    It takes a lot of water and energy to make toilet paper. Well, a lot more than turning on my bidet for 10 seconds.

      I would also add on that, unless you REALLY rocked that toilet, every poo becomes a single flush. Rather than potentially needing to double flush to avoid clogging it

      Ahh, that’s an interesting angle I hadn’t considered. I wonder if there’s a way to quantify the water savings this way, like a volume of water per TP roll or something. I feel like that could be a solid selling point to get more people interested in buying one.

        I was curious a while ago and researched a little. Bidets are the environmental champ for butt cleaning.
