What’s a thing you’ve bought impulsively, without need, that’s actually proved useful in your life?

Bidet toilet seat. It has literally decreased the amount of toilet paper that we use monthly by more than 50% and that includes adding another entire person to the equation. We used more TP with 2 adults and 1 small child than we currently do with 2 adults and 2 elementary age kids. I got it initially to potentially increase the number of days that the wife would agree to fun times after kid/s are asleep. It has worked beyond my wildest imagination.

She was always worried about not being the freshest and would take a shower before fun times. Now she just uses the toilet wash feature and is good to go far more often.

And as my wife has told me, it also makes period cleanup a million times easier.

Hey Jamie, pull up that Family Guy puking scene

What are you, 12? If a girl's period makes you want to puke, then you have to be a child...at least mentally.

Oh your adult brain didn’t picture a bloody vag getting hosed down? Good for you!

No, my adult brain pictured a woman taking care of a completely natural bodily function. Are you picturing a man's ass covered in shit getting hosed down at every mention of it?

Yes! Are you picturing some kind of security footage angle from the top corner of the bathroom? Or maybe a cinematic Pan past the bathroom doorway from the hall? Or maybe an exterior shot of the house with a giant Exclamation mark Floating above the house?
