My wife has two daughters from a previous marriage. It's been my first foray into having girls in the household. I've learned to just accept that the shower will clog with hair occasionally, and we have to buy 4 times as much toilet paper now. I've become a part time plumber.
- shados 7y agoGet bidet seats. Everyone will thank you and you'll thank yourself.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoIt’s so cheap and easy to install too, it’s shocking how it isn’t widespread yet.
- shados 7y agoIt is cheap, but if you have an electric outlet near by (or can invest in a minor renovation), the high end ones are worth every pennies. Auto cleaning, misting the edge of the bowl to avoid stuff sticking, warming the seat and water, adjustable jet, and even auo closing seat and auto flushing, or being able to flush with a button on the wall. It's glorious.
- marketingfool 7y agoCold water and wiping with a community towel. You forget how advanced we've become with disposable toliet paper.
- jsjohnst 7y agoModern bidets heat the water and the seat, and nobody I know with one (including myself) doesn’t have TP next to the toilet too, you just need very little of it.
- darkstar999 7y agoAs someone with a bidet, there's no way in hell I'm sharing a butt towel. The bidet wash isn't completely effective. It's not the same as sharing a hand towel.
- egdod 7y agoDo most bathrooms have electrical outlets right by the toilets? Mine sure don’t.
- asdfasgasdgasdg 7y agoMany bidets have mechanical valves and do not require electricity. Ones like this can be had for $20-30 on Amazon. We used one like this for many years, although when we bought our house we upgraded to electric.
- Pigo 7y agoThat's actually a good idea, as far as I'm concerned. Do you think the girls will appreciate it, or is it a big adjustment for them?
- astura 7y agoIf the girls want to give it a try they will almost certainly appreciate it. Everyone who has tried a bidet that I personally know has preferred it to just TP. Plus, I believe (from experience) that a bidet is essential if you're a mensurating girl or woman who uses sanitary pads. But the best thing about a bidet attachment is one or more toilet users can choose to not use it and it's not any different from a bidet-less toilet. It doesn't get in the way or anything, so it's there if you want it but not any inconvenience if you don't. My husband didn't use ours for the first year we owned it but after he eventually gave it a try he's now a regular user. Plus it's so ridiculously cheap ($40) that it's worth trying out.
- shados 7y agoIt takes them a bit more getting used to be they benefit more, too. Make sure to get a model that can adjust the jet angle sufficiently.
- specialist 7y agoI've gotten very good at snaking, clearing clogged traps. I despise doing it. These SinkShroom's have greatly improved my life. I put one each in my SO's tub and sink. They catch an impressive amount of hair. https://www.tubshroom.com https://www.tubshroom.com
- Pigo 7y agoInteresting, I'll check that out. What's always surprising to me is that along with all the hair, there seems to be some grease/black stuff that builds up with the hair. Not sure if that's something other people find.
- specialist 7y agoI assumed that stuff was makeup, like eyeliner.
- yibg 7y agoI find those too. I assumed it was all the various products that get used in the shower / tub like conditioner etc.
- philwelch 7y agoSnaking the shower drain is one of my guilty pleasures in life, it’s so disgustingly satisfying to pull all of those hair clumps out.
- crooked-v 7y agoI've had good luck with Whink Hair Clog Blaster making hair clogs vanish with minimal work.
