Bidet Toilets

Ever wondered what a bidet toilet is and how it works? You’re not alone – many people are curious about this innovative bathroom feature that’s quickly gaining popularity worldwide.

At Bidet Specialists Perth, we’re here to help you understand the fascinating world of bidet toilets. Whether you’re considering upgrading your bathroom or just want to understand how bidets work, let’s explore everything you need to know.

What is a bidet toilet?

A bidet toilet is a modern bathroom fixture that combines the functionality of a traditional toilet with the refreshing clean of a bidet. 

Unlike regular toilets, which rely on toilet paper, a bidet toilet uses a soft stream of water to clean intimate areas after use, giving you a more hygienic and eco-friendly alternative.

Many types of bidet toilets also come with a range of smart features, from adjustable water pressure to temperature control and heated seats, offering an incredibly comfortable experience with each bathroom visit.

How does a bidet toilet work?

At the heart of a bidet toilet is water-based cleaning for a cleaner, fresher experience. Let’s break down the key features that make it work so well:

  1. Water spray nozzle

The nozzle is neatly tucked into the toilet seat and, when activated, extends to gently spray water exactly where it’s needed. 

In most cases, it directs water to clean your posterior, but all models also feature a nozzle that targets the front for feminine cleansing.

The nozzle moves into the perfect position and angle, giving you a complete and efficient clean each time you use your bidet.

  1. Control panel or remote

You can easily operate the bidet’s functions using either an attached control panel or a wireless remote. 

The controls allow you to adjust things like water pressure, temperature, and even the nozzle position, so you get the ideal comfort you need every time.

For example, if you prefer a gentle spray, you can lower the water pressure with a simple touch. Or, If you want the water a bit warmer, you can easily adjust the temperature.

Whether you’re sitting comfortably on the seat or using the remote from a distance, everything is within your reach for a truly customised experience.

  1. Heated seat

Many bidet toilets come with adjustable heated seats, making your bathroom visits much more comfortable and pleasant, especially during those colder months.

Whether you just want a mild warmth, or something warmer and cosier, you can adjust your bidet seat’s heat to your liking. This may seem like a small touch, but it can make a world of difference.

  1. Air dryer

After your cleansing, many bidet toilets like the Toto Neorest RH come with an integrated warm air dryer that you can activate to gently dry the cleaned area.

Once you’ve finished the cleaning cycle, you can simply press a button to start the air dryer, which blows warm air for a few seconds to dry you off.

This convenient, easy-to-use feature helps reduce or even completely eliminate the need for toilet paper, offering a more hygienic and environmentally conscious option. 

  1. Deodoriser

Advanced bidet models like the Toto S7 Washlet come with a built-in deodorising system that helps neutralise odours to keep your bathroom smelling fresh. 

The system works by using odour-absorbing materials placed near the seat. Once you activate the bidet, the deodoriser kicks in automatically, leaving behind a clean, fresh scent, eliminating the need for air fresheners or sprays.

  1. Self-cleaning mechanism

Many bidets work wonders for personal hygiene by automatically activating a self-cleaning nozzle before and after each use. 

This feature ensures the nozzle stays sanitary without you having to do a thing. For instance, when you sit down and the bidet activates, the nozzle automatically rinses itself to clear away any residue.

Then, after you’re done, it cleans itself again, so it’s fresh and ready for the next use. This provides an amazingly simple, hands-free way to maintain cleanliness.

The advantages of choosing a bidet toilet

Switching to a bidet toilet can bring a range of fantastic benefits to your daily routine. Here are some of the top benefits you can enjoy:

  1. Better personal care

Water cleansing is not only more effective, but also much gentler on your skin compared to traditional toiler paper. 

With a bidet, you’re using a soft stream of water to clean yourself thoroughly. This reduces the risk of skin irritation or discomfort that come with wiping.

For example, if you have sensitive skin or conditions like haemorrhoids, the soothing water pressure can provide relief and prevent further irritation.

  1. Enhanced comfort and accessibility

Bidet toilets come with some fantastic features to make you feel extra comfortable, like heated seats, adjustable water pressure, and air dryers.

Plus, the convenience doesn’t stop there. For people with mobility challenges, a bidet offers a much easier and more thorough cleaning process. 

Instead of struggling to wipe or reach certain areas, the bidet’s gentle stream of water does all the hard work, making it not just more comfortable, but also more accessible.

  1. Cost savings

One of the best financial benefits of switching to a bidet is the savings on toilet paper. Over time, you’ll find that you’re using much less, which can add up to huge savings.

For example, if a family of four usually goes through several rolls of toilet paper every week, switching to a bidet could reduce that consumption by half, or even more. Plus, you’ll be doing your part to reduce waste, making it a win-win.

  1. Eco-friendly benefits

Beyond reducing toilet paper usage, bidet toilets also contribute to water conservation. It might sound surprising, but using a bidet actually saves more water than the process of producing, transporting and disposing of toilet paper.

Plus, using less paper means less strain on waste systems and landfills, which helps reduce pollution overall.
