Outside of North America Packers Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey , using a bidet is the preferred method of cleaning after using the restroom. When looking at readers鈥?comments on the many bidet articles out there, a lot of people have heard of the bidet, but not sure what it is exactly. How does it work? Is it used to wash your feet? Outside of North America, using a bidet is the preferred method of cleaning after using the restroom. Perhaps in your travels to Europe (particularly France Packers Randall Cobb Jersey , Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal), you鈥檝e seen them as they are commonly found in homes Packers Mike Daniels Jersey , hotels and restaurants. They are also popular in Asia 鈥?sometimes referred to as a Japanese toilet or washlet. They can be frequently found in the Middle-East, and parts of South America as well. In Argentina for example, almost every home has a bidet. And in Venezuela, having one will actually increase the value of your home!
In North America however Packers Clay Matthews Jersey , bidets are still very much in their infancy. When looking at readers鈥?comments on the many bidet articles out there, a lot of people have heard of the bidet, but not sure what it is exactly. How does it work? Is it used to wash your feet?
So, let鈥檚 try to clear this up. The first thing to understand Packers Aaron Rodgers Jersey , is that all the bidets in the world can be grouped into three general families. These families are listed in order of evolution:
鈥?Basin-type Bidets 鈥?the first type of bidet ever created. These are actually separate porcelain fixtures that sit next to the toilet. Many basin-type bidets have a water spout at the bottom of the bowl which directs the water stream upwards to wash you as you squat over it. These are the bidets most North Americans think of when hearing about a bidet.
鈥?Simple Bidet Seat Attachments 鈥?these bidets attach to your existing toilet so they take up a lot less space in your bathroom. Often made of plastic, these bidet attachments come in varying levels of sophistication, with the simplest form being just a water extension from the cold water supply. The water flows thru a wand which can be directed at your undercarriage.
鈥?Electronic Bidet Seat Attachments 鈥?this type of bidet also attaches to your existing toilet but as the name implies, is plugged in to an electrical outlet. These are the most modern and technologically advanced bidet types. Features include telescopic wash nozzles which retract when not in use Packers Bart Starr Jersey , and a warm air dry to take care of residual moisture after washing.
Which type of bidet is the best for you? Well before answering, let鈥檚 consider that most North American bathrooms weren鈥檛 designed to handle an additional fixture next to the toilet. This probably leaves you to choose between one of the two bidet attachments.
The biggest advantage of the Simple Bidet Seat Attachment is cost. Many of these bidets can be found for less than $100 USD, and they do an effective job at cleaning. Many folks will find that this type of bidet will suffice, as it is certainly more effective than taking multiple wipes with toilet paper.
Then there鈥檚 the Electronic Bidet which as stated Packers Dexter Williams Jersey , is the most advanced of the bunch. In addition to retractable wash nozzles and an air dry function, these bidets are equipped with a water heating system so you don鈥檛 have to use cold water. They also have massage features like a pulsating water stream, and a temperature-controlled heated seat. There鈥檚 nothing like sitting on a nice, warmed seat in the freezing winter! To further illustrate Packers Jace Sternberger Jersey , here鈥檚 a video demonstration on the electronic bidet: > Electronic bidets are comparable to basin-type bidets in price 鈥?about $400 to $500 USD. But the fact that electronic bidets don鈥檛 require extra space in the bathroom makes it more practical for North Americans to install. And when you consider the additional features an electronic bidet has over the other bidet types, the electronic bidet is a great choice for many.
