BIDET INVENTION EASES BATHROOM WOES

BOULDER CITY, Nev., June 17 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, a routine trip to the bathroom can make for an unpleasant and even painful experience. Hemorrhoids, STDs, urinary tract infections, diarrhea and other related issues can cause significant discomfort for countless potty-goers. As a result, a Nevada-based physician has invented the Biffy, a bidet attachment designed to relieve common problems associated with using traditional toilet paper.

"Our backsides are an often overlooked area when it comes to personal hygiene," said Dr. Warren Smith, inventor of the patented product and founder of the American Biffy Company.

"The Biffy is a great solution for those suffering from a variety of rectal and vaginal issues," he added.

In a simple, one-step motion, the Biffy delivers a fan of fresh water to a user's bottom, thoroughly rinsing the area clean. Since only water makes contact with the skin, there is no touching or rubbing of sensitive areas, which helps alleviate discomfort associated with using dry paper.

With an adjustable pressure dial, the showerhead's water stream can vary in strength to accommodate a user's preference. Additionally, the self-cleansing, antibacterial spray nozzle swings back and shuts off when not in use.

Originally designed for a patient with no arms below the elbows, Smith's invention has steadily grown in popularity and has been a proud fixture in many bathrooms across the country.

"Most of our customers don't go back to paper once they've tried a Biffy," noted Smith. "It's convenient, easy to use and doesn't require any manual dexterity."

The product, which fits discreetly under most standard toilet seat rims, is also beneficial in reducing an average family's toilet paper consumption by up to 75%.

Due to its convenience, low cost and health benefits, Smith predicts his invention will continue to be well-received by potty users seeking relief from the irritation caused by paper.

"My dream is to see a day when all toilets in the country have a Biffy installed, making bathroom breaks an enjoyable experience," he quipped.
