Buy toilet paper.
"You mean toilet paper stocks right?"
Did I stutter?

I also got a bidet, but then I went one further and got small towels to wipe up the water.

Pack of 50 cheap washcloths isn’t that much more than a pack of nice toilet paper, but they can go through the wash in a sanitary cycle with bleach and I can reuse them until they fall apart. Then I just need toilet paper for visitors.

It sounds kinda ick, I know, but consider that we wash underpants, and what’s the difference?

Valid. I still use TP, but far, far less. I'll bet I can make a 6 pack last a whole year.

I definitely can’t.

I substantially reduced tp use, but female anatomy makes that level of frugality nearly impossible, at least without uncomfortably damp undies, in my experience. 😅

Best I managed before the swap was one 24 pack for a year. Still very good, but room for improvement :)

Yeah, that's an advantage for men, for sure.
