From Smear to Clear: How Bidets Redefine Hygiene

Bidet attachments, such as our Fanny and Fanny Hotshot bidets are perhaps the most misunderstood bathroom upgrade of modern times. For many, the idea of using a bidet sparks questions like, “Isn’t it just a water cannon for your butt?” or, “Wait, does water really make things cleaner down there?” Well, bidet aficionados or soon-to-be aficionados, it’s time to wash away your doubts because bidet attachments aren’t just the pinnacle of cleanliness, they’re a life-changing, tush-loving, eco-friendly miracle. And yes, they are extremely sanitary!

1. Water: Nature’s Original Cleaning Solution

Let’s start with the basics: do you wash your hands with dry paper after eating buffalo wings? No, you use soap and water! The same logic applies to your butt. Bidet attachments use a targeted stream of clean water to gently clean your undercarriage. In contrast, toilet paper can sometimes feel like you're smearing rather than wiping. Water, on the other hand, rinses it all away, no smudging, no leftover bits, just pure cleanliness.

2. Hands-Free Hygiene: Your Hands Stay Clean (And So Does Everything Else)

Using toilet paper is essentially a hands-on operation. No matter how much toilet paper you fold into a shield, there's always the chance of a “whoops” moment. Yeah, you all know what we are talking about, your finger poking through the toilet paper. With a bidet attachment, you’re operating completely hands-free. It’s like a car wash for your butt and lady parts for the ladies. Just sit there, turn the knob on your Fanny Bidet, and let the water do the heavy lifting. Plus, it keeps you from awkward post-wipe finger inspections. (Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about.)

3. Toilet Paper Is So Last Century

Toilet paper has had a good run, but it’s time to let water take the throne, literally. Not only is toilet paper a sub-par cleaning tool, but it also leaves tiny particles of well, let’s just say debris, lingering around. Even after several passes, you’re often left with toilet paper residue. Bidets? No residue, no paper trail, no mess. It’s like the difference between wiping mud off a windshield with a dry towel versus rinsing it off with a power washer. And we all know who wins that contest.

4. It’s Like a Shower for Your Bottom

If you’ve ever been caught in a sweaty situation on a hot day, you know the relief a quick shower can bring. Now imagine that feeling but for your butt! A Fanny Bidet provides a refreshing spray of cool or warm water that cleans thoroughly and leaves you feeling like you just left a spa treatment. It's as nice and luxurious as it sounds.

5. No Cross-Contamination: The Water Is Always Fresh

One common misconception is that bidet attachments somehow recycle water from the toilet bowl. Yikes! Rest assured, that is not the case. The water used by a bidet attachment comes directly from the clean water supply, just like your sink or shower. So, unless you think your faucet is unsanitary, there’s no need to worry about bidets. Fresh, pristine water every time!

6. Gentler on Your Skin: Goodbye Chafing, Hello Comfort

If you’ve ever overdone it with rough toilet paper, you know the pain of chafing. It’s a level of discomfort no one deserves. A Fanny Bidet, on the other hand, is as gentle as a soft breeze. They reduce the friction caused by wiping, which is great news for anyone with sensitive skin or those who’ve had a little too much spicy food. It’s like switching from sandpaper to silk sheets for your butt.

7. Doctors Agree: Bidets Are Healthier

Many doctors recommend bidets for people with hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, or other medical conditions that make wiping uncomfortable or difficult. Water is gentler and more effective, and it reduces the risk of irritation, infection, or injury that can come from harsh wiping. So, not only is it sanitary, but it’s also doctor-approved. Your bidet just got its medical degree.

8. No More Clogged Toilets: The Hidden Sanitation Perk

Let’s not forget the horrors of a clogged toilet, especially when you are visiting someone else’s house. Not only is it inconvenient, but it’s also incredibly unsanitary. With a bidet, you use significantly less toilet paper or in many cases, none at all, so there’s no risk of creating a toilet paper mountain that leads to a plumbing disaster. Less toilet paper = less clogging = less plunging. Your bathroom plunger is about to collect dust.

9. Eco-Friendly: Clean for You, Clean for the Planet

Using a Fanny Bidet doesn’t just clean your backside it also helps clean up the planet. The average person uses 140 rolls of toilet paper per year, contributing to deforestation and water waste (because making toilet paper actually uses a lot of water). By switching to a bidet, you cut down on paper usage dramatically. It takes about 37 gallons of water to make one roll of toilet paper. The average bidet will use less than 5 gallons of water in an entire year. So, while your tush stays sparkling clean, so does Mother Earth.

10. The Social Benefit: Bidet Users Are Smug but in a Good Way

Let’s be real, there’s a certain smugness that comes with using a bidet. It’s a bit like being the person who always brings reusable bags to the grocery store or the one who effortlessly switches to a plant-based diet. “Oh, you still use toilet paper? That’s cute,” you’ll say, as you bask in the knowledge that your bathroom routine is superior, more eco-friendly, and way cleaner. It’s a smugness you earn.

The Bottom Line

Bidet attachments are, without question, a much more hygienic and eco-friendly way to handle your bathroom business. Once you make the switch, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without one. Whether it’s the superior cleaning power, the eco-friendly benefits, or the sheer comfort, Fanny Bidets are the best tool to get the cleaning job done in the most hygienic way possible. So, if you’re still skeptical, it’s time to dive into the refreshing, ultra-clean world of bidet life. Your butt will thank you!
