That is its own rabbit hole as some don't mind cold wet water splashed up their privates but many would prefer it to be at least "cool"/"warmed"...so now you're paying a bit more for such. OK, to do that you need an outlet nearby as running a cable is stupid. WELL, everyone isn't a handy-person, so now....

....Easily hundreds spent just to take a short cut of cleaning your areas and you STILL will need a square or two of toilet paper as again, few want that feeling of wet water near their privates. That still leads back to what TP you want touching yourself.

OH, are you like me and have multiple toilets? Congrats - you now have multiple increased costs. Got children? Easy to explain how a bidet works but hard in practice to ensure they're sitting in the right position make it work, and for how long it should run, etc. Be ready for wet shirts and backs and many sit closer on the toilet than back like an adult....unless you got one of those that also programs itself to adjust to the child's sitting position (which costs hundreds itself)

All of this to type that short hand comment of "get a bidet!" can look silly and short-sighted

NOW, if you're the type of person who bought those $20 attachments and you just spray and stand up....that's cool. That's not going to work for most of us though, chief.

Don't know if you guys go to dollar tree much, but this kind cost $1.25 240 sheets/4 rolls 101.3 sq ft which is $.01234 per sq ft. It is kind of soft and fluffy too and my family likes it.

FYI, the first 8 brands on that list are likely made by one company. Depends on the region you're in.

I don't think this is a great deal.

Even Walmart TP is expensive.

Have anyone ever tried Dollar tree toilet paper?

Those are the best quality, 4 rolls. 240 sheets per roll. 101.3 sqft total. For everyday low price $1.25 (nearly twice then what Walmart is offering at the lowest price)

I'm not promoting dollar tree, not looking for more reps, otherwise I would've created a new post.
I'm just trying to give back to our slickdeals community who also have been great help always.


Link for reference. Shipping kills the deal, you can order bulk and pickup in store. Or go to store and get as much as needed.

"Just get a bidet" isn't helpful advice, but the idea that "cold wet water splashed on privates" is uniformly undesirable is kind of silly, too. First: water is wet, that's kind of the point. Second, cold very much varies from location to location, and in my experience even in winter it's barely noticeable. Maybe my privates are just very cold-insensitive, but I was surprised how little it mattered. You may be the same, or not, but you won't know unless you give it a shot (heh).

There are additional considerations.
Walmart 3.8" x 4"
Costco 4.5" x 4"

We prefer the width of the Costco
