My main priority on this blog is to help my readers. I’m a professional tile installer, but before that, I am a person, with regular human functions. Today we’re going to elaborate on those fundamental human functions, so if you have a more refined disposition, if you don’t want to read about using the restroom, this isn’t the post for you. This is a bathroom web page, and what happens in the bathroom? What do I have to lose!?
Now that we’re on the same page, today I am here to tell you about two low cost bathroom improvements that I’m sure, when you adopt, they will change your daily duties. The first is an ingenious invention called the Hello Tushy.
I’ve been using the Tushy for about two years now, so I’m not a band wagon jumper or recent adopter…this thing is a main stay in my daily routine. The Tushy is an aftermarket bidet, that attaches to your existing toilet with just a couple tools. The installation is simple and more importantly it washes your bum with water.
I’m not sure why bidets never caught on in the United States, but I assume it’s because they went against societal norms, A tradition of using paper and smearing the stuff everywhere back there, I don’t really understand it. The best option for me has always been to go to the toilet and then take a shower directly after, now that I have a Tushy, I cut out the middle man, I don’t have to take off my clothes or waste all that water to get completely clean.
The sales pitch that really sells it is this, When you get chocolate on yourself, what do you wipe it off with? Do you wipe it off with a dry paper towel? Or do you get a wet wipe or a wet paper towel and wipe it off?
Tushy comes in at around $70. $70 to walk around clean like a king(or queen). Sitting here now I’m starting to think about all the dirty bums out there, that just smeared the stuff with toilet paper. What a beautiful feeling of luxury, after your daily visit. Additionally, you’ll save money on toilet paper, a great thing for environmentally conscious people.
So, let’s think outside the box (or cave) and give Hellotushy.com a try! You won’t be disappointed.
Okay, back to the cave…
The next low cost bathroom improvement is one you’ve probably seen. If you’re a television watcher you’ve seen their unicorn ad. The Squatty Potty has improved my movements by optimizing my posture for the job at hand.
I’m an outdoorsmen as well as a lifter, so that low squat position is a thing of beauty. Whenever I’m doing heavy squats I have an urge to let a stinky one fly…I’m always in public, so I hold it back, but it proves my point. That low squat is best for the release!
What the squatty potty does is, it sets you up in the position to have the best flow. Our bodies are simply not designed to go in the seated position. We may think of ourselves as modern, hip beings…but our biology is still set in the cave. This company has devised a way to honor both sides of humanity, modern with a nod to our stone age make up.
This simple, plastic stool sets up around your toilet ( you can easily move it) and as your setting up, you lift your feet six inches and rest them on raised platform. It’s that easy. It’s comfortable and cost effective at $25.
These two aftermarket pieces have my toilet looking like upgraded Honda Civic, but they have proven to make my life much better. I also love the questions I get from guests when they go to use my bathroom. I never skip the opportunity to modestly demonstrate how they work. “Yeah, just stand right here and turn that nob!”
We haven’t made it to Mars, but we have figured out how to maximize comfort at bathroom time…This is a big win for humanity, always striving for comfort!
