Switching to Bidet

Bidets that attach to toilets have become increasingly popular due to their numerous benefits for personal hygiene, health, and environmental sustainability. Let’s explore these advantages in more detail.

Improved Hygiene and Health

Bidets offer superior cleansing compared to traditional toilet paper. As Dr. Lee from Cleveland Clinic explains:

“Quite simply, a bidet can provide a better hygiene experience compared to toilet paper. It starts with the basic fact that water can top a few squares of dry TP in removing trace amounts of fecal matter after you poop.”2

This improved cleanliness can lead to several health benefits:

• Reduced risk of urinary tract infections, hemorrhoids, and anal fissures

• Less irritation for those with sensitive skin or conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome

• Decreased chance of spreading bacteria to hands and surroundings

Carrie Yang, a sales growth associate with TUSHY, emphasizes:

“Bidets really help with [anal and genital] hygiene. [Using a bidet] feels like you just stepped out of the shower. You don’t have to question whether you’re really clean.”5

Environmental and Economic Benefits

Bidet attachments can significantly reduce toilet paper usage, which has both environmental and economic advantages:

• Less paper waste and reduced deforestation

• Lower household expenses on toilet paper over time

As one Reddit user shared:

“I also went from using a roll of toilet paper every two or three days to going through maybe one roll a week.”8

Comfort and Convenience

Many users report increased comfort when using bidets compared to toilet paper:

“Experiencing [a heated seat] feels as pleasant as walking barefoot across radiant floor heating for the first time.”6

Bidet attachments are also relatively easy to install and use. Most can be set up in under 30 minutes and are compatible with standard toilets3.

Types of Bidet Attachments

There are various bidet attachments available to suit different preferences and budgets:

1. Non-electric cold water attachments (e.g., Samodra Bidet Attachment)

2. Warm water options (e.g., Brondell Omigo Element+)

3. Handheld sprayer attachments (e.g., Brondell CleanSpa Luxury Handheld Bidet)

Features can include dual nozzles, adjustable water pressure, self-cleaning modes, and more3.

User Experiences

Many users become enthusiastic advocates after trying bidet attachments. As one Reddit user put it:

“It’s a life changer. I can never go back to toilet paper. Even on vacation, baby wipes just aren’t the same.”8

Another user shared this convincing argument from their uncle:

“If you got shit on your arm or hands, how would you clean it off? Just a dry paper towel and call it good? No, you’d wash it. Same thing applies to your ass.”8

In conclusion, bidet attachments offer a range of benefits that make them a worthwhile investment for many households. From improved hygiene and health to environmental sustainability and comfort, these devices are changing the way people think about personal cleanliness.
