To wash with ice water, and we have this all year round in the water supply? Brrr.
It is not for nothing that in the photo next to the shower, red rubber boots are depicted - after washing, the WHOLE floor will be in the water! And the water on the floor will be diluted with what has been washed from the appropriate places, and it will run down its own thighs... Try, bending over toilet, wash yourself with this shower so as not to flood everything around, if, of course, you want to thoroughly wash everything from the inside, and not just pour it on the outside ass and stuff like a Muslim / ka from a jug (like, the ritual of ablution is complete and it doesn't matter that waste products spread over the legs and surroundings ...).
Don't have hot water in your house? Anyway, you need to somehow heat the water. The hygienic shower is supplied with a mixture of hot and cold water, that is, warm water. No brrr, just wahaah.
Sergey, I recommend using a pressure regulator in conjunction with a hygienic shower. If you set a pressure of 1-1.5 bar, then the spray does not fly away.
Igor, as for the pressure regulator, it's not about the pressure (water pressure), but the fact that, unlike a bidet, where the jet hits strictly in the ass without deviating anywhere and its height easy to adjust, and BOTH hands are free and at the same time you can practically sit on them when washing (i.e. the gap between the bidet and the rim of the bidet is reduced to a minimum - splashing there is nowhere to fly away), you will have to hold the watering can of the hygienic shower with one hand and guide it, and rinse the backside with the other hand and at the same time push it apart with the same hand "Rolls". This is where the clearance for the spray out turns out to be considerable, and the slightest deviation of the shower jet from the correct course (try with one hand and even hold it correctly in the cancer position!) generally leads to the flood. And just pouring water between the buttocks - just wash your own shit over them and your legs (typical Muslim washing from a jug), all the charm is in the wash consists in thorough washing of the sphincter area, because it is most vulnerable to contamination (it is there that all sorts of inflammation and hemorrhoids are formed, and it is not easy to treat due to the location of the infection site), but very many (especially those who grew up in soviet houses or in villages) believe that this is not necessarily.
Igor, I did not write about brrrr - the ass is generally supposed to be washed with cold water in order to avoid blood flow to the veins of the anus and, as a result, to provoke hemorrhoids. This is especially true for pence.
About brrr, this was the answer to Svetlana.
Now I answer you. In Russia, the cold water temperature is not comfortable for delicate places. Be sure to add warm. The result will be approximately 25-30 degrees. This is comfortable cool water.
Sergey, I have installed five hygienic watering cans. To yourself and to your relatives. A pressure regulator is highly desirable. And with it there are no problems. In case of careless actions, you can spray with PURE water. Contaminated water does not get out of the toilet. I repeat, the whole trick is in the presence of a pressure regulator
you just don’t need to remove the bathtub from the bathroom, then it’s convenient to wash without getting into it with both feet
YURIY, put a hygienic shower near the toilet, then you will find out what is really convenient.
Igor, one more thing - a shower on the toilet, and you know what happens to the rim of the toilet, and not everyone I like to sit on it, and if you wipe it every time, it takes too much time + add. the cost of wiping materials + completely nekomilfo with a dirty bottom to engage in wiping the rim before washing. Therefore, either a bidet or a bathroom (as Yuri pointed out above), only a bathroom, preferably with flat and relatively wide sides, so that it was convenient to sit on its edge (traditional soviet cast-iron bathtubs are not very convenient in this regard, especially for undersized and for pence). And that the watering can supposedly be convenient to use, taking one hand, I will not argue, because I tried it and I know what kind of crap it is - no matter what the pressure, the flood is provided (even if there is only one horseradish, either immediately clean up every time, preferably without leaving the toilet, or scrape from the wife / mother / mother-in-law), especially when thorough washing is required after the feces are appropriate consistency.
Igor, about brrr - yes, later I saw that it was Svetlana, but on my own I would add that it was far from each toilet (in houses with hot water supply) has a hot water supply, and in houses with gas water heaters it is even more so no. To do it on purpose is expensive and troublesome to maintain.
I forgot to clarify - why I'm talking about the rim of the toilet, and not its folding seat. If you wash while sitting on the seat, then there will be no room for maneuvers for a hand with a shower head, as well as for a second hand.
Didn't understand a little, saving on toilet paper? That is, after taking a shower into the anal area above the toilet, stand still until everything drips into the toilet? It would seem that even when using a shower, you still need to dry everything that gets wet. And then, the pressure should be strong enough to wash everything off. Otherwise, you will have to help with your hand, but again with a piece of paper. And I didn't understand with the dogs. Shower from the wall is good, but where to wash the dog? Right on the floor? In the toilet?
Sergei, I don't understand what you mean. Neither I nor my relatives have such problems. Everything is convenient, nothing splashes
The pressure is regulated by the button on the watering can. Nothing splashes anywhere and does not run down the thighs. Everything flows into the pot. The shower is of course only for washing the backside and female organs. I have been using it for 20 years already. About washing dogs and the rest of the crap, of course!)
Sergei, although... I guess I understand. I told you that a pressure regulator is needed. There are no problems with him. Well, maybe you've tried an uncomfortable watering can. I rejected two of seven leis (not convenient enough). One watering can I really like.
Oksana, I didn't understand about paper saving either. Perhaps we are talking about the Muslim version. I don’t save paper. But after the shower, we don't use toilet paper, but paper towels.
About pressure, on the contrary, you need to limit the pressure. You need to use the other hand. You can also use intimate soap. We have men's soap for boys and women's soap for girls.
About dogs. I think, for washing small dogs, as well as for shoes, and use a basin
Large dogs only wash their feet in a bucket, watering from a hygienic shower.
In general, a hygienic shower is a VERY universal thing. As soon as it appears, the application is immediately found and it is no longer clear how you can do without it.
Oksana, I’ll add. I am firmly convinced that there is not a single person who will not find an application for a hygienic shower if he has one.
You just need to do the installation wisely.
Oksana K and Igor - under “add. the cost of cleaning materials "I meant either toilet paper or paper towels, which will have to be spent on wiping the rim of the toilet bowl from drops of urine, etc. before you sit on it for washing (many will still want to soap the wiping paper for greater cleanliness, and not rub it dry, and this is a time and a greater waste of paper). Why am I talking about the rim and not the folding seat - explained above. Of course, after washing, you do not need to sit and wait for everything to dry on its own, but you should wipe yourself off either with a paper or cloth towel.
Quote: “Sergei, well, maybe you've tried an uncomfortable watering can. I rejected two of SEVEN (!!!) watering cans (not convenient enough). One watering can is generally superb as I like it. "
Igor, i.e. suggest with watering cans, as with the search for a life partner - do you have to try many in order to find a suitable one in all respects? :-))) Only now, not everyone has the means, strength, time and desire for this ...
Sergei, I have five leis in action (I and my relatives). I rejected only two.
I suggested that you might have gotten an unsuccessful watering can if you have such problems. Although, rather, the reason is the pressure.
Sergei. About paper for wiping the rim from urine. I see no connection with the hygienic watering can. If it is, then it is "reverse". The presence of a hygienic shower teaches you to do all the "things" on the toilet while sitting. Both girls and boys. So, there is no urine, like all other biological fluids in our variants. Everything is very clean, pleasant, hygienic and comfortable.
I no longer remember the type of watering can, because I used this shower several times in the apartment of my retired aunt (but she does the same in terms of spraying), and at home I wash away, sitting on the edge of the bathtub.
As for the boys to do all the things while sitting, I have a bad idea of this opportunity and it is not as comfortable as standing, and in general it is harmful to sit on the toilet. You propose to succumb to the modern trend, when some ladies, trying to equalize everyone and in everything, demand that the men in apartments, when dealing with small needs, they sat on the toilet bowls, so as not to splash them (on Yandex Zen, I saw similar articles). But I'm a scoop, and scoops were twirling similar trends in the causal place :-)))
And about “About paper for wiping the rim from urine. I don't see a connection with a hygienic watering can "- well, when washing, you will have to touch the rim with your thighs and your butt, that's the connection.
Sergei, without a hygienic shower, you also periodically have to sit on the toilet. Nothing is worse with a watering can. In general, I concluded that you WANT to see problems, so you see them. Those who do not have a negative attitude towards using the watering can have no problem. The only objective - you need to put a pressure reducer, it will help you to use the watering can with comfort.
Sergey, in general, I believe that a hygienic watering can should be near every toilet bowl. There is no contraindication if installed correctly. There must be explicit or built-in check valves. This is to protect against mixing.
I will also add that there are several installation options. The classic option with a traditional mixer is not the only one.
And everyone can already decide whether to use a hygienic watering can. But this can only be solved if there is something to try.
Igor, “There must be explicit or built-in check valves. This is to protect against mixing. " - from the admixture of what and where? Please explain in a few words. What is arr. I know the valve, but what kind of admixture is possible and where - I don’t know ...
P.S. Nevertheless, I remain a supporter of the usual bidet, because sitting on it you can act simultaneously with both hands (you push one "roll" apart, the other you wash away), thereby washing yourself more thoroughly, and there will be less spray in any way and no skill (compared to using a giginendusha watering can) required.
And yet (relevant for huts with water meters) - the water consumption in the bidet will be less due to the thinner jet (compared to hygiene. shower) and less time for washing due to the work of two hands. Another thing is that there is not always a place for a bidet, as, for example, in my apartment.
Sergey, the admixture can be hot water into cold, or cold into hot (less often). Neighbors are suffering.
This is a big problem in modern cities. It is common. The reasons are different. A hygienic watering can, installed according to the classical scheme, but without a check valve is one of the possible reasons. People leave the mixer open. Water does not flow from the watering can, because the lever on the watering can is closed, but there will be a mixture.
About the bidet. I believe that in modern conditions a bidet can be placed in few places and is very convenient for very few people. And a hygienic watering can can be placed near any toilet, without exception, and it will be useful to any person. I think that a watering can is a thousand times more correct than a bidet. Whenever possible to install, in terms of ease of use, in functionality and in price.
Sergey, but a classic mixer is not the only option for a hygienic shower. I never used it, in my cases other options came up more. Among the options there are those in which mixing is not possible. That is, you do not need to give up a hygienic shower for fear of admixture.
Igor, I still do not understand - where should OK be installed? "Neighbors are suffering." - that is, I can arrange a hot water addition to the cold water supply system of the whole house? Something is not heard about this, otherwise it would be a well-known problem and not only among the neighbors of those who have hygiene.
OK should be in any place that excludes the possibility of mixing. But sometimes they are built-in. For example, in a reducer (pressure regulator)
Mixing is a very common problem. Google it, you will find many references. Sometimes people suffer for years and cannot find out which of the neighbors is to blame. Or maybe it's not always neighbors, but the water supply network itself is to blame.
The reasons are different.
you need to wash your anus with cold water so that the point shrinks and the intestine tightens in the prevention of hemorrhoids.
I strongly recommend installing a mixer with a thermostat when installing a hygienic shower, otherwise you can simply burn a delicate place, since jumps in the water temperature in the system often occur for various reasons, especially at the moment of switching on, plus to this, the regulator temperature, which is available in thermostats, allows you to set the desired temperature in advance, not too warm, but not too cold, about 25-30.
We have been using such a shower for more than a dozen years, except for the convenience, there are no inconveniences.
When installing a sink with a tap that has a watering can, there are no problems with pressure and temperature.
You regulate all this directly with a crane.
who does not have hot water, I can offer a fast heating tap. I use a convenient thing in the country.
