Tushy
Because I couldn't think of just one title when I started writing this, I wanted to share some of the others in the running....
I'm Not Shitting You, This is THE...
Your Derrière Will Never Go Back
I've Got a Clean Butt & I Can Not Lie
They may not be that great, but they made me smile, so I thought I'd share :D
Anyway!!!
Bidets really aren't all that new. You probably remember hearing about them in History class or the famous line 'You Used Jay-Z & Beyonce's Matching His & Hers Bidets?', but finding one in person doesn't seem to happen too often {at least in the States}... until Tushy! This US-based company is making it easy for all of our bathrooms to enter the 21st century {because, let's face it, dry toilet paper is so 19th century, as they say}.
Why I Love Tushy
1. It gets the job done. I was apprehensive at first. I thought, 'Does this actually work?'. After introducing this little gadget into my life, I wish all toilets had one. Can we get a to-go version, please? :P
2. It saves toilet paper, which gives your wallet and the planet a break. Did you know Americans spend more on TP than any other country? It also takes 437 billion gallons of water to press the paper down. Not to mention the 253,000 tons of bleach and 15 million trees used in the process, too. You can replace that with a couple of sheets of bamboo TP and 1 liter of water.
3. It's healthier for you. Wiping with dry paper creates around 30 million annual cases of hemorrhoids, UTIs, yeast infections, anal fissures, anal itching, and other annoyances. So sustainability, to me, is about your health, too!
4. It's easy to install. If I can install it, you can. I'm not very handy, and if I have to use a hardware tool, I feel alien to the process. This gadget took me 10 minutes to get up and running.
5. It gives back. For every bidet sold, a family in rural India is given one month of access to clean community toilets.
How to Use Tushy
There are two types of Tushys - the Tushy Classic, which gives you a cool spray, and the Tushy Spa, which gives you a choice between cool and warm sprays. My boyfriend is all for the warm, but I like the cool. If you are next to a sink, you can use the Tushy Spa; otherwise, the Classic is more for your potty. They both have pressure & angle control and require no electricity or plumbing. Simply turn the knob to your preference, and voila - instant clean butt. It's seriously a bathroom game-changer. I don't think I ever want to go back :P
Of course, you don't want to be dripping wet, so I use a couple of sheets of Bamboo Toilet Paper to dry up. This guilt-free, two-ply TP is made with unbleached bamboo fibers. It comes in plastic-free packaging and is BPA-free for better health.
