I'm a man in my 70's and I just installed my first bidet a little over a year ago. There are not a whole lot of things I cherish in this world, but let me tell you, this is at the top of my very short list. If you don't have one, GET IT NOW. It will be the most rewarding thing you've ever done for yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just installed a cold bidet attachment and I can't say I like the feeling of the cold water jet, in fact it feels awful. Is warm water a night and day difference?
Got our Tushy bidet during the great toilet paper crisis of 2020 and it is wonderful. We don't have the spa model so the water is usually cold, but not unbearable. Towel drying works the best for me.
Actually cold water ( not freezing water ) is better for the anus than normal water... never wash with hot water... why ? because the anus is already very hot and more heat is bad for it....take it from a person who used hot water for some years and had an uncomfortable episode that i got for doing it....
@notfiveo i understand. maybe present americans cant leave the habit of using toilet paper....but future generations should be taught the usage of water
@@JacobChacko3008 I agree. Here’s the weird thing about Americans and bidets. Let me pose just one question to someone who doesn’t understand them or who finds them off-putting. I’m going to make dinner for you. But first, I’m goint to go poop. I’ll give you a choice before I make your dinner for you. 1. Wash my hands in the sink, or 2. Just rub my hands a couple times with a dry paper towel. You can only pick one of the above options before I make your dinner. I know which one you’re going to pick - it’s the same one I would pick. And that’s what a bidet is compared to toilet paper. The only thing that’s actually weird or off-putting is that, as a nation, we still seem to prefer toilet paper! Why??? I’d rather be clean.
@@babybirdhome i just got interested with bidets and i absolutely love the example you gave. after learning the convenience & environmental impact, i truly don’t see why people would *prefer* to use toilet paper! i use tp right now, not because i *prefer* to, but because i live with my parents and i don’t have enough money right now to purchase a great bidet. soon to come though!
It's just still insane to me that everyone created a self perpetuating madness around TP like that..all TP is made domestically, it's cheaper than importing obviously, unless a factory exploded it was never going anywhere. but everyone is told there's a shortage, goes full Greek myth and ensures the prophecy by creating one, first happened in Au then repeated everywhere haha It would have made me lose faith in the intelligence of humanty, but anti 5G lunatics and anti vaxxers had already filled that quota by that time hahah
I went to school in France, so am familiar with the use of a bidet. I also, it seems, have a bad reaction to the chemicals used in T.P. production. My own 1950s bathroom is so tiny there's just no room to add bidet equipment to the toilet, so I went in another direction 10 years ago when I decided to do my part to protect the environment. I made some 8 x 8 flannel squares which are stored in a basket next to the commode. I use a turkey baster to clean with first, then the squares, which I put into a sealed plastic collection container after use. I have saved a fortune at the grocery store, and I imagine I've saved a few trees along the way. My daughter thinks I'm an escapee from a hippie commune.
@@chaoswitch1974 Additional plumbing for water supply is impossible in my setup unless I invest in a complete remodel, so I must do the next best thing.
@@kathryncooper4001 With all due respect, have you seen a simple bidet/toilet combo, a la SE asia? it's nothing more than the spray hose you would find on a kitchen sink. really doesn't sound like it would be too difficult to add to any bathroom big enough for a human to fit into. a T fitting is maybe 2 or 3 inches long.
Totally love the Tushy Bum Towels. Just bought another set in a different color. And yes they’re soft and easy to use. Note: you’re not wiping your butt with the towels, you’re just pat drying the sprayed water. I use one towel for like 1-3 days depending on how much I use it. I haven’t used TP in over a year, and that blows me away. Wish I used a bidet decades ago. Would of saved a lot of money.
I use it after a piss too, at the Las Vegas Paris where hubby took me on our honeymoon was my first introduction of this wonderful invention! For women during that time of the month, I always felt squeaky clean. Love them bidets, and so did hubby! Italy is way ahead of us.
Thank you for addressing that. I was wondering about that. As a woman who uses tampons, would this be a problem? I am just thinking of the water spraying up there and I would have to keep changing the tampon everytime.I just needed to pee.
@@F3v7-xgto3mIf I’m correct, the bidet should have a water pressure nodule that you can put on low so it doesn’t shoot up so fast, I recommend that but have never used a tampon and a bidet at the same time in my experience.
I've recently started working on going paperless or "almost" paperless. I have a hand held bidet and use it after every toilet use. To save paper I dry off using old washrags. I keep a little toilet paper for company. I've also started using cloth hankies instead of klennex (keep one box for company). Use cloth knapkins and am working on using cloth for cleaning instead of paper towels. I've enen crocheted dishrags and I like them better than sponges. Also make my own toothpaste and laundry soap and am getting ready to start learning how to make my own bar soap.
@@edwardantrobusjr2253 I am using goat milk soap made by someone else and it is wonderful. But it is expensive and I am trying to cut costs also. I have used plain lye soap before and I love it. It is really gentle for sensitive skin like mine. So that is what I will be learning how to make.
Gosh! Imagine the energy you use to wash those rags, heating the water, soap from petroleum products, all the electricity using the washing machine. Maybe if you heat the creek water by the sun, use sand for soap, wash in the creek, etc. You people have lost your minds!😂
@@katherinepll You need to go research how paper products are made. All the natural resources and chemicals used for that will blow your mind. Also, I use cold water only and use all natural soap berries for washing laundry.
@@marshadavis8670 I have family members in that industry as well as the forestry industry. We have plenty of land, and trees are renewable. Planting and selling are done every year. It takes much more energy to keep cloths clean than it does to make paper products. If you are using towels for toilet paper, I really hope you are not washing them in cold water! And you also need bleach!
When I bought my first wand bidet attachment, I also bought a basket and a dozen 12" x 12" wash cloths for $10 Target. Haven't worried about toilet paper in my home since.
I've used old white wash cloths for years.....I have a stack of them and replace when needed..... I throw them into the washing machine with bleach..... I really save on bathroom tissue
I have lived in Egypt for 30 years. It is amazing that Westerners are still finding this fascinating. Washing your bottom with water is obviously the right way.
I have visited countries (3rd world) to work and used toilets with pits, so squatting was involved. Water was not provided but I think some countries or cultures do provide water for "cleaning'. However, soap was not available afterwards. Sand or dirt or vegetation was available.
We went a little more upscale when we went for the bidet system in the two bathrooms of our new house. Our heinie washers have various settings from gentle upside down rain to ai-yi-yi blast-off ramjet, straight spot stream to oscillating, adjustable seat temp, water temp, and hot air dry temp. The hot air dryer doesn't do a very good job all by itself but a quick blot with a little TP, way less than you would use for wiping, gets all the drips and drops, and the hot air blower then gets it the rest of the way dry. We will never go back to pooping and smearing with TP, like a savage. The bar has been raised. Our standards are now higher.
@@cynthiacrawford6147 You will love it. Hands-free, or nearly hands-free hygeine, absolutely rocks. Toto is the brand to beat, but they are a bit expensive. The wife likes hers, with the remote control. I prefer the push button control arm right there next to the seat. Either way is fine. We looked at all-in-one toilet/bidet systems but the problem is when one component goes out and is no longer manufactured, the whole setup is done, and that is a lot of money down the drain. The bidet seat mounted on a conventional toilet is in our view, much better. Good bidet seats start at around $300 and at the $600 to $900 range, it just doesn't get any better. There are very inexpensive options that basically are just water nozzle and a valve hooked to the water supply, and no electronics or adjustment or heating, just squirt squirt squirt, and they are worth considering if you are on a severe budget. Under $100, there are lots of models out there. But cold water, down THERE, to me that is not luxury. In the winter it would be punishment. If there are men in your house, they will appreciate having the long oval toilet bowl and seat, rather than the more compact round bowl. Costs a few bucks more, but worth it. Be sure and read all the reviews before you pull the trigger on a model that you don't like. On the face of it, I think vendors would be reluctant to accept returns.
I also went with a semi-mid range Toto and couldn’t be happier. Wireless lighted remote (after pushing a button), adjustable position for guys _and_ gals, 10 pressure levels, 5 heat levels for the water, for the seat, and for the air dryer, pulse mode (vaying pressure), oscillating mode (varying position), soft close lid and seat… basically most of the fancy stuff. I will never, ever go back to TP. I always try to time my business to make sure I get to do it at home now. I hate going in public places or other people’s homes now and it used to be the other way around. I wish I had switched decades ago! Toto is the brand they mostly use in Japan, and let me tell you, the Japanese know what they’re doing. I had doubts going in but they were as quickly removed as the Klingons orbiting Uranus. And for drying, honestly sometimes I don’t even use the air dryer - everything is so clean and there’s really not that much water left over afterwards. I live in the desert so I’m pretty much dry by the time I reach the hallway anyway.
Love, love, love my Tushys. I have 6 in my 2 homes and the cleanest bum in the neighborhood. I keep a stack of wash cloths for drying and a small bin for the laundry, washing with the towels each week.
So if you’re using the towel to dry or washcloth, why use a bidet if it says it will dry your bottom then it should dry your bottom otherwise it is false advertising
We have a bidet but I find if I have a soft stool I have to wipe vigorously before even using the bidet….then I have to wipe after using it. I’m not sure there’s a big saving in toilet paper in the end.
Great info. I don't have a bidet,....but this has always been a question I needed an answer for. I didn't think a wet tushy, would feel good going back into your briefs. So, thanks!
Nice job. My head is spinning right now. So much great info. The bamboo TP sounds great. Nothing is worse than a trip to Uranus and winding up with klingons! Its always important to make sure the paper work is done well in the end. On the hole I support your work. All joking aside great job. Thank you.
Not using paper products was one of the two reasons I installed bidets in my home in 2013. I got my wife to get some dish-sized cotton towels and cut them up into smaller squares. We use those and then launder them Ten years later, we are using the same cloths.
I bought a bidet during the pandemic and love it. Can't not use it anymore. However, I have found that the bidet doesn't always remove all the "residue" and that I'll sometimes still have to follow up with a couple wipes of toilet paper after patting dry with the towel. So, I guess it's reduced my toilet paper use a bit, but ultimately, for me, results in a better and more comfortable clean overall than toilet paper alone.
In the beginning after I finished using the bidet I would do a few test wipes to see if there’s anything left and there wasn’t. Trust me I’m very through when it comes to cleaning. Make sure your water pressure knob and 100 percent opened and then make sure your bidet water pressure is 100 percent as well. Then make sure you are constantly adjusting your bum at different angles to make sure you hit ever spot. Works for me every time
Yeah, I noticed occasional residue early on, but learned to improve my technique. I start with low low pressure and move my butt around a bit. Then I go to high pressure to power blast all the nooks and crannies. Then another low pressure, final rinse. 100% clean all the time now. Since I don't have room for a separate hamper to place used cloth towels, I use TP to dry. But even so, my TP usage is drastically reduced from before I had bidets.
I had trouble at first also. I figured out I wasn't washing long enough and needed to move around some. I went from 5 seconds to around 15 to 20 and added a few sways and wiggles and its really clean now. I still use a couple of squares of tp for a check wipe but rarely find anything anymore.
I worked in Thailand and they used a kitchen sink style spray. Now I Have one hooked up on my toilet and use Scott tissue and it works great and a roll of paper lasts me a month. You do have a dedicated valve to turn down the water flow down and have a good aim.
I bought a bidet at the start of the pandemic that shall not be named. Toilet paper was scarce back then, so we decided to use soft and fluffy bunnies. We never had to worry about the supply. Those little wascally wabbits multiplied and now we have a petting zoo. Just don't pet the brown ones.
Her shirt is positively disgusting and just for kicks. People should go up to her and ask her about her butt hole. I mean, how rude can you be at least use the word bum or behind. the way it is written I feel it should say pooper scooper or something else really disgusting. There is no way in hell. I’d wear a shirt like that.
I have a problem with doing #2 randomly throughout the day (or night) so used the toliet a lot. TP use irritated me even more.Decided to look into a bidet attachment. Problem:cold water squirted at my bum....not pleasant.Maby rich people have a way around this,but we mere mortals do not.So I looked into what else was available on Amazon.LOTS! I decided on a portable hand held unit with a bottle for the water (warm from the faucet) which had a rechargeable top.It works great. Then,for the dying I either just air dryed by wiggling around (LOL) or used face cloths which are like the "bum cloths" but I am sure much cheaper.Anyway,I am very happy with my improvised solution.
I put in a biden not to save, but after the latest spinal fusion my arms won't reach there real well. I do an after shot to clean up. Paper is typically a "byproduct" of lumber. The waste wood from the sawing process makes the pulp that makes paper. Other "tree farms" specifically grow trees to harvest for the pulpwood industry. Sustainable.
Paper requires a huge number of whole trees. Maybe sawdust from lumber-making might get thrown into the paper-making mix, but lumber byproducts alone wouldn't be a tiny fraction of what's needed for paper production.
@@dkhnova I worked at a couple sawmills since 1982 so here is little education on the process. Clean wood chips are a byproduct of the sawing process used for pulp. The last mill I worked at would send 35-40 rail cars of chips a week to Longview Fiber in western Washington. We were a small mill back then, so I cannot imagine the sheer volume of chips they received from the other mills that were still running at the time. I guess my point is trees are a renewable resource. When properly thinned they will have a better outcome than the wildfires that plague the west. (Burned trees lose value quickly)
@@tt600pch Still, it's not correct to say that paper is a byproduct of the lumber industry. The majority of the raw material needed to make paper comes from whole trees. The less paper we use, the fewer trees we'll need to cut down. Water and trees are both renewable, but water is much more environmentally friendly (and also less expensive) to deliver to your house than paper. Thus the benefit of using water and little (or no) paper to clean your butt after using the toilet.
As I was sitting here pondering my failure of a life, I found this video. I would just like to thank you for your passion, care, and concern for the anuses of fellow humans everywhere.
@@Mj-CWO4 point is.....Pines don't regrow all that fast. Also, thought the subject was about what to clean your butt with? If you prefer a Pine 2 x 4......go for it.
Idk where that 141 # came from but as a single dad with son we use maybe 2 rolls a month. So high end 24 rolls a year. Now we opened our home to a family and began using one a day so women use far more then children unsupervised will use a whole roll.
Using electrical appliances in the bathroom is not recommended due to the possibility of getting an electric shock. Shaver sockets are designed to protect against shock.
Ok, without soap, fecal bacteria will not simply rinse off of your butt with a little water. As soon as you pat your cheeks dry, you've transferred trace amounts of fecal matter to the towel, and it will transfer to whatever else that towel touches, next. Keep that in mind the next time you pick up, or put down, one of these butt-towels. A single use, before tossing it into a dedicated bin with a surface that can be effectively sterilized, would be about the only way I can see to use a towel in this manner without exposing yourself to E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and/or Vibrio.
A friend of mine does this, she cloth diapered her kids and she uses a similar setup for the towels, tosses them into a sterilizer-filled bucket until it's time to wash them
I'm curious how you bring this topic up only when we try to have an alternative to clean when the only way we have been was wiping it off with toilet paper...
Hi there! Thank you for your comment! I ended up using my roommates old bidet for a period of time and really loved it. I purchased many tushy towels and simply adore them. I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively pre-wash them before I put them in the washing machine as I would love to use them exclusively instead of toilet paper, but don't feel totally comfortable throwing them directly into the washing machine at my folk's place. Love the bidet though. So simple, easy, and effective. @@Kcseales
@LexiMathis thanks for the reply. I ended up getting a bidet. I love it. Second best purchase this year, after my rolex. But actually, my bidet might be the best purchase, since I use it the most. Thanks again for getting back to me. Cheers!
When I went to Tokyo, the hotel I stayed in had the most fabulous toilet. Computerized, all the fancy features. It was glorious and if I had the moola, I would install one in my house. Seat warmer, blow dryer, deodorizer were just a few of the features.
Well, are the bamboo towels really more sustainable if you have to use more water and energy to wash them every week? Not to mention I'm guessing it probably costs you more in water and energy vs a one tissue/sheet of TP per visit to the toilet.
I have been transitioning my entire personal hygiene routine to reusable and more sustainable options. I have been thinking about a bidet for a little bit now and seriously considering the change, especially since it is removable rather than a permanent attachment
Why the cost of a bidet? Why not use the spray gun on a hose. The Bum Gun. Much cheaper to buy and connect. I'm a Brit. Raised to use toilet paper.Since living in Thailand I've not used toilet paper. A sprayed bottom and your own towel in the toilet, does the trick. I always carry a neckerchief in my pocket to pat myself dry on the rare occasions I need the toilet outside of the house. When I go abroad I really miss my Bum Gun. They do make portable ones for travelers.
I'm looking for #2 options. I've been using cloths and a sealed container with a lid for #1 for years. I have many environmentally conscious hygiene habits so it just seems like it is time to work on this area. Previous to this batch I had found a microfiber cloth meant for mops at Daiyso and cut it in fours, never unraveled and lasted for years. Great video.
Do you only use the bidet after taking a poo or do you also use the bidet after taking a pee? Because in the videos of people talkin about bidet I always get the feeling they are just using it after pooping or for monthly hygiene but I actually also like using it after peeing (I am a female)
@@jomangeee What humans like or don't like is subjective. As a dentist I can tell you some patients do not like to have their teeth cleaned, yet the majority of my patients do like the feeling. So I think the response to a bidet is similar.
As a nurse, I praise and encourage everyone to use a bidet. It really cuts down or eliminates UTIs, for one thing. After giving birth l can think of nothing better for a new mom to have. After hemorrhoid surgery, they are a total blessing I hear! As a user, I wish every toilet in the world came equipped with one. It washes you both front and back if you get the right model, not just the back or only after poop as the video leads you to believe. I bought one because $18 for a package of toilet paper is atrocious, and of course there was a shortage during Covid! My bidet paid for itself by NOT buying three large packs of TP! THREE! Mine is not the brand advertised in the video. I also bought the cheapest package of Walmart washcloths I could find. I cut those in half, finished the raw edges on my serger, fold them in thirds and stack them in a pretty basket next to my toilet. You could certainly use a whole wash cloth as well if you don’t sew. After the poo, wash, then use TP to be sure you are clean. Use more as needed to ensure you are clean, washing before each use. Then dry. Disposable products are expensive - period. I use a net bag from the laundry section (Amazon, Walmart, or Dollar Tree) to put my used towels in, zip it closed, and toss it into the laundry. You can also buy a portable bidet, which is a small bottle with a perfectly positioned and battery operated spray head. I highly recommend both!
I love using my bidet, however because of previous (pretty bad) hemorrhoids during and after pregnancy, I don’t get completely clean with just the bidet. There is still something left in the “nooks and crannies.” I tend to use damp (not wet) small washcloths that get me clean and dry enough after the bidet.
I don't have hemorrhoids, but my bidet, even with the strong jet, doesn't get me squeaky clean, so what's the solution? I would use the little towels if the bidet got "it" all.
BioBidet has several models. I got a "deluxe" midel that has a remote control, adjustable seat and water temp, adjustable time, adjustable position, oscillation, heated blow dryer (that doesn't really get you dry), charcoal air filter, and choice of female, rear, and rear jet. I still have to wiggle on the seat sometimes to get just the right spot. Suggestion - always flush after going, then use the bidet. This helps reduce splashing contamination back onto your rinsed bottom.
I feel like such a dumb American right now. WE just installed a shower that came with a bidet with warm water & I'm on you tube trying to figure out how 🤔 the heck this all works & learned BAMBOO sounds amazing. WHAT ELSE are they not telling us !!! Thank you best video explanation so far 👍
Love using my bidet. I'm so disappointed when I have to go at work. I use 4 squares to pat dry but I'm definitely going to give the mini towels a look. I wonder how they compare in size and price to a washcloth or dish towel. Just don't mix with your actual dish or wash cloths. Lol
I used Audie Murphy toilet paper which was rough and tough but would not take shit off nobody. Graduated to star trek toilet paper that was guaranteed to circle your arse and wipe out cling on's but still did not feel clean enough. My Bidet jet blasts rubble that is stuck in the valley of the shadow and i keep a blow dryer right close so I can dry without touching .
I don’t dry, although my bidet seat has a drier. I have to wear an incontinence pad any way, which is more than enough for spare drips. I don’t really notice any wet feeling in the pooping region.
Right from the start, there were so many funny puns that I am going to get one of these this weekend!!! HiLARIOUS PRODUCT SALESMANSHIP!!! Well played, Clerks; well played....
I’ve lived in Asia for well over 20 years and have had built-in bidets for most of that time. Ours has a built-in fan to er blow dry your but afterwards but that takes time so often it’s toilet tissue for us. We’ve found a soft recycled one here and are very careful on how much we use
Hi Yolanda! Sounds like you need to spray for longer and use the combination of the angle of your body and the nozzle adjuster to get the desired result. Maybe even a little wiggle int he booty. It may take a second to get the right flow or outcome, but feel free to keep trying!
Then you can pat dry with our reusable, ultra-comfy Tushy Towels or our super sustainable Bamboo Toilet Paper. Using TUSHY dramatically reduces the amount of TP needed by about 80%. Endless, irritating wiping turns into just a few nice pats when you’re using TUSHY!
You make a good point about the water that goes into creating a roll of tp (although I am inclined to question whether this water is truly "consumed" or if it is reused or reccyled somehow). But the trees we use to make paper are renewable. Forests are logged pursuant to a plan, and forestry management is meant to ensure that the cutting helps the forest and that the forest is able to sustain itself and its current levels of growth. Trees grow back! If we stopped using paper, we wouldn't need the trees to be there, and there is a risk they would be destroyed to build more roads and houses. Using paper keeps more trees around, not the opposite
If I understand you correctly, the sprayed water from the bidet simply washes away your poop. You can move around a little too make sure it’s hitting all the right spots. I typically spray for like 5-10 seconds. When you first start using it, you can use TP to see how clean you got. Sometimes there might be little miss residue but for the most part you can get clean, and often more clean than wiping with toilet paper. Let me know if you have other questions.
@@IMOO1896 , sorry to hear that you’re experiencing that. Basically what I do is I move my butt around to get the cleaning done. If it’s a big dump it might take up 30+ seconds of washing to get the job down. Seriously I can’t see how it doesn’t do the job. All it’s doing is spraying the poop away. Move you butt around so it can get to all the areas. There might be some residue afterwards so you pat dry and clean with TP. At best it can reduce the amount of TP you’re using or in some cases eliminate it all together. I use Tushy towels for pat drying. I never use TP anymore.
@@crystaljesa816 Exactly what Im talking about Crystal. I dont get it either. I just thought today that I might try the travel bidet first (not spending a whole lot of $$ ) and see how that goes. A bidet can be a big commitment for some of us.
@@crystaljesa816 Maybe try wiping a little and as much as you can first, using the bidet, then patting. I've never had peanut butter poop so, I don't know.
Hi! I have a question about how hygienic this process is w/out soap🧼. The thought of just spraying water on my tonto or butthole w/out soap.... doesn't sound appealing to me fully. I feel like I wouldn't feel 100% clean
I poop several times day unfortunately due to IBD :( so that one tiny box of tissues wouldn't last me more than one day lol. I'd probably be better off with the bamboo towels.
The best way I found to dry is to just sit on a micro cloth. Dry the frontal area and by the time you Finnish drying up front you stand and the micro cloth has absorbed the water used on the buns
Buy a bidet add-on type that replaces your toilet seat and many have a mini water heater, directional controls, drying blower and many more options! They rock!
Easy to install, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
bidets were first pushed as a way to eliminate the use of toilet paper, but now we still need paper to dry off. The towel may be a good idea but they're pretty much a single-use item. A family of four may go through 30-40 towels a week requiring a separate wash just for the towels. A bidet may be a great comfort idea but I'm not convinced of the economy.
Using a towel to dry off makes a lot of sense. It's a small area so a hand towel isn't necessary. Towelling wash cloths in a specific colour for identification should be enough. 40 of those are cheap enough and should fit into 1 laundry load.
I personally would not feel clean with a bidet. And then you have to wipe anyway. No way am I going to “Pat dry” and leave an odor. Hard pass on the bum…ok for the front end though.
@@christinaslocum8761 LOL, You're leaving more of an odor swiping with dry toilet paper. If you changed a baby's diaper, would you just wipe your hands with a dry paper towel before eating? No, you would definitely wash them.
Yes, I'm not convinced of the economy or inconvenience of the towels. 40 or 50 towels for my family, laundered in hot water, laundry soap, running the dryer, folding/rolling 50 towels and delivering them to three bathrooms. Gathering used towels and holding them for a week to do a laundry load.
We use little “bumrags” that I make from old, heavy-weight tshirts or flannel shirts. 5 1/2” squares, double thickness, do a zigzag stitch diagonally across each pair of squares. They go in a basket (so they don’t stay damp) and then laundered once a week.
Bum towl would be great, but 2 kids at home and 4 that visit. Plus my partner and I. Let's say we each have 1 bowel movement per day and 2 or 3 pee. We would go through so many towels, it would be a whole wash in itself after a day (I know, I'm exaggerating, but you get what I mean.. I would need a stack of towels in constant supply). TP would be easier, but problem for environment. So I don't know which way to lean
Hi Mike! Totally understandable! You can try our Bamboo TP! Bamboo products are not only soft like a baby panda's bottom and absorbent for optimal butt patting, but(t) bamboo is also a sustainable resource. Bamboo absorbs 35% more CO₂ per hectare than equivalent plants and can grow up to 39 inches in just one day. That means that bamboo is ultra replenishable in addition to helping reduce deforestation (15% of deforestation is due to toilet paper production). Check out our Bamboo TP here: hellotushy.com/products/premium-bamboo-toilet-paper-36-rolls
Since having an electronically controlled bidet seat on each of our toilets, we stopped purchasing and/or using toilet paper. We especially enjoy a refreshing spray followed by a warm gentle dry air blast. Friends In another city bought a house with 3 bathrooms, each with "plumbed-in" bidet. Many of those have very few function🤡.
Bamboo Towels concern: Microfiber causes pollution through washing & wearing. Plastic particles washed off from products such as synthetic clothes contribute to 35% of the primary plastic polluting our oceans. Every time we do our laundry, an average of 9 million microfibers are released into wastewater treatment plants that cannot filter them.
I'm a man in my 70's and I just installed my first bidet a little over a year ago. There are not a whole lot of things I cherish in this world, but let me tell you, this is at the top of my very short list. If you don't have one, GET IT NOW. It will be the most rewarding thing you've ever done for yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We totally agree, Bobby! And hey, welcome to the Clean Butt Club!
Awesome, thanks! I'm stoked about getting one lol
NO WAY! I find them weird.
I agree, my wife asked why I didn't buy 2...lol
I just installed a cold bidet attachment and I can't say I like the feeling of the cold water jet, in fact it feels awful. Is warm water a night and day difference?
I just got a bidet a couple days ago and I LOVE IT!! Can't believe I lived without it for my whole life
Me too. I love my new bidet. America needs to make these standard in every new house/apartment
Got our Tushy bidet during the great toilet paper crisis of 2020 and it is wonderful. We don't have the spa model so the water is usually cold, but not unbearable. Towel drying works the best for me.
Actually cold water ( not freezing water ) is better for the anus than normal water... never wash with hot water... why ? because the anus is already very hot and more heat is bad for it....take it from a person who used hot water for some years and had an uncomfortable episode that i got for doing it....
@notfiveo i understand. maybe present americans cant leave the habit of using toilet paper....but future generations should be taught the usage of water
@@JacobChacko3008 I agree.
Here’s the weird thing about Americans and bidets. Let me pose just one question to someone who doesn’t understand them or who finds them off-putting.
I’m going to make dinner for you. But first, I’m goint to go poop. I’ll give you a choice before I make your dinner for you.
1. Wash my hands in the sink, or
2. Just rub my hands a couple times with a dry paper towel.
You can only pick one of the above options before I make your dinner. I know which one you’re going to pick - it’s the same one I would pick. And that’s what a bidet is compared to toilet paper.
The only thing that’s actually weird or off-putting is that, as a nation, we still seem to prefer toilet paper! Why??? I’d rather be clean.
@@babybirdhome i just got interested with bidets and i absolutely love the example you gave. after learning the convenience & environmental impact, i truly don’t see why people would *prefer* to use toilet paper! i use tp right now, not because i *prefer* to, but because i live with my parents and i don’t have enough money right now to purchase a great bidet. soon to come though!
It's just still insane to me that everyone created a self perpetuating madness around TP like that..all TP is made domestically, it's cheaper than importing obviously, unless a factory exploded it was never going anywhere. but everyone is told there's a shortage, goes full Greek myth and ensures the prophecy by creating one, first happened in Au then repeated everywhere haha
It would have made me lose faith in the intelligence of humanty, but anti 5G lunatics and anti vaxxers had already filled that quota by that time hahah
I went to school in France, so am familiar with the use of a bidet. I also, it seems, have a bad reaction to the chemicals used in T.P. production. My own 1950s bathroom is so tiny there's just no room to add bidet equipment to the toilet, so I went in another direction 10 years ago when I decided to do my part to protect the environment. I made some 8 x 8 flannel squares which are stored in a basket next to the commode. I use a turkey baster to clean with first, then the squares, which I put into a sealed plastic collection container after use. I have saved a fortune at the grocery store, and I imagine I've saved a few trees along the way. My daughter thinks I'm an escapee from a hippie commune.
How about a Spray Bottle???
Don't fill it up ... just add enough for each use so it's always warm ☺️
They're just a toilet seat with some attachments for the hot and cold water. I have one in my tiny bathroom.
@@chaoswitch1974 Additional plumbing for water supply is impossible in my setup unless I invest in a complete remodel, so I must do the next best thing.
@@kathryncooper4001 With all due respect, have you seen a simple bidet/toilet combo, a la SE asia? it's nothing more than the spray hose you would find on a kitchen sink. really doesn't sound like it would be too difficult to add to any bathroom big enough for a human to fit into. a T fitting is maybe 2 or 3 inches long.
Seriously a turkey baster? Get a peri spray bottle and be done.
Totally love the Tushy Bum Towels. Just bought another set in a different color. And yes they’re soft and easy to use. Note: you’re not wiping your butt with the towels, you’re just pat drying the sprayed water. I use one towel for like 1-3 days depending on how much I use it. I haven’t used TP in over a year, and that blows me away. Wish I used a bidet decades ago. Would of saved a lot of money.
That's amazing and a worthy investment for sure!!! Think of all the money you've saved on TP alone.
Nice knowing you. NOT.
@@peterolbrisch8970 Grow up little Peter. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Although to put one in your home is like $1,500.
@@nancyjohnson5810 You over complicate things. I don't trust your method. I don't trust you.
I use it after a piss too, at the Las Vegas Paris where hubby took me on our honeymoon was my first introduction of this wonderful invention! For women during that time of the month, I always felt squeaky clean. Love them bidets, and so did hubby! Italy is way ahead of us.
Thank you for addressing that. I was wondering about that. As a woman who uses tampons, would this be a problem? I am just thinking of the water spraying up there and I would have to keep changing the tampon everytime.I just needed to pee.
@@F3v7-xgto3mIf I’m correct, the bidet should have a water pressure nodule that you can put on low so it doesn’t shoot up so fast, I recommend that but have never used a tampon and a bidet at the same time in my experience.
I've recently started working on going paperless or "almost" paperless. I have a hand held bidet and use it after every toilet use. To save paper I dry off using old washrags. I keep a little toilet paper for company. I've also started using cloth hankies instead of klennex (keep one box for company). Use cloth knapkins and am working on using cloth for cleaning instead of paper towels. I've enen crocheted dishrags and I like them better than sponges. Also make my own toothpaste and laundry soap and am getting ready to start learning how to make my own bar soap.
What about soap made from goats milk?
@@edwardantrobusjr2253 I am using goat milk soap made by someone else and it is wonderful. But it is expensive and I am trying to cut costs also. I have used plain lye soap before and I love it. It is really gentle for sensitive skin like mine. So that is what I will be learning how to make.
Gosh! Imagine the energy you use to wash those rags, heating the water, soap from petroleum products, all the electricity using the washing machine. Maybe if you heat the creek water by the sun, use sand for soap, wash in the creek, etc. You people have lost your minds!😂
@@katherinepll You need to go research how paper products are made. All the natural resources and chemicals used for that will blow your mind. Also, I use cold water only and use all natural soap berries for washing laundry.
@@marshadavis8670 I have family members in that industry as well as the forestry industry. We have plenty of land, and trees are renewable. Planting and selling are done every year. It takes much more energy to keep cloths clean than it does to make paper products. If you are using towels for toilet paper, I really hope you are not washing them in cold water! And you also need bleach!
When I bought my first wand bidet attachment, I also bought a basket and a dozen 12" x 12" wash cloths for $10 Target. Haven't worried about toilet paper in my home since.
Except if u reuse your bunny and toss it in ur bunny basket it harbors germs.
@@cherylschmied9851 bunny?... is that what you call a hand towel?
still need TP for guests
I've used old white wash cloths for years.....I have a stack of them and replace when needed.....
I throw them into the washing machine with bleach.....
I really save on bathroom tissue
I have lived in Egypt for 30 years.
It is amazing that Westerners are still finding this fascinating.
Washing your bottom with water is obviously the right way.
That's how it's done in the Philippines.
Same! I live in Europe. Very common.
I have visited countries (3rd world) to work and used toilets with pits,
so squatting was involved. Water was not provided but I think some countries or cultures do provide water for "cleaning'. However, soap was not available afterwards. Sand or dirt or vegetation was available.
Rather use my tongue
It definitely is. People relying so much on TP so much is SO ridiculous and I'm an American myself. 😅
I have explored around your website - this is answering questions and has advice that the doctors do not bother with. Thank you!
We went a little more upscale when we went for the bidet system in the two bathrooms of our new house. Our heinie washers have various settings from gentle upside down rain to ai-yi-yi blast-off ramjet, straight spot stream to oscillating, adjustable seat temp, water temp, and hot air dry temp. The hot air dryer doesn't do a very good job all by itself but a quick blot with a little TP, way less than you would use for wiping, gets all the drips and drops, and the hot air blower then gets it the rest of the way dry. We will never go back to pooping and smearing with TP, like a savage. The bar has been raised. Our standards are now higher.
I feel the same about cups and discs for women. Hearing your post has seriously made me look into bidets. Thanks.
@@cynthiacrawford6147 You will love it. Hands-free, or nearly hands-free hygeine, absolutely rocks. Toto is the brand to beat, but they are a bit expensive. The wife likes hers, with the remote control. I prefer the push button control arm right there next to the seat. Either way is fine. We looked at all-in-one toilet/bidet systems but the problem is when one component goes out and is no longer manufactured, the whole setup is done, and that is a lot of money down the drain. The bidet seat mounted on a conventional toilet is in our view, much better.
Good bidet seats start at around $300 and at the $600 to $900 range, it just doesn't get any better. There are very inexpensive options that basically are just water nozzle and a valve hooked to the water supply, and no electronics or adjustment or heating, just squirt squirt squirt, and they are worth considering if you are on a severe budget. Under $100, there are lots of models out there. But cold water, down THERE, to me that is not luxury. In the winter it would be punishment.
If there are men in your house, they will appreciate having the long oval toilet bowl and seat, rather than the more compact round bowl. Costs a few bucks more, but worth it.
Be sure and read all the reviews before you pull the trigger on a model that you don't like. On the face of it, I think vendors would be reluctant to accept returns.
OMG! I want the ai-yi-yi ram jet one! Thanks for the laughs!
@@janeta3509 Buy a "Dyson AirBlade" hand dryer. Mount it upside down on the wall, three feet above the floor. lol
I also went with a semi-mid range Toto and couldn’t be happier. Wireless lighted remote (after pushing a button), adjustable position for guys _and_ gals, 10 pressure levels, 5 heat levels for the water, for the seat, and for the air dryer, pulse mode (vaying pressure), oscillating mode (varying position), soft close lid and seat… basically most of the fancy stuff. I will never, ever go back to TP. I always try to time my business to make sure I get to do it at home now. I hate going in public places or other people’s homes now and it used to be the other way around. I wish I had switched decades ago!
Toto is the brand they mostly use in Japan, and let me tell you, the Japanese know what they’re doing. I had doubts going in but they were as quickly removed as the Klingons orbiting Uranus.
And for drying, honestly sometimes I don’t even use the air dryer - everything is so clean and there’s really not that much water left over afterwards. I live in the desert so I’m pretty much dry by the time I reach the hallway anyway.
Love, love, love my Tushys. I have 6 in my 2 homes and the cleanest bum in the neighborhood. I keep a stack of wash cloths for drying and a small bin for the laundry, washing with the towels each week.
Hi Karen! Thank you for the TUSHY love and support!
Gross. Do you disinfect your washer?
Dude using a bidet is more hygienic than tissue
Presumably you've inspected all of them to be sure of your conclusions?
So if you’re using the towel to dry or washcloth, why use a bidet if it says it will dry your bottom then it should dry your bottom otherwise it is false advertising
We have a bidet but I find if I have a soft stool I have to wipe vigorously before even using the bidet….then I have to wipe after using it. I’m not sure there’s a big saving in toilet paper in the end.
Wouldn't you save with not using toilet paper for peeing then? 🤔
Great info. I don't have a bidet,....but this has always been a question I needed an answer for. I didn't think a wet tushy, would feel good going back into your briefs. So, thanks!
I was wondering how we would manage in Europe, where bidets seem to be standard.
your rump is a 100 degree oven
Problem with bamboo tp is that it doesn’t break down as easily in a septic tank. I’ve been through that kind of backup. Wasn’t fun.
I was wondering about that, especially with all the low-flow toilets.
We won't use it for that reason- we live in the country, so septic is the only choice.
Nice job. My head is spinning right now. So much great info. The bamboo TP sounds great. Nothing is worse than a trip to Uranus and winding up with klingons! Its always important to make sure the paper work is done well in the end. On the hole I support your work. All joking aside great job. Thank you.
funny
Not using paper products was one of the two reasons I installed bidets in my home in 2013. I got my wife to get some dish-sized cotton towels and cut them up into smaller squares. We use those and then launder them Ten years later, we are using the same cloths.
Yes simple.
What color are they...
Why tell her to do it? Why not do it yourself?
@@watchinglclowns9890 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼💯💯
Ewwww
Never, have I enjoyed an ad-info-video so much! YOU, are great!
This video deserves a (I hesitate to use the expression) thumbs up. It's just a damn good and useful video.
I love that y'all are still active on this channel!
I bought a bidet during the pandemic and love it. Can't not use it anymore. However, I have found that the bidet doesn't always remove all the "residue" and that I'll sometimes still have to follow up with a couple wipes of toilet paper after patting dry with the towel. So, I guess it's reduced my toilet paper use a bit, but ultimately, for me, results in a better and more comfortable clean overall than toilet paper alone.
That's what it does, _reduce_ the amount of Toilet paper used. Toilet paper is still needed, bidets won't make it obsolete.
You sure you're using it right? Get that water up there!
In the beginning after I finished using the bidet I would do a few test wipes to see if there’s anything left and there wasn’t. Trust me I’m very through when it comes to cleaning. Make sure your water pressure knob and 100 percent opened and then make sure your bidet water pressure is 100 percent as well. Then make sure you are constantly adjusting your bum at different angles to make sure you hit ever spot. Works for me every time
Yeah, I noticed occasional residue early on, but learned to improve my technique. I start with low low pressure and move my butt around a bit. Then I go to high pressure to power blast all the nooks and crannies. Then another low pressure, final rinse. 100% clean all the time now. Since I don't have room for a separate hamper to place used cloth towels, I use TP to dry. But even so, my TP usage is drastically reduced from before I had bidets.
I had trouble at first also. I figured out I wasn't washing long enough and needed to move around some. I went from 5 seconds to around 15 to 20 and added a few sways and wiggles and its really clean now. I still use a couple of squares of tp for a check wipe but rarely find anything anymore.
For those that are solo and short on cash, old wash cloths or rags can also work well.
Great suggestion, Janet!
I worked in Thailand and they used a kitchen sink style spray. Now I Have one hooked up on my toilet and use Scott tissue and it works great and a roll of paper lasts me a month. You do have a dedicated valve to turn down the water flow down and have a good aim.
Known affectionately as a bum-gun
I bought a bidet at the start of the pandemic that shall not be named. Toilet paper was scarce back then, so we decided to use soft and fluffy bunnies. We never had to worry about the supply. Those little wascally wabbits multiplied and now we have a petting zoo. Just don't pet the brown ones.
😂😂😂😂😂 best comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love this😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
You da man
🤣🤣🤣 funny I never had an issue with TP supply.
Have been using a traditional French bidet for forty years. I dry with small hand towels, which go in the wash after one use.
I would have to burn my washing machine if I washed those things in it. Could get expensive! 😂
Excellent video! Good narration with humor!
"Ask me about my butthole!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I fucking can't with that shirt 🤣
Is it bleached?
@@fivestring65ify more importantly... is it blown out? or is it just lightly used?
Her shirt is positively disgusting and just for kicks. People should go up to her and ask her about her butt hole. I mean, how rude can you be at least use the word bum or behind. the way it is written I feel it should say pooper scooper or something else really disgusting. There is no way in hell. I’d wear a shirt like that.
@@fivestring65ifyThis takes me back to Brides maid's (the comedy movie) 😂😂
I have a problem with doing #2 randomly throughout the day (or night) so used the toliet a lot. TP use irritated me even more.Decided to look into a bidet attachment. Problem:cold water squirted at my bum....not pleasant.Maby rich people have a way around this,but we mere mortals do not.So I looked into what else was available on Amazon.LOTS! I decided on a portable hand held unit with a bottle for the water (warm from the faucet) which had a rechargeable top.It works great. Then,for the dying I either just air dryed by wiggling around (LOL) or used face cloths which are like the "bum cloths" but I am sure much cheaper.Anyway,I am very happy with my improvised solution.
I put in a biden not to save, but after the latest spinal fusion my arms won't reach there real well. I do an after shot to clean up. Paper is typically a "byproduct" of lumber. The waste wood from the sawing process makes the pulp that makes paper. Other "tree farms" specifically grow trees to harvest for the pulpwood industry. Sustainable.
Paper requires a huge number of whole trees. Maybe sawdust from lumber-making might get thrown into the paper-making mix, but lumber byproducts alone wouldn't be a tiny fraction of what's needed for paper production.
I'm impressed that you got a biden to clean you're butt, I have to do it myself. 😉
@@dkhnova I worked at a couple sawmills since 1982 so here is little education on the process. Clean wood chips are a byproduct of the sawing process used for pulp. The last mill I worked at would send 35-40 rail cars of chips a week to Longview Fiber in western Washington. We were a small mill back then, so I cannot imagine the sheer volume of chips they received from the other mills that were still running at the time.
I guess my point is trees are a renewable resource. When properly thinned they will have a better outcome than the wildfires that plague the west. (Burned trees lose value quickly)
@@tt600pch Still, it's not correct to say that paper is a byproduct of the lumber industry. The majority of the raw material needed to make paper comes from whole trees. The less paper we use, the fewer trees we'll need to cut down. Water and trees are both renewable, but water is much more environmentally friendly (and also less expensive) to deliver to your house than paper. Thus the benefit of using water and little (or no) paper to clean your butt after using the toilet.
Funny you calls yours a Biden. I call mine a Trump and I dump in it daily.
As I was sitting here pondering my failure of a life, I found this video. I would just like to thank you for your passion, care, and concern for the anuses of fellow humans everywhere.
Like the bamboo TP but FYI after trees are cut down they too grow back.
Good catch lol
I’m not gonna lie, I clicked because of your shirt! I love it lol!
Hi Tasha! Then get it here: hellotushy.com/collections/tushy-merch
Great personality! Love your energy and presentation skills!
How does 1 individual go through nearly 3 rolls per week. Im in the UK and there are 200 sheet on a roll.
141 rolls a year! That's a new roll in less than three days! My family of four does not use that much combined. I cannot believe this average.
No fr.
A “Tushy” ambassador.
Just for your information paper mills use pine trees that are replanted and grow back fast
I grow both, Pines & Bamboo. The bamboo shoots grow to full height (30/40 ft) in one season. The Pines take years to get to the same size.
Bamboo isn’t used for building in the USA that I know of
@@Mj-CWO4 point is.....Pines don't regrow all that fast. Also, thought the subject was about what to clean your butt with? If you prefer a Pine 2 x 4......go for it.
@@hokep61 maybe not like bamboo but they grow back pretty fast
Idk where that 141 # came from but as a single dad with son we use maybe 2 rolls a month. So high end 24 rolls a year. Now we opened our home to a family and began using one a day so women use far more then children unsupervised will use a whole roll.
Right?! 141 is an outrageous number lol I live by myself and maybe use 15 rolls a year, if that
That's 2.7 rolls a week. I didn't even watch the rest of the video after she spouted that. Not to mention pulp wood is sustainable.
I keep an old hair dryer handy and use that to dry off. It has two heat settings and I use the lowest one. Works great.
Using electrical appliances in the bathroom is not recommended due to the possibility of getting an electric shock. Shaver sockets are designed to protect against shock.
Just don't fart you could cause a explosion.
@@michellebyrom6551 so where would you use a hairdryer if not in the bathroom?
Ok, without soap, fecal bacteria will not simply rinse off of your butt with a little water. As soon as you pat your cheeks dry, you've transferred trace amounts of fecal matter to the towel, and it will transfer to whatever else that towel touches, next. Keep that in mind the next time you pick up, or put down, one of these butt-towels. A single use, before tossing it into a dedicated bin with a surface that can be effectively sterilized, would be about the only way I can see to use a towel in this manner without exposing yourself to E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, and/or Vibrio.
Imagine how much fecal bacteria stays by just using toilet paper only and not water
A friend of mine does this, she cloth diapered her kids and she uses a similar setup for the towels, tosses them into a sterilizer-filled bucket until it's time to wash them
I'm curious how you bring this topic up only when we try to have an alternative to clean when the only way we have been was wiping it off with toilet paper...
So looking forward to getting a bidet of my own! This video was so informative and you are so cute! Love the bamboo products! Much love!
Did you end up getting one?
Hi there! Thank you for your comment! I ended up using my roommates old bidet for a period of time and really loved it. I purchased many tushy towels and simply adore them. I'm still trying to figure out how to effectively pre-wash them before I put them in the washing machine as I would love to use them exclusively instead of toilet paper, but don't feel totally comfortable throwing them directly into the washing machine at my folk's place. Love the bidet though. So simple, easy, and effective. @@Kcseales
@LexiMathis thanks for the reply. I ended up getting a bidet. I love it. Second best purchase this year, after my rolex. But actually, my bidet might be the best purchase, since I use it the most. Thanks again for getting back to me. Cheers!
When I went to Tokyo, the hotel I stayed in had the most fabulous toilet. Computerized, all the fancy features. It was glorious and if I had the moola, I would install one in my house. Seat warmer, blow dryer, deodorizer were just a few of the features.
People in the USA use an average of 141 rolls of TP a year? How is that possible? Or do they have very small rolls?
No, they have very big .....
Well, are the bamboo towels really more sustainable if you have to use more water and energy to wash them every week? Not to mention I'm guessing it probably costs you more in water and energy vs a one tissue/sheet of TP per visit to the toilet.
I have been transitioning my entire personal hygiene routine to reusable and more sustainable options. I have been thinking about a bidet for a little bit now and seriously considering the change, especially since it is removable rather than a permanent attachment
What are you waiting for? Shoot us an email at hello@hellotushy.com if you have questions!
We loved ours so much we bought a second one for our other toilet.
Why the cost of a bidet? Why not use the spray gun on a hose. The Bum Gun. Much cheaper to buy and connect. I'm a Brit. Raised to use toilet paper.Since living in Thailand I've not used toilet paper. A sprayed bottom and your own towel in the toilet, does the trick. I always carry a neckerchief in my pocket to pat myself dry on the rare occasions I need the toilet outside of the house. When I go abroad I really miss my Bum Gun. They do make portable ones for travelers.
@@ronaldmartin7892 The hose with prayer is the cheapest, fastest and easiest to install and use .
Get anything that pays for itself in savings within a few years. As long as the product lasts.
I'm looking for #2 options. I've been using cloths and a sealed container with a lid for #1 for years. I have many environmentally conscious hygiene habits so it just seems like it is time to work on this area. Previous to this batch I had found a microfiber cloth meant for mops at Daiyso and cut it in fours, never unraveled and lasted for years. Great video.
Do you only use the bidet after taking a poo or do you also use the bidet after taking a pee? Because in the videos of people talkin about bidet I always get the feeling they are just using it after pooping or for monthly hygiene but I actually also like using it after peeing (I am a female)
Both! There's a switch on the console that allows you to aim the stream :)
Definitely both! Mine has a "feminine" setting but still doesn't quite hit right, so I have to move forward a bit. But I've got it down to an art. 😂😂
@@rkkiefer9283 does it feel good?
@@jomangeee What humans like or don't like is subjective. As a dentist I can tell you some patients do not like to have their teeth cleaned, yet the majority of my patients do like the feeling. So I think the response to a bidet is similar.
@@williambranham6249 I think you missed the point! It was too much sharing
As a nurse, I praise and encourage everyone to use a bidet. It really cuts down or eliminates UTIs, for one thing. After giving birth l can think of nothing better for a new mom to have. After hemorrhoid surgery, they are a total blessing I hear! As a user, I wish every toilet in the world came equipped with one. It washes you both front and back if you get the right model, not just the back or only after poop as the video leads you to believe. I bought one because $18 for a package of toilet paper is atrocious, and of course there was a shortage during Covid! My bidet paid for itself by NOT buying three large packs of TP! THREE! Mine is not the brand advertised in the video. I also bought the cheapest package of Walmart washcloths I could find. I cut those in half, finished the raw edges on my serger, fold them in thirds and stack them in a pretty basket next to my toilet. You could certainly use a whole wash cloth as well if you don’t sew. After the poo, wash, then use TP to be sure you are clean. Use more as needed to ensure you are clean, washing before each use. Then dry. Disposable products are expensive - period. I use a net bag from the laundry section (Amazon, Walmart, or Dollar Tree) to put my used towels in, zip it closed, and toss it into the laundry. You can also buy a portable bidet, which is a small bottle with a perfectly positioned and battery operated spray head. I highly recommend both!
I'm using a travel bidet until I can convince my family to make the move to a proper bidet. I really appreciate this video!
Good presentation with hidden ADVERTISEMENT in between. Thanks
I just use a peri bottle, myself - plus I can take it with me when I am out and about, too. And a little cloth for drying.
Wow.!!! You could sell ice makers to antarctic explorers.! Tushy towels are on my list of absolutly needed items now. LOL loved the show.
I love using my bidet, however because of previous (pretty bad) hemorrhoids during and after pregnancy, I don’t get completely clean with just the bidet. There is still something left in the “nooks and crannies.” I tend to use damp (not wet) small washcloths that get me clean and dry enough after the bidet.
I always do.
A doctor can take care of hemorrhoids pretty easily.
@@lynfl9814, you would think so, but I went to Yale New Haven hospital for them, and they didn’t.
I don't have hemorrhoids, but my bidet, even with the strong jet, doesn't get me squeaky clean, so what's the solution? I would use the little towels if the bidet got "it" all.
Loving the comedic touch 😂 💩 🚽
Okay okay I'm sold! I can't wait to get my hands on my first bidet!
Is there such a thing as a bidet that includes a blow dryer?
Yes! Our TUSHY Ace has a blow dryer!
BioBidet has several models. I got a "deluxe" midel that has a remote control, adjustable seat and water temp, adjustable time, adjustable position, oscillation, heated blow dryer (that doesn't really get you dry), charcoal air filter, and choice of female, rear, and rear jet. I still have to wiggle on the seat sometimes to get just the right spot. Suggestion - always flush after going, then use the bidet. This helps reduce splashing contamination back onto your rinsed bottom.
What about a jet dryer?
I feel like such a dumb American right now. WE just installed a shower that came with a bidet with warm water & I'm on you tube trying to figure out how 🤔 the heck this all works & learned BAMBOO sounds amazing. WHAT ELSE are they not telling us !!! Thank you best video explanation so far 👍
Yeah it’s really crazy how common bidets are outside the us
my question is how to keep the bidet clean. it seems like it will get dirty from ascending after spraying. How does it stay clean?
It self cleans
Love using my bidet. I'm so disappointed when I have to go at work. I use 4 squares to pat dry but I'm definitely going to give the mini towels a look. I wonder how they compare in size and price to a washcloth or dish towel. Just don't mix with your actual dish or wash cloths. Lol
I used Audie Murphy toilet paper which was rough and tough but would not take shit off nobody. Graduated to star trek toilet paper that was guaranteed to circle your arse and wipe out cling on's but still did not feel clean enough. My Bidet jet blasts rubble that is stuck in the valley of the shadow and i keep a blow dryer right close so I can dry without touching .
😂
I just ordered a bidet today. I actually am so excited to use it lol. T.p is gross and a hassle to have to buy all the time
🎄🌴 Trees do grow back & are a renewable resource.
With the added benefit of NOT putting shlt in your washer!
I don’t dry, although my bidet seat has a drier. I have to wear an incontinence pad any way, which is more than enough for spare drips. I don’t really notice any wet feeling in the pooping region.
Right from the start, there were so many funny puns that I am going to get one of these this weekend!!! HiLARIOUS PRODUCT SALESMANSHIP!!! Well played, Clerks; well played....
Love the videos with Carrie! She does a great job
where can i get that t-shirt!
Amazing how you managed to make this into a 6 minute video.
Thank you for the video. Now I know what a "bidet" is.
what about electric blow dryers (like hand dryers but made for bum), I'd like to get a review to know which is the best
I used my blow dryer. It worked great. It could be dangerous though and uses a lot of energy. Maybe a fan would be nicer.
@@purplegirl8036 that's a good idea
That shirt must be a nice conversation starter. 👌
New subscriber here!! Very interesting channel and video!!
I wanted to know... & I think sideshows are a smart gimmick. nice work, thanks for sharing, enjoy, gracias
Gosh, where can I get one of those tshirts?

Just the vid i've been looking for.
I’ve lived in Asia for well over 20 years and have had built-in bidets for most of that time. Ours has a built-in fan to er blow dry your but afterwards but that takes time so often it’s toilet tissue for us. We’ve found a soft recycled one here and are very careful on how much we use
I don't think the bidet gets the tushy clean enough to just pat dry. Or am I wrong?
Hi Yolanda! Sounds like you need to spray for longer and use the combination of the angle of your body and the nozzle adjuster to get the desired result. Maybe even a little wiggle int he booty. It may take a second to get the right flow or outcome, but feel free to keep trying!
Then you can pat dry with our reusable, ultra-comfy Tushy Towels or our super sustainable Bamboo Toilet Paper. Using TUSHY dramatically reduces the amount of TP needed by about 80%. Endless, irritating wiping turns into just a few nice pats when you’re using TUSHY!
You make a good point about the water that goes into creating a roll of tp (although I am inclined to question whether this water is truly "consumed" or if it is reused or reccyled somehow). But the trees we use to make paper are renewable. Forests are logged pursuant to a plan, and forestry management is meant to ensure that the cutting helps the forest and that the forest is able to sustain itself and its current levels of growth. Trees grow back! If we stopped using paper, we wouldn't need the trees to be there, and there is a risk they would be destroyed to build more roads and houses. Using paper keeps more trees around, not the opposite
Where did you get the shower curtain!!!!????
Every poop is not a clean poop. Can someone explain how a bidet would get you clean without using a lot of tp. Or direct me to that video. Thanks!
If I understand you correctly, the sprayed water from the bidet simply washes away your poop. You can move around a little too make sure it’s hitting all the right spots. I typically spray for like 5-10 seconds. When you first start using it, you can use TP to see how clean you got. Sometimes there might be little miss residue but for the most part you can get clean, and often more clean than wiping with toilet paper. Let me know if you have other questions.
@@IMOO1896 , sorry to hear that you’re experiencing that. Basically what I do is I move my butt around to get the cleaning done. If it’s a big dump it might take up 30+ seconds of washing to get the job down. Seriously I can’t see how it doesn’t do the job. All it’s doing is spraying the poop away. Move you butt around so it can get to all the areas. There might be some residue afterwards so you pat dry and clean with TP. At best it can reduce the amount of TP you’re using or in some cases eliminate it all together. I use Tushy towels for pat drying. I never use TP anymore.
@@crystaljesa816 Exactly what Im talking about Crystal. I dont get it either. I just thought today that I might try the travel bidet first (not spending a whole lot of $$ ) and see how that goes. A bidet can be a big commitment for some of us.
@@crystaljesa816 Maybe try wiping a little and as much as you can first, using the bidet, then patting. I've never had peanut butter poop so, I don't know.
Hi! I have a question about how hygienic this process is w/out soap🧼. The thought of just spraying water on my tonto or butthole w/out soap.... doesn't sound appealing to me fully. I feel like I wouldn't feel 100% clean
WOW! There are videos for everything! Love it!
I just take 2 steps over into my shower and use my handheld shower head on stream setting. Much more water pressure and it’s warm too.
I had a toilet seat bidet installed. Best purchase ever! USA 🇺🇸 and bamboo tp. 😊
I poop several times day unfortunately due to IBD :( so that one tiny box of tissues wouldn't last me more than one day lol. I'd probably be better off with the bamboo towels.
Yeah my bladder is active so it doesn’t seem like enough.
this all new to me but I love it I'm getting it now nice video thanks a lot👍
The best way I found to dry is to just sit on a micro cloth. Dry the frontal area and by the time you Finnish drying up front you stand and the micro cloth has absorbed the water used on the buns
Lol. What, do you have a chair in your bathroom. How silly. I have 3 kids that are always at my feet. I don't have time for that.
I kinda want one of those tshirts. How can I get one 😂
Great video though I do feel like some of the puns are low-hanging dingleberries.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Buy a bidet add-on type that replaces your toilet seat and many have a mini water heater, directional controls, drying blower and many more options! They rock!
Easy to install, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjA-hDN2m8_mi0Dg0JD8U6QiArozIAc4I and comfortable. No idea what other people were talking about when they said it was difficult to install or uncomfortable.
Do you deliver in Sweden?
bidets were first pushed as a way to eliminate the use of toilet paper, but now we still need paper to dry off. The towel may be a good idea but they're pretty much a single-use item. A family of four may go through 30-40 towels a week requiring a separate wash just for the towels. A bidet may be a great comfort idea but I'm not convinced of the economy.
Using a towel to dry off makes a lot of sense. It's a small area so a hand towel isn't necessary. Towelling wash cloths in a specific colour for identification should be enough. 40 of those are cheap enough and should fit into 1 laundry load.
I personally would not feel clean with a bidet. And then you have to wipe anyway. No way am I going to “Pat dry” and leave an odor. Hard pass on the bum…ok for the front end though.
@@christinaslocum8761 LOL, You're leaving more of an odor swiping with dry toilet paper. If you changed a baby's diaper, would you just wipe your hands with a dry paper towel before eating? No, you would definitely wash them.
Yes, I'm not convinced of the economy or inconvenience of the towels. 40 or 50 towels for my family, laundered in hot water, laundry soap, running the dryer, folding/rolling 50 towels and delivering them to three bathrooms. Gathering used towels and holding them for a week to do a laundry load.
We use little “bumrags” that I make from old, heavy-weight tshirts or flannel shirts. 5 1/2” squares, double thickness, do a zigzag stitch diagonally across each pair of squares. They go in a basket (so they don’t stay damp) and then laundered once a week.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THE T-SHIRT😂
Bum towl would be great, but 2 kids at home and 4 that visit. Plus my partner and I. Let's say we each have 1 bowel movement per day and 2 or 3 pee. We would go through so many towels, it would be a whole wash in itself after a day (I know, I'm exaggerating, but you get what I mean.. I would need a stack of towels in constant supply). TP would be easier, but problem for environment. So I don't know which way to lean
Hi Mike! Totally understandable! You can try our Bamboo TP! Bamboo products are not only soft like a baby panda's bottom and absorbent for optimal butt patting, but(t) bamboo is also a sustainable resource. Bamboo absorbs 35% more CO₂ per hectare than equivalent plants and can grow up to 39 inches in just one day. That means that bamboo is ultra replenishable in addition to helping reduce deforestation (15% of deforestation is due to toilet paper production). Check out our Bamboo TP here: hellotushy.com/products/premium-bamboo-toilet-paper-36-rolls
How should you wash your tushy rag thing? Hot or cold water?
Since having an electronically controlled bidet seat on each of our toilets, we stopped purchasing and/or using toilet paper. We especially enjoy a refreshing spray followed by a warm gentle dry air blast.
Friends In another city bought a house with 3 bathrooms, each with "plumbed-in" bidet. Many of those have very few function🤡.
So is this going to shoot cold water? Or does it warm the water first?
Depends on the model you buy.
Thank you for this… I wish Americans would drop the arrogant attitudes and start saving the planet.
Bamboo Towels concern: Microfiber causes pollution through washing & wearing. Plastic particles washed off from products such as synthetic clothes contribute to 35% of the primary plastic polluting our oceans. Every time we do our laundry, an average of 9 million microfibers are released into wastewater treatment plants that cannot filter them.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
Do bum towels come in dark brown?
