The reason you have to use the bathroom bidet again
It is there and has a purpose. Although it may seem like a useless object of the past, the bidet may have a meaning in our era. We explain why
It is perhaps the most ignored domestic accessory and has been practically excluded from all newly built apartments. On the other hand, many young people and foreigners who rent an apartment that has not been renovated ask themselves what is the utility of that kind of hybrid between toilet and sink that occupies a precious space in a tiny bathroom.

The bidet is part of the hygiene habits of the citizens of Greece, Italy, Portugal and, of course, Spain, as well as some countries in South America (particularly Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay). The varieties and the advances are not missing either: horizontal jet bidet, vertical jet or inverted shower, portable ...
For its comfortable position, slightly below the knees, some still use it to wash their feet, but forget their original function : cleaning the genitals and anus.
More and more homes are dispensing with the bidet. A step back for hygiene?
One of the reasons why it is no longer used so much is because many men and women prefer to wear their intimate areas completely shaved. The aesthetics of pornography, which has given rise to what in the Anglo-Saxon world is known as spornosexual subjects (a word formed by the mixture of sport, "sport", porn and metrosexual), is the fault of the phenomenon. In addition to the aesthetic motifs, there is also that impression that our pudenda parts are thus more neat. However, if the pubic hair is there, it will be for something.
Following the great bidet apology made by Bigas Luna in his film "Huevos de oro" we are going to give you an argument why you should not remove it from your bathroom. The alarming conclusions of a study are the real cause.
The hair is beautiful
The pubic hair is a natural protector against the entry of pathogens, because it makes it difficult for them to access the urogenital system. It is particularly relevant for women, since the vagina is much wider and more accessible to germs than the male duct. On the other hand, the hair also serves as a buffer of the genital region during intercourse, which being a skin-to-skin act can generate very annoying redness.
Fans of frequent hair removal are often sexually much more active than those who do not give importance to such practice
The pubic hair has, therefore, an important sexual function, and there are very few health benefits that are achieved with its complete elimination.
As also shows a recent research published in the magazine ' Sexually Transmitted Infections ', if pubic hair is suppressed, the risk of venereal diseases ends up shooting up. The small cuts that are formed in the skin are the main reason that lead to increase the chances of infection.
Less hair: more infections
The results are drawn from a survey of more than 7,500 adults in the United States. A country that, no matter how civilized, has no bidets .
Almost three-quarters of the individuals studied recognized that they had shaved or shaved on occasion, which speaks volumes about the importance now given to this part of our body. In particular, 84% of women and 66% of men declared that they had done so. 17% used to perform an extreme hair removal, removing all the hair from that area at least once a month. On the other hand, 22% admitted that they dedicated some time of the week to their care.
Doctors advise not to wax completely. In case cuts appear it is important to wait for the skin to heal
The study also shows the differences between sexes when grooming intimate areas. While men often prefer electric razors, women are more likely to use blades. One out of every five individuals recognizes that they also use the scissors to make some arrangements.
Among those who wax, those who perform a more extreme hair removal are three to four times more likely to get a sexually transmitted disease than those who prefer nature to run its course. In particular, the most contagious diseases are genital herpes and HPV (human papillomavirus).
The study also says that fans of frequent hair removal are often sexually much more active than those who do not give importance to such a practice. Hence perhaps the great aesthetic concern of these subjects.
The only good news for those who love knives and hot wax is that this habit prevents the transmission of lice like the 'pthirus pubis', that is, the famous crabs. Of course, once contracted, hair removal and shaving will not lead to the total extermination of these parasites.
The doctors of the University of California who carried out the investigation advise strongly to always leave some hair , or in the case that it is suppressed and appear cuts in the skin, wait at least for it to be completely cured.
We are not going to end these lines by writing an ode to the pubic hair, but just as everyone plays with their hair, their beards , their eyebrows or their eyelashes to improve their appearance, would not it be better to give a touch of creativity to what we We save for special situations, instead of cutting it flush?
Hygiene goes into the grooming process, and that's where our protagonist of today comes back: the bidet. We know that we are not going to break trends with this article, but we want to remember that the bidet exists and it is a pity that, due to sanitary ignorance, it is in danger of extinction. So we incorporate the bidet in our homes. Let's make your old condition become something vintage or retro.
