    How is that insane? I keep a tiny trash can with a step open lid next to the toilet specifically for that. The lid and frequently changing the bags prevent it from stinking, plus it uses way less water.

    Personally I feel like they have all the benefits of bidets and TP, with none of the drawbacks.

      They have their own singular drawback with being a stain on the environment.

      Seriously, just get a bidet

        I live in an RV, which has a special toilet designed to use very little water.

        I don’t think it would work even if I could afford to retrofit my bathroom, as water pressure is often an issue when traveling.

      the drawbacks are that they’re made from cotton and plastics, which are all absolutely horrendous for the environment… cotton is among the worst offenders for water use, and polyester etc is bad in clothes let alone chucking an entire wet wipe multiple times per day
