If something has shown the coronavirus crisis is that toilet paper is one of the most necessary items in the house. That, and that in general, we have stopped using the bidet in the houses.
The most common reform when facing a work in the bathroom is to replace the bathtub with a shower but after this, surely the most demanded change is to do without the bidet; essential piece in all bathrooms before changing the millennium, and now it is eliminated due to lack of space in the bathroom and we understand that it is used.
At the beginning of the confinement, compulsive and massive purchase of toilet paper in almost every country in the world it played a lot – in the form of memes – and remains a great mystery. Some saw an explanation for this phenomenon in that it was a hygiene-related and non-perishable good, (but it is not the only one) and others justified it by the so-called effect that occurs when the media focuses on that news. , and people join the car “just in case”.
Be that as it may, there were exceptions to this global phenomenon and some countries like Italy did not empty their toilet paper shelves. Italy, a Mediterranean country apparently very similar to Spain in customs and characters, sold out hand gels, flour and yeast en masse (in that order), but never toilet paper simply because they do make massive use of the bidet.
In Italy in fact, it is not explained that the bidet has a soo French name when in France -I add that like in Spain- the “four-piece bathroom” is getting scarcer.
But with this we don’t want to try to convince you to reinstall a bidet in your bathroom. We just want to publicize the alternatives so that water can be an option without the need to take away space from the bathroom.
Arab bath or bidet shower
Those who want to do without the bidet but do not want to do without its functions opt for this discreet but practical solution. It’s about putting a shower faucet on the wall next to the bidet, and even in the toilet tank itself.
Installation is very simple because the bathroom always has pipes. Now, the toilet does not use hot water and this option (we imagine that it is recommended) will not be viable if the tap comes out of the tank.
In addition to save the bidet space, it is a discreet complement it does not affect the aesthetics of the bathroom.

Japanese toilets
The ferraris or rolls royce of the bidet toilets are undoubtedly Japanese toilets. Here the technology of the toilet goes beyond the jet of cold water or hot water.
These parts, in addition to water installation, also need electrical installation because many models incorporate ambient lights, sounds and even the possibility of heating the seat and to configure temperature and jet to suit each user.
Although they say that you get used to good quickly, and that those who use these toilets get used to it quickly and want to continue using them, so much technology applied to the toilet is still not in great demand in our country.
In Gunni & Trentino, company specialized in high-end kitchens and bathrooms, they confirm that despite their great features, these types of toilets are not yet in great demand by their customers, but when they do they opt for the Japanese models of Toto.
The best-selling is the new Toto RW model, and the top in terms of performance is the Neorest AC model.
This latest model is unique in the market and is even able to clean itself. The inside of your mug is zirconia coated and the hydrophilic properties of this liner ensure effective removal of debris and bacteria. This, combined with the UV light integrated in the lid, triggers a decomposition process that completes the cleaning in an integral way without the need for brushes.
Everything very practical, and very hygienic, because in the end if we clean everything with water, why do we make an exception with toilet paper?
