Ask Amy – Bidet Party

We found an interesting article while searching for bidet news about a woman who thinks it’s “tasteless” for a neighbor of hers to throw a “bidet party” after her bathroom renovation is complete.  She goes on about how she assumes her neighbor is trying to be funny with the invitation, and she wants to know what she should do.

Bidets For More Than Just Cleaning

Modern premium bidets do more than simple cleaning, with features sometimes crossing over to the realm of the odd.

When I go to Japan, for instance, I regularly come across bidets that play music, in case you want to have a soundtrack playing in the background while you’re relieving yourself.  From pictures, I’ve seen bidets targeted towards senior citizens that come with a blood pressure monitor or some other medical contraption.  Personally, I’d like a bidet with a TV built-in – I just don’t know how they’ll arrange for it.

If you’ve ever considered getting a premium bidet, realize that many of them will come with a large suite of functions that can turn bathroom use into a pleasurable experience.  Heated seats, for instance, can totally warm you up on a chilly day while a massaging feature can bring a relaxing massage to extremely tired thighs.  Imagine that while reading your favorite magazine on a cold Sunday morning.

Some bidets, in fact, can be too comfortable in their functions that you’ll probably end up staying in the washroom longer than you should be doing.  Think of a premium bidet the way a luxurious tub can change the way you bathe.  Instead of hitting the shower and stepping out in a few minutes, you can end lounging in the tub’s caressing water for hours on end.  Premium bidets, with all the conveniences they afford, can feel the same way – a glorious bathroom luxury for you to enjoy.

Toilet Seat Bidets: No Longer Just A Japanese Oddity

Toilet seat bidets used to be such a Japanese oddity – just another one of those nifty things them quirky Nippons seem to have an unlimited supply of.  Ask any Westerner who has visited Japan about their trip and tales of high-tech electronic bidets will be among the stories you will hear about.   Like Anime and sexy character cosplay, however, they’ve now made their way out of Japanese shores and into the world at large.

The First Toilet Seat Bidets

The first high-tech toilet to make it big in Japan was the Washlet G Series from Toto.  Because of the product name of the original, further bidets that offered a similar functionality became known as washlets, as well.  Originally released in 1980, it created a new industry that has grown in ways no one would have imagined at the time.

Recent surveys indicate that over half of Japanese homes have one of these high-tech washlets installed.  It will probably take a while before the rest of the world catches up, but the number of folks adopting the new technology is ever-growing.

They’re Everywhere

Nowadays, you can buy Japanese-style bidets, often referred to as washlets, in many places in the US and around the world.  They’re also readily available online, in various makes, models and sizes.

Admittedly, there’s still a certain amount of stigma, a hesitation among people when it comes to using a bidet.  With wider use and positive reviews from folks who have personally experienced its benefits, however, that’s beginning to end.

Add-on Bidets

In this category of bidet, toilet seat bidets can convert any normal toilet into a shower toilet with a minimum investment and a small amount of plumbing and electrical work.  For most higher end toilet seat bidets to work, it’s necessary to hook it up to the cold water line that runs into your toilet and also to have an electrical outlet located near your toilet.  This category also includes handheld and portable bidets.

The Shower Toilet Bidet

The shower toilet is a combination of a toilet and a toilet seat bidet, all in one unit.  It was invented in 1957 by Hans Maurer of Switzerland.  He came up with the idea to combine the functionality of a bidet with a toilet, saving money and space as a result.  He called his invention the “Clos-o-Mat” which created an entirely new type of bidet, the shower toilet.
