A bidet is a fixture for cleansing the exterior excretory organs after toilet use. What is the Feel Fresh Bidet™ N Wash Hygiene System? The Feel Fresh™ bidet is a toilet seat attachment that replaces a conventional toilet seat, and includes two bidet nozzles for cleaning both men and women. This innovative addition to your conventional toilet combines the sanitary function of a bidet, with the comfort of a heated water supply and heated seat. The Feel Fresh™ bidet offers exceptional value at a competitive price. The water pressure and the temperature (of the seat and the water) of each bidet nozzle are adjustable. Built-in thermostats and a memory system control the temperature and pressure precisely to prevent excessive heating or harm to you or the bidet. With lighted displays and soft-touch buttons placed just where the right hand falls, the control panel is elegantly simple to use – even at night. The bidet has two devices to prevent back-flow, so pressure leaks and water runoff problems are prevented. In addition, the durable plastic is germ-resistant, and the lid and seat are hydraulic for soft, quiet, closing and to prevent harm to you, the bidet, or the toilet basin. Is the bidet difficult to clean or maintain? The Feel Fresh™ bidet nozzles are fully retractable and self-cleaning, and the seat and lid are germ-resistant polymers, easy to clean with a damp cloth. Abrasives, benzenes, and acid or alkaline detergents are never necessary, and will scratch or discolor your bidet. There is no maintenance required on the Feel Fresh™ bidet. Is the Feel Fresh Bidet™ difficult to install? The Feel Fresh™ bidet is a simple three-step installation: attach to the toilet basin just like the old toilet seat; attach water line through our adapter (included); and plug in. Instructions are included with your bidet, and are also available in our website. Further plumbing assistance may be helpful, and installation can be done very quickly. Does the installation require tools or a plumber? Most owners install it themselves – it only requires simple hand tools. But for liability reasons we strongly recommend that you consult a professional plumber or electrician. Its really simple – loosen the two mounting bolts on your old toilet seat and remove it. Your Feel Fresh™ bidet  bolts into those same two mounting holes. Then we supply, in the box, a water line junction fitting that threads right in to the water line leading to your toilet water tank. The junction valve and connection hose are included with the Feel Fresh™ bidet . For electricity, you should plug it into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet. Many people dont have a socket near the toilet and they either run an extension cord or have a new GFCI outlet installed behind the toilet. Basic tools, such as a wrench, may be needed to remove your existing seat, and install the Feel Fresh bidet™ tubing. A plumber can be helpful, but is not necessary. Is an electrical outlet needed? It depends on your bathroom setup. An outlet is necessary within four feet of the unit (the length of the power cord). Your electrician can install an outlet, if one does not exist within four feet of the bidet. Is it dangerous to have water and electricity together? The Feel Fresh™ bidet takes every precaution to prevent risks. Our molded plastic does not conduct electricity, and a built-in ground protects users from the risks of electrical shock. The circuit board of the bidet is protected, and the casing is waterproof to prevent accidental water exposure (for example, during cleaning). What if I need to install the bidet in my next home? The Feel Fresh™ bidet can be easily removed without damage and installed exactly as the first time. But it may also enhance the attraction and resale value of a home for sale. Does the Feel Fresh™ bidet come complete to install? Yes. The Feel Fresh™ bidet comes complete, with the water supply adapter and line, and two bolts for connecting it to a toilet. There is nothing more to buy, ever. Do doctors recommend the use of bidets? Yes. Doctors recommend the bidet as a primary treatment for hemorrhoids, rashes, anal fissures and anorectal itching. Some physicians advise their female patients to wash their genitals with a bidet every time they change a feminine pad to maintain ideal cleanliness. Its also suggested for women recovering from childbirth, patients recovering from colon-rectal surgery and the disabled who, for whatever reason, can no longer wipe. How do I know if my bowl is round or elongated? Older or basic toilets are round – the inside of the toilet bowl is usually about 11 inches around. More modern or deluxe toilets have an elongated bowl that is about 2 inches longer than it is wide… its a noticeable difference. If youre still wondering, you can measure from the two mounting bolts at the seat hinge, to the very front of the toilet bowl. That measurement will be about 16 1/2 inches if the bowl is round, and 18 1/2 inches if your bowl is elongated. How does the Feel Fresh Bidet™ actually function? What actually happens? When you press the "cleanse" button, a wand, about the size and shape of a fat pencil (that was previously hidden under the seat) automatically extends, washes itself, and then sprays a carefully aimed aerated stream of water for a few seconds, or until you touch the "stop" button. Then the wand rinses itself off again, and it retracts, out of the way again.   Does anything touch me? No. The only thing that touches you is water ...nothing else.   How do I know when I am clean? The engineers have been perfecting the Feel Fresh™ bidet for years. They have plenty of research on exactly what it takes. If you have any doubts, you can always press the cleanse button again or check with toilet paper.   How does the dryer work? Very much like a gentle blow dryer for your hair. The time and temperature are adjustable for your convenience.   Can I flush the toilet "normally with a Feel Fresh™ bidet installed? Yes, although the water supply for the Washlet and the toilet tank is the same, there is plenty of water for both. You can use the Feel Fresh™ bidet and flush the toilet at the same time, without any problem whatsoever. BIDET IS.... Bidet ( bee-dáy) is a personal cleansing method utilizing a stream of water, which is more hygienic and beneficial to the use of toilet paper. The word bidet was first used in the 213th century to refer to the pet ponies kept by the French royalty. During the 1213th century the Europeans developed a porcelain cleaning device for contraceptive and purgative (cathartic) uses, which was called a bidet for its shape resembled those ponies. Over time, its use has evolved more into a personal cleansing method, paralleling the improved sanitation and the heightened sense of personal hygiene in the modern world. For several decades now, bidet has been a welcome addition to the bathroom culture of Europeans and Asians. WHO USES A BIDET.... Its use had initially been limited to a small faction of people mainly because it involved installing another toilet-resembling unit in the bathroom, which basically meant that space, plumbing, and most of all, the cost became the limiting factors in widespread use. The practice of using a bidet however, is now very much ubiquitous in Europe and Asia, which can partly be attributed to new product developments that eliminated such limiting factors. In the U.S., bidet is not yet common, and it has been receiving slow but warm reception. One may recall a humorous scene in the Hollywood movie "Dumb and Dumber" where a bidet was mistaken for a toilet by one of the not-so-bright main characters. But bathroom humor aside, bidet has long been implemented in many luxury hotels and many of the clients go on to installing them at home as well. HOW IT WORKS.... Our products are designed to be installed onto the existing toilet using a few tools. When the user is ready to finish up in the bathroom, a simple turn of the knob will initiate a stream of water. The stream can be controlled, and is aimed to cleanse the genito-anal region of the user while still remaining seated on the toilet. This is far thorough cleaning, making it more hygienic. It is also far superior over the conventional bidets because it does not require the additional space to install, but best of all, it allows the user to remain seated instead of having to move over to sit on the bidet after finishing on the toilet. It is intuitive that because of the anatomy of the area, using a dry toilet paper to clean is inevitably going to leave residues, leaving the area prone for bacterial growth and infections. As a testament of one of the benefits of water over the paper use, in cultures where water cleansing is traditionally the preferred practice, such as in Indonesia, Middle Eastern or South-West Asian countries, hemorrhoids are occur with much less frequency than others. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING BIDET.... Throughout history of ancient Asia, a way to healthful longevity was through addressing the three basic most physiologic needs of humans: adequate sleep, healthy diet and healthy, regular bowel/bladder habits. Though they are all essential, the last criterion is especially notable for us in the modern society because more and more of major illnesses in adults are being recognized as gastrointestinal and genito-urinary related. Hemorrhoids, constipation, gastrointestinal cancers, prostatitis, urinary tract infections, and gynecologic problems are all too commonly seen. As a medical doctor in Japan who specializes in healthy living and longevity, Dr. Morita Genzo believes that lot of the illnesses and infections may simply be prevented by the habit of cleansing the ano-gential (genito-anal) area with warm water after having bowel movements. It also aids in blood circulation and physiologic rhythm, contributing further to a healthier life-style. Check out these functions!

The install process requires nothing more than what you would find in a normal tool box and works with your existing system. Myth #2 : I will have to alter my plumbing to have a Bidet. The Bidets we offer work with your existing plumbing. There is no additional drilling or modifications that need to be made to your existing set up. In order to have the added features of the best bidet models, you will need an electric outlet to attach to the electrical unit in the bidet. Myth #3 : Isn't electricity and water a bad mixture. Yes, it is! We don't recommend you dry your hair while in the bathtub. The electrical unit of the Bidet is housed in a protective casing and the cord can and should be run far from any potential water sources. Myth #4 : Where it is made does not matter. Although true in some retail items, you definitely want to make sure that the Manufacturer has a good reputation for creating a quality product. All the bidets we carry come with a one to two year warranty and were selected due to their attention for craftsmanship. Myth #5 : Washing your face is more important than washing your privates. Proper cleaning of your sensitive intimate areas is more important than washing your face! When we don't wash our face, dirt, germs and other impurities that remain can cause minor skin problems. However, neglecting to properly care for your more personal areas can result in much more serious diseases. Myth #6 : It is too embarrassing having a Bidet! Bidets are popular all around the world outside of America. For decades other cultures have looked to Bidets to make sure they are fresh, clean, and hygienic in some very important areas. The person who learns from all is the wise one. Perhaps there is something important in having a Bidet. Try one, and we think you will agree. Five steps to get the right gear! Now that the myths have been properly dispatched, you can choose to follow these five steps and we promise you will find a truly great bidet. Japanese invented the bidet 50 years ago and now 80% of Japanese households have bidets. How could Bidets win such widespread acceptance? Millions of people usually adopt new trends because of a perceived benefit. Following this line of logic, Japanese style bidets must be well manufactured. Now, our one remaining mission is to find the best one for a reasonable price. Know nature of your need: Bidets have the following features, warm water, dryer, heated seat, massage function, two nozzles for women or one nozzle. Do you want gentle cleaning, deep cleaning, strong water pressure or gentle water spray and water temperate control? You need to determine your needs along all these lines to determine your Bidet criteria. Durability or temporary solution: If you need temporary cheap bidets,there are cheap bidets with just a hook up nozzle for existing toilets or some "made in China" solutions. If you need to get more quality for the purposes of more durability, you may need a bidet that can last more than 5-10 years. High quality Bidets can last for more than 10 years, so why not make the investment? Prioritize: Decide which styles and features mean the most to you. Rank them and use the top three or four features criteria to select products within your price range. Visit an online store and see a demonstration of the features in a showroom or in your local plumbing stores. Some bidets are displayed in plumbing stores. Our cardinal rule is "be patient"; the plumbing store might charge more than online stores to cover the actual costs of running and renting the store space. Take advantage of not being taxed because of online e-commerce. Research, research, research. Contact manufacturers for additional information on sizes, specifications, and other information. Study them closely, review tapes, talk to friends, and other experts. Be careful about impulse buying and non-durable electrical component units. These bidets contain electronic components and like all electronics, the may have issues in the future. For this reason, be sure to check out the warranty. Japanese Bidet Without a doubt, Japanese bidets can be one of the most critical and expensive consumer products for your home. The right bidet will help you relieve stress, hemorrhoid and constipation problems, while a poor quality bidet will have you gritting your teeth with more headaches after your initial purchase. The important issues to consider are comfort, durability, water pressure, product specification, color, features, quality, and warranty. The most important thing in buying bidet is having the right features and quality that suits you and your existing toilets. Most brands offers you product specifications and you should measure the specifications whether it is fitting to your toilet or not. Installation is not difficult. It is a matter of inserting one t-shape connector in between pipe connections underneath toilet tank. Electricity is easy to get in most American bathrooms if you use an extension cord. Most brands come with an installation manual and all necessary kits. A handy man could do the job alone but if that category does not apply; call a plumber in yellow pages. The job itself is inexpensive since it takes less than a half hour. Making Sense of Japanese bidets Selecting your bidet based on your need is a good norm for choosing your bidets. However, the bidet is not that cheap and you might want it to last more than your average consumer electronics. Here is a primer on selecting bidets. Cleansing power Were going to talk about some sensitive stuff. Bear with us. The cleansing feature is important for people suffering from hemorrhoids or suffering from constipation: the stronger the spray, the better. Some brands have massage while spraying water and this feature helps the cleansing process. Some brands were designed with weak water pressure and as a result do not fully cleanse causing hemorrhoids or aggravating pre-existing conditions. Massage Function or Two Nozzles? Some brands offer a choice of two warm water jets: one for general use and one designed for feminine hygiene. Nozzles retract while not in use. Two nozzles sound better than a one-nozzle bidet. It is better. The important question is to determine your actual usage. Nozzles designed for feminine hygiene sometimes do not reach their target, so the user must move their body leaning forward or backward. The same thing happens for general use nozzle. This is due to the personal difference in body shapes or sizes. Some companies offer you a massage function nozzle that moves back and forth automatically. It is one nozzle. We have found that consumers that have experienced the bidet say that a massaging nozzle that sprays multiple points is better than just two fixed spots by two nozzles. The plain truth is that the massage function feels good and cleanses better. To Dry or Not to Dry, that is the question? For a handicapped person or people who suffer from obesity, it is necessary to have a dryer. But believe it or not most users give up on using the drying function since it involves sitting and waiting for a while. It does not hurt to have a dryer but it is not as magical as one might think. Heated Seat: The seat has an optional heating function that maintains the temperature of your choice. This feature is great for chilly mornings in wintertime. This feature is a favorite for early adopters and many experts on bidets prefer this feature to all others. Deodorizer: Is definitely a good feature to have, but the cost is not cheap. The prices range that is more than $650 for the unit with a deodorizer and the purchaser must change filters regularly. The deodorizing unit requires special maintenance. If it is not serviced properly its function can be adversely affected. The Maxims for the Perfect Purchase How can I have the perfect bidet? The answer to this question truly depends on your need. Features involving deep cleansing and massage are important since these features allow the bidet to carry out its most essential purpose, cleaning. We have found that other gadgets such as an anti-slam lid or self-cleaning are not as important as cleansing capability and power. Be sure to check out the durability of the electronic components since these components can break down. So our advice is check your warranty! Checklist Finally we have compiled a checklist for you to make sure you are getting the most for your money. Think about quality. You do not want to spend $300- $1000 for junkyelectronic parts that will burn out the circuit board in a month. Some brands from China, Malaysia, Singapore, Mexico, and Taiwan have a reputation for burning out more easily. Many outlets for bidets admit that brand new bidets are sold to customers with preexisting problems with the electronic or mechanical components. Quality is important. Find the right retail outlet. Some retail outlets can help you choose your bidet but remember that Internet dealers do not have to charge tax. Some Internet retailers also offer free shipping. If you are not sure, buy the brand with the best warranty. You might need service after 1 year, so a longer warranty can be important. Confer with the Sales Representative and judge their customer service skills. You do not want to deal with dishonest or unethical people for expensive retail items that might require additional servicing. So choose an ethical company with a good customer service philosophy and honest business practices.
