The Best Bidet Options Await You And Your Bathroom
A bidet is a priceless item for cleaning your private parts. It is often an underestimated item that makes cleaning privates very easy. However, finding the best bidet can be challenging if you have no idea what to look for in such a product. Thankfully, we can lend a helping hand, so stick with us to see what you should look for when you’re on the market scouting for a suitable bidet.
How to Choose a Bidet
Compared to other stuff that you might need around the bathroom, there are actually a lot of things that you have to take into consideration before actually buying a bidet. Here is the ultimate checklist of things that one has to take into account before purchasing such a product:
Electric VS Non-Electric
The first thing that you need to consider before choosing a specific bidet model is whether you want an electrical or non-electrical one. A non-electrical bidet doesn’t offer that many features but it does manage to get the job done. If you opt for an electrical model, you will get all the bells and whistles that come with choosing such a product. However, you need to consider the fact that there is a price difference between these two types and electrical bidets are at least twice as expensive as regular ones.
Male or Female
Considering the fact that this is a product designed mostly for feminine use, the feminine nozzle position option is one of the first things that you have to look out for. In other words, you want a product that will allow you to adjust the nozzle angle so that it will be comfortable to use. If you’re looking to buy a product that will be used exclusively by men, then you don’t need this feature.
Heated Seating
A heated seat is also a nice feature to have, especially during the winter. Bidets that are equipped with heated seats should also have the option of turning the heat off.
Temperature
If you want a bidet that works with warm water, you also want to be able to adjust the water temperature. Electric bidets most likely have this feature already but some of the basic models will not. Even if adjustable water temperature isn’t a mandatory feature, it is definitely a nice one to have, especially if you’re sensitive to different water temperatures.
Pressure
You might also be interested in products that will allow you to adjust the water pressure. Private parts tend to be really sensitive and every individual will react differently to different water pressure levels.
Spray
Some models will also allow you to adjust the spray width. This is a feature that can be changed by operating the nozzle and it doesn’t really impact the efficiency of a bidet, but it is still considered a nice feature to have.
Oscillating
Another potential feature that you might be interested in is oscillating cleanse. This will help cover a wider spray area making it easy to control the width of the spray without having to move your body around. This will allow for more efficient cleaning with less fussing around on your behalf.
Pulsing
Water pulse cleanse is also an optional feature and falls under the same category as oscillating cleanse. By using pulse actions spray, you will find it more efficient to remove solid matter.
Enema Feature
Enema wash is a rather uncommon feature which can be found on certain electrical bidet models. It can be an important feature to have for people that suffer from conditions such as constipation or hemorrhoids.
Eco-friendly
Power saving mode is another feature that doesn’t directly affect the functionality of the bidet, but it’s something that can help conserve electricity and save you some money in the long run.
Scents
Something that you may not have known is that bidets can also be equipped with air deodorizers. Contrary to what the name might have you believe, this feature actually uses a filter system to absorb odors. Some of the models that have air deodorizers are actually equipped with a small fan located on the side of the bidet. This will further filter the air, removing any unwanted odors. Keep in mind that if you purchase such a product, you are required to replace the filters every six months.
Material
If possible, try to purchase a bidet that’s been equipped with stainless steel nozzles. Due to their construction, they are more resistant to bacteria due to their lack of cracks and pores that make it difficult for bacteria or dirt to get into places that are difficult to clean. A good alternative to stainless steel nozzles is silver iodide ones. Whatever you choose, make sure that you steer clear of plastic.
Types of Bidets
Even if we mentioned the existence of electric and non-electric bidets, these products can be divided into multiple other types, which is why you need to know about the following categories, so that you may narrow down your choices to products that match your needs and your budget:
- Bidet toilet seats are literally toilet seats with bidet systems integrated. This is basically a 2-in-1 type of product, as it can replace your existing toilet seat with a new one, while also equipping everything that you’ll need for private parts cleaning.
- Built-in bidets are actually a combo between a toilet and a bidet. This is the most expensive type of bidet out there (since you’re basically buying two very important bathroom products integrated into a single item) but they are also very versatile and come with a multitude of features that are really useful.
- Bidet sprayers are very convenient for people who are on a budget, but also for those who don’t have a lot of bathroom space to actually install a separate bidet. They are also referred to as “hand-held” bidets and you can position them in any way you want to redirect water glow. They are the best option for elders that want to remain autonomous in the bathroom and don’t have the required mobility to keep trying to access the control panels or the knobs found on other types of bidets.
- Stand-alone bidets are suitable for people with larger bathrooms that actually have the space to install one of these (that actually occupies just about the same amount of space that the toilet bowl does). These can either be mounted on the wall (just like a urinal) or directly on the floor (just like a toilet bowl).
- Bidet toilet attachments are those products that can be mounted on your existing toilet seat. They are a cheaper option and come with plenty of benefits, but they are not as rich in features as the more expensive electric bidets.
- Travel bidets are exactly what they appear to be: portable bidets that can easily fit in your luggage. They are cheap and quite similar in design to a water bottle. All you have to do is squeeze the water recipient and use the spray to clean your private parts.
