Won’t it be unpleasant washing with cold water in winter?
This is usually one of the most important concerns to people that are unfamiliar with bidets. Because the anal and genital areas of our bodies are so well supplied with blood, they are among the least affected by cold water. Unlike our extremities (hands and feet), temperature recovery of these areas in a healthy person is almost instantaneous. Cold water actually has a toning and strengthening effect on the muscles and tissues of these rather important parts of our body, and also doesn’t help to promote the growth of bacteria. It all depends on what is really meant by COLD; if incoming water temperature is much below 20 degrees C (typical in southern parts of Australia during winter) then warm water washing will certainly be much more pleasant.
