No toilet paper

For most Americans, toilet paper is an absolutely necessary grocery list item, but some women are opting out for both economic and environmental purposes.

In a HuffPost Live discussion, bloggers Angela Davis, Kathleen Quiring and Makala Earley explain why they've decided to go paperless, revealing that it's not as messy or unhygienic as it may sound.

'It is definitely possible,' insists Mikala, who says she and her husband stopped using toilet paper about a year ago. 'It is almost seen as a necessity [and] it doesn't have to be, and it's been a lot of fun to learn how to do it this way.'

I use rags rather than TP for urine and post-adult-activities cleanup.

I still say a bidet is perhaps a bit more sanitary. The concept is you spray first, then you wipe with the rag. A lot less visible matter would get on the rag which would make it safer to wash and therefore less likely to contaminate other materials. And you don't need a separate toilet, you can purchase these units that easily hook up to your toilet in an hour's time.

"The #1 Bidet sold in USA - 98% compatible to any toilet."

This gem from the Amazon page reminds me of Anchorman. "60% of the time, it works every time!"

How would one know if they like that w/o having to buy and install it?

You could get a fancy hotel room on your next vacation.  Fancy hotel rooms sometimes have them.

Just go try the display model at Home Depot.

More moustachian would be to video tape you trying the display model at Home Depot.  Somewhere on the internet is a group of people who would pay to watch that . . .

I did stay at one years back. I tried to use the thing, but it shot water on the ceiling, my face got sprayed, I shrieked and gave up. Maybe I'm not a bidet person? I am envisioning the ones you attach to the toilet are mire like a diaper sprayer, where it is handheld and you can position it as needed.

Well, TP isn't breaking the bank, either way. It just seems a waste of trees...

To be completely honest . . . most bathrooms have a shower in them.  If you have access to a shower head, you pretty much have access to a bidet.  After pooping just use the shower head to rinse off and then pat dry.

Your butt is clean with bidet but the push buttons on bidet might be contaminated.

You can get a bidet-type attachment for your toilet; it's called something like a Toto seat.  I don't think I have that quite right.  The catch:  You must have an electrical outlet behind /near the toilet, and most of us don't have that. 

Honestly, I think most of us could cut a lot of other extraneous expenses before we consider cutting back on TP.

Those seem like a nightmare to clean.  Actually normal toilet seats are a nightmare to clean -- too many nooks and crannies.

Toto is a brand.  We have Toto toilets (which, years ago, were the first 1.6gal toilets we ever saw that actually WORKED).  Toto also sells what they call washlets.  I can imagine one would be quite helpful for someone with a broken arm or shoulder surgery.

Just use a mug of water. Then use a rag or minimal tissue to wipe.

oh god now I'm thinking of getting one.  It looks like it's relatively easy to detach, take outside, and hose off

Here in the middle east the bidet hose is common. I really like it and I miss it when I travel, I will probably install them once we move back to Canada. However, some people waste a lot of water when using it.

I use a travel bidet, it is cheaper than an attachment for your toilet, and works fine. It doesn't work quite as well as the toilet attachment, but still works well enough for me. Would recommend especially for renters, and of course travellers

Explain this one to me.  Is it like aiming a super soaker at ur bum?

It's basically a squeeze bottle with an air valve on the bottom and an elongated nozzle that directs flow downward and at an angle when the bottle is squeezed. So when you tip it upside down holding it behind and below you as you sit on the toilet, water spray is directed up to your dirty business.

I have also noticed that it's easier to clean than a toilet attachment, which I've also owned.

I can't even picture this... do you have to squat? How can you sit and hold it pointing at your arse (can your arm go through the seat?)

Does this not get messy when the spray misses?

It's no messier than a regular bidet. Only the elongated nozzle need fit between your butt and the back of the toilet seat. Its about a half inch diameter. You sit normally on the toilet.
