How Does A Bidet Work?

Family with a bidet.

The Bidetmega uses patented i-wave technology that gradually adjusts water pressure for optimal cleanliness and comfort, followed by warm air drying. 

Let’s take a deep dive into how it works.

 

What Is i-wave technology?

i-wave technology delivers a personalized cleaning experience through multi-stage wash care. The system automatically adjusts water pressure, motion patterns, and spray configurations throughout Course Mode’s three distinct stages:

  • Soft Start: Gentle introduction with low water pressure
  • Main Wash: Optimal pressure for thorough cleaning
  • Rinse Wash: Refreshing finish with adjusted pressure

Not feeling the three-stage wash? You can also choose a 1-stage main wash of your choice.

After completing the wash, users can either pat dry with toilet paper or activate Bidetmega's integrated warm air dryer for a completely hands-free experience.

What Cleaning Modes Does Bidetmega Offer?

The Bidetmega 400S and 500S provide two primary cleaning modes plus customizable features:

Primary Modes:

  • General Mode: Single-stage wash with consistent pressure for quick, effective cleaning
  • Course Mode: Comprehensive three-stage cleaning process for maximum hygiene

Enhancement Features:

  • Move Feature: Back-and-forth nozzle motion for complete coverage
  • Air+ Technology: Bubble-infused water stream for enhanced cleaning power
  • Wide Function: Dispersed spray pattern ideal for sensitive skin

How Does the Triple Hygiene Care System Work?

The Bidetmega's Triple Hygiene Care maintains cleanliness at every level:

  1. WaterShield™ Technology: Automatically sprays protective mist before and after each use
  2. Self-Cleaning Nozzle: Performs automatic cleaning cycles to ensure consistent hygiene
  3. Auto UV Cleaning: Activates after 12 uses or 36 hours of inactivity, with on-demand remote activation available

 

Why Is Drying Important After Using a Bidet?

Proper drying ensures the area stays clean, moisture-free, and comfortable throughout the day. Wiping with dry toilet paper can leave residue and cause irritation, especially for people with:

  • Hemorrhoids
  • Postpartum sensitivity
  • Skin disorders
  • Sensitive skin conditions

A complete drying process prevents bacterial growth and maintains optimal hygiene between uses. Bidetmega features a built-in warm air dryer that eliminates the need for toilet paper.
