No TP? No Problem with a Bidet Toilet Seat
We are in strange times, no doubt about it, now that the novel coronavirus pandemic has arrived in Massachusetts. There has been an unprecedented run on toilet paper, but it won’t be a problem for those with a bidet seat on their toilet.
What is a bidet seat?
Most bidet seats on the market attach to your existing toilet. They have a movable or fixed nozzle that expresses water to cleanse your nether regions. More deluxe models have temperature control, air drying capability, and features for your hygiene and comfort.
There are also bidets on the market that are integrated as part of the toilet. These are typically more expensive. You may have experienced these on a trip abroad as they are quite common in Europe and other parts of the world.
Benefits of a bidet
