Welcome to our discussion about bidets and why you want to choose a bidet from Bidets Unlimited.

I want to start with a testimonial about my experience with seat bidets. Here in Texas we had some rather severe weather in the early summer of 2004 and several hundred thousand of us experienced a week without any electricity. Besides computer withdrawal, what I missed the most was the lack of electricity to power the electronic features of our bidet. For an item that is not a requirement for existence, the absent features had a major effect on my quality of life.

And that is basically what a bidet is - a quality of life enhancer. Some people get a lot of benefit from using a bidet. Anybody with hemorrhoids, bleeding, or constipation can expect some serious pain reduction. Your problems will not go away, but a lot of the pain will. For others, a bidet will just make the toilet experience more pleasant.

We pamper ourselves with good food, fine homes, and powerful vehicles. Yet the toilet experience for most Americans hasn't changed since the outhouse with a Sears and Roebuck catalog hanging on the wall. Is there something wonderful about strips of paper that vary in texture from sandpaper to wax paper? Is it advertising that keeps us chained to this outmoded concept? Must we experience the strength of a multi-ply tissue or the wonderful softness of the latest product? The same basic concept still applies then as it does now. We smear it around until more of it is on the toilet paper than is on us. A bidet does away with this routine, at least when you are using the bidet. The water sweeps away the residue and makes your bottom clean.

Now that you're convinced that you want a "clean bottom", it is time to look at getting one of these devices. The concept of a bidet has been around for a long time. Many of us who have traveled abroad have seen and maybe used porcelain bidets. These are units which look a lot like toilets except that there is no toilet seat and there are controls at the back, which is the front when you sit on it, for controlling water temperature and pressure. Their use is mostly for feminine hygiene because it is rather annoying to get up off the toilet and walk over to the bidet for bottom washing. Besides, that bare porcelain is cold to sit on. During my encounter with a porcelain bidet in a hotel in the middle east I wondered why the functions of the toilet and bidet hadn't been combined into one unit. Many years later I was interested in updating my bathroom, and I wondered if I could find somebody who made a bidet unit that fit on a toilet. A little searching on the Internet revealed that I was way behind. The concept of a seat bidet had been patented in the U.S many years ago. In almost anywhere but the U.S. a seat bidet was considered a standard feature of upscale living. Now the problem was deciding which product to buy without being able to test any of them.

We discovered buying a brand name widely known and popular in its home country was not a good indication of customer satisfaction in the U.S. Our first buy, while the top of it's manufactures line, was functional but lacked the polish that American consumers expect. We created a page long list of all the things that we didn't like about it. We then went into detailed discussions directly with several major manufactures. When we received the first one that we decided on, we created a three page listing of all the things that we didn't like. After much searching, we decided to request a special build from a major manufacture that we believe is acceptable to the American consumer.

Instead of performing your own expensive search for an acceptable seat bidet, we have done the work for you. Our "Orchid" bidet meets our stringent requirements for usefulness, durability, installation, and polish.

Still not quite sure that you will like our seat bidet? That is understandable - after all, how many seat bidets has the average American encountered? In addition to providing a wonderful bidet we also provide a risk free way for you to test our product in your own home. When you arrange an appointment with one of our representatives and decide on using our test plan, we will install a bidet in your home for you to try for up to four weeks, and then you can make your decision based on your own personal experience. We are not expecting many people to turn down owning our seat bidet but we will be happy to remove it if you don't want to keep it. After all, we don't want people to have a product of ours that they don't want to own and cherish.

Do give us a try. What have you to lose besides that sticky residue on your bottom? We believe in equal opportunity for clean bottoms.
