For some time now, bidets have ceased to be perceived as an unnecessary extravagance. They are gaining popularity day by day, becoming an almost indispensable element of bathroom equipment. This is due to their practicality. They are convenient devices primarily designed for hygienic procedures after using the toilet. What else can a bidet be used for and how to use it?
What is a bidet used for?
A bidet is a bathroom fixture designed for washing intimate areas. It resembles a toilet bowl or a sink placed low above the floor. People who want to refresh themselves after using the toilet appreciate the practical function of the bidet, as maintaining hygiene is extremely important to them. Very often, using only toilet paper does not provide perfect cleanliness for intimate parts of the body and does not guarantee freshness. Therefore, it is worth using a device that allows for the maintenance of hygiene in intimate areas. Using a bidet is particularly recommended for people suffering from hemorrhoids, frequent constipation, or recurrent diarrhea.
How else can you use a bidet?
Although a bidet is primarily used for washing oneself after using the toilet, it can also be used in other ways. This type of bathroom fixture also allows for comfortable washing of other parts of the body. Adults can successfully wash their legs in it after returning from work or cool them off in the summer when high temperatures are particularly burdensome. It is much easier for young children to wash their hands using a bidet than from a high-mounted sink. Due to its installation height, it can be particularly useful for elderly individuals with limited mobility. Using a bidet instead of a bathtub or shower is a more convenient and safer solution, which also allows for a significant reduction in water usage.
Where is the best place to install a bidet in the bathroom?
Since bidets are used for intimate hygiene, they should be located near the toilet bowl and at the same height as the toilet to ensure comfort and ease of use. It is recommended that the distance between the fixtures be about 30 cm, providing adequate space for the legs and ensuring the possibility of free movement. On the market, there are two types of bidets available in the sanitary systems and bathroom ceramics sector: standing bidets and wall-mounted bidets. If you choose the latter version, you can mount both fixtures (both bidet and toilet) on special wall-mounted frames which will later be covered with tiles used for decorating the bathroom.
The right faucet for quick cleaning after using the toilet
The bidet faucet is designed to enable using the bidet in a comfortable sitting position. Most bidets do not have a seat, but the wide edges of the bowl and the standing model faucet ensure comfortable use. You just need to sit facing or away from it so that the water washes the appropriate part of the body without the need to undress completely. Bidet faucets may have a slightly raised outlet, and some models feature a movable aerator that allows you to direct the water stream without splashing. With special knobs, you can set the water flow and temperature. However, the most popular are thermostatic faucets that maintain a constant water temperature.
What does a modern bidet look like today and what is the control panel used for?
A convenient and practical solution, while being comfortable to use, is a toilet integrated with a bidet, meaning an automatic bidet seat equipped with washing nozzles. It is mounted directly on the toilet bowl. A touch remote control is included with the device. When the electronic seat is activated, a nozzle emerges from the main panel that releases water to wash the intimate areas. The device has a rear washing function or can combine both functions in a so-called oscillating wash, which is particularly important for women.
During the washing process, it is also possible to use a pulsating mode. The toilet also has the option to set the position of the nozzle and automatic cleaning before and after use. The device is equipped with a hybrid water heating system and stream intensity regulation. After using the bidet, it is necessary to activate the drying with warm air, which ensures comfort and reduces toilet paper usage.
The installation of both a bidet and a toilet in one is not only a fashion hit but also a significant convenience. It is also an innovative solution that saves space in the bathroom. Products of this type made from high-quality ceramics will surely interest customers for whom hygiene is the foundation of a healthy body.
