5 Reasons Using A Zigu Is Better Than Using Toilet Paper
In many parts of the world, bidets have been a bathroom staple for decades, while in places like the UK and USA, toilet paper remains the go-to option. However, as people become more conscious of hygiene, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness, bidets are gaining popularity.
Zigu bum-guns are the eco-friendly and portable solution - saving your booty, the planet and your hard-earned cash. If you're still on the fence about switching, here are five compelling reasons why switching to Zigu is a superior choice to using toilet paper.
1. Better Hygiene and Cleanliness 🚿🦠
Toilet paper may remove some residue, but it doesn’t provide a thorough clean. Zigu uses a gentle stream of water to wash away bacteria and waste, leaving you feeling fresher and cleaner. Just because we’ve always done something, doesn’t make it right - afterall, we’re just shmearing poop around our buttholes with TP. Unsurprisingly, it’s much more hygienic in general to use bidets - In a 2022 study, participants who used toilet paper had between 39,000 and 77,000 types of bacteria on their hands, while those who used a bidet had only 4,000 to 11,000—a tenfold reduction!
2. Environmentally Friendly 🌍💫
The production of toilet paper contributes to deforestation, excessive water use, and pollution. 22 billion kilometres of toilet paper is used globally per year, that’s nearly 50,000 times the distance around planet earth! Also, a whopping 712,000,000 trees are cut down every year to produce toilet paper globally, requiring 1,165 millions tons of water and 78 million tons of oil. In contrast, using a Zigu bumgun consumes only a small amount of water and requires only a couple of pieces of TP (or none!) per use - making it a more sustainable and eco-friendly option.
3. Cost-Effective in the Long Run 💸🫰
While a Zigu may require a small initial investment, it quickly pays for itself by reducing or eliminating the need for toilet paper. In the UK, people spend an average of £1 per week on toilet paper, totaling £52 annually. For a family of four, this amounts to £208 per year! That’s a lot of moolah spent in exchange for a dirty and sore butthole!
Using a Zigu can significantly reduce this recurring expense, allowing you to save money for things you love instead - like bungee jumping or a giant inflatable unicorn for your living room!
4. Gentler on the Skin 💦🍑
Toilet paper can be rough and abrasive, especially for those with sensitive skin or conditions like hemorrhoids. Frequent wiping can cause irritation, chafing, and even minor cuts. Zigu provides a gentle, soothing cleanse that is much kinder to the skin, reducing discomfort and promoting better personal care. Say goodbye to your ring of fire!
5. Portable and Travel-Friendly 🎒⛰️
Zigu is designed with portability in mind - Our collapsible, silicon design makes it easy to take literally anywhere. Whether you're traveling, camping, or simply on the go, our bumgun fits effortlessly into pockets, bags, or luggage. No matter where you are, you can enjoy the hygiene and comfort of a bidet without the burden of it being attached to only one toilet in your home.
Final Thoughts 🤔💭
While toilet paper has been the standard for generations, Zigu is the future. It offers a superior alternative in terms of hygiene, environmental impact, cost savings, and comfort. As more people make the switch, it's clear that bidets and bumguns are not just a passing trend but a smart and sustainable choice for modern lifestyles.
That’s why we’re starting a SMEAR campaign against toilet paper (you see what I did there?!).
