The genital area can be difficult to keep clean and needs to be cleansed thoroughly after every bowel movement. For the best personal hygiene, it's also best to wash up with a bidet after sexual intercourse, and women can use one to stay clean during their menstrual cycle. When you're experiencing inflammation, staying as clean as possible matters even more.

The bidet is typically used after going to the bathroom, especially after a bowel movement, but anyone experiencing inflammation can use it much more often. An aerated spray wash, one of several settings on most bidet toilet seats, is usually the most comfortable option for easing inflammation, and using it regularly throughout the day can help ease hemorrhoid pain. If you spend a lot of time sitting in one place, like at a desk, regular breaks to use the bidet can be very refreshing.

Most bidets offer several temperature settings, and a cool water wash is the best way to get relief from inflammation. With hemorrhoids or other inflammation, you may feel a sense of heat, so if you find yourself wishing for an ice pack, try a cold water cleanse instead. It helps soothe the irritated area, and won't need to be your last resort.

The bidet may also help lessen inflammation for women after childbirth. The vaginal area can be very sore and uncomfortable afterward, especially with stitches, and dry toilet paper can be irritating and rough in this sensitive area. A cool bidet feminine cleanse, used often, helps the inflammation go away sooner. A bidet toilet seat is a discreet addition to any home, and can be enjoyed by everyone for both daily use and treatments like these.
