Bidets are amazing and cheap. You can get one to fit any existing toilet for $40, and you won’t believe how clean you feel.
Never flush wipes – there’s no such thing as ‘flushable’ wipes. They say that because the wipes won’t necessarily clog the pipes inside your house, but they absolutely accumulate in sewers, leading to the issues in this article.
A bidet drastically cuts TP usage (some of us still use a very small amount for drying). Remember the Great TP Crisis of 2020? It was really nice not having to worry about that at all.
Squeaky clean starfish, and great for the environment. It amazes me everyone doesn’t have one.
Are people wiping with grease now?
Some people flush paper and wipes, other people wash bacon grease down the sink, those combine to make fatbergs. Both things contribute – but if you do neither, the problem decreases.
That makes sense. I've been using a bidet for years; there's no going back!
I was until I got my bidet!
I'm surprised that some downvoted your comment when bidets just make sense
it basically saves you money longterm and keeps your butt nice and clean
I didn't downvote it but it seems out of place for an article about people dumping cooking grease down the drain.
It’s not just the grease. These stories come up every few years (the recent major fatberg in London was what pushed me to get a bidet), and they’re caused by a combination of grease, paper, and ‘flushable’ wipes.
Some of us find them unpleasant. Not that I downvoted.
