Unless you never want to wash after using the toilet(in which case enjoy being dirty, your privilege) a hand held bidet sprayer is the most efficient way of accomplishing this and there is no electricity used. You can STILL use toilet paper(if you don't want to use a towel) you just don't need as much and you can use the softest stuff out there and you WOULD save money but hey if you've got money to burn and don't like washing stick with your old habits. I don't like giving up mine either.

In fact is more expensive. The cost for water in many places has shot up (so did the cost of electricity). Both needed for washing out the towels you ask people to use instead.<br /><br />On the subject of towels, do you propose using a fresh clean one each time, a personal towel (doesn't really work in large families [more than 1 child]), or a common shared towel?<br /><br />Most people can't afford a fresh towel each time they go (when I was pregnant I went over 15 times a day which in normal for pregnant women), and individual towels seem never to stay individual in families, and I won't even start on the unsanitary conditions of a community towel (UTI comes to mind).<br /><br />Yes Dr Oz's faith comes to play in this when he is promoting as a healthy alternative a so-called "safe" answer to TP. So great that you have never witnessed what it is like to use one in Saudi for example. You might want to visit <a href="http://stilettosinthesand.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Sabra</a> and ask her how it wonderful it is to use a public bathroom that the toilet is a whole in the floor and a handheld bidet for TP.<br /><br />I realize you are in the business to sell bidets, but I am not. And I know that my tokhes is not going to be dripping wet after I do my business.<br /><br />I WANT SOFT TOILET PAPER!Findalishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02881549378886491540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181742352259947602.post-86674438919263673352009-12-10T10:43:40.205-06:002009-12-10T10:43:40.205-06:00David here, as much as I would love to call you a ...David here, as much as I would love to call you a few inane names I will refrain and stick to the subject. First of all I do not say that people should not use toilet paper. In fact I tell them they can use the soft stuff because they won't need much of it and won't have to feel guilty. If you can't imagine that it would take less toilet paper to wipe off a few drops of water compared to cleaning up after a good dump well...that's your problem. You say: "For a woman to urinate standing up, she would need more than a bidet, she would need a shower". I am talking about a hand bidet sprayer which in essence is a hand shower so thank you for advocating it. You then say: "Cloth towels are unsanitary at best. Can you imagine the germs living on those things? I wonder if David or Dr. Oz ever tried to get blood out of a towel". So you are telling me that if I use soap and water my towel is unsanitary? What about your hands after you wiped your butt? Where do you dry them? Oh, thats's different I guess? The simple fact is you have never used a bidet sprayer and you don't know what you're talking about. You use name calling and sloppy so-called analysis and even religion bashing to attack something that is new to you. Why are you so easily threatened by something that not only works better, it can save people money at a time when they could really use it? One last statement from you: "Why should we suffer like the idiots in Europe, South America, and Asia. Perhaps they should insist on soft, pillowy toilet paper too". Where to start with that one? Ok, idiots in Asia, like the ones in Japan who have toilets that wash you with warm water and dry you after? Or the ones in Thailand and Indonesia that have hand bidet sprayers and are cleaner than you will ever be? I would say who the obvious idiot is here but I promised not to call you names.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596298487715187790noreply@blogger.com
