A Berlin start-up presented how one can apparently get along without toilet paper as early as 2017 on TV.

Some fans of “

Die Höhle der Löwen *

” may still remember the Berlin

start-up

“HappyPo”: In 2017, Oliver Elsoud and Frank Schmischke presented

a rather unusual product

in the

TV founding show

- namely a butt shower.

Or to put it another way: handy shower devices as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional toilets.

Because

in this case you should be able to do

without

toilet paper

.

It works like a hand bidet, the water comes at the push of a button.

The corona-related shortage of toilet paper made the butt showers “a hit”, according to

Businessinsider.de.

wrote

on Thursday.

Bild.de

had previously

reported on the deal.

An exact purchase price was not mentioned in the report.

were able to win

Dagmar Wöhrl

as an investor.

120,000 euros in the

idea

and secured 25 percent of the company's shares, as
