Results: Has the corona virus made you rethink bidets?
Published on 03/29/2020
Americans use on average, 50 pounds of toilet paper per person per year, or as a nation, 7 billion rolls. We make up 4% of the world's population, but due in part to the low usage of bidets, we consume 20% of the world's toilet paper supply, and about 50% more than people in other Western countries. But - until now, it's something we've for the most part taken for granted.

When I saw there were shortages of toilet paper, I bought a bidet attachment. We installed it a week ago, and have only used about a half a roll of toilet paper total since then. Since then, I noticed many bidets have been out of stock on amazon. Have you bought a bidet since the pandemic started? Yes
