The article examines the use of toilet paper in the U.S.. The author attests that toilet paper is an inefficient method of removing feces, and bidets are far more effective. It is also urged that bidets are more environmentally friendly, and if Americans discontinued the use of toilet paper, the U.S. would save millions of trees, terawatts of electricity, and billions of gallons of water.
The article discusses the introduction of the bidet to U.S. by an Indian American Miki Agrawal named as Tushy, which can be easily connected to the existing toilet through its attachable appliance. It states it reduces toilet-paper use and fifteen million trees a year is saved and also prevents urinary infection, and its demand is increasing from the public. It also notes she sold menstrual underwear, Thinx, in 2011.
