How much money are people spending on toilet paper? Worrying about cost per wipe seems like one of the least economically productive things one can do.

  We were starting to blow our household/toiletries budget every month so we found another brand we all agreed on that's a little lower quality but has more sheets per roll and we started landing in budget again. I didn't do any analysis beyond that.

    I would suggest actually doing a small analysis on the idea of replacing that with a bidet. It will be surprising how it is more cost effective and comfortable option.

      I’ve been hearing people talk about the miracles of bidets online for years. I took a trip to Tokyo a few years back and thought I’d finally see what all the fuss was about. I have to say, I absolutely hated it. After the first week I gave up even trying to use it. The seat warmers were also pretty unpleasant, imo. There were some pretty cool automatic seat covers that I liked, but most of the other stuff I wasn’t a fan of.

        Half of the awfulness is the surprise, the second half is getting the smallest possible delta between water and sphincter temperature. Lol ! I think bidets are kind of cool, but other than for your private ensuite they’re pretty impractical. Toto has the best temperature control systems though IMHO

    I'll second the bidet. It's not only more economical, but so, so much cleaner.
