Updates for a greener, simpler bathroom
In my recent “Space-Savvy, Low Waste Bathroom Swaps” post, I mentioned a product that we hadn’t yet tried, but intended to purchase: a bidet attachment.
Clearly this is not the chicest topic to cover on the blog. But after having the bidet attachment for a couple of weeks we see just how much toilet paper it saves, and I think that’s well-worth sharing. Plus, when I posted videos on Instagram Stories of us installing the bidet in the Cottage, the response was notably high, indicating to me that it was something I should discuss in greater detail. (Many viewers also inquired about our space-saving toddler training seat attachment, which I share and discuss below as well.)
Americans make, move and use 34 million rolls of toilet paper every day. The problem is not just the 54 million trees cut each year to keep up with demand, but also the enormous amounts of water, chemicals, and energy used in the destructive production process of toilet paper.*
It takes just 1 pint of water to properly wash with a modern bidet like the TUSHY. This modern bidet attachment easily attaches to your toilet in minutes— no extra inches required… and no need to continue store tons of extra toilet paper in your small home, apartment or office.
The Tushy isn’t the only thing that’s saving inches in the bathroom. West’s potty-training seat does too, since we don’t need to allocate floorspace for a stand-alone toddler toilet. The seat adapter even fits onto the bowl perfectly with the bidet attachment in place. (The Topseat comes in 2 sizes, for oval or circular seat models.)
We use Grovia’s multi-purpose wipes to dry off. They come in a variety of hues, so you can designate certain colors for certain uses. (An easy way to contain them for cleaning is via washable paper bags.)
So that’s it! Our most recent changes for a greener, less cluttered lil’ bathroom.
