Comments on: How to Use a Bidet

on 2/22/2009 ...continued from previous comment: After using it a couple of times, you learn to fine-tune the operation easily. To wipe the area squeaky clean, you may use your hand, assuming you soap-wash your hands before exiting the bathroom. Finally, you use toilet paper to wipe your bottom dry, and see that there is no soiling. Here is the only depiction of the device I could find on the web: http://tinyurl.com/cblf5s (A pdf page of installation instructions will open within the browser.) Examine the last 2 pages in the 4-page pdf file.

on 2/22/2009 Of course, the simple idea is that, rather than dry-wiping your bottom, water is essential in toilet hygiene. And while bidet is useful and fine, it takes up space in the bathroom. In Turkey, a built-in faucet at the back of the toilet's oval sitting-piece, just beneath the seat, with a separate valve on the wall functions just the same, and is a standard feature in all toilets sold in the country without exception. One minor drawback is that it is a single-valve system squirting only cold water, rather than a dual hot-cold adjustable water outlet common in bidets. In recent years, water squirting pieces with adjustable water temperature are being shipped to much relief. As for usage, after you're finished with your number two, you reach back to the wall while seated to turn on the valve and water is targeted to your bottom.

on 2/8/2009 I didn't know much about a BIDET. I could not even pronounced it. I found out it's a french word. But you see, bidet is a hygienic device. I did not know that I do not have to use a toilet paper to clean or wipe myself off. That for me is not hygienic but that's what we common people do till I found out about a bidet through a friend of mine. When I visited her at her house, I saw this bidet on her toilet and asked her what that was. So, she gave me a bit of information about it and did my own research online. Now, I got one and just love it. Mine is not pricey but cleans me really good. It's a sanicare bidet brand version 1000. Their site is www.sanicare.com

on 7/5/2008 I've been hearing about this wave of bidet thing for a while, and I was thinking "what are they talking about?!, what's wrong with toilet papers now!". But, not until I decided to go and try it and find out by my self; I didn't want to spend much on something new so I did a quick web search and got one from http://www.simplebidet.com, it looked affordable, quite simple to install and operate, and looks good fitting my current toilet. Now I gotta tell you... I really got addicted to it, I don't think I can use any toilet without a bidet now; it's extremely convenient and make you feel refreshed any time you may think you need to use the toilet.

If you're saying to yourself what I used to say, you may need to do what I have done!

on 6/1/2008 I totally agree with you bidet is getting more and more popular nowadays in U.S.

The first time I ever tried bidet was from my trip to Korea. All suites had a electric bidet seat installed. I simply fell in love with it in my first experience and first thing I did when I return home was "googling" try to find reliable bidet seat. I was surprized that there were more companies selling bidet in U.S than I ever expected. I ran across UCI site selling bio bidet. Their site offers pretty well organized informaiton and comparison charts made easier which model to choose and I chose BB-1000 top of the line bidet they offer. It had all the functions competitors offer and what really caught my attention was enema function. Using it for nearly a year now, I am very pleased about the product and can't imagine myself living without one.

I take protable bidet whenever I travel now. I highly r

on 5/30/2008 I totally agree with you bidet is getting more and more popular nowadays in U.S. The first time I ever tried bidet was from my trip to Korea. All suite had a electric bidet installed there as well as Japan. I simply fell in love with it and first thing I did when I returned home was "googling" try to find reputable company selling bidet in U.S. I found UCI selling bio bidet brand and they convinced me on BB-1000 that had all bells and whisles yet pretty competitive price on. They claimed that BB-1000 is the only bidet seat with true enema funtion and man I am loving it. I take portable bidet whenever I travel nowadays. Site I found my BB-1000 was www.biobidet.com

on 4/13/2008 Not all bidets replace your entire toilet seat nor do they take up any extra floor space. Royal Fresh Bidet is compact and fits between your toilet seat and rim. Check it out at: bidetinternational.com

on 12/16/2007 First of all, I want to thank everyone for their contribution. You are the first that I found that explains it clearly and in detail. Everyone else was too vague or wanted to make a joke of it.

However, here is my problem. Your explanation here is excellent in describing a bidet that shoots the water up vertically from the basin. That I understand. The angle will allow the water to access either the anus or the genitals hands free. However, it is unclear to me how one uses a "deck mounted" bidet. By examining the angle of the water stream, it does not look like the stream would directly hit the anus. One can comapare the different models here:

You can see that the deck mounted model(the BT500A) will not provide a vertical stream directly to the anus.

So how is it used?

on 4/12/2008 Nowadays there are more steps involved with using a modern bidet. The most popular type of bidet today is an electric bidet toilet seat attachment. These COCO bidets simply replace the toilet seat of your exsitng toilet turning your toilet into a bidet. These electric bidets allow the user to adjust the pressure and temperature of the water simply by pressing a button. These bidets also known as a COCO bidet have oscillating water to widen the cleansing area since we are not all built the same. Also these bidets now are made of an antibacterial material. Finally these bidets come with an air dryer to help make the need of toilet paper unecessary. This is nice for people who are suffering from hemorrhoids. I ran across this product at http://www.biolifetechnologies.com

on 2/17/2007 When you are used to using a bidet at home, how do you wash yourself when not at home? I have a bidet in my home (the expensive neorest 600 bidet). I got used to it but when I travel or not at home, I use a sanicare travel bidet. It's portable & battery operated. All you have to do is put water in a water reservoir and it's ready to use after your toilet/bathroom use. It's very handy. It comes with a bag. You can carry it with your bag or your shaving kit.

on 11/22/2005 1. When you are finished defecating, wipe your anal opening one time in the usual manner, throwing the toilet tissue in the toilet. This prevents excessive feces from being washed off into the bidet.
2. Turn the hot water on in the bidet and open the spray valve until the water is spraying about six to eight inches high. When the water feels hot to the hand, adjust the cold water valve until the spray is comfortable, being careful not to let the spray column exceed over a foot in height.
3. Straddle the bidet, sitting on the rim and align the anal opening with the column of spray water. Gradually open the spray valve until adequate pressure is achieved to flush the remaining feces from the anus.
4. Go back to the toilet and check with toilet tissue to make sure that the anus is clean.

This may take some trial and error to perfect. Be careful adjusting the spray column to avoid scalding the anus. Some bidets recommend that cold water only be connected to the bidet for people over 60 years of age.

For females only: The bidet is an excellent utility for cleaning up the female genitalia after intercourse.
The procedure is the same, except no toilet tissue is needed.

Bidets are sometimes mounted in various positions and may have limited room around them, requiring different facing positions. Either facing forward or backward works efficiently. If the valves are behind, it requires reaching behind the back to adjust them.
