About the Project:
Did you know that every single person on this planet poops? Yes, you know. Well, did you know that most Americans are doing it completely wrong? Yes, wrong! Well, the time has come to say "No more!" Let's get clean, let's change culture, and let's help our world and our environment.
Introducing: TUSHY, a modern bidet attachment that turns your average toilet into a tushy-cleaning, personal hygiene wonderland!
So, you're probably asking: "A bidet? Isn't that those fancy things in Europe that look like toilets but aren't actually toilets?"
No! Well, sort of yes. TUSHY is a simple to install attachment that connects to your existing toilet and water supply and runs without the use of electricity!

Since the dawn of time, humans have found creative ways to clean up after pooping: coconuts, snow, moss, hay, and leaves to name a few. The majority of Americans, right now, use toilet paper. And my goodness do we use a lot of it! Each American (that includes you!) produces 50 lbs of toilet paper waste each year. It takes 37 gallons of water, 1.3 KWh of electricity, and 1.5 pounds of wood to make a single roll of toilet paper! Americans use about 36.5 billion rolls of toilet paper every year which requires the pulping of about 15 million trees, 473,587,500,000 gallons of water, and 253,000 tons of chlorine for bleaching!

What Do We Need?
TUSHY is a female led startup that is looking to do some good. Our team is lead by Miki (founder extraordinaire!), Emmy, and MJ. Based in Brooklyn, New York, TUSHY is doing this campaign in order to make our manufacturing deadline and to spread the word. In order to keep manufacturing in the US we need to make our minimum of $20,000 before June 15th. Making it past this hurdle will allow us to keep our manufacturing, build our team, and begin our partnership with Toilet Hackers. Following this mark, 5% of each TUSHY purchase will go toward bringing toilets to areas of the world without plumbing.
Your support will be the catalyst for our startup to keep moving forward. We want to stay in the US! We want to decrease waste! And you can help us do it. Why? Because all of you deserves to be clean. Let's save money (less toilet paper = less green= more serene), let's save trees (less green= more serene), and let's change culture.
Why Are We Doing This?

Miki Agrawal, Founder
"I am half-Japanese and I grew up knowing about bidets my whole life and dreaming of having my own one day. I finally got a bidet attachment 4 years ago as a Valentine's Day present (he knew of my obsession with bidets, what a guy!) and it transformed my entire bathroom experience. A once messy, wasteful, time consuming, not so clean experience was replaced with a precise, short burst of refreshing water that gave me peace of mind and a clean feeling that I had never felt before.
I also realized how wasteful producing a single role of toilet paper was. 37 gallons of water and bleach to produce one single roll!? What!? I couldn't believe that Americans go through 57 sheets of toilet paper per day! -Versus using a single pint of water for every time you use a bidet sounded way more environmental too!
The final reason why I am passionate about this project is because not only am I half-Japanese but I am half-Indian too (Dad is from India)! I have been to India many times, to Africa three times and discovered the huge sanitation crisis around the world. 40% of the world doesn't have proper sanitation nor a place to go to the bathroom. We're talking about human beings. So, by partnering with Toilet Hackers, I feel like we are taking part in a real solution for our fellow earthlings around the world."

MJ Batson, TUSHY Extraordinaire! & Co-Owner
"Before becoming a part of TUSHY, I didn't know a lot about bidets. So I decided to do some research. I found out that not only are bidets better from a hygienic standpoint, but I also saw a lot of opportunities for good. Yes, we can make the environment better but I'm also concerned with other ways to make a difference. During my research, I read a testimony from a person whose spouse was diagnosed with ALS. Following the installation of a bidet attachment, her spouse was able to gain back some independence that he had not had for a while. It's a simple act, going to the restroom, but for some it's way more than that. Our partnership with Toilet Hackers is another example of how TUSHY can be a part of something extraordinary. As an American, I understand that I live a privileged life. We have toilets. So being able to help an elderly lady feel young for a second, a mom have less of burden doing laundry with her sons, or something as grand as bringing toilets to an area that didn't have the means is a cause I am happy to be a part of. I'm a strong believer in the purpose driven life and I give my time when a difference can be made (big or small) and TUSHY has the potential to make some noise. And I'm happy to help bring the sound to as many as I possibly can. I have a holistic approach to life and finding the harmony in all areas is a constant goal. So why TUSHY? Because all of you and me and everyone deserves to be clean." xxMJ

Emmy Bush, TUSHY Extraordinaire! & Co-Owner
"The aspect of TUSHY I was drawn to was the eco-conscious side. Ever since I was little my family recycled, carried reusable grocery bags, composted, and rejected plastic water bottles, just to name a few. So TUSHY for me was another thing I could do on a daily basis to make a difference. 27,000 trees are cut down daily just to make toilet paper! That number is alarming to me. The consumption of toilet paper in America is alarming to me, and I want to change that."
