The United States uses over 3.2 million tons of toilet paper annually. 54 million trees per year are cut down to keep up with demand. In addition to deforestation, the production process itself is very destructive.

Restoring Confidence and Dignity

The personalized and easy-to-use controls of the bidet helps seniors retain independence with regard to a very personal and sensitive subject. Seniors who suffer from arthritis, incontinence or mobility problems now have an effective means of addressing their bathroom needs without relying on others. Both the feminine and posterior wash operate at the push of a button, providing seniors with control over their cleanliness.

More than 13 million people in the United States experience loss of bladder control, also known as urinary incontinence. It can happen to anyone, but is very common in older people. At least 1 in 10 people who are 65 or older experience this problem. Symptoms can range from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting.

Incontinence is uncomfortable and embarrassing. The bidet can help relieve those feelings by providing a quick and easy way to stay clean and fresh.

Helping Women Stay Clean, Every Step of the Way

The bidet leaves women feeling clean and rejuvenated. The warm water cleansing is especially helpful during the course of menstruation, and many women find its soothing properties can help alleviate the discomforts associated with constipation, yeast infections, and irritation. The bidet is particularly helpful during and after pregnancy to help soothe anal irritation, hemorrhoids and general discomfort. Many women also find the bidet to be a comfortable and hygienic way to clean themselves following intercourse.

Menstruation:

The bidet provides an effective and natural way to eliminate vaginal odor throughout the month, and it is particularly useful during a period. Menstrual flow is not simply blood; it also contains cervical and vaginal mucus and degenerated endometrial particles. When this fluid comes in contact with bacteria in the air, it begins to decompose and can become odoriferous. The gentle cleansing of the feminine wash rinses the area clean, removes any odor and helps to make what can be an uncomfortable time of the month a little more pleasant. In addition, the bidet and its dual wand system also serve to keep the rectal area clean.

Yeast Infections:

Yeast infections can cause itching, discharge and unpleasant odor. While the bidet can’t cure a yeast infection, it can provide soothing relief from the symptoms while treatment is being received from a gynecologist or over the counter medications.

Pregnancy:

The bidet is ideal for pregnant women for many reasons:

1. Hemorrhoids — Due to increased weight gain during pregnancy, women often develop hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoids are veins that swell and protrude around the anus. The symptoms are a painful burning sensation, itching, swelling and bleeding. Toilet paper often exacerbates hemorrhoid symptoms. The bidet’s warm water posterior wash and air dryer eliminate the need for abrasive toilet paper and keep the affected area clean and dry, providing comfort and relief from tenderness and irritation.

2. Lack of Mobility – The changing shape and increased weight gain during pregnancy can make it awkward and difficult for expecting mothers to thoroughly clean themselves. The bidet provides excellent cleansing in both the feminine and posterior area.

3. Cleanliness Before, During and after Delivery — Women need extra help with cleanliness during pregnancy. Before the baby comes, women can experience the loss of the plug of mucus, water breaking and loss of amniotic fluid. The gentle cleansing of the bidet provides comfort and relief.

There are also massive physical changes that occur during the first few weeks after giving birth which can be comforted by the bidet and its gentle warm water wash:

* Lochia – The term “lochia” is the bleeding that occurs as the uterus sheds its lining after the birth. This occurs whether the birth is vaginal or cesarean. While women have traditionally been told to expect their lochia to last for 10 to 14 days, recent studies have indicated that most women experience lochia for at least a month after the delivery, and many for as long as six weeks. This means exceptional feminine cleaning is needed during this time, and bidet delivers that even when you’re sleep deprived or holding a baby with one arm.

* Perineum – The perineum may have swelling, bruising, or other complications that can be soothed by the bidet.

* Urinary tract – The doctor will want to ensure that there aren’t any delivery-related bladder problems caused by trauma to the area during the delivery, the effects of certain anesthetics, and so on. The bidet delivers unparalleled hygiene for urinary clean-up.

Even potty-trained children have difficulty properly cleaning themselves after using the toilet. The hygienic cleansing offered by the bidet helps kids clean themselves more thoroughly and promotes awareness of the benefits of cleanliness.

The soothing warm water of the bidet’s posterior wash helps relieve discomfort associated with constipation and hemorrhoids and provides men with a means for improving their anal hygiene. The warm air dryer and comfy, heated seat make time spent on the “throne” all the more enjoyable!

Loss of mobility, both temporary and permanent, can be painful, frustrating and often times make it difficult to perform everyday functions that were once very easy, such as going to the bathroom. Partial or total mobility loss may result from conditions such as arthritis, broken bones, Dupuytren’s disease and hernia and rectal surgery. Over 70 million Americans have some form of arthritis or joint inflammation, often translating to a serious debility. In addition, Dupuytren’s disease, an abnormal thickening of tissue beneath the skin in the palm of the hand, may eventually limit movement.

The bidet allows people suffering from conditions such as these to regain the comfort and dignity of using the toilet by themselves.

Benefits for Hemorrhoid Sufferers

Hemorrhoids are veins that swell and protrude around the anus. The symptoms may include a painful burning sensation, itching, swelling and even bleeding. As many as 10 million Americans suffer from hemorrhoids; most of them between the ages of 45 and 65, but over half the population will experience them at some point in their lives. The good news is you can now find hemorrhoid relief without resorting to surgery!

The bidet eliminates the need for abrasive toilet paper when using the toilet. The warm water jet and warm air dryer clean and dry the user, providing great relief from symptoms such as tenderness and irritation. Whereas sufferers with traditional toilets often dread going to the bathroom and try to wait as long as possible (causing further complications), bidet owners may actually look forward to using the toilet because it is a pleasant, soothing experience.

Relief for Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Incontinence

Skin care is very important for incontinent patients and those with IBS; however, cleaning with toilet paper or soap can dry and irritate anal tissue. The bidet allows multiple washings without the increased skin abrasion and irritation caused by other methods.

Help for the Discomfort of Crohn’s Disease

Crohn’s disease causes inflammation and irritation in various parts on the gastrointestinal tract. With this condition can come a frequent need to use the toilet. The bidet allows complete and gentle cleansing after each bowel movement without harsh, abrasive toilet paper.
