Unmissable in Italy, Portugal or Spain, it was no longer welcome among the French. Relooke to blend again in the water rooms, it is no longer shunned and even offers itself a place of choice.
While he had disappeared from radars in France for several decades already, this house equipment signed a remarkable return in certain houses which had abandoned him. For lack of space, it has gradually been replaced by less gourmet alternatives in space or more trendy. The evolution of hygiene habits has also put lead in the wing, not to mention the old-fashioned and overwhelmed image from which he suffers and the influence that Anglo-Saxon countries exert on us, regions where he has never been popular. However, this equipment finds a place of choice and could well revolutionize your daily life. Can you guess what it is?
Traditionally invited to the bathroom, it is mainly used for intimate hygiene since it allows you to clean itself after having gone to the toilet, in addition or replacement of hygienic paper. But it can also be very useful for cooling off, operating a quick washing of feet or legs after a hot day, as if to bathe baby safely. Also, it is not uncommon to wash underwear or clothes requiring hand washing. If it remains widely used in many of our European neighbors, it has been more rare in France over the years. But for some time, he returned in force, putting the Japanese toilet and hygienic shower on the touch, which had partially replaced it.
How to explain the return of the bidet to the French? Because there remains an interesting alternative to reduce the consumption of toilet paper and thus satisfy a growing interest in more ecological hygiene. A Frenchman uses an average of 100 rolls of toilet paper per year, which represents a significant ecological cost (deforestation, water and energy consumption for production). The Bidet would limit this impact by simply using water.
The influence of Japanese toilets also has its role to play. WCs with integrated water jets, very widespread in Japan, are attracting more and more in Europe. They offer the same comfort as a bidet, with a space gain. This success could promote a return of intimate hygiene equipment to our bathrooms. Also, with increasing concerns for hygiene (especially after the COVVI-19 pandemic), water washing is perceived as more effective than exclusive use of toilet paper. In addition, the bidet is recommended for some people with irritation or dermatological problems.
Now more design, it fits in style and it is therefore no coincidence that it gradually takes place in the water rooms. Do you throw your sights on it?
