The mystery of bidets is hard to unravel. What do so many countries around the world see in these fixtures? Well, for one, they’re pretty good for your skin.

Most people aren’t exactly aware of the benefits that come with using a bidet, but that’s only because it’s not exactly a topic that comes up often. Yet, many of us suffer from skin conditions and rashes in our bottom areas, which is why this topic should come up more often.

Bidets help ease discomfort and protect skin from various issues. If you’re wondering what the fuss around bidets is about, here are a few examples to get you started.

It’s a lot cleaner

Cleanliness is a big part of bathroom hygiene. One of the main issues of using toilet paper is that it doesn’t actually leave you clean after going to the bathroom.

This gives only the illusion of cleanliness, which isn’t ideal. This allows bacteria to remain on your skin and cause infections if there are any skin conditions or sores present. 

While you might not be scrubbing or using soap when you use a bidet, you still get quite a thorough clean after using one. It leaves your skin clean and allows you to go about your day without the worry of itching and rashes.

Not to mention, it also makes it a lot easier to deal with any skin conditions you might have.

Bidets help ease hemorrhoids

Hemorrhoids are a very common condition, and they aren’t the least bit pleasant. They make going to the bathroom a lot more painful and uncomfortable, while also exacerbating various skin conditions in the area. They are treatable, but it takes a while to keep them under control.

Toilet paper doesn’t exactly help the issue, either. No matter how soft the paper is, it’s still an abrasive factor that further harms the skin and irritates hemorrhoids.

Many studies and personal experiences have found that warm water can help ease hemorrhoid pain and discomfort. While gentle water contact in the shower will help, you can’t exactly shower every time you have to go to the bathroom, especially if you’re in a hurry.

The good news is that bidets can take over this role. They provide a gentle stream of water to ease hemorrhoids, without taking up any time. Plus, they don’t provide further irritation, as is the case with wiping with toilet paper.

There’s no additional effort involved

A lot of people see bidets as something that is unnecessarily complex for bathroom usage. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s just a stream of water that helps keep you clean. With the press of a button, you’re a lot cleaner and your skin doesn’t see any additional irritation.

Even the leftover water that you have on your skin is easy to deal with. You won’t have to wipe or wear drenched pants after using a bidet, as most of them come with a warm air attachment to help dry your bottom.

Installing a bidet isn’t all that complicated either. You might not even need a plumber for most models. All you need to install one is a functional toilet and an adaptor to help connect the bidet.

It won’t take much time off of your day to add a bidet to your toilet. You can quickly enjoy all the benefits that come with a more hygienic bathroom tool without any hassle.

It helps you better treat your skin

Generally, you won’t feel very clean after using toilet paper. You’ll generally apply ointments and creams for various reasons after taking a shower.

It might be part of your morning or nightly ritual, but you’ll take a hands-off approach for most of the day. After using a bidet, you can apply any of the treatments you want without feeling uneasy about cleanliness.

Water also feels pretty good on your skin. If you find warm water irritating, there’s nothing stopping you from using a colder stream on your bidet.

The same applies in the opposite scenario. You can give your skin the exact treatment it requires without much effort, leading to a much more comfortable and relaxing day, whichever way you look at it.

Conclusion

There are numerous benefits to using a bidet, especially when it comes to skincare on your bottom. It’s a very convenient tool that provides the utmost comfort and versatility for your needs, all at the press of a button.

It’s hard to imagine switching back to toilet paper after using a bidet, which is why most people don’t switch back. Keep this in mind when considering fixtures for your bathroom.
