The Japanese bidet has many features and is not just for cleaning water. It is also known as a washlet and is quite popular in Japan. Almost every household has one and they use it all the time. No longer it is just used for washing, in this article I will include some features of the Japanese bidet that makes it unique from other ones.

The electronic bidet use to be only unique to Japan but many countries have started to use it too, here are some features that the Japanese bidet has.

The Unique Feature of Music

In the public bathrooms in Japan, some bidets play music while using it. This makes it so people can't hear you while using the device and plus you get a nice melody while going to the bathroom. Since the music is pretty loud it cancels out the sound of the stream of water so one does not have to be embarrassed about using the bidet. This cool feature makes it even better to use and allows the person to listen to music while using it. The Japanese bidet is one of the most advanced in the world and being able to play music is one of its features.

Air Drying

Another feature that the Japanese bidet has is air drying. No longer does one need to even use toilet paper after use. A warm stream of air comes out of the bidet and drys you off after use. This saves on the use toilet paper and also eliminates the need of having a cloth near by. This feature makes it even easier to use the bidet because it does everything for you, you don't even need to dry off because it does it for you. This is a very useful feature for use in the bathroom.

Heated Seats

The bidet seat is heated which allows you to stay warm even during the cold winters. This feature is best used during the winter time and keeps you warm while using the bathroom. The worst thing is sitting on a cold toilet seat, with the Japanese bidet you can be warm while using it and you don't have to be cold. This feature is common in many bidets but originated with the Japanese bidet.

The bidet remains to be very popular in Japan today and thanks to these many features, people love using them. All of these features is what makes the bidet unique. The music that comes from the bidet keeps other people from listening to using it. The air drying makes it much easier to dry yourself off after use of the bidet and the heated seats keep you warm in the winter. All of these features are included with the Japanese bidet and because of that they are so popular.

Harmful Effects of Cell Phone Radiation

!±8± Harmful Effects of Cell Phone Radiation

There is a rising apprehension about the amount of radiation being emitted by mobile phones and the nature of damage caused to those who are constantly using phones. Investigation on the adverse health effects of mobile phone radiation is on surge but fresh analyses have associated it with vertigo, salivary gland tumors, brain cancer, behavioral problems and migraines.

Most horrifying information is that many of the top mobile phones from popular manufacturing companies are considered to have maximum intensity of radiation emission, as per the Environmental Working Group. Blackberry Bold 9700, Motorola's Droid, HTC Nexus One by Google and LG Chocolate Touch are some of the gaudy phones for you to avoid since all these four phones are actually approaching the sharp edge of 'Radiofrequency radiation safety limits' put forth by the 'Federal Communications Commission' as claimed by EWG. On the other hand, Blackberry Storm, Sanyo Katana II and Samsung Rugby have the lowest radiation discharge rates.

However every mobile phone discharges some amount of radiation which in the long run may cause serious health problems. Now-a-says life devoid of cell phones seems to be highly unfeasible. There are certain factors which are recommended by experts that can help to guard the radiation exposure to a greater level.

Make it a practice to use earphones all the time because earphones do not produce radiation as much as the mobile phones.

Try to talk less and listen more because according to experts while talking cell phones produce more radiation than at the time of listening.

Another important suggestion is to send text messages more often instead of talking because while creating text messages the phone utilizes less power as a result of which less radiation is produced.

Avoid talking when there is a weak signal because in order to catch hold of a stronger signal the phone releases considerable amount of radiation.

If you cannot live without a cell phone, try to make less use to cut down the hazardous effects.

Bidet Evolution - The Modern Electronic Bidet

!±8± Bidet Evolution - The Modern Electronic Bidet

Outside of North America, using a bidet is the preferred method of cleaning after using the restroom. Perhaps in your travels to Europe (particularly France, Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal), you've seen them as they are commonly found in homes, hotels and restaurants. They are also popular in Asia - sometimes referred to as a Japanese toilet or washlet. They can be frequently found in the Middle-East, and parts of South America as well. In Argentina for example, almost every home has a bidet. And in Venezuela, having one will actually increase the value of your home.

In North America however, bidets are still very much in their infancy. When looking at readers' comments on the many bidet articles out there, a lot of people have heard of the bidet, but not sure what it is exactly. How does it work? Is it used to wash your feet? So, let's try to clear this up. The first thing to understand, is that all the bidets in the world can be grouped into three general families. These families are listed in order of evolution:

Basin-type Bidets - the first type of bidet ever created. These are actually separate porcelain fixtures that sit next to the toilet. Many basin-type bidets have a water spout at the bottom of the bowl which directs the water stream upwards to wash you as you squat over it. These are the bidets most North Americans think of when hearing about a bidet. Simple Bidet Seat Attachments - these bidets attach to your existing toilet so they take up a lot less space in your bathroom. Often made of plastic, these bidet attachments come in varying levels of sophistication, with the simplest form being just a water extension from the cold water supply. The water flows through a wand which can be directed at your undercarriage. Electronic Bidet Seat Attachments - this type of bidet also attaches to your existing toilet but as the name implies, is plugged in to an electrical outlet. These are the most modern and technologically advanced bidet types. Features include telescopic wash nozzles which retract when not in use, and a warm air dry to take care of residual moisture after washing.

Which type of bidet is the best for you? Well before answering, let's consider that most North American bathrooms weren't designed to handle an additional fixture next to the toilet. This probably leaves you to choose between one of the two bidet attachments.

The biggest advantage of the Simple Bidet Seat Attachment is cost. Many of these bidets can be found for less than 0 USD, and they do an effective job at cleaning. Many folks will find that this type of bidet will suffice, as it is certainly more effective than taking multiple wipes with toilet paper.

Then there's the Electronic Bidet which as stated, is the most advanced of the bunch. They are comparable to basin-type bidets in price - about 0 to 0 USD, and in addition to retractable wash nozzles and an air dry function, these bidets are equipped with a water heating system so you don't have to use cold water. They also have massage features like a pulsating water stream, and a temperature-controlled heated seat. To further illustrate, here's a video demonstration on the electronic bidet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sj8nCyrZbY

So there you have it. The next time a bidet comes up in a conversation, you can amaze your friends with your newfound knowledge of all the different bidet types, and its evolution.
