Personal Hygiene – Why Is It Important?
When it comes to personal hygiene, everyone knows that it is essential. People are told from an early age to wash their hands, brush their teeth, take baths/showers regularly, and keep their private areas clean. While you know you need to, do you understand why it is so important?
Good hygiene habits are directly related to your health. If you have poor habits, such as not taking a shower, you are going to experience greasy skin and hair, as well as body odor.
Those who don’t wash their hands after using the facilities are going to have germs on their hands. These can quickly be transferred to your eyes or mouth and could lead to an infection. Also, you can transfer those germs to other people through food preparation and touching them.
Why Bathroom Hygiene Is Necessary?
Personal hygiene also focuses on the intimate parts of your body. Often, after using the bathroom, you wipe yourself with toilet paper. However, that doesn’t really get you clean. Have you ever used the restroom and immediately taken a shower? Don’t you feel much cleaner afterward?
Of course, you should wash your intimate places every day with soap and water, and the easiest place to do that is the shower. However, there can be times where you don’t feel clean and fresh, and a bidet for the toilet is an excellent alternative.
What Is a Bidet?
A traditional bidet is often installed right in the toilet bowl. It shoots a spray of clean water onto your private parts, such as the buttocks and genitalia.
While it is an excellent tool and can help make hygiene habits easier, it is expensive to install. Instead, you may want to consider a hand-held bidet. They’re often called bidet sprayers or showers. The nozzle is attached to the toilet’s water system. After using the restroom, having sexual intercourse, or anytime you need to freshen up, just remove the sprayer from the holster and spray clean water on your private parts. Do this over the toilet to catch the water and prevent messes.
You can also find a portable bidet, which often looks like a bottle with an angled nozzle on top. The concept is the same: you fill the bottle with clean water (usually bottled water,) and spray it onto your private parts to clean them thoroughly.
To do this, you squeeze the bottle portion while holding the angled nozzle on the parts you want to clean. The water is forced from the opening and onto your body parts.
That way, you can have a bidet with you, even when you’re at work or traveling. You don’t have to worry about not feeling clean down there anymore because there are so many bidet options available.
The hand-held bidet is ideal for your home if your current toilet doesn’t include one. Plus, it is less expensive to install rather than buying a new toilet system. Of course, the portable bidet requires a few extra steps to use, but it is suitable for times when you’re not at home. Consider both of these options to improve your personal hygiene habits after using the restroom
