The average American household uses over 400 rolls of toilet paper each year. Not only does this create a lot of paper waste, but producing it requires a hefty amount of water as well. That’s where bidets come in.

After being a staple in European bathrooms for hundreds of years, bidets are finally growing in popularity in the United States. And that’s great news for the planet. Aside from making your bathroom feel a little fancier, switching to a bidet can save the 384 trees that are required for one person’s (yes, just one!) lifetime toilet paper supply. Plus, while a single roll of toilet paper requires 37 gallons of water, a bidet uses just one-eighth of a gallon.

Aside from having some impressive benefits for the planet, bidets are great for your bottom, too. They can be better at cleaning your backside than regular toilet paper, as well as help reduce skin irritation thanks to their gentle nature.

“Overall, a bidet can sometimes provide a superior cleaning experience compared to toilet paper. It starts with the basic fact that water can top a few squares of dry toilet paper in removing trace amounts of fecal matter after you poop,” Christine Lee, MD, an Ohio-based gastroenterologist, told the Cleveland Clinic. “Other advantages of a bidet include being gentler on your skin. Wiping can cause chafing and tiny cuts. Bidets can also be more comfortable to use if you have hemorrhoids and fissures.”

So, what are you waiting for? Bidets are better for the planet and—according to the pros—us, too. Here are some popular options to try.
