Why Australians Are Finally Switching to Bidets

Old Habits, Die Hard

For generations, we’ve wiped without questioning it. Toilet paper has been part of daily life in Australia for so long, most people have never considered another way. But as conversations shift around hygiene, health, cost of living, and environmental impact, one question is becoming harder to ignore:

Is wiping really working for us?

From quiet curiosity to bold upgrades, more Australians are finally switching to bidets. And once they do, there’s no going back.

Why Bidets Weren’t Popular in Australia, Until Now

Let’s be honest, bidets have always felt a bit foreign here. Associated with Europe or luxury hotels, they were never seen as something for the average Aussie household.

Some people thought they weren’t legal here (they are). Others assumed they required complex plumbing or electrical work (they don’t). And many simply never asked the question:

“Is toilet paper enough?”

What’s Changed in 2024–2025

It’s not just a trend, it’s a turning point. Here’s why:

1. The Environmental Wake-Up Call

It takes a forest the size of Sydney Airport just to produce Australia’s yearly supply of toilet paper.

• 2.24 billion rolls are used here every year
• That’s 88 rolls per person, stretching 127.5 million miles, halfway to Mars
• And it costs us 1.5 million trees annually

That’s a lot of planet… flushed away.

2. The Cost of Living Crisis

The average Aussie household now spends around $220 each year on toilet paper. That’s money literally down the drain for something that doesn’t even fully clean you.

With a one-time upgrade like a marKey bidet attachment, you’ll start saving money in just months.

3. Social Media Made It Normal

TikTok and Instagram helped normalize bidets in a way nothing else did. Clean, smart, and renter-friendly they’ve gone from taboo to trending.

4. No Plumber, No Worries

Modern bidet attachments like marKey install in under 10 minutes. No electricity. No complicated plumbing. No stress.

Whether you own or rent, it’s an easy swap that makes a huge difference.

Why Aussies Are Loving the Switch

• 100% clean – not just a “wiped” illusion ✅
• Better for your skin – no irritation, no itch 🌱
• Soothing for sensitive conditions – UTIs, hemorrhoids, postpartum recovery 💦
• Loved by seniors – no bending, no struggle 🧓
• Perfect for renters – installs without damage 🏡

Once people make the switch, they often wonder: “Why didn’t I do this sooner?”

So… Why Wait?

If you’ve made it this far, maybe it’s time to ask the question that matters:
Is dry paper really the best we can do for the most sensitive part of our body?

Thousands of Aussies are upgrading their hygiene with marKey’s no-electricity, lifetime-warranty bidets designed for everyday homes, not hotel spas.

Old Habits, Die Hard. But smart ones stick.
