POLL: To bidet or not to bidet?

Emmeline Westin

For some, a bathroom isn't complete without a bidet, but for others it's not even on their radar. Which camp are you in?

    Pretty useful for a last minute leg shave just as you are about to go to work and realise you look like a bristlehound! Excellent for the elderly but really convenient if you need a freshen up without jumping into a shower -saves water too, in this respect.

      Bidets have never been a British thing really anyway. However the influence of Europe in Bathroom design has lead to a surge in bidet/toilet sales. One of our recent projects features a Villeroy & Boch Viclean bidet toilet. We think that this solution will become ever more popular as time goes on.

      Many British bathrooms are far to small to install a bidet and you don't miss what you've never had . We have a bidet in our bathroom and would not like to be without it .

      If there is enough room to install one, it's definitely worth it. If not, there are smart toilet seats with built-up washing system or you may at least go for a hygienic shower.

      A great alternative is to have a hand held bidet spray. They connect onto the toilet water supply and take next to no space and work perfectly.

      Yes the bidet spray works really well especially in warmer climes, but when the water is cold it is not a pleasant experience! I would love to find one that has a hot/cold water mixer incorporated.

      Hi Dee Weera, there are quite a few options like that, have a look at GRB mixers Intimixer. They do a progressive mix model and also a thermostatic option all in one.

      Yuk!! What's wrong with having a shower and washing properly? No, no, no to bidets - they lead to unhygienic habits. Appreciate though that old people may not be able to shower or bath easily every day so a bumwash toilet would be a better option.

      Could also be an excellent foot bath!

      Yes! We just moved into a house with a bidet, and the dog just ADORES drinking from it.

      Bidets are REALLY unhygienic. They were popular in France; you especially found them in hotels! But this was before the advent of the shower.

      The combination loo/bidet is great. Can they be wall hung?

      I've always had one in every house my parents lived in, but no-one has ever used it. Popular in France, but pretty pointless in the UK where showering is more a daily than a weekly activity.

      They can be wall hanged and so can the toilet bowl, much cleaner all together but needs strong walls

      Well, they are rather French, aren't they?

      Sadly I have no room for one but I love them. As I suffer from psoriasis and live in a very hard water area showering is out of the question at the moment (for some reason it makes me itch insanely) and even bathing every day is problematic. Having a bidet would be a Godsend and yes I would also use it to wash my feet :D

      Not much use for them nowadays as its easier just to pop into the shower for a freshen up.

    • Simon Kelly

      Its a must have. Sure you can shower but all your lower half gets wet where as you can hop on after using the toilet, freshen up with minimal drying and just as clean.

      To those saying they're unhygienic, please note that you use them in addition to the usual cleaning routine not instead of it. Its a definite must have from me I wouldn't want to move to house that didn't have one!

      I totally agree with broaduser. Bidets are meant for additional washing, NOT instead of a shower or bath, so those people who say they are unhygienic are totally off the mark! Explain to me how washing your privates at any time can be unhygienic! Personally I prefer a 'Muslim shower' or handheld shower to do the job, but failing that a bidet is definitely a close second.

      Ours came with the house but is not used. I don't see why not, in addition to showering, of course! I do see them as more of a European (well, French) feature though.

      No bidet's for us, particularly when the room contains a relatively large shower, We like to then use a 2 outlet shower valve which can control a handheld shower situated at waste height in the enclosure. As others have said, the European market has moved away from bidets, with the new craze being toilet seats with the technology to wash and dry. We have supplied both the Geberit and Duravit versions over the last 12 months with great feedback.

      We have seen a rise in toilets with a hand held hose next to the toilet - here are a couple examples we have recently installed for our clients.
