Health & Hygiene

A bidet toilet seat offers a personal cleansing method utilizing a stream of warmed water to wash after toileting; this is more hygienic and beneficial than using toilet paper.
We all understand and appreciate that washing with water is the simplest and purest method of cleaning known to man.
It just seems so logical that a warm water wash is much gentler than toilet paper can ever be. The user knows immediately that the result is a fresh, clean feeling that can never be achieved with wiping with paper.


Health and Wellness for the whole family

Keeping all of the body’s orifices clean and clear of infection is important to maintaining health and wellbeing; particularly the rectal and vaginal openings. The anus has hundreds of sensitive nerves and very fine wrinkles. Even the gentlest toilet paper can't clean these delicate tissues effectively. Wiping with dry paper will certainly cause irritation and leave residue that with time, will cause bacterial growth (of the bad kind) which can cause infections. Rubbing with toilet paper only spreads these bacteria around the vaginal and rectal areas, causing contamination that could then lead to urinary tract infections, vaginal infections and infections around anal area if the skin is broken, especially when complicated by hemorrhoids. Continuing to irritate these extra sensitive areas with dry paper only increases the discomfort from itching and possibly bleeding of the affected areas, which can further lead to additional internal gynecological or colon problems. This, of course, doesn't happen to everyone nor does it happen over night, but it does happen to a large percentage of our population sometime in their life, causing significant pain and discomfort.

Turbo Wash (or enema function)

Our most popular electronic bidet seats, BioBidet, were the first to offer an enema wash function. This function should not be confused with a medical or therapeutic enema. There are no intrusive procedures; the BioBidet enema feature allows the user to have a more thorough rectal cleansing than a normal posterior wash. The enema function provides a painless, gentle stream of warm water directly through the rectum and into the lower colon. Once inside the lower colon, the warm water helps loosen and clean the walls of hard faeces which can then be evacuated into the toilet. This function would be of great assistance for anyone suffering constipation or diarrhea.

Household germ control

Using a bidet seat is hands-free cleaning and drying; this alone can significantly reduce or eliminate contamination in the home caused by the spreading of germs and bacteria from the bathroom via unwashed or improperly washed hands.

Germ control in the workplace

Industries such as hospitality, restaurants and food preparation, medical or other laboratories requiring sterile conditions, hospitals and assisted care facilities, or in fact any workplace preparing food or other products for human consumption or use, or where intimate contact between individuals is unavoidable; then the hands-free cleansing of a bidet seat is a first line of defense against the consequences of contamination, such as food poisoning, infection or disease.

Women

Many bidet seats feature a feminine wash function. Women will feel completely clean, refreshed and confident after using this; the gentle warm water spray can be adjusted for position and there are comfort settings to suit any woman's personal needs. Completely hands-free, the soothing warm and cleansing water is particularly beneficial after sexual intercourse and during menstruation. The feminine wash will also ease and help alleviate the discomforts felt during and after pregnancy; as well as rashes, constipation and the soreness and bleeding caused by diarrhea and haemmorhoids.

Men

Men will feel confident and personally secure, knowing they are completely clean and fresh. The relaxing, warm cleansing water and air dryer, allows a completely, hands-free experience. The warm water wash also helps relieve the discomforts of constipation, the embarrassment of rectal itching and the soreness from diarrhea and haemmorhoids.

Children

Bidet seats are gentle enough for children. In fact, toileting becomes fun for them; so much so that it’s difficult to get kids to ever use toilet paper again.
And don’t worry; australianbidet.com products are chosen for their robustness as well as their technology and quality. Proper supervision and training is, of course, necessary for children to develop good, personal hygiene habits so that they might grow and live their lives without many of the discomforts and health problems much of our modern society is living with today.

Carers will understand how this completely hands-free, personal hygiene toilet appliance, allows the senior to experience the refreshing and gentle affects of the warm water cleansing the genital and rectal areas in privacy. The warm air dryer means that there's no need for toilet paper or the embarrassment of requiring assistance from anyone else.

Disabled

Those people with limitations in body movement due to a handicap or disability will also feel their self confidence and personal dignity restored when they can use the toilet again without the need for assistance. The BioBidet remote control Supreme BB-1000 allows a totally hands-free toilet experience in complete privacy.
