How much you save with a bidet – toilet paper, money & environment
Most people who get a bidet shower are surprised by how quickly it pays for itself. Not only does hygiene improve – you also save a lot of money and contribute to a cleaner environment.
In this article, we'll go through exactly how much you can save with a bidet.
How much toilet paper do we actually use?
An average Swede uses about 88 rolls of toilet paper per year. In a household of 4 people, this easily becomes 200–300 rolls per year.
That amounts to tens of thousands of kronor over a lifetime – and an enormous environmental impact.
How much you save with a bidet
Most people who use a bidet reduce their toilet paper consumption by 70–100%. Many only use a couple of sheets to dry themselves after washing.
Example of monthly savings (average family):
- Toilet paper: 8–20 fewer rolls per month
- Money: 50–150 SEK per month (depending on the paper you buy)
- Water: The bidet uses only about 0.3–0.5 liters per use, while the production of a single roll of toilet paper requires up to 70–140 liters of water
In one year, a family can save:
- 100–250 rolls of toilet paper
- 600–1800 SEK
- Thousands of liters of water
- Quantities of trees, energy, and emissions

Environmental benefits of a bidet
Switching to a bidet is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce your environmental impact in everyday life:
- Trees: Toilet paper production requires lots of trees and pulp. A bidet dramatically reduces this need.
- Water: Even though a bidet uses water, you save significantly more overall than what is used in paper production.
- Carbon dioxide: Less production, transport, and packaging of toilet paper = lower climate impact.
- Waste: Fewer plastic packages and less trash from toilet rolls.
According to various studies, a bidet is one of the most climate-friendly changes you can make in the bathroom.
