"Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves, vanity to what we would have others think of us."

What the Europeans Know About Toilet Hygiene That Americans Don't

To most continental Europeans, not having a bidet in their bathroom is unthinkable and even considered uncivilized. Maybe it’s time Americans put all this behind and concentrated on ways to promote the best hygiene in their bathrooms.

Here are some other potential reasons why Americans (and others) may not use a bidet in their bathrooms…

Too expensive…

Takes up too much space and difficult to install…

Impractical to use for both bowel and genital hygiene

Bidets have been around for over 250 years offering excellent personal hygiene. And the last 50 years have seen a revolution in their form and function.

So, why don’t bidets grace more American bathrooms?


This is a bit perplexing. But it may have something to do with simple social denial.

For people suffering from different kinds of bowel conditions, a bidet can also potentially offer some relief… by allowing you to avoid irritating toilet paper. Here are a few examples…

Crohn’s

Ulcerative colitis

Constipation

Hemorrhoids

Diarrhea

A bidet can potentially provide some relief from these conditions by helping you avoid the use of toilet paper.

If you ever been to any Asian country, you will find yourself with a useful bidet - a pipe hose attached in every bathroom.

Safe money, safe trees, be hygiene , practical and yet environmental friendly
