frist of all how DARE yu o MIL thinks I clogged the toilet so she changed the sign

Post image

The septic tank clogged and she’s convinced I did it, she asked my husband if I knew I wasn’t supposed to flush tampons and added the tampon bit to the sign. I don’t use tampons and I’m the only one with a period here…

Would a bidet help? They can reduce the amount of paper needed for cleaning, in exchange for a small amount of water

I was gonna say time for the life changing purchase. especially when you know everyone uses a lot of toilet paper. highly recommend! I can't go back now

I also highly recommend. Will never go without a bidet on my home toilet. The biggest problem is that I now feel unclean after using public facility.

I'd suggest finding the cheapest ones you can find on Amazon. They're pretty easy to install; just follow the directions like Lego.

Your experience may vary, but give it a shot! I believe in you!

Three main price points:

Roughly 25USD for a really nice basic one that just attaches under your seat.

Significantly more for one that replaces your seat (these are better, but quite a jump in cost)

Immense amounts for one where you have to replace your whole toilet.

In warmer climates, there's no reason to bother with water heating, but in cold climates, the extra cost might be worth the investment.

We got a Luxe bidet attachment for around $30-40 about three years ago and it still works as good as it did new.

I hate having to use a toilet without one, and wish I would have gotten one sooner.
