there are some things in life you don't skimp on, it's either all or nothing.

your toilet paper, your mattress, the power supply for your computer, and any medical device you require to live on a daily basis, for instance.

i will go into debt for my glasses if i have to, because if i'm stuck with them every moment i'm awake, i cannot survive if it's a miserable experience the whole time.

I agree. It just sucks that something so necessary for so many people is outrageously expensive, it just shouldn't be like that.

I must say, a bidet/handheld shower head thingy instead of toilet paper is the way to go. Cheaper and more sustainable

Still need some toilet paper with bidet tho but much much less

Damn, US/Canada only, but they do seem relatively cheap
