  1. The bidet is placed in the shower without any additional works
  2. It is used for washing intimate body parts after a bowel movement
  3. While showering, it is used as a chair – particularly suitable for the elderly and infirm
  4. Does not take up space in the washroom like a classical bidet
  5. Can be transported – little weight (3 kg)
  6. Can be used by infirm persons – the caregiver places the bidet by the bed, adds 2 – 3 litres of water to the pan where the infirm person may perform a bowel movement.
  7. Is suitable for use for persons who have had hip surgery, as the bidet has telescopic legs
  8. Hospitals and care homes have washrooms with flat tile floors where this bidet could be very useful

In some containers, a squatting toilet has been installed to minimize the space used. However, the elderly and infirm cannot use a squatting toilet.

By placing the bidet over the squatting toilet, the elderly and infirm can use it as a:

  • toilet
  • bidet
  • showering chair
