Do you prefer to use hot or cold water when washing your behind? The perfect bidet water temperature can make the experience more comfortable, enjoyable, and beneficial to your health. 

How do bidets get warm water? Simple, from your cold water line. Thanks to the power of instant water heaters, you are able to get the exact temperature water you want, on demand! To make the bidet water warm, an adjustable knob or button will allow you to adjust how much cold and warm water is mixed to create the perfect temperature. Everyone is different, so you may need to experiment a little bit to find the right setting with your warm water bidet. If you already have a bidet and the bidet water is too cold, you will definitely want to upgrade to a bidet with an instant water heater.

Most bidet toilets and bidet seats have a range of temperatures that you can choose from, some even have a heated dry setting which can make the experience even more comfortable. The temperature you choose can depend on your preferences and what feels best for you or it could be a matter of what benefits you would like to enjoy. Unlimited warm water makes it a lot easier to find your ideal temperature without worrying about running out of hot water and getting a cold shock. Yikes!

If you’re not sure what temperature to choose, start with a medium setting and see how that feels. You can always adjust the temperature later if needed.

Benefits of hot water for washing

Better hygiene

Hot water provides better hygiene as it kills more germs. Research from the University of Arizona found that washing with hot water resulted in less bacteria on the hands. A bidet with a heated seat and adjustable water temperature provides the utmost comfort and cleanliness for the user. There's a reason so many countries around the world use bidets!

Reduces anal issues

It’s important to use water that is hot enough to clean properly. A recent study found that using cold water can actually increase the risk of developing anal issues and a warm water wash is preferable for most users. 

Getting a bidet that sprays warm water and features an adjustable temperatures selector can help to avoid this issue.

More relaxing

Washing with hot water can feel more relaxing and it can provide a sense of cleanliness that cannot be replicated with cold water. Bidet toilet seats with adjustable water temperatures make it easy to find the perfect hot water temperature for you, ensuring that you always enjoy a relaxing experience.

Can help ease constipation

Did you know that water can help stimulate your bowel movement? Providing hot water flow to the anal region via a bidet can be effective in reducing the severity of constipation.

Reduce the amount of toilet paper needed

Bidet toilet seats with adjustable water temperatures can help to reduce the amount of toilet paper needed. Hot water is more effective at cleaning, so you may not need to use as much toilet paper. This can be a more environmentally-friendly and economical option.

Benefits of colder water for washing butt

Helps reduce inflammation

Bidet toilet seats with colder water temperatures can help reduce the risk of inflammation. Cold water can help reduce inflammation and soothe irritated skin. This can be beneficial for those who suffer from conditions like Crohn’s disease or IBS.

Can soothe and calm irritated skin

If you’re looking to soothe and calm irritated skin, cold water is recommended as it can help provide relief. Cold water is great for reducing inflammation and providing a cooling sensation to the area. This can be helpful if you have just shaved or are experiencing razor burn.

Increased circulation

Cold water can help to increase circulation. This can be beneficial if you’re looking for a temporary solution to help reduce the appearance of cellulite. Increased circulation helps to move lymphatic fluid and promotes better toxin removal.

Using a bidet or bidet toilet seat with a built in tank water heater or tankless instant heater has the trickle down effect of limiting the amount of water that your home water heater has to contain, saving you money in the process!

Everyone is different, so it’s important to experiment a little bit to see what temperature feels best for you when using a bidet toilet seat. Bidet toilet seats with adjustable water temperatures make it easy to find the perfect setting, so you can enjoy all the benefits that come with using a bidet.
