Paper Doesn’t Work — Convert Any Toilet Into a Bidet with Tushy

Let’s face it. Cleaning up after you need to do your bathroom business is definitely not something that any of us like to discuss or even think about. However, it’s something we need to get involved with pretty much every day and sometimes multiple times a day. Do you really want to keep using paper to wipe that sensitive area? Of course not. That’s why Tushy has come up with a method that means you can convert any toilet into a bidet with a minimum of hassle. It’s a far better solution than anything paper-related.

You might be thinking “Hey, I’ve always used paper. What’s wrong with it?” Well, actually, a lot. You see using so much paper is pretty terrible for the environment. It’s waste, pure and simple. It also rarely feels particularly nice on your skin, especially if you ever have a bad day and need to use a lot of it. There’s also the matter of hygiene. You know how if you wipe your hands with paper towels, it never feels as good as washing them with water? That’s how your butt feels every time you use paper.

Bidets are far, far cleaner and more hygienic than any paper solution. Your rear will get cleaner and you’ll feel more comfortable afterward too. It even helps fend off the risk of hemorrhoids! That’s why Tushy is such a great thing to buy for your home.

Even though it might seem like using water to wash so much would be bad for the environment, it’s actually not. It takes just one pint of water to properly wash with Tushy compared to 15 million trees to make toilet paper each year. Plus, you’ll save thousands of dollars over time on toilet paper consumption.

The Tushy Classic 3.0 is very simple to install. It requires no electricity or plumbing so it only takes just under eight and a half minutes to get all set up. It comes with an automatic self-cleaning nozzle and an optimized pressure and angle control so you can target the spray to exactly where you need to feel cleanest. All you need to do to install it is unscrew your toilet seat, pop the Tushy on, and connect the water. That’s it!

Available with two choices of colors for the knob — bamboo or platinum — the Tushy Classic 3.0 is priced at just $99. That’s a pretty small price to pay for ultimate comfort and cleanliness, right? You’ll wonder how you managed with just plain old paper before, and you definitely won’t go back.

Nobody is more synonymous with winter sports than Shaun White. The three-time Olympic gold medalist set the bar for extreme snowboarding and continues to break his own records each year. What many may not realize, though, is that White isn’t snowbound year-round. When not hitting the slopes, he unwinds at a beach-side retreat in beautiful Malibu, California. But it seems White is looking for a change and has now listed his second Malibu home for sale. Take a look at Point Dume, a cool coastal house fit for an Olympian.

Sitting atop a bluff overlooking the Pacific, Point Dume is a cozy 2,164-square-foot home sitting on one acre of beautifully manicured land. Built in 1948, the residence boasts many original classic California coastal elements that were popular at the time. From gorgeous hardwood flooring to mullioned clerestory windows to the tongue-and-groove white painted wood ceilings, everything about Point Dume speaks to the original design of this historic home.

Do Your Ass a Favor and Get a Tushy Bidet Attachment. Seriously.
tushy bidet attachment review man on

I'll be the first to admit that I was more than a tad fearful and skeptical of the Tushy bidet attachment when the sample arrived at my apartment. My previous experiences with bidets and bidet attachments have all involved either European hotel rooms or Japanese bathrooms, which are both so far out of the sphere of standard American bathroom-ness that I chalked those mildly bad experiences to my lack of traditional bidet knowledge. After using my Tushy Classic for the past several months, however, I can say without hesitation that yes, my initial trepidation about using a bidet only existed because 1) I wasn't used to the idea of water shooting at my asshole and 2) I wasn't entirely sure how to use them properly.

With Tushy, all of that is explained.

Shipping Containers Become Stunning Suites at Copia Eco Cabins
copia eco cabins cape town south africa shipping container hotel ecopia 2

We love a good shipping container-turned-home. The simple structures make for masculine, gritty spaces that offer an urban industrial look that can literally be placed anywhere you like from city to countryside. What started as a seemingly strange choice for a house has caught on and become more and more popular. But a hotel made from shipping containers? That’s something we rarely see. While others have made the concept of a shipping container hotel work, few have been able to add that luxury touch the way Copia Eco Cabins has.

Just 90 minutes outside of Cape Town, South Africa, in the town of Botrivier, Copia Luxury Eco Cabins are high-end vacation rentals made from shipping containers. Located on a private farm, Copia is eco-friendly and completely off-grid. But off-grid doesn’t mean you’ll be roughing it. There are three cabins to choose from, and each features spacious kitchens (complete with full-sized refrigerator and electric cooktops), cozy living areas with wood-burning fireplaces, full bathrooms with spa-like finishes (including large soaking tubs), a braai (a South African barbeque), and the star of the show: outdoor, wood-fired hot tubs. The remote location of Copia means there's no Wi-Fi allowing you to fully unwind and disconnect during your stay.
