Dr. Scott Walter is a dermatologist based in Denver, Colorado who frequently uses TikTok to share health tips with his more than 1.2 million followers.
The skincare professional recently took to the video-sharing platform to detail why toilet paper could be giving you a rash while revealing the product that could eliminate any bathroom discomfort.
If toilet paper bothers you, Dr. Scott told his viewers to avoid it and opt for a bidet, which is a container designed to sit on and wash your bottom or genitals.
The video has so far racked up more than 6,600 views and the dermatologist listed the various reasons why “everyone should use a bidet.”
A doctor has lifted the lid on the one thing you should have in your bathroom – and why the lack of it is probably causing problems with your bum.
She recently detailed why toilet paper could be giving you a rash and revealed the product that could take the hassle out of bathroom breaks.
At the beginning of the video, she says, “Here’s why everyone should use a bidet. Now, before you read on because you find it uncomfortable or gross, hear me out.”
Dr. Scott then compared wiping your butt with toilet paper to wiping your “dirty hands” with a “dry paper towel.”
“That’s what we do when we use toilet paper. It’s a dry area and we use dry paper to clean it,” he said, noting that a bidet was more “environmentally friendly.”
The dermatologist also praised the health benefits of using a bidet.
“They offer better hygiene, clean the skin better and leave less bacteria behind, and as a dermatologist, they are much gentler on the skin and cause much less irritation compared to toilet paper,” she said.
Dr. Scott also said they have been shown to help prevent hemorrhoids and urinary tract infections.
At the end of the clip, she admitted that she bought her first bidet “a few years ago” and can’t imagine life without it.
People on the web flooded the comments section and praised the doctor for his advice.

One person said: “When I was in Italy, I loved it! I want one.”
Another user added: “Teambidet forever! I can’t believe I never had one. The basic model is under $40 and not hard to install.”
“Bidet kit! I even travel with one!” wrote another person.
One person commented: ‘I have these in every bathroom in my house. I love them!’
Although bidets have been popular in France since the 17th century, they didn’t become fashionable in the United States until the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
In 2020, demand for bidets grew two to three times, according to CNN.
