle "bum gun" to your existing toilet water supply valve and you just need to affix a little mount for it on the wall. Hardware stores have kits for this that aren't particularly expensive.
It's definitely much cheaper than a whole porcelain piece of furniture or one of those fancy seats that probably wants access to your Wi-Fi and an account subscription. XD
I noticed my in-laws had these things while we were house sitting for them, and dared to try it out. Weird at first, but(t) AMAZING.
So I walk around all day with swamp ass. Pass, will continue to use regular, actually flushable TP.
Same reason I never shower after sweating. Why would I add more water. Study it out, sheeple!
Clean with bidet, dry with tp. Also uses less tp
