I've had one for years. Not only have I saved money on TP, they are better for septic tank systems.

The phrase ”penny wise but pound foolish” comes to mind.

One of our platoon sergeants suggested a way to use only one sheet of TP. I won't go into the gory details here on a family website, just use your imagination.

Lol... everybody is a comedian.

Personally I don't know of anyone who has a bidet... well maybe they have it in their ensuite?

A bidet does make sense, but I still don't know how to use it.

Is it true that you poop in the toilet, then move over to the bidet to have it wash you up?

Just get one of those fancy talking automatic Japanese toilets that clean you up and blow dry you afterwards

Bidets are very European and for some reason Americans never consider them. You just stay seated and push a button and it works its magic.
