Once I read about microplastics in my bidet I moved on to 3 sea shells.

How do you use the shells?

Haha, he doesn't know how to use the 3 seashells. Hahahhaha.. I can see how that would be confusing

So do they like reuse the seashells or what, it's been like twenty years since I've seen it

If you drink bottled water you are ingesting microplastics.

Microplastics exist, but they're nowhere near as bad as the initial articles said they were. Here's a quick 4-minute video on it.

Well, that toilet paper is gonna be even more toxic when I'm done with it.

I know my farts are bad but calling my poop “toxic forever chemicals” seems a little harsh.

If its in toilet paper then its probably in paper towels, napkins, facial tissues. Receipt paper is already covered in horribly toxic thermal powder. We're pretty fucked no matter what.

You can shit, you just can't wipe.

There are cancer-giving chemicals in the water too

Watch out for the Toilet Paper Industrial Complex. Get a Japanese toilet.

Yeah, and what aren't they found in again? Toilet paper is the least of my worries.

Only for the toilet paper companies.

Or the 3 sea shells
Rich_xnda t1_jc4wn7v wrote
The study examined 21 popular toilet paper brands from North America, western Europe, Africa, Central America, and South America; however, the brands were not identified.
It seems pointless to name the brands since they are all involved.

Well, that's just 'natural' these days, right?

Toxic chemicals are found in nature, yes.

Not shocking. Do you know how a tree gets turned into toilet paper? Using an absurd amount of chemical processing.

Guess we will have to figure out the 3 seashells
soda-jerk t1_jc6btlh wrote
PFAs are in the water -> The toilet paper manufacture process uses a shitload of water -> PFAs in your toilet paper.
To me, that explains why recycled toilet paper had just as many PFAs as regular.
Kamnera t1_jc51v7x wrote
I'm not sure why they didn't consider sharing the brands and test results to be crucial.

Microplastics in the paper and squirty water, so now we gotta use three shells and the poop knife

I'd say my bidet is cleaner, but I'm sure there's a study that shows I'm blowing microplastics from the water up my ass so...
