Buying gifts for seniors can be a challenge. A good gift could focus more on things that will help them make life easier or make them feel loved. Then a toilet seat bidet can be a great gift! Nothing says “I care about you” more than the gift of elevating one's hygiene.
To clarify, I’m not talking about traditional freestanding bidets that are typically placed next to normal toilets. Slips in the bathroom are among seniors’ most common falls. It would be both annoying and dangerous for older users when transferring from the toilet to straddling the bidet.
What I’ve found more helpful are toilet seat bidet attachments. This type of device simply mounts onto the existing toilet in your home and requires no remodeling, plumbing work or additional floor space.
REASONS
There are several advantages to giving a bidet to an elder.
Safer Toileting
Bidets can help improve senior safety at home. For seniors committed to their independence, bidet toilet seat combos or bidet attachments can save their back from unnecessary twisting, bending, or stretching to wipe, decreasing the chance of injury or losing balance.
Better Hygiene
Bidets can provide a more hygienic bathroom experience for older individuals. Maneuvering around to wipe and wash becomes surprisingly difficult for people as they age, particularly those with stiffness, weakness, pain, frailty, or balance issues. A bidet can provide a gentler and more effective way of cleaning and can help seniors to feel fresher and more comfortable after using the bathroom.
Less Infection Risk
Another advantage of a bidet for seniors is that it can help to reduce the risk of infections and other health problems. Proper personal hygiene is important for maintaining good health, and using a bidet can help seniors to cleanse more effectively and reduce the risk of bacterial or fungal infections. This can be especially important for seniors who may be more susceptible to such infections due to age-related changes in the body.
Greater Independence
Bidets can also provide seniors with a greater sense of independence and autonomy in the bathroom. Many seniors refuse help with personal care because it comes with a loss of privacy and often dignity. However, this can jeopardize their safety, and worsen personal hygiene. Using a bidet can allow them to take care of their own needs without relying on others. They would be happier and healthier when they are more in control of the private aspects of their lives.
Impress the senior in your life with a Hibbent bidet gift and best of all, they’ll always think of you when they use the toilet. They will be thankful for you to make a significant difference in their daily lives.
