7 Best Bidets To Stay Fresh And Save On Toilet Paper
Ever had to go without any TP on hand? Or have you ever clogged the toilet because you used too much toilet paper? (Don’t worry, we won’t tell!)
Well, there’s an alternative—and more sustainable solution—to consider: bidets. Bidets, whether as an attachment, seat, or full-on toilet, use water to give your booty a nice clean instead of relying on abrasive TP or environmentally harmful wipes.
There are typically two styles of bidets: manual and electric. Electric bidets require access to power or an outlet and often come with features like heated seats, air drying, or odor control. Manual bidets, on the other hand, don’t need an electrical hookup, but some manual models offer adjustable pressure and water temperature. (TL;DR: If warm water is important to you, an electric bidet will serve your needs at a higher price point.)
We’ve found seven of the best bidets offering an eco-friendly clean, including options for babies and travel. The brands below cover a wide array of features, price points, and styles; after all, the way we go is a personal preference. Whatever you choose, you’re guaranteed a clean bum.
If you’re not quite ready to go TP-free but want to consider a sustainable switch like bamboo toilet paper, check out our Who Gives A Crap review. And for more bathroom essentials, see our favorite natural and organic body washes.
