It takes a lot of water and energy to make toilet paper. Well, a lot more than turning on my bidet for 10 seconds.

    I would also add on that, unless you REALLY rocked that toilet, every poo becomes a single flush. Rather than potentially needing to double flush to avoid clogging it

    While you're shopping for a bidet also shop for an Australian toilet. The half flush saves a lot more water too but the proper s-bend makes everything a single flush even if you rocked it hard.

    and by rocked it I mean you filled it with mercury for some reason

    What's this now? There are a number of US toilets that have the dual flush feature, but what's this about a modified S bend?

    That's my secret, I've got a 50 year old toilet with a five gallon tank. There's nothing this bad boy can't take down.

    Ahh, that's an interesting angle I hadn't considered. I wonder if there's a way to quantify the water savings this way, like a volume of water per TP roll or something. I feel like that could be a solid selling point to get more people interested in buying one.
