Factors To Consider Before Buying Bidet Seats!
Bidet toilet seats are unique and offer huge health benefits with regular use. Ideal for anyone who is done with wiping and wasting toilet paper and wants to maintain good personal hygiene. If you’re planning to get one for yourself or your loved ones, we know it can get confusing for a first-time buyer. So keep these Factors To Consider Before Buying Bidet Seats!
Bidet toilet seats are gaining much-deserved popularity these days due to the huge health benefits and convenience they bring to our lives. The elderly, children and physically challenged individuals find bidet seats the most helpful.
Size matters:
Contrary to the popular narrative, size does matter when getting a bidet seat. It depends on the toilet you already have in your bathroom, can be elongated or round.
Choose the bidet shape accordingly and keep in mind that a standard bidet seat is almost 2-inches shorter than a regular residential toilet seat. You can also consult the brand’s fitment guide for a proper, comfortable seat.
Electric or non-electric:
Non-electric bidets are cheaper of course and get the job done. Electric ones have features they need electricity to run on, for instance, heated seats, water pressure settings, or nozzle settings are be controlled via a remote or control panel attached to the side. If you’re getting an electronic bidet, make sure you have an electrical outlet in your bathroom near your toilet. Extension cords can also be used, it’s better to figure out your bathroom’s electrical feasibility beforehand.
Heated water:
Expensive or inexpensive, always go for a bidet that has warm water output. Cold water can be a shocker for many people and as the whole purpose of the bidet is comfort and ease, getting a cold-water bidet would defy it all.
Self-cleaning nozzle:
An oscillating or pulsating nozzle can make your bathroom experience rather luxurious and convenient but it can be a hassle to rinse before or after every use. Get a bidet toilet seat that has an automatic self-cleaning nozzle which keeps the toilet bowl sanitary and your bathroom a lot more smell-free! Most of them also have an automatic deodorizer that makes sure your bathroom is not stinky and gross after every use.
Water pressure:
Depending on the number of people who would be using this seat, you need to consider the flexibility of operation and comfort.
Especially if a disabled person or elderly is using this seat they would like to adjust the pressure and temperature according to their liking. Make sure you invest in one that can give the liberty of choice to your loved ones.
Cost and budget:
Getting a bidet seat is no doubt a major investment that is going to be in use for years to come. Choosing the most decent bidet with the best of features, and preferably an electric one is going to last a long time.
Look for a durable, high-end material bidet because going cheap on this decision is not going to be in anyone’s favor, because its a one time investment, so invest it wisely.
