6. Ecofriendly Biffy Bidet Bathroom Accessory

With an estimated 20,000 sheets of toilet paper consumed per person per year in the United States, many environmental advocates are pushing for alternatives such as recycled paper and bidets to help curb toilet paper use. One such solution includes a unique personal rinse product that is designed to clean more efficiently than stand-alone bidets. Combining the power of water with a one-touch system, the Biffy is optimally positioned within arm's reach of a user. A push on the handle turns on and positions a fresh water spray to suit a user's preference. Unlike most traditional bidets, there is no need to shift around on the toilet seat to get clean. It also has an adjustable water pressure dial and is compatible with just about any toilet model. And when you understand that the water needed to operate a Biffy is nominal compared to the amount of toilet paper that is saved you may find it could be a great option for the environment.
