1. It's way more hygienic. The thought of using abrasive dry toilet paper again after having used a bidet for years now is unnerving. It baffles me that many Americans still don't know what a bidet is. While supposedly representing one of the most modernized societies in the world, we still opt to smear our posteriors with paper instead of cleaning it up with water. The negative consequences of using paper to clean up after ourselves are numerous:

• You will never get rid of the fecal matter completely until after you shower or bathe.
• The hand that serves the duty will get contaminated even if you can't see it.
• Even after washing your hands with soap and water, guess what? Fecal matter will get on your underwear. If the color of your underwear is white, you want to keep it that way.

2. If you're a menstruating female, you know how bad it gets when it's that time of the month. Sometimes a warm soothing jet of water feels much better than wiping and replacing your tampons. Need I go into more details? I think not.

3. Sexually active people can greatly benefit from a bidet. While it's fun, and pleasurable to make wild and crazy love, you need to clean up after your 5 minutes of glory. Don't just roll around in bed drenched in sweat and other bodily fluids, and clean up a bit! What you really need is a shower, but a bidet is an excellent alternative that allows an easy way to quickly clean yourself up with water.

4. Hemorrhoids is more common than you think. Whether you admit it or not, you still have to buy Preparation H at the drugstore next week. Let the bidet do its magic and relieve your discomfort, and pain. A warm water bidet is highly recommended for people with hemorrhoids.

5. Maybe you're disabled and don't like getting help from attendants all the time just to clean up after yourself. The use of a bidet allows you to maintain good personal hygiene with minimal assistance, and reduces unnecessary embarrassment.
