Toilet paper is about to disappear: find out what will replace it
We use it every day, without really thinking about it. However, toilet paper is far from ideal: unhygienic, polluting and expensive. As mentalities evolve, other more modern and environmentally friendly solutions are emerging. Between wipes, water jets and other innovations, a big change seems to be looming.
Toilet paper: a fake essential?
For decades, toilet paper has reigned supreme in our bathrooms. However, this apparent comfort hides many drawbacks.
- Lack of hygiene : Contrary to what one might think, wiping oneself with dry paper is not always enough to guarantee optimal cleanliness . It can even promote irritation and infections, especially for sensitive skin.
- A worrying ecological impact : Every year, millions of trees are cut down to produce toilet paper, not to mention the liters of water needed to manufacture it. On average, the production of a single roll consumes around 140 liters of water!
- A significant budget : High-end papers are expensive, while economy versions often lack comfort . A recurring expense that, accumulated over a year, can represent a certain cost .
So what alternatives are available to us for more effective and more ecological cleaning?
