Traditionally, every home had a bidet, but in recent years it has been disappearing little by little for no reason. Many remodeling companies claim that according to a survey, the main reason why people today do not install a bidet in their bathroom is for lack of space. Therefore, if you are doing or are planning to do a remodeling in your bathroom, today we will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of having a bidet, so you can make the right decision according to your needs and tastes.

Advantages of installing a bidet in your bathroom

As you may have guessed, the biggest advantage of having a bidet is the hygiene it provides to your private parts. It has been proven that cleaning with toilet paper is not as clean as using a bidet, as it is more hygienic to use water to remove any remaining dirt and sweat. In addition, with the bidet, you will have a unique feeling of cleanliness, much more refreshing and practical, and it is also more economical in the long run because you save a lot of money on toilet paper.

Another benefit of the bidet, besides being a beautiful decorative element is that it helps prevent infections in the intimate parts. When properly cleaned with water, it keeps the skin healthier and avoids problems such as irritation, and infections, among others. Besides, the bidet is an excellent tool to teach children how to use the toilet.

Disadvantages of the bidet

To be honest there are very few disadvantages and they may seem a bit irrelevant to deciding if having a bidet in your bathroom is a good idea or not. The biggest disadvantage people find for not installing a bidet is because they think it will take up too much space in the bathroom, and then it will end up being uncomfortable to use, but the reality is that the bidet takes up very little space in the bathroom.

Another disadvantage that we can find by having a bidet is that in many places people use it less and less, so over time, it may eventually cease to be useful. Apparently, without any reason, the habit of cleaning oneself with the bidet is slowly being lost. Many people choose to take showers when they go to the bathroom, which ends up being more expensive because it increases water consumption.

As you have read in this article, the benefits of the bidet outweigh the disadvantages. Besides, nowadays bidet designs are becoming more sophisticated, so you can find amazing models that will transform your bathroom decor.
