Amid the coronavirus-triggered toilet paper panic that has gripped the nation, some Americans feel they have only one recourse: the bidet
Photo-Illustration: The Cut; source image: Amazon Toilet paper rolls are disappearing from rest stops along I-80. Restaurants in Illinois are offering a free roll with a $20 takeout order. A couple in Corpus Christi stole stock from a diner bathroom by smuggling rolls out under their shirts.
Luckily, apostles of the bidet were ready for the crisis, especially those who have been attempting to democratize its porcelain reputation. In the last two weeks, sales are up tenfold for affordable bidet start-up Tushy, founded by Miki Agarwal, the controversial former CEO of period underwear brand Thinx.
Genevieve Koski, a writer in Michigan, ordered one the same day. She also says she has been considering a bidet for eco-conscious reasons but was induced by the toilet paper panic. She chose a $39.98 attachment from Brondell, a San Francisco based company that also reports an increase in sales ten times over across the board. Koski got some bad news about her purchase, however, on Tuesday: The attachment is out of stock indefinitely.
