"Toilet paper shortage or not, Americans should seriously consider the beauty of the bidet," writes Alex Abad-Santos.

Consumers utilize an average of approximately 57 toilet tissue sheets per day. Toilet paper is believed to be one of the favorable 20th-century conveniences that we take for granted. With the onset of panic buying of bathroom tissue and other paper goods due to the COVID-19 pandemic, now could be the right time to upgrade your toilets with modern technology.

A bidet seat can help save paper products and improve your hygiene. The added luxury to your bathroom experience is also not bad. Sales of these toilet attachments have skyrocketed.

According to Jason Ojalvo, CEO of the bidet company Tushy, he believes this might be the tipping point that will prompt Americans to start using bidets.
