I recently read that less than 20% of the world uses toilet paper. Immediately, I felt pity on those poor souls. Too poor to afford toilet paper. How lucky am I.
Read on, young man.
Paper wiping is not good for you, the author said. What? You can hurt yourself and not do a good cleaning job on top of that.
(When I grew up, it was a favorite name to call a disliked person: "Shitass!" I don't hear that these days. What do young people call a person doing something they dislike?)
Back to the paper problem; turns out doctors who specialize in butt problems discourage paper use. Water is much better for you and does a much better job. Those poor people, we see in the river or stream, are better off for not having paper.
Now, think of all those trees being cut down for the sake of TP. I'm surprised the current administration of tree-huggers is not promoting a switch to water-washing along with their electric vehicles. More trees can save the world according to many.
A bidet is not a novelty for us - for many, it is a great necessity. When will we, in the USA, get the word?
There is an in-between alternative. Wetted wipes are available in your grocery store. Give them a try - you'll love it - at least until you clog your sewer system.
If you enjoyed this topic, let me know. If you've been called or heard another called a "shitass" recently, let me know about that, also.
