Once seldom seen in home bathrooms, bidet toilet seats are now becoming the next hot item. This easy add-on is now more relevant than ever has been due to the current scarcity of toilet paper. If you are thinking about upgrading your bathroom, consider the five benefits of bidets.
Although they are just beginning to expand en mas in America, bidets have long been popular in residential home design in other parts of the world. In fact, up to 90 percent of households in South America have one, and just about every hotel in Japan does too. These types of toilets are useful for many reasons.
1. Improves Personal Hygiene
First and foremost, a bidet toilet seat is a more sanitary option than using only toilet paper. It provides water that can remove residue left on your skin, leaving you feeling cleaner and more refreshed.
2. Saves you Green while going Green
Bidets are also a cost-effective solution for your home bathroom. You will use much less toilet paper, which will cut down your weekly shopping expenses. Over the life of your bidet toilet seat, these savings could add up to big money.
In addition to saving money on toilet paper purchases you will also reduce your household waste because there is less packaging to dispose of when you buy less toilet paper.
3. A More Comfortable Experience
A bidet toilet is more comfortable to use than a traditional bathroom toilet. It provides a splash of water that can be varied in direction, temperature and intensity. You will not experience the rough pressure or rubbing, which can cause inflammation or discomfort.
4. Environmentally Friendly
All that toilet paper flushed down the drain adds up. It is estimated that American use more than three million tons of toilet paper every year. In addition, toilet paper packages increase the amount of household waste produced. If there was widespread use of bidet toilet seats in America, the positive effect on the environment could be considerable.
5. Fewer Plumbing Problems
Traditional toilets tend to have more clogging issues than bidets. Since less toilet paper is usually needed, you will be less likely to experience a backup that requires a costly call to a plumber.
A bidet toilet seat is a smart solution to many common bathroom concerns. If you have never considered purchasing one before, now might be the right time.
