Shower toilet: Benefits and functions
What is a shower toilet? Innovative combination of toilet and bidet
A shower toilet is a toilet with an integrated water jet for optimum personal hygiene. Similar to the functionality of a bidet, the shower spray gently but thoroughly cleans your intimate area with water after you’ve been to the toilet. This dramatically reduces the amount of toilet paper you need to use – in many cases, you don’t need to use any at all.
Many toilets with a built-in bidet offer a high degree of comfort thanks to innovative additional functions such as a warm air dryer, lady shower, heated seat or odour extraction unit. That is why a shower toilet is also referred to as a smart toilet. It is perfect for people of all ages, genders and physical conditions.
The combination of toilet and bidet looks like a normal toilet from the outside and generally takes up the same amount of space.
Bidet toilets are especially common in Japan and South Korea, which is why they are often called “Japanese toilets”. But even in Europe, more and more people are enjoying the wonderfully fresh feeling and complete clean a shower toilet provides.

Here’s how to use a toilet with a bidet shower
You start by using a WC with a built-in bidet just as you would use a conventional toilet. However, you clean yourself with water instead of toilet paper. After going to the toilet, a spray arm activates that usually sits inside the ceramic pan in its protected resting position.
The gentle jet of water from the spray arm comfortably and thoroughly cleans your bottom. The spray arm then returns to its resting position. Depending on the model, the bidet functionality of the toilet can either be started at the touch of a button or via a remote control.
