A real bidet is a plumbing fixture designed for washing the genitals and anus after using the toilet.
What makes a bidet "real"?
- Dedicated fixture: A real bidet is a separate fixture, not just a spray attachment for a toilet. It's typically a ceramic bowl with a built-in nozzle that sprays water.
- Water source: Bidets use a dedicated water source, usually connected to the plumbing system. They can be standalone units or integrated into toilets.
- Adjustable settings: Real bidets offer adjustable water pressure, temperature, and spray settings for personalized comfort.
- Hygienic design: They often feature a self-cleaning nozzle and a built-in drying function for optimal hygiene.
Types of Bidets:
There are two main types of bidets:
- Standalone Bidets: These are separate fixtures that are installed near the toilet.
- Bidet Toilets: These toilets have a built-in bidet function, eliminating the need for a separate fixture.
Benefits of using a bidet:
- Improved hygiene: Bidets offer a more thorough cleaning compared to toilet paper.
- Reduced toilet paper consumption: This can be beneficial for the environment and your wallet.
- Enhanced comfort: Bidets can be particularly helpful for individuals with certain medical conditions or disabilities.
