The handheld bidet sprayer

This type of bidet is perhaps the most common one, probably due to it's ease of installation and lower price. It simply is a handheld sprayer with a long flexible hose that is usually hanged on the wall right next to the toilet or on the toilet itself. When done with your business you grab it and point it with the desired pressure to the right places.

Pros:

Lower Cost

Easier to install

Can be used for multiple other uses ( washing pet, floor, cleaning the toilet pan)

Doesn't change the shape of your toilet seat.

Cons:

Gets only one water source (so the water might be too cold if you live in cold places)

You will have to move your arm to grab it and point it to places.

The toilet seat fixed bidet

This type comes with one major advantage, and that being the ability to use both warm and cool water. And this makes it the perfect choice if you live in the colder parts of the country. It is usually installed under the seat and has a control unit from which you can choose the desired water temperature and pressure.

Pros

The ability to mix hot and cold water.

Has 3 settings : Posterior wash, Feminine wash and Nozzle cleaning

No need to move your arm to grab it.

Cons

More expensive.

Takes a bit more time to install

Changes the shape of your toilet seat.

Which one to get?

This is a matter of preference, Do you like to grab the sprayer in your hand and point it to the right places? or do you prefer to just stay still and push the button.

But keep in mind that if you live in colder regions it is better to have the ability to control the temperature.

We don't want to sound like we are giving you lessons in personal hygiene, but if you don't use a bidet to wash after doing no.2 then you are never clean! It's common sense that when something gets dirty you wash it, you never just dry wipe it with toilet paper! is that how you clean your dishes? your hands?

1. Cleanness.

So this is just a straightforward one, in order to be clean and feel fresh and confident you need to wash. You do not need to be convinced to clean yourself!

2. No more itching!!

When you are done with your business and you just go ahead and wipe with TP, alot of debris are going to remain stuck up there, which is irritant to your skin and that produces the urge to keep itching through out the day. One more thing is some people use wet wipes, those contains many irritants and allergens, guess what is not an allergen?? Water!

3. Alleviate the symptoms of anal conditions.

Many people during their lifetime develop anal conditions, such as anal fissure, hemorrhoids or an anal abscess. The most common home remedy prescribed to these patients is to do a Sitz bath multiple times a day. And here comes the role of the bidet, it makes the best sitz bath as it provides you with a constant running flow of water at the desired temperature and pressure.

4. Other uses inside the bathroom.

If you have the handheld sprayer type of bidet inside your bathroom, you can grab it to splash water into the toilet pan to clean it, or on the toilet floor to wash it, or perhaps bathe your dog.

5. Save money by using less TP.

By washing you are going to use less toilet paper, maybe just a couple ones to dry.
