Bidet Companies See Massive Growth as Americans Warm Up to Bum-Cleaning Alternative During Pandemic

Bidet sales boomed in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic when there were toilet paper shortages
Bidet companies like Tushy and bidetking.com saw massive revenue growth, with the overall bidet market growing 2-3 times in 2020
Bidet sales have stayed strong after the pandemic, with 20-30% yearly growth as more Americans convert to using them
Reasons for shunning bidets historically include their association with brothels by American WWII soldiers and foreignness compared to toilet paper
Social norms may need to shift more for bidets to become truly mainstream in the US, but conversions are spreading by word-of-mouth
