The toilet is a fantastic invention, it makes our households wonderfully hygienic. Nowadays we can also use the latest of plumbing technology to reduce the amount of water being used through dual flush toilets, and we can also use old technology like bidets to improve even further the hygienic qualities of our toilets. Although the bidet isn?t yet popular throughout the States, it is very popular and a standard fixture in many countries around the world.

The bidet has existed for a very long while. Marc-Antoine Jacoud is commonly referred to as the person who created it. The bidet seems to have come out of the work of furniture creators in France during the seventeenth century. No definitive date, however, is known. There was one furniture creator who worked for the Royal Family, one Des Rosiers, who may have been the real inventor. It is hard to know for sure as written accounts only begin in 1710. By the nineteen hundreds, due to advancements in plumbing, the bidet became a bathroom rather than a bedroom fixture. In 1960, the bidet became electronic, complete with an attachment which would expand on a regular toilet.

It works quite simply by sending a soothing jet of water to clean you after using the toilet. You can find it both separate or attached to the toilet in Europe. Although it seems strange to first timers, it is easier and cleanlier than toilet paper. Technology is reaching the point where toilet paper will be obsolete.

You can select from a spectrum of features and styles. Be advised that bidets are key style features for bathrooms in some of the most upscale places in the world. In fact, in some countries, you'll find bidets are available in public bathrooms. And to add to your new pleasure of using the toilet, you can have heated seats, pulsating streams, adjustable temperature streams and even built in dryers. And the toilets can come in pretty well any design or material you could want in your bathroom. These of course come at a cost, so it's worthwhile investigating the options that suit both your requirements and your budget.

If you still have your doubts you can purchase a bidet seat. You place the faucet onto the seat of the toilet, this prevents you from having to buy a new toilet. There are now a wide range of these seats so that you can have all the convenience of a bidet, without changing your toilet.

If you're still not convinced, then next time you're on a trip to Europe, instead of avoiding the bidet, give it a go and see what you think. It may alter your use of the john for all time!
