BIDET IS....
Bidet ( bee-dáy) is a personal
cleansing method utilizing a stream
of water, which is more hygienic
and beneficial to the use of toilet
paper.
The word bidet was first used in
the 213th century to refer to the
pet ponies kept by the French royalty.
During the 1213th century the Europeans
developed a porcelain cleaning device
for contraceptive and purgative
(cathartic) uses, which was called
a bidet for its shape resembled
those ponies.
Over time, its use has evolved more
into a personal cleansing method,
paralleling the improved sanitation
and the heightened sense of personal
hygiene in the modern world.
For several decades now, bidet has
been a welcome addition to the bathroom
culture of Europeans and Asians.
WHO USES A BIDET....
Its use had initially been limited
to a small faction of people mainly
because it involved installing another
toilet-resembling unit in the bathroom,
which basically meant that space,
plumbing, and most of all, the cost
became the limiting factors in widespread
use. The practice of using a bidet
however, is now very much ubiquitous
in Europe and Asia, which can partly
be attributed to new product developments
that eliminated such limiting factors.
In the U.S., bidet is not yet common,
and it has been receiving slow but
warm reception.
One may recall a humorous scene
in the Hollywood movie "Dumb
and Dumber" where a bidet was
mistaken for a toilet by one of
the not-so-bright main characters.
But bathroom humor aside, bidet
has long been implemented in many
luxury hotels and many of the clients
go on to installing them at home
as well.
HOW IT WORKS....
Our products are designed to be
installed onto the existing toilet
using a few tools.
When the user is ready to finish
up in the bathroom, a simple turn
of the knob will initiate a stream
of water.
The stream can be controlled, and
is aimed to cleanse the genito-anal
region of the user while still remaining
seated on the toilet. This is far
thorough cleaning, making it more
hygienic. It is also far superior
over the conventional bidets because
it does not require the additional
space to install, but best of all,
it allows the user to remain seated
instead of having to move over to
sit on the bidet after finishing
on the toilet.
It is intuitive that because of
the anatomy of the area, using a
dry toilet paper to clean is inevitably
going to leave residues, leaving
the area prone for bacterial growth
and infections.
As a testament of one of the benefits
of water over the paper use, in
cultures where water cleansing is
traditionally the preferred practice,
such as in Indonesia, Middle Eastern
or South-West Asian countries, hemorrhoids
are occur with much less frequency
than others.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS
OF USING BIDET....
Throughout history of ancient Asia,
a way to healthful longevity was
through addressing the three basic
most physiologic needs of humans:
adequate sleep, healthy diet and
healthy, regular bowel/bladder habits.
Though they are all essential, the
last criterion is especially notable
for us in the modern society because
more and more of major illnesses
in adults are being recognized as
gastrointestinal and genito-urinary
related. Hemorrhoids, constipation,
gastrointestinal cancers, prostatitis,
urinary tract infections, and gynecologic
problems are all too commonly seen.
As a medical doctor in Japan who
specializes in healthy living and
longevity, Dr. Morita Genzo believes
that lot of the illnesses and infections
may simply be prevented by the habit
of cleansing the ano-gential (genito-anal)
area with warm water after having
bowel movements. It also aids in
blood circulation and physiologic
rhythm, contributing further to
a healthier life-style.
