How much toilet paper do you use in 10 years per bathroom? I'm trying to convince my wife that it's cheaper to buy a bidet and have it installed in the master bath, than to buy toilet paper for that master bathroom. I figure a 10-year payback period should be reasonable. I ran the calculations of 1 roll of toilet paper a week, but, she doesn't believe my calculations. How much do you use in a 10 year period? Do you think TP outweighs the cost of a bidet?

Here, toilet paper usage is typically "per person"! Our bathrooms are very frugal and don't USE any! Do you folks plan on walking around with WET butts? Or, are you investing in an air dryer, as well? TP is cheap. TP doesn't require any demo/construction labor. TP doesn't need maintenance. Payments for TP can be spread out over the time you use it (instead of a lump sum up front). I think bidet is a cultural/personal preference issue. What do you do if she later decides she doesn't like the sensation? Plumb a toilet immediately adjacent to the bidet (and pay to modify the soil stack??)
