A bidet is designed to clean your private parts for any reason, most commonly after a bowel movement. Think of it as a mini shower.

Think about it this way - when your hands are dirty, do you wipe them with dry paper or do you wash them with water? Water is much more sanitary than wiping because you will be washing the unwanted material away instead of smearing it around.

Our bidets start at $49, and can reach many thousands of dollars. If you're wondering what the difference between the two is, there are many.

While a barebones bidet will have a front and rear ambient (cold) temperature wash only, a full featured electric bidet seat will have a warm water wash, warm air dry, heated seat, adjustable nozzles, customizable wash settings, clean itself, flush the toilet automatically, and will even greet you!

Many of our bidets are part of a kit with a toilet which is convenient if you are remodeling your bathroom, however you can purchase a bidet seat or attachment to replace or fit under the seat on your existing toilet.

The medically recommended way to clean your personal areas is warm water only. While you may use soap in the shower, our bidets can provide a warm wash of gently aerated water, which delivers a more effective cleansing than toilet paper alone. You will feel significantly cleaner, refreshed, and never go back to wiping alone, which is why we offer risk free trials on some of our bidets.

Absolutely not! Your bidet is a directed, gentle stream of water that cleanses you. If your model permits, you will be able to adjust both the position and pressure of the nozzle. Since the action occurs in your toilet, everything stays in the bowl. Cleaning your bidet is not much more complicated than a classic toilet, and some clean themselves automatically. Every bidet we sell includes detailed cleaning instructions.

Bidets are not just for women. Although a bidet is effective for feminine hygiene, it is also very hygienic for men to use along with or in place of toilet paper. Bidets are ideal for anyone who goes number two! Regular use of a bidet provides a hygienic clean for all your private parts. 

Modern bidets take up no more space than your toilet seat, because they are integrated into a toilet seat. Whether you are buying a bidet toilet or a bidet seat, these solutions take up no more space than your existing setup. The only modification needed is an electric outlet which is needed if you elect for an electric bidet seat.

Our bidet toilet seats take no more than 30 minutes to install, and they come with all hardware needed for installation. If you are purchasing an electric bidet toilet seat, you will only need to plug in to a standard wall outlet and utilize the existing water connection for your toilet. You can certainly hire a plumber, but it is not required.

If you are purchasing a complete bidet toilet, you may want to hire a plumber as this is similar to installing a normal toilet. 

As discussed in our Bidet Buyers Guide, the average family of four spends over $400 on toilet paper per year! While the upfront investment in a bidet will likely rival this figure, you will be saving money by cutting down on toilet paper use drastically. The average person uses 75% less toilet paper with a bidet, and this number could be higher if your bidet also has a drying feature. You will also be saving trees and lessening the burden on our sewer systems by cutting down on paper. All of our brands are reputable and come with warranties, so you will enjoy your new bathroom experience for years to come. All the while, you will feel much cleaner!

If you have ever traveled abroad you have probably come into contact with a bidet, even in third world countries. The United States is an exception where bidets are uncommon, and this is all the more odd when you consider how valued outward appearance is. Many decide to neglect the most intimate and important parts of our bodies. While your first experience with a bidet may be eye-opening, you will soon wonder why you spent so many years only wiping with paper, and you will look forward to your mini shower every day!
