All about bidets: Variety and purpose

Bidet - a sanitary device, the main purpose of which is hygienic procedures after visiting the toilet. It is also used as a bathroom for babies, as a low sink for the smallest.

Using the bidet as a small sink is very convenient for pregnant women and women during menstruation. After each use of the toilet you can easily take a shower for the lower body without going into a conventional bath, shower stall. And this, after all, saves time, water and electricity resources, and as a result and material.

The same bidet will be a convenient device for the elderly and people with disabilities!

You can sit on the bidet in different positions - if only it would be convenient for you. In fact, it does not matter whether you sit in front of the faucet or not - the bidet works in the same mode and without fail. In addition to intimate hygiene, the bidet can also be used to wash your hands or feet. In the case of the bidet lid on the toilet is an opportunity to wash, which has a more hygienically clean result than the use of toilet paper.

The bidet does not take up much space, it is a multifunctional device, very simple and easy to use.

Bidets come in a variety of types. Floor-standing and wall-hung sinks are considered classic models.

The innovation in this sanitary-hygienic sanitary equipment is considered a hygienic shower Bidetta - a more compact and convenient option. It is a kind of faucet, which is attached to the shower or sink, and is used when it is impossible to install a separate, separate bidet.

A special design is considered a WC bidet lid: it is similar to a normal toilet seat lid, but at the same time is equipped with a mixer and performs the same functions as a separate bidet. Can be electrically controlled, with a heating element, which saves the situation with the lack of hot water.

The basic classification of bidets is as follows:

• simple;
• with upward flow of water;
• bidet lids.

Modern design developments make the use of the bidet even more convenient. It is the automatic mixer, sensor movement sensors and drying function - a new word in sanitary engineering.

To answer this question, let's recall the previous sections and systematize the already existing knowledge. So, the bidet is needed for:

1. Washing the lower part of the body (external genitalia and anus), instead of using toilet paper.
2. Washing hands, feet, various parts of the body.
3. Bathing small children.

Washing with cool water, for example, not only cleanses the skin, but also has a preventive purpose: the prevention of hemorrhoids. A bidet is a very useful device in clinics, where some patients, for one reason or another, cannot take a regular shower in case of its absence.

A bidet is also a widely used fixture in children's summer camps, allowing parents to be more confident that their child can take care of his or her own hygiene under any circumstances.

Washing hands or feet in the bidet is more convenient than reaching for the sink or pouring water into a basin or bathtub or taking a shower. And for families with small children, the bidet becomes a universal bathtub-sink! It is no longer necessary to store on the balcony baby tubs, which are often placed in the apartment, nowhere.

After each toilet procedure it is necessary to do all the well-known hygienic operations. Both before and now it can be done with paper, but the more convenient and hygienically correct way is to wash.

Sequence of steps:

• if the bidet lid is built into the toilet or you are dealing with an electronic toilet - stay on it, taking the most comfortable position for you - facing or back to the wall;
• If you are adjusting the bidet manually, turn on the faucet and select the optimal water temperature for you. The automatic faucet will adjust everything on its own;
• Once you have obtained the desired temperature, wash with soap (gel), cleaning not only the genital and anus area, but also other parts of the body if desired;
• if your bidet supports the drying function - use it, if not - use a towel or tissues;
• When you have finished hygienic procedures over your own body, you need to rinse the sink itself.

If we talk about more specific instructions for use, they can be obtained directly from the employees who install the bidet, and the brochures that come with the purchased bidet.

The faucet for the bidet is almost the same as the faucets for bathtubs and washbasins. The only difference is their rotary aerator, which regulates the direction of the water jet.

Faucets can be of the following types:

• with the use of a single valve;
• two valves;
• joystick;
• two-lever;
• single-lever;
• thermostat;
• electronic.

Bidet water temperature controllers are made of the following materials:

1. Brass.
2. Stainless steel.
3. Metal.

For those who want to attach a bidet to their bathroom on their own, there are the following options for your own bidet installation, taking into account the type of bidet.

Hand-made installation of a bidet of simple type is as follows:

• We carry out markings on the surfaces where it is expected to be installed bidet.
• The faucet connect to the water supply, using flexible hoses, and the siphon - with a corrugated hose. All this is done before we attach the bidet to the floor.
