Why a Bidet is Right For You.
Besides being more sanitary than toilet tissue, bidets -- those
squirty accessories so popular in Europe, Japan and elsewhere that clean
your underside using a jet of water -- are also much less stressful on

Justin Thomas, editor of the website metaefficient.com, considers bidets to be "a key
green technology" because they eliminate (or reduce) the use of toilet paper.
According to his analysis, Americans use 36.5 billion rolls of toilet
paper every year, representing the pulping of some 15 million trees.
