Modern-day bidet toilet seats and bidet attachments can sport all kinds of features, from temperature control to nightlights. But what powers all that tech? Do bidet toilets need electricity?
A basic bidet attachment is a good example of a bidet that is typically mechanically powered without the use of electricity, even the kind that has temperature control.
However, bidets with more features typically do require electricity. A multi-functional bidet toilet seat , for example, uses electricity for features like remote-controlled access and heating the seat. Most bathrooms have at least one outlet, and an electric-powered bidet will come with a cord to plug into the wall. That is to say: if you need to clean your front, it might be easier to face the jets. If you're cleaning your rear, try facing away from the stream.
Activate a toilet seat bidet. You may also find the button on the toilet itself. A nozzle will appear beneath you and rinse your nether regions with a stream of water. The nozzle will rinse itself off and retract back into the seat. In mechanically controlled add-on bidets, you just turn the lever or pull a string and turn the mains valve.
Part 2. Adjust the temperature and jet strengths for comfort. If the bidet has both hot and cold water controls, start by turning on the hot water. Be very careful when turning on the water, as many bidets can produce a very high jet of water with only a slight turn of the control. You may find that you need to hold the control to keep the jets on. In normally hot climates, such as the Middle East, you should start with the cold water. The water will not need time to heat up, and you may end up burning sensitive areas if you turn the hot water on first.
Be sure that you know where the water nozzle is, or you could end up with a surprise shower. If your bidet does have a spray nozzle set in the bowl unlikely in the UK due to regulations , place your hand above it to subdue any jet of water and then either press or pull the diverter lever between or immediately behind the taps. Position yourself. Sit or squat over the stream so that the water hits the area you need to clean.
You can continue to hover above the bidet, or you can sit down on it. Note that most bidets don't have seats, but are still meant to be sat upon; you just sit directly on the rim. Some bidets do not have jets: they simply have a faucet that fills the basin, much as you would fill a sink basin.
In this latter case, you'll need to use your hands to manually clean yourself. On those bidet types, as the water jet is very thin, you don't usually feel the water temperature. Of course, in some cases you can use warm water, taking the water from the bath's supply.
If you're using a bidet with a jet, then you can mostly let the force of the water do its work. If you're using a basin, then you'll need to get your hands dirty. Either way, you might consider using your wet hands to "scrub" the area clean more quickly. You can always wash your hands afterwards! Consider combining the bidet with toilet paper. You can use the paper at the end, to finish the job, or you can dampen the toilet paper in the water and use it to wipe yourself clean.
Part 3. Dry your skin. Some bidets have a built-in air dryer that you can use. If there's no air dryer, simply pat yourself dry with toilet paper. Many bidets have a towel on a ring positioned next to the bidet. This is meant for drying the genitals or the hands, but sometimes it is used for mopping up any splashes around the rim after rinsing it.
Rinse out the bidet. Once you are off the bidet, run the jets at very low pressure for a few seconds to rinse the basin and keep the bidet fresh. This is a matter of discretion and common courtesy.
If you run the stream, you'll waste water. Wash your hands. Use soap and water, as you would any time after using the toilet. If you can't find soap, use whatever's available. Use some toilet paper to pat yourself dry, or use a napkin to towel yourself dry and to prevent water from trickling down your legs.
Not Helpful 41 Helpful When wiping off with the toilet paper, is the toilet paper discarded in the toilet or the bidet? Paper should be discarded in the toilet. Bidets are for liquids only. Note that some toilets, such as those that are part of a private septic system versus public sewer may want to avoid flushing paper; a posted notice near the toilet will usually specify this. In that case, the used paper goes into a disposal basket next to the toilet.
Not Helpful 30 Helpful Of course! Anyone can use a bidet regardless of gender or age. Not Helpful 95 Helpful Absolutely not. Bidets are riddled with germs and bacteria. Do not bathe a baby in a toilet. Not Helpful 80 Helpful Just take the amount of time necessary to fully clean yourself and the bidet as well. Not Helpful 25 Helpful Not Helpful 29 Helpful How tall do you have to be to use a bidet?
I'm quite short and am afraid I'll fall in. I'm a really short teen, and I've used one before. You won't fall in unless someone pushes you or you slip.
