Thank you. Yeah, people still are fighting over toilet paper. An easy DIY would save money, it is cleaner and better for your skin, brings comfort to people with hemorrhoids, prevents toilet clogs and is better for the environment.
during the pandemic, I bought a portable bidet. It was too much water and didn't work. Since it looked like a mini shower head, I actually turned it into that - using it as a small shower head to use less water in the shower - just a small amount of water where I need it at one time and no letting the water run while I'm washing with soap. It didn't work as well as I had hoped, because I run out of water too quickly and have to refill with soapy hands. So I decided to take a sparklett's 5 gallon bottle and add a primo manual pump to it. So now I can use the portable bidet with that and that should work. I didn't try that yet, but every step gets me there.
YES! shampoo bottle with secured cap! i'm trying that one. after a long fruitless search for TP and only finding empty shelves, bidets are looking like a better option. panic buying and scarce resources forces people to change
Thanks. Im going to use the hair dye bottle for now until I install a hand held bidet sprayer. Actually my clear bottles are from Walmart, used for catsup/mustard. Super cheap I think they are $1 each.
Great idea! I realize you and people in other countries already do this, but to my fellow Americans - please be sure to regularly wash the handheld bottle and tubes you are using as a bidet. To dry off, use old wash cloths, or ripped up old t-shirts. Have a basket or bag by the toilet just for the used cloths. Throw the cloths away or wash them in really hot soapy water. Also, toilet paper really isn't all that necessary if you are at home and can shower off. 🙂
We are American and already use a bidet. We have a basket full of clean washcloths for drying off, and a basket to put those in. They are bright white and as long as you do a good job cleaning they will stay nice and white. I don’t like toilet paper. You wouldn’t just wipe poop off your arm with toilet paper and call it a day. So why do it to your butt. I would not use only a wipe either. Soap and water is the best.
Why do you assume Americans don’t know to wash the bottles & tubes but non Americans do? Why do you assume Americans need to be told and also need to have instructions on how to do so, including what to do with cloths used in the process, given to them? And since you feel they need this guidance, why then not tell them when/how to wash their hands, clean their toilet, wipe off bathroom counters & plumbing fixtures etc?
@@Tankergirl80 he/she is assuming that because most Americans do not use this kind of system after using the restroom. Most Americans use toilet paper, you go to the average American home and toilet paper will be stacked in their bathroom. So this idea of using a tabo, bidet, peri or other system of water and soap after peeing and pooping is most likely a new concept to the average American. So this person was just trying to give some helpful information to those Americans that since both have be taught that toilet paper only is the best and most hygienic way to wash your body ( which for obvious reasons it is absolutely not). hopefully I cleared some things up for you. Have a great day.
If I were a tp manufacturer, I would be nervous of how sales may drop after the covid19 lockdown if people now learning cheaper and easy alternatives decide to continue with the alternative.
I think we should all rethink how much disposable items we have been tending to use. There are not an infinite number of trees and we need them to breathe and help keep the air we have somewhat clean.
I worked in a tp warehouse and would gladly work anywhere else - the place caught on fire multiple times, including the machine I was on. ACtually they'd probably save money from avoiding burning the whole place down.
Much simpler: Just remove the little tube from a dollar store spray bottle and hold the bottle upside down. You just set the nozle to a jet. I just tried it, it works really well. Actualy the spray bottle didn't do the work. I 'd only tried it above my sink. When I tried it for real, the je spray wasn't strong enough. It would be ok to clean a baby though.
Go to Michael's craft store and in the cake section buy a couple of squeeze icing plastic bottles. They have 6 or 8 oz and other sizes. They work great. No mess, no tape or glue.
Thank you for taking the time to share your tips. Couple of questions: 1. do you point bottle top down? 2. How much water do you use each time? Notice the shampoo bottle used in this video is 25 FL Oz.
@@GeniusAsian I would go with the 6 to 8 oz bottle cause if you go any larger you will have a problem with positioning cause it will take up to much room. You can fill up two 6 or 8 oz bottles all the way up, one bottle for the front and one for the back. When you squeeze the bottle from the front, aim at a slight slant, aiming towards your target and give it a good squeeze. With the other bottle move your rump toward the front of the seat so that you have more room. From behind, angle your bottle and squeeze. The reason I get my bottles from Michael's is the plastic is a higher quality than the bottles you get on Amazon. The bottles on Amazon are cheap and the lid pops off. To dry yourself you can cut up some old fabric like old T- shirts or what ever you have handy that you don't need and keep your soiled cloth in a separate container and wash separately from your clothes. It's so easy once you get the hang of it. You will feel more fresh. Hope this helps.
@Victor Huang You would have to be STANCING/STAND UPUPRIGHT IN A FULL SQUAT POSITION Over Your Toilet (or a hole in the ground ), to Maneuver a Bottle that size. What are you planning on using to clean up the "Splattered Mess"? 🤢💩🤢
@@billyjack873 Thank you for confirming my own idea, (at least temporarily if necessary). Id have to be standing on my toilet seat with a bottle that large... Too precarious, Too dangerous... Im afraid of heights 🤣 Id probably fall & whack my head on the sink, having a small bathroom. BOOM! Out go The Lights! Il take youre IDEA 😁💡😁 Be Safe!
I think I thought of an idea to fix the whole running out of water issue. There's something called an aerovoir that's used for aerogardens. It has a hose with a squeeze bottle attached to a 1 gal jug. Somehow I feel that would work. I'd love to see a video on that.
the more connection joints the greater risk of leaking. A video that made a mess in the bathroom may not be bad though.😀. Thank you for taking the time to chime in.
@@GeniusAsian When I used it for the garden, it didn't leak at points. It only leaked if you have the end lower than the bottle. Either raise it higher or cap it. But you're right, if you mess up - it's a big leak and that'd be super funny flooding the place.
I got a water flosser not long ago which has a Normal, soft and pulse mode and mine came with different heads, so I might try it out as a makeshift electric bidet with one of the other heads I got with it that I haven’t used.
@@GeniusAsian no problem, I did try it out the other day but it was too harsh on my genitals even on the soft setting but it was ok for my arse. So I think I will try something else. It might just be my specific flosser so it could work for other peoooe with different flossers to mine. I have one by Atmoko.
agree 100% never flush nothing but toilet paper! But if you use a waste can, then be very careful because virus found in stool, see CDC URL: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/6/20-0301_article
@@GeniusAsian Like E-Coli. My neighbors have a cracked sewer pipe and the sewage is on the top of the ground near my back yard. I am giving him this year to take care of it or I am calling the health department on him. That could infect the whole town. The smell is so bad. I can't see if you don't have money, then dig yourself. You need a latreen outside and cover your mess. People are stupid. He is going to get kicked out of his house. He doesn't have water either. He gets is from a neighbor and puts it down the toilet just to have the sewage come up in the back yard.
Alternative to toilet paper, get a hand held sponge scrub at the dollar tree, use a spray bottle with soap and water. Its great to see people sharing their ideas in the absence of toilet paper.
If I did that, I'd definitely opt for one with a handle. It seems a little unsanitary. I'd rather just take a shower after going to the bathroom than do that.
@@GeniusAsian good point. I was thinking it would be for travel, but if it's too small, then I wouldn't want to be stuck traveling with something too small to work. Thanks!
the only thing that actually works for me is an ear bulb. The ones you fill with water. I found only one that works - it's a small blue one that doesn't have a cap opening. It's just the perfect size and pressure. However, a larger bulb with an ability to open the back is much better. The issue with them is I run out of water too quickly.
Lie cap on side. Make a 1/16 inch hole with drill bit or hot needle/pin/nail on inside of ridge not on thread side. Make small hole & make bigger as desired. Small hole for small strong stream. Large hole for weak big stream (use more water).
@@FlashToso thanks for your answer, interesting. How do you cut the "1/16 inch hole on inside of ridge" so that the waterjet would point upward (without leaking)?
Sorry no offense to the author of this video but I have experimented with many types of plastic bottles over the years and I can tell you what I saw in this video are not adequate. The best I've come across so far using off-the-shelf components is a soft squeeze condiment bottle I found at BB&B along with a 1/4" 90 degree plastic connector near the quick-connects section at Home Depot. The bottle should be easily squeezable yet regain its shape reasonably quick while supplying a steady strong gush of water.
yeah, if you spend some money a better portable bidet can be made, however this video shows different ways that does not cost you any money. If you spend a few dollars, you can get a portable bidet such as this one: amzn.to/3eYpg4F , if it were not name brand, it could be as cheap as $4. If you are looking for a home use, it is better to install a seat: amzn.to/2Uk2agT ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html

I'm trying to figure out about bidets, because I feel they might be better for composting toilets, but since composting toilets work off evaporation, it's a little confusing.
Dirty Hippie They work and unlike toilet paper that smears feces in and around your bum...a bidet actually cleans you . You can add a little vinegar to the water and get even cleaner. As for drying your self off. I carry small dry rags in my purse in a zip lock bag. I either toss the rag in the trash or put it in seperate zip lock bag, take it home and wash it. The thrift store offers tons of cheap flannel pajamas you can make into rags to dry your bum . It takes 37 gallons of water to make one roll of toilet paper. It takes millions of trees to supply Americans with toilet paper. It takes just a few ounces of water from a well made bidet to clean yourself with after your poo and a woman can clean herself in both places with a good bidet. I like some vinegar in my bidet. I have an actual bidet toilet and also a hand held bidet .
Do you have a video for other issues with bidets outside of if the design sprays well or not? Just general ones like how the water is cold or you can run out of water and how to fix it?
@@GeniusAsian oh - I meant 'other than' or 'beyond' just the ones I wrote. Like lists of issues that you can run into after you switch over to a TP alternative.
If one is traveling, a very large, disposable plastic cup for beverages sold at parks and restaurants can be used simply, while seated, for both male and female. Fill with lukewarm water before using the toilet. Reuse very large cups!
when you say the water pressure is too high on a floss pick - what do you mean? Some have 10 pressures and you're saying that those might not work or that some will be too high?
Brilliant, wonderful! Thank You. Also, please show how to make a "Lady J" out of a plastic bottle, so a woman does not have to sit down for peeing when traveling to places with disgusting public toilets.
Sarah Fern, first of all, that is a brilliant idea. It would surely save me time. I use disposable toilet seats but something that kept me standing would save a lot of time, especially because when I go it is very urgent.
after you finish your shower, how do you dry your body? If you can't overcome the psychological barriers, you could use a very small sections of toilet paper, you still use some tp but not as much as before.
you have to realize, not only is not using TP better for the environment, but healthier in avoiding spreading infections - we can avoid touching contaminated bodily materials to avoid spreading it to others, regardless of hand washing.
I don't understand why people think because you have a bidet of some sort you don't need tissue of some kind to dry your ass off. lol.I have a bidet I love it! it gets the job done, you still need to dry off! Who agrees? think about it, do you want to walk around with soaked behind?
Michelle Foster This is true but I don’t use toilet paper to dry off . I use a small cloth in my purse in zip lock bag . I dry off then take it home and wash it. If I use toilet paper I don’t need much to dry off with. I have a hand held bidet and also a bidet toilet at home that has a built in bum dryer . It’s still cheaper than toilet paper and if the electricity ever goes off my bidet toilet can run with out the blow dryer .
You may find a bigger bottle, some bottles are twice as big. 😁 Note that the variation in size for that dirty area is very small, usually double sized bottle should be sufficient. 😁😁!
@@GeniusAsian in my new house, if I am lucky enough to be let loose from this state to reach it, I am installing the bidit lids on my down stairs and perhaps upstairs toilets. Plenty of wash clothes to dry or the lids have drying capacity.
From what I am seeing, not eating from any and everyone stands even firmer. The recent suggestion from that doctor or virologist or scientist that shaking hands and hugging have to stop, is very much backed up here. And just like hospitals here in the UK have posted at every turn: "It is in your hands" is so even truer here in these responses and suggestions. And the 24 hour command on the television right now, to "Wash your hands"- the proof is right here. Would I want someone who uses a cloth after emptying his or her bowels to package food in a factory, cook in a restaurant, select my food in a takeaway, wash or style my hair, manicure my nails or even touch my clothes?
This doesn't even make full sense as a push for TP over a towel. There has been so much evidence of people passing along parasites and germs to each other due to improper hand washing after using the restroom and those people were most likely using TP. How is a towel different? If you contaminate your hands in the cleaning phase, regardless of what is used, and then don't wash them well afterwards, you have contaminated hands. This is why in all food service/grocery stores here in the US there are signs in the restrooms that all personnel are required to WASH their hands after using the toilet and before returning to work. They already figured out the TP isn't going to stop them from getting "things" on their hands.
Holly XO, am I pushing for tp over a towel? Since you have not understood, I am showing my concern for the hygiene process involved in such a long process of the idea of using water. Let me point out something to you. Many people flush a toilet but they have not used it but don't wash their hands. Do you know why that is? Answer that question and I will get back to your first response.
Genius Asian, the handwashing video is not for me. I am the one showing concern over cross contamination and asking if people are aware of all the bacteria they could be entertaining while focussing on the cost of toilet paper. I just replied to someone and asked him or her to tell me why people flush toilets and do not wash their hands. That is, people who have not used the toilet to take away their body waste.
you are correct some don't have much pressure, but if waterpik can clean the dirty between your teeth, it should be able to clean the dirty ... down there.😄
Diane Ferre', I am glad for your scenario. Peanut butter is a good parallel but its oil content and the smoothness of fruit may support the advice, perfectly. But I know from where you are coming that is my concern when there is talk of using cloths for the drying process and washing them. The very washing machine that washes the kitchen towels that dry the kitchen ware and utensils. Or will it be bare hands that stink of poo? And how about the poo that is stuck under the finger nails, with parasites or their eggs or both? Someone is trying to ask me how could my argument be for toilet paper over the washing (I had to guess the meaning of the letters, tp and some other letters I can't remember) by emphasising businesses already have signs telling their employess to wash their hands. Are the owners standing there till business shuts down? Are there cameras? Besides, the video relates to using the toilet at home. However, I have to consider the reusable cloth situation in light of the fact that people get Hepatitis A on holiday. Holidays are when people who never eat in or from a restaurant do just that. The Hepatitis is in the faeces and how would it get in the kitchen? Is it not from hands? Your hands are looking as bright as the sun but why is there still the smell of poo if you were to put them to your nostrils? That is how poo goes. If it gets on surfaces, the smell is an everlasting one. Why would that be if there is not traces of it embedded where the smell still lingers? Every time I get a request for bowel cancer test, I take forever to send in those samples, even though there are disposable gloves and newspaper and cardboard. I recently got a letter from my general practitioner doctor, telling me I did not deal with my bowel cancer test request which I had since last year. It's not fear of the result. Hopsital is my second home since I was an infant. It is dealing with poo and its my own. The strength of what I am saying is in the world current situation. And the command to wash your hands is there, inescapable. So I am trying to get people to see the whole pucture and if they may have let the control slip out of their hands, where it matters. What could have caused something in one country to reach the whole world and take out 10s of thousands of lives and so easily? Such things do not go unnoticed by me but neither do I take the stance there is nothing I can do about them and carry on. I have to get wise with the dangers that lurk around that make the line between life and death become more and more thin. Because of the caution I take every day, I did not have to bring forth the thought that the current alleged virus could be deposited on a surface or surfaces in here or my clothing at any time. I live each day with prevention dictating my actions.
If you think water jet is not strong enough, then you could use toilet paper either before or after rinsing. Hopefully you will save half of the amount of your regular toilet paper usage. The bidet seat is not that expensive, and if it does not "clean" you, you can rinse as long as you want: ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/JE7FN5H5Thg/v-deo.html
@@corneliavanhuyssteen3103%F0%9F%98%80%F0%9F%98%80%F0%9F%98%80 yes, that is a good idea. I was just thinking to wash my hands, but your plastic glove is psychologically more calming 😊
Water bottle with holes made in the lid. You drink the water first, um a straw? No tape, glue and it’s better to clean your rear with water. Asian dude, made this a long time ago...lol I’m Asian also.
I am not sure I understand what are you sharing, can you give some more details? I know some culture eat with right hands finger food, and the left hands does the washing. Are you referring to that.
@@GeniusAsian I heard of that too (left hand for washing, right hand for eating). Who ever even thought of chopping down trees to wipe their a$$es? Effing stupid. Yesterday I started scripting a video for this thought within the current situation. Planning to film it tomorrow.
There are three groups of people: 1. People in group 1 just use a little bit of toilet paper, maybe 10% of what they would otherwise use. See, this is how: ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html 2. People in group 2 will answer with the question: "After a shower, how do you dry your wet bum afterwards?" The implied answer is that you can do the exactly the same, that is the answer. 3. The third group of people will do something in between group 1 and group 2. They will have a few bum towels, and wash them separately from other clothes, with bleach. The answer to your second question: This is the test=> ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html if not clean, then continue washing. Note that the more times you use toilet paper, the more irritated your skin will bear. But with water washing, the number of times or how long you wash does not irritate you at all.
oliviairving114 Toilet paper smears feces in and around your bum. A bidet cleans it off and is 100 percent more hygienic than toilet paper. You can also put warm water inside the bidet with vinegar and you get even cleaner . The French knew exactly what they were doing when they invented the bidet . As for how do you dry your bum. Carry a small clean rag in your pocket. Throw it in the trash after your finished with it or take it home and wash it . It take 37 gallons of water to make one roll of toilet paper when you can effectively clean your ass 100 times better with a bidet with just a few ounces of water .
toilet paper is a total waste of time and money. you can use a whole roll and all you are doing is smearing poop around...you never get clean no matter how much paper you use. dont believe? clean yourself with paper as best you can, then put your finger in that area and rub it around then smell your finger lol. water on the other hand washes the poop away getting you clean. ..rather than just smearing it around.
@@vaquero3578 pretty good "smell your finger test", there are so many people who commented here denying the advantage of water over TP, I wonder if I should copy your reply as my new answers +:)
Too much work Genius Asian. I'm getting by just fine using a quart yogurt container of hot water and a cheap toothbrush. Dry with hairdryer and store toothbrush in bleach solution. I used to use a hand held sprayer while sitting on the edge of the bathtub and then pouring a bit of bleach on the tub. No need to tell your roommate. lol

If you are visiting or taking care of your family, you may not have a regular bidet.
@@dianeferre1273I was traveling through covid. My parents lived on the other side of the country and needed help. Additionally, I find these solutions helpful because I prefer to use a bidet anyway
a lot of people believe that showers strip their skin and hair of essential oils. Other people are just lazy, you must agree that taking_cloth_off->shower->drying-cloth_on takes more steps, correct? In some countries, you don't have toilet, you just need to go to a pit.
Eventually, you'll run out of baby wipes, too. And- you may already know that, but don't flush them. Not even the ones that are advertised as, "flushable". A friend had an expensive plumber's bill after a babysitter believed the labels...
I think taking a shower after every time you use the restroom (I wash off after peeing, too!) would be far more of an ordeal than just washing off at the toilet. A cup of water works well too, actually. Been using them for years. A sturdy plastic one, like the types found at the dollar store or a plastic cup from a soda at a fast food joint or slurpee from 7 11 work nicely - they are large and hold a lot of water and won't break if dropped accidentally. Takes a LOT less time and water than taking another shower if you don't otherwise need one or already took one for the day.
@@GeniusAsian I agree with your pint - Never mind all the chemicals in them that then soak INTO the skin, on top of stripping oils from it. These impact our livers and organs, likely causing health issues years down the line. I'm sure the production of them still trashes the environment, too, probably worse than making TP. One day we just won't have trees, or air, and the entire planet will look like a giant garbage dump. I hope people realize what is going on and what is going to happen if we all don't stop with they way we've been doing things.

Be sure to snip the Very Narrow Tips and Tighten that Lid! Warm /Hot Water will do the trick! 😉
I think I thought of an idea to fix the whole running out of water issue. There's something called an aerovoir that's used for aerogardens. It has a hose with a squeeze bottle attached to a 1 gal jug. Somehow I feel that would work. I'd love to see a video on that.
the more connection joints the greater risk of leaking. A video that made a mess in the bathroom may not be bad though.😀. Thank you for taking the time to chime in.
@@GeniusAsian When I used it for the garden, it didn't leak at points. It only leaked if you have the end lower than the bottle. Either raise it higher or cap it. But you're right, if you mess up - it's a big leak and that'd be super funny flooding the place.
@@GeniusAsian thanks for replying to my comments. My head is clearer on thoughts :)
It's really very nice to share this with us. Thank you.
It's my pleasure! Please share it with other people to help others and also to slow down the climate change at the same time. Thank you.
I got a water flosser not long ago which has a Normal, soft and pulse mode and mine came with different heads, so I might try it out as a makeshift electric bidet with one of the other heads I got with it that I haven’t used.
Thank you for taking the time to share your result, this will also help other people.
@@GeniusAsian no problem, I did try it out the other day but it was too harsh on my genitals even on the soft setting but it was ok for my arse. So I think I will try something else. It might just be my specific flosser so it could work for other peoooe with different flossers to mine. I have one by Atmoko.
@@triplea5293 mine is waterpik which has a dial 1 thru dial 10 to adjust the speed.
A bidet is a good option I plan to try one of these. If you plan to stick anything besides toilet paper down a toilet forget that. Use a waste can.
agree 100% never flush nothing but toilet paper! But if you use a waste can, then be very careful because virus found in stool, see CDC URL: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/26/6/20-0301_article
@@GeniusAsian Like E-Coli. My neighbors have a cracked sewer pipe and the sewage is on the top of the ground near my back yard. I am giving him this year to take care of it or I am calling the health department on him. That could infect the whole town. The smell is so bad. I can't see if you don't have money, then dig yourself. You need a latreen outside and cover your mess. People are stupid. He is going to get kicked out of his house. He doesn't have water either. He gets is from a neighbor and puts it down the toilet just to have the sewage come up in the back yard.
I use newsprint advertisements no problem.
Alternative to toilet paper, get a hand held sponge scrub at the dollar tree, use a spray bottle with soap and water.
Its great to see people sharing their ideas in the absence of toilet paper.
Thanks for sharing!!
If I did that, I'd definitely opt for one with a handle. It seems a little unsanitary. I'd rather just take a shower after going to the bathroom than do that.
Excellent information
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback.
You can also use a Karcher pressure washer for a better result!
it may not be as safe, LOL
Lol
I always thought about condiment bottles as an idea, because they can be collapsible. Thoughts?
as you said, the small size usually is the problem. You may just tell yourself that even not enough water, still it is cleaner than toilet paper.
@@GeniusAsian good point. I was thinking it would be for travel, but if it's too small, then I wouldn't want to be stuck traveling with something too small to work. Thanks!
the only thing that actually works for me is an ear bulb. The ones you fill with water. I found only one that works - it's a small blue one that doesn't have a cap opening. It's just the perfect size and pressure. However, a larger bulb with an ability to open the back is much better. The issue with them is I run out of water too quickly.
agree, thank you for sharing.
amateurs... I use a fire hydrant instead !!!
when the toilet paper is sold out, what else can you do?
(Wish I had One)!

Is there a video you have where you try out different bidet ideas and see what works and doesn't?
I spent most of my time trying bidet seats:
ua-cam.com/video/JE7FN5H5Thg/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html
Lie cap on side. Make a 1/16 inch hole with drill bit or hot needle/pin/nail on inside of ridge not on thread side. Make small hole & make bigger as desired. Small hole for small strong stream. Large hole for weak big stream (use more water).
yes, this could be an alternative, how do you refill the water without leaking?
@@GeniusAsian Unscrew the cap like regular bottles. Hole is in cap. Only leaks when bottle is upside down.
@@FlashToso thanks for your answer, interesting. How do you cut the "1/16 inch hole on inside of ridge" so that the waterjet would point upward (without leaking)?
@@GeniusAsian With cap on side make hole down so is in wall close to ridge w/o breaking thread side. Water spray is angled!
See...... it works.....
😁
Sorry no offense to the author of this video but I have experimented with many types of plastic bottles over the years and I can tell you what I saw in this video are not adequate. The best I've come across so far using off-the-shelf components is a soft squeeze condiment bottle I found at BB&B along with a 1/4" 90 degree plastic connector near the quick-connects section at Home Depot. The bottle should be easily squeezable yet regain its shape reasonably quick while supplying a steady strong gush of water.
yeah, if you spend some money a better portable bidet can be made, however this video shows different ways that does not cost you any money. If you spend a few dollars, you can get a portable bidet such as this one: amzn.to/3eYpg4F , if it were not name brand, it could be as cheap as $4. If you are looking for a home use, it is better to install a seat: amzn.to/2Uk2agT ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html
good idea but u have to b a contortionist to put the stream in the right place for rear entry
can you lean back, look at the ceiling and try it?
@@GeniusAsian thanks for ur reply. sorry, i cant do that. i am 100% disabled and have very limited range of motion. i have trouble doing the paper work after using the toilet. need a stationary device and then u would have to practice to get in the right position. not saying ur product doesnt work, but its not a perfect fit for everyone. thank u for ur time and attention

I'm trying to figure out about bidets, because I feel they might be better for composting toilets, but since composting toilets work off evaporation, it's a little confusing.

Dirty Hippie They work and unlike toilet paper that smears feces in and around your bum...a bidet actually cleans you . You can add a little vinegar to the water and get even cleaner. As for drying your self off. I carry small dry rags in my purse in a zip lock bag. I either toss the rag in the trash or put it in seperate zip lock bag, take it home and wash it. The thrift store offers tons of cheap flannel pajamas you can make into rags to dry your bum . It takes 37 gallons of water to make one roll of toilet paper. It takes millions of trees to supply Americans with toilet paper. It takes just a few ounces of water from a well made bidet to clean yourself with after your poo and a woman can clean herself in both places with a good bidet. I like some vinegar in my bidet. I have an actual bidet toilet and also a hand held bidet .
Do you have a video for other issues with bidets outside of if the design sprays well or not? Just general ones like how the water is cold or you can run out of water and how to fix it?
what do you mean by "outside of"? I installed a bidet seat: ua-cam.com/video/JE7FN5H5Thg/v-deo.html
@@GeniusAsian oh - I meant 'other than' or 'beyond' just the ones I wrote. Like lists of issues that you can run into after you switch over to a TP alternative.
Just buy a peri bottle from amazon
yes, you could buy a portable bidet, or you could install a bidet seat: ua-cam.com/video/JE7FN5H5Thg/v-deo.html
If one is traveling, a very large, disposable plastic cup for beverages sold at parks and restaurants can be used simply, while seated, for both male and female. Fill with lukewarm water before using the toilet. Reuse very large cups!
Thank you for taking the time to contribute, your tip will help other viewers
when you say the water pressure is too high on a floss pick - what do you mean? Some have 10 pressures and you're saying that those might not work or that some will be too high?
yes, you may adjust the dial. Using the floss may cause psychological problem😂
Brilliant, wonderful! Thank You. Also, please show how to make a "Lady J" out of a plastic bottle, so a woman does not have to sit down for peeing when traveling to places with disgusting public toilets.
yes, thank you for your suggestion, I will look into it.
@@GeniusAsian You are a treasure.
Sarah Fern, first of all, that is a brilliant idea. It would surely save me time. I use disposable toilet seats but something that kept me standing would save a lot of time, especially because when I go it is very urgent.
Always wonder after you use bidet your nether tedious Re all wet. How go you fry without using paper you are trying to save.
after you finish your shower, how do you dry your body? If you can't overcome the psychological barriers, you could use a very small sections of toilet paper, you still use some tp but not as much as before.
you have to realize, not only is not using TP better for the environment, but healthier in avoiding spreading infections - we can avoid touching contaminated bodily materials to avoid spreading it to others, regardless of hand washing.
yes, agreed.
Add some soap to the water maybe 20% soap.
Thank you for your suggestion. So do you also have another bottle for rinsing after the 20% soap?
felicetanka soap would irritate many people. Try vinegar instead .
I don't understand why people think because you have a bidet of some sort you don't need tissue of some kind to dry your ass off. lol.I have a bidet I love it! it gets the job done, you still need to dry off! Who agrees? think about it, do you want to walk around with soaked behind?
Michelle Foster who thinks that? You use wash cloths or some sort of fabric to dry off. Do you dry off after a shower with toilet paper?
Have a basket with clean cloths and a basket to put those in to keep them separate. It’s really not rocket science.
you don't use as much, etc now you may only cut 1/3 of number of trees you cut in the past. watch this: ua-cam.com/video/JE7FN5H5Thg/v-deo.html
@@Tata-iu3fy They probably use news paper.
Michelle Foster This is true but I don’t use toilet paper to dry off . I use a small cloth in my purse in zip lock bag . I dry off then take it home and wash it. If I use toilet paper I don’t need much to dry off with. I have a hand held bidet and also a bidet toilet at home that has a built in bum dryer . It’s still cheaper than toilet paper and if the electricity ever goes off my bidet toilet can run with out the blow dryer .
I don't know guy's, I just feel as if I have to much butt for this😁!
You may find a bigger bottle, some bottles are twice as big. 😁 Note that the variation in size for that dirty area is very small, usually double sized bottle should be sufficient. 😁😁!

From what I am seeing, not eating from any and everyone stands even firmer. The recent suggestion from that doctor or virologist or scientist that shaking hands and hugging have to stop, is very much backed up here. And just like hospitals here in the UK have posted at every turn: "It is in your hands" is so even truer here in these responses and suggestions. And the 24 hour command on the television right now, to "Wash your hands"- the proof is right here. Would I want someone who uses a cloth after emptying his or her bowels to package food in a factory, cook in a restaurant, select my food in a takeaway, wash or style my hair, manicure my nails or even touch my clothes?
Thank you for taking the time to chime in, check out our new 3-step washing hand that you will never forget: ua-cam.com/video/-YrBEj1fSPU/v-deo.html
This doesn't even make full sense as a push for TP over a towel. There has been so much evidence of people passing along parasites and germs to each other due to improper hand washing after using the restroom and those people were most likely using TP. How is a towel different? If you contaminate your hands in the cleaning phase, regardless of what is used, and then don't wash them well afterwards, you have contaminated hands. This is why in all food service/grocery stores here in the US there are signs in the restrooms that all personnel are required to WASH their hands after using the toilet and before returning to work. They already figured out the TP isn't going to stop them from getting "things" on their hands.
Holly XO, am I pushing for tp over a towel? Since you have not understood, I am showing my concern for the hygiene process involved in such a long process of the idea of using water.
Let me point out something to you. Many people flush a toilet but they have not used it but don't wash their hands. Do you know why that is? Answer that question and I will get back to your first response.
Genius Asian, the handwashing video is not for me. I am the one showing concern over cross contamination and asking if people are aware of all the bacteria they could be entertaining while focussing on the cost of toilet paper.
I just replied to someone and asked him or her to tell me why people flush toilets and do not wash their hands. That is, people who have not used the toilet to take away their body waste.
none of these look like they have much pressure at all.
you are correct some don't have much pressure, but if waterpik can clean the dirty between your teeth, it should be able to clean the dirty ... down there.😄
This is highly unnecessary....jus use an applicator bottle.
Id like to see this lady demonstrate her "water bottle" ideas on peanut butter shmeared fruit! Doubtful her "soulutions" would be "Resolutions"!
Diane Ferre', I am glad for your scenario. Peanut butter is a good parallel but its oil content and the smoothness of fruit may support the advice, perfectly. But I know from where you are coming that is my concern when there is talk of using cloths for the drying process and washing them. The very washing machine that washes the kitchen towels that dry the kitchen ware and utensils. Or will it be bare hands that stink of poo? And how about the poo that is stuck under the finger nails, with parasites or their eggs or both?
Someone is trying to ask me how could my argument be for toilet paper over the washing (I had to guess the meaning of the letters, tp and some other letters I can't remember) by emphasising businesses already have signs telling their employess to wash their hands. Are the owners standing there till business shuts down? Are there cameras? Besides, the video relates to using the toilet at home. However, I have to consider the reusable cloth situation in light of the fact that people get Hepatitis A on holiday. Holidays are when people who never eat in or from a restaurant do just that. The Hepatitis is in the faeces and how would it get in the kitchen? Is it not from hands? Your hands are looking as bright as the sun but why is there still the smell of poo if you were to put them to your nostrils? That is how poo goes. If it gets on surfaces, the smell is an everlasting one. Why would that be if there is not traces of it embedded where the smell still lingers?
Every time I get a request for bowel cancer test, I take forever to send in those samples, even though there are disposable gloves and newspaper and cardboard. I recently got a letter from my general practitioner doctor, telling me I did not deal with my bowel cancer test request which I had since last year. It's not fear of the result. Hopsital is my second home since I was an infant. It is dealing with poo and its my own.
The strength of what I am saying is in the world current situation. And the command to wash your hands is there, inescapable. So I am trying to get people to see the whole pucture and if they may have let the control slip out of their hands, where it matters. What could have caused something in one country to reach the whole world and take out 10s of thousands of lives and so easily? Such things do not go unnoticed by me but neither do I take the stance there is nothing I can do about them and carry on. I have to get wise with the dangers that lurk around that make the line between life and death become more and more thin.
Because of the caution I take every day, I did not have to bring forth the thought that the current alleged virus could be deposited on a surface or surfaces in here or my clothing at any time. I live each day with prevention dictating my actions.
If you think water jet is not strong enough, then you could use toilet paper either before or after rinsing. Hopefully you will save half of the amount of your regular toilet paper usage. The bidet seat is not that expensive, and if it does not "clean" you, you can rinse as long as you want: ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html

@@GeniusAsian you could also use a reusable plastic glove as toilet paper, wiping as spraying the water. Then pat dry with a towel after.
@@corneliavanhuyssteen3103%F0%9F%98%80%F0%9F%98%80%F0%9F%98%80 yes, that is a good idea. I was just thinking to wash my hands, but your plastic glove is psychologically more calming 😊

Thank you for taking the time to leave comments.
The question I have is, with what do you dry your wet bum, afterwards? Secondly, how effective are such devices in doing what toilet paper does?
There are three groups of people:
1. People in group 1 just use a little bit of toilet paper, maybe 10% of what they would otherwise use. See, this is how: ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html
2. People in group 2 will answer with the question: "After a shower, how do you dry your wet bum afterwards?" The implied answer is that you can do the exactly the same, that is the answer.
3. The third group of people will do something in between group 1 and group 2. They will have a few bum towels, and wash them separately from other clothes, with bleach.
The answer to your second question: This is the test=> ua-cam.com/video/silYA2vWgRM/v-deo.html if not clean, then continue washing. Note that the more times you use toilet paper, the more irritated your skin will bear. But with water washing, the number of times or how long you wash does not irritate you at all.
oliviairving114 Toilet paper smears feces in and around your bum. A bidet cleans it off and is 100 percent more hygienic than toilet paper. You can also put warm water inside the bidet with vinegar and you get even cleaner . The French knew exactly what they were doing when they invented the bidet . As for how do you dry your bum. Carry a small clean rag in your pocket. Throw it in the trash after your finished with it or take it home and wash it . It take 37 gallons of water to make one roll of toilet paper when you can effectively clean your ass 100 times better with a bidet with just a few ounces of water .
OK Janice. Many thanks.
toilet paper is a total waste of time and money. you can use a whole roll and all you are doing is smearing poop around...you never get clean no matter how much paper you use. dont believe? clean yourself with paper as best you can, then put your finger in that area and rub it around then smell your finger lol. water on the other hand washes the poop away getting you clean. ..rather than just smearing it around.
@@vaquero3578 pretty good "smell your finger test", there are so many people who commented here denying the advantage of water over TP, I wonder if I should copy your reply as my new answers +:)

Too much work Genius Asian. I'm getting by just fine using a quart yogurt container of hot water and a cheap toothbrush. Dry with hairdryer and store toothbrush in bleach solution. I used to use a hand held sprayer while sitting on the edge of the bathtub and then pouring a bit of bleach on the tub. No need to tell your roommate. lol

Just take a body shower!! Why to go through so many inconvenience. Also baby wipes can do the job.
a lot of people believe that showers strip their skin and hair of essential oils. Other people are just lazy, you must agree that taking_cloth_off->shower->drying-cloth_on takes more steps, correct? In some countries, you don't have toilet, you just need to go to a pit.
Eventually, you'll run out of baby wipes, too.
And- you may already know that, but don't flush them. Not even the ones that are advertised as, "flushable". A friend had an expensive plumber's bill after a babysitter believed the labels...
I think taking a shower after every time you use the restroom (I wash off after peeing, too!) would be far more of an ordeal than just washing off at the toilet. A cup of water works well too, actually. Been using them for years. A sturdy plastic one, like the types found at the dollar store or a plastic cup from a soda at a fast food joint or slurpee from 7 11 work nicely - they are large and hold a lot of water and won't break if dropped accidentally. Takes a LOT less time and water than taking another shower if you don't otherwise need one or already took one for the day.
@@GeniusAsian I agree with your pint - Never mind all the chemicals in them that then soak INTO the skin, on top of stripping oils from it. These impact our livers and organs, likely causing health issues years down the line. I'm sure the production of them still trashes the environment, too, probably worse than making TP. One day we just won't have trees, or air, and the entire planet will look like a giant garbage dump. I hope people realize what is going on and what is going to happen if we all don't stop with they way we've been doing things.
