Don’t Use Wet Wipes: Get a Toto Bidet Seat, Instead

If you’re one of the many Americans that uses wet wipes to clean your bum after “the go,” it’s time to reevaluate your approach.

While we love the good, old-fashioned wet wipe, there are a few problems with them. For one, you have to buy them. In bulk. At a store. With money.

Secondly, you have to use them. This is possibly the worst part, as it involves painstakingly folding and refolding a tiny napkin, and using your hand to clean yourself.

Finally, they can do some serious damage to your plumbing, and your city’s septic system at large. Don’t believe us? Take New York as an example: the city has spent more than $18 million in the past five years to rid its sewer systems of wet wipes buildup.

With this in mind, we’re here to tell you there is a better way. Ditch the wet wipes, ditch the toilet paper, and get yourself a toto bidet seat.

Here’s everything you need to know about why this is THE decision.

 

The Global Popularity of the Bidet

Think the bidet is some sort of wacky invention that’s nothing more than just a fad? Think again. Right now, 90 percent of households in Italy, Spain and Greece have a bidet installed in their bathroom, and anyone who uses one would tell you how great the experience is.

Originally rising to prominence throughout Asia, bidets have been shown to provide a more comprehensive cleaning experience. By removing the bacteria left behind by poo, they reduce the risks of bacterial infections, rectal discomfort, and a variety of health conditions that are, fortunately, easily avoidable.

Bidets can also cut down on the stress you feel surrounding the bathroom, too.  After all, dry wiping with toilet paper isn’t super fun, and it can cause irritation without even cleaning you entirely. Nobody has time for that.

Luckily, bidets reduce the risk of that happening and help keep you clean and comfortable for years to come.

 

Why Wet Wipes Ruin Everything

Wet wipes may seem innocent enough. After all, they’re basically just damp toilet paper, right?

Wrong.

Wet wipes can actually wreak havoc on the environment and the public utilities that run through your city.

According to Daily Mail, half of all sewer blockages in the UK are attributed to non-flushable products like wet wipes, which don’t dissolve the same way regular toilet paper does. As a result, the wipes congeal (yum!) in toilet pipes and cause blockages which sewer workers have endearingly termed “fatbergs.”

In some more wet wipe-dense places, the handy little wipers have been blamed for a whopping 90% of all sewer blockages.

Don’t want to be the guy (or girl) that clogs your city’s sewer system? Good call. Nobody wants to be that guy. There’s only one way out, though: use a bidet.
