For feminine hygiene, nothing beats a bidet
When people, especially Americans, talk about bidets, they tend to have some common FAQs. Yet beyond the basics, women have their own set of questions about bidets. First and foremost, they want to know: are bidets better for female hygiene? Let’s take a look.
The truth about feminine wipes
Many women agree that toilet paper can feel dry and abrasive. In an effort to find a better way, some women have turned to feminine wet wipes. It’s a little known fact, however, that wet wipes are actually classified as cosmetic products, rather than health products. This means that wipes are not required to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
Wipes can cause irritation
True to their cosmetic form, feminine wipes can contain a variety of chemicals. Many of these chemicals are not good for the sensitive vaginal area. In fact, one organization, Women’s Voices for the Earth, studied over 150 online reviews for feminine wipes. They found that “complaints of itching, burning, irritation, allergic reactions and bleeding rashes were commonly reported.”
(Wet wipes are also a major irritant for public sewage systems around the world.)
Super sensitive
Toilet paper can be brittle and scratchy. Wet wipes can inflame sensitive skin. In other words, the two most common ways women cleanse themselves after using the bathroom are both troublesome. The skin surrounding female genitalia is highly sensitive and more absorbent than typical skin. Therefore, women should avoid cleaning the vaginal area with perfumed soaps and wipes, rough paper and similar products.
Water cleanse is best
The good news is there is a cleaner, more comfortable solution: the bidet. Dr. Donnica Moore, an expert in women’s health, states it simply: “Water is the best and healthiest way to clean just about everything." This includes the most delicate areas of the human body, female and male alike.

1Coway air purifiers have been proven to trap dust, pollen, dander, viruses and bacteria in the air based on KCL (Korea Conformity Laboratories) testing.They have been tested in a 30㎥ size chamber according to the Korea Air Cleaning Association standard (SPS-KACA 002-132:2022 Modified) to measure the 0.01㎛ size of particle removal rate. It was tested on maximum airflow speed in normal room temperature and humidity conditions. The performance may vary in the actual living environment of customers.

3Aerosol test conducted in a Biosafety level 3 laboratory with two Coway air purifier models, Coway Airmega 250 and 400 for removal of SARS-CoV-2 Aerosol by US based MRI Global, a not-for-profit laboratory and partner of US Department of Defense. The test was conducted in a 13.1ft3 chamber. Virus was aerosolized for 15 minutes and the product was turned on high for 2 minutes. Result showed each product effectively removed over 99.98% of the SARS-CoV-2 in 2 minutes. This is a result from a laboratory experiment condition and result may vary in different conditions. This result does not imply it kills SARS-CoV-2 or prevents the transmission of Covid-19. Coway Airmega 250S and 400S are identical to the tested models and has equal performance with an additional mobile connectivity function.

It is not a demonstration result in the actual use space. Not all odors and gases may be supported. → Tested with Coway Airmega 150, 160, AP-1512HH, AP-1512HHS, 400, 400S
5The coverage area of the air purifier is based on an area where the air cleaner can make two air changes per hour (ACPH). An air change per hour translates to how many times an air purifier can clean an area, assuming the height of a ceiling to be 8 ft, in one hour. Therefore ** means two air changes per hour means that the cleaner can clean the area once every 30 minutes and * means air changes per hour means that the air purifier can clean the area once every 60 minutes.
