Bidets have been around longer than you think. Originating from French furniture makers in the late 17th century, bidets were designed to enhance personal hygiene. The earliest written reference to the bidet dates back to 1726 in Italy. Today, they’re making a comeback in modern homes, offering numerous benefits for users and their plumbing systems. Let’s explore why you should consider installing a bidet toilet seat in your home.
Protect Your Plumbing
Bidet owners use 75% less toilet paper, significantly reducing the risk of clogged toilets. This is particularly beneficial for homeowners with septic tanks, as less toilet paper leads to longer intervals between maintenance calls. By switching to a bidet, you can keep your plumbing in better shape and save on costly repairs.
Save Trees
Using a bidet drastically cuts down your toilet paper consumption. Nearly 10 million trees are cut down annually to produce toilet paper. Bidet users report using up to 75% less toilet paper, which not only helps the environment but also saves you money. Think of all the cash you’re flushing down the drain—literally!
Health Benefits
Bidets offer numerous health benefits:
- Enhanced Cleanliness: Washing with water cleans you twice as effectively as wiping with toilet paper. This reduces the risk of infections like UTIs by washing away bacteria instead of spreading it.
- Hemorrhoid Relief: Using a bidet with medium-low water pressure can relieve pressure on the anus, reducing the risk of hemorrhoids. The warm water stimulates the anus, aiding bowel movements and reducing straining.
- Sensitive Skin Care: Bidets are gentler on sensitive skin, providing a more comfortable and hygienic experience.
Save Money on Toilet Paper
Toilet paper is an ongoing expense. Using a bidet toilet seat can cut down on this cost, especially if you currently use wet wipes, which are notorious for causing sewer line clogs. Investing in a bidet can save you money in the long run by reducing the need for toilet paper and preventing plumbing issues.
Break the Cycle of Bad Potty Habits
Installing a bidet toilet seat can help curtail waste and promote better bathroom habits. Children, especially during potty training, tend to use excessive amounts of toilet paper. The U.S. is reported to be last in the world for good bathroom hygiene. Bear’s Plumbing can help retrain your household to use the bidet, promoting sustainability and hygiene.
Comfort
Bidets are often more comfortable to use than traditional toilets. The gentle stream of water can provide a soothing and refreshing experience, enhancing your overall comfort during bathroom visits.
