Bidet Experience

When I first began considering a bidet, my main deterrent was my perception that bidets were cold and unpleasant. After doing some research, however, I found that bidet technology has come a long way in recent years. There are now convenient models that attach to your toilet and require virtually no maintenance.

As to the issue of cold water, most units even have adjustable water temperature and pressure to ensure a custom wash. I was even able to find a luxury model that had a heated bidet  seat and dryer as well. Now that I’ve been using a bidet for two months, I can’t believe that I waited so long.

Without prevarication, Americans are behind the curve when it comes to posterior washing. Many countries throughout the world have dismissed the archaic use of toilet paper generations ago. For myriad reasons, however, Americans have been slow to adopt the environmentally friendly and more hygienic alternative of bidets.

The old excuse was that bidets took up too much space in a modern American bathroom, but thanks to bidet toilet seats, that is no longer an issue. A bidet toilet seat easily attaches to your toilet and allows you to get a refreshing posterior wash without an entire extra unit. Now there is no excuse not to make the switch and start saving trees and money.

The Swash 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 Swash’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 Swash’s dual wand system 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 Swash provides comfort and relief.

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 Swash 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), Swash owners may actually look forward to using the toilet because it is a pleasant, soothing experience.

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

There are also massive physical changes that occur during the first few weeks after giving birth which can be comforted by the Swash 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 Swash 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 Swash.

* 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 Swash delivers unparalled hygiene for urinary clean-up.
