The Many Types of Bidet Sets: An Overview
Bidet sprayer attachments are a plumbing fixture that helps you get clean after going to the bathroom. It uses a gentle water spray instead of paper products. They’ve been used for hundreds and hundreds of years throughout the world, but North America is just catching on. These tools can make personal hygiene easier and more comfortable.
There are a variety of bidet toilet types and styles. It’s important to learn about each one so that you can make an informed buying decision. Every bidet style has its own benefits and drawbacks.
Seat Bidet Attachment
This is a bidet for the toilet, and it is usually attached to the underside of the seat. Some of them are retractable, so they only come out when you’re finished. Others are designed to sit lower into the tank so that you don’t “go” on them. Generally, you can quickly install the bidet, and you don’t have to purchase a new toilet.
Still, you can also buy and install a bidet toilet. It has a built-in mechanism at the bottom of the bowl. You finish using the restroom and flush. Then, you can utilize the bidet function to clean your behind without using paper. The toilet spray comes from the water inside the bowl, which is why you want to flush it first. That way, you’ve got clean water to rinse your bum.
Handheld Bidet
The handheld bidet sprayer for the toilet is an excellent alternative to a traditional bidet. Some people call it a shattaf, though this is primarily in Muslim households.
Often it is considered a bidet attachment because it doesn’t come with the toilet and doesn’t hook to the toilet. Instead, it is installed to the side, similar to a garden hose with a sprayer on the end. However, the tubing is shorter, and the spray is gentler. It can still be called a toilet bidet because it sits close to the toilet and is utilized to clean the rear end without using paper products.
A handheld bidet is also called a diaper sprayer. You can use it to rinse out soiled cloth diapers. This is exceptionally handy for the toddler years when your child can’t make it to the bathroom in time. It also works well to rinse off your baby’s behind instead of using wet wipes.
Faucet Bidet
A faucet bidet is a little different. It is installed on the sink and shoots a gentle spray of water from the faucet head instead of a steady stream. You can find options that are motion-sensitive.
Portable Bidet
A portable bidet looks like a plastic bottle with an angled tip. You squeeze the bottle portion, and a spray of water comes through. It might take multiple squeezes to get clean. This is ideal for when you are traveling or at work.
CONCLUSION
There are many types of bidets out there, and many people prefer to have multiple versions. For example, you can pair a portable bidet with a handheld one so that you can be clean anywhere you go. With so many reasons to use a bidet over toilet paper, you should consider buying one for your home.
