Gadgets to help you overcome toilet paper panic

Who would have ever guessed we'd be putting so much thought, energy, and stress into toilet paper? But here we are. We now live in a world where there is a huge toilet paper shortage, and stores are rationing out packages. However, there are ways you can avoid the stress of not having those precious squares in your house: bidet accessories and toilets.

Tushy Bidet Attachment in Use

Just the words “toilet paper” are making some people break out in hives lately. Some people are in a toilet paper panic because they are down to just a few rolls. Some people are stockpiling value packs of TP like they might not be able to purchase any for two years. And others are breaking down the math of squares used per bathroom and how much toilet paper you actually need. (No, it’s not three of the big ones from Costco for a family of three for a few weeks. Stop hoarding.)

You have other choices. And they run from expensive to fairly inexpensive. And all of them are guaranteed to clean your tush—without the need for the toilet paper stress.

Why should I get a bidet?

First off, they’re cleaner. Much cleaner. People who have them rave about them. And they’re pretty much a standard in Europe. Don’t you want to be a little more European? Most bathrooms in the US don’t have the footprint for a bidet since they aren’t particularly common here, but there are alternatives, such as bidet attachments and bidet seats.

Secondly, they reduce paper waste and can lower the amount you spend on toilet paper. And don’t we all like to spend less money? It’s much more fun to spend those dollars on other things like these deals.

What do I need to look for in a bidet?

A lot of what you look for in a bidet is going to depend on how much you’re looking to spend. Got a hefty budget? Go for the Numi. Forget about warm water; you’ll have mood lighting and surround speakers. Have a little less money? Look for a bidet toilet seat that has an air dryer. Otherwise, just look for something that aims ye olde water stream where you need it to go. Clean is clean.

Show me the bidets!

Perhaps the best thing of all is that bidet attachments are pretty easy to install, and they can be installed on any toilet. All you need are the instructions and a willingness to say ta-ta to TP. And, lucky for you, we’ve picked some bidets and bidet attachments for you. All you have to do is buy and install, and your behind will be clean as a whistle.
