Toilet hygiene standards have improved dramatically in the past 25 years. People have slowly begun to realize that many viral and bacterial particles linger in our toilets, sinks, bathtubs, and it is of utmost importance to keep our skin surfaces clean at all times so as to prevent these particles from infecting us.
To give us a more clear picture of what we are talking about, in the year 2012 it was found that 75% of all hemorrhoids, UTI’s (urinary tract infection), yeast infections were caused as a direct result of improper cleansing standards.
Hence, many experts have strives to create newer solutions that can effectively clean our buttocks so that any such bacteria can be easily washed away and the risk of infection is minimized. In other related studies, it has been found that water cleans our skin much more effectively than paper. Water is also able to reach regions where regular toilet paper can’t.
