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

Image used with permission by copyright holder

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.

The 2025 Oscar season is starting to take shape, filled with movies that are all hoping to become awards season favorites. The Brutalist, Brady Corbett's historical epic, just got a big boost in that regard when it was awarded best film at the New York Film Critics' Circle Awards.

The movie also won for best actor for Adrien Brody's lead performance, suggesting that it was one of the strongest movies of the year with the critics group. The NYFCC is the oldest critics group in America, and while their tastes can sometimes be more high-brow than the Academy, the group has been a reliable bellwether for the Oscars for years. Since the Academy expanded its list of Best Picture nominees, there have only been two instances where the NYFCC winner didn't secure a nomination (Carol in 2015 and First Cow in 2020).

Bel-Air, the more dramatic retelling of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air hasn't lasted quite as long as the original series, but after its third season it's getting closer. Now, Variety is reporting that Peacock's Bel-Air has been renewed for a fourth and final season at Peacock. The news comes about three months after the show's season 3 finale aired.

Like the original sitcom, this show follows a teenager named Will who moves from an impoverished neighborhood in West Philadelphia to live with his aunt and uncle in the posh Los Angeles neighborhood of Bel-Air. The show was originally inspired by a viral video that imagined what the series might look like as a more straightforward drama. The series stars Jabari Banks, Adrian Holmes, Cassandra Freeman, Olly Sholotan, Akira Akbar, Coco Jones, Jimmy Akingbola, Jordan L. Jones, and Simone Joy Jones.

Spotify's Wrapped feature brings joy and horror to users every year as they realize exactly what they spent the year listening to. In addition to that individual data, though, the music streaming service also provides a more global picture of how its users behave every year, and this year, Taylor Swift once again reined supreme.

Variety is reporting that Swift was the service's most streamed artist for the second year in a row, thanks largely to her album "The Tortured Poets Department," which was the year's most streamed album. Swift's music generated 26.6 billion streams on the platform this year. Just behind Swift were the Weeknd, Bad Bunny, Drake and Billie Eilish.
