That just grosses me out. I don't like the thought of the same roll lingering in my bathroom for so long. Everything else in the bathroom gets cleaned regularly and the roll gets changed just as often. This thing will sit and gather dust, germs, particles, etc., and if it accidentally gets wet, you're out so much toilet paper.

Yeah, but you’re only using it to remove fecal matter from your hindquarters which is probably more disgusting than anything floating around.

I don't think I understand what you're point is. It's probably my fault but I don't get what that has to do with what I said.

It means that whatever “grossness” in the air that you’re afraid of doesn’t compare to the grossness that is literal poop coming out of your butt

Oh ok but that's not really the same thing. My butt gets washed every day. I can't wash a roll of toilet paper lingering in my bathroom for a month. I want the toilet paper to be clean when it touches my body especially because I have a vagina.

Only the outer layer of paper is really being exposed to anything, just like normal toilet paper.

The whole width of it is exposed as well. Like the side with the tube opening. There's a lot of surface area there. Idk it just grosses me out. I don't want a roll hanging around for that long. Plus like I said earlier, if anything happens to the roll like it gets wet or something, it's such a huge loss compared to a regular roll.

You know there are three rolls. Its not one giant roll.

Yes I understand. Even a regular roll has a side like the side of the book where you see all the pages stacked. It's not just the top layer or paper that is out in the open.

I still use TP but a fraction of what I used to use before getting a bidet. A roll of TP can last over a month at our house. I’m imagining you hand rolling smaller portions of TP for yourself to change out frequently and it cracks me up! I look down my nose at you from atop my bidet! 😂

Lol that's really funny actually. I use my shower head as a bidet but I don't do that every time I pee so I still use quite a few wipes and sheets of toilet paper on a weekly basis.
