WASHLET® and the age-appropriate bathroom

Or how to maintain control of your hygiene at all stages of life

Many people may not be ready to think about an age-appropriate bathroom – and would rather put that off for a later time. Age-appropriate bathrooms aren’t about comfort and hygiene alone. Even younger people can suddenly find themselves experiencing physical limitations, e.g. after an operation, an injury, or even “just” a pinched nerve. We’ll describe all the benefits of an “age-appropriate” bathroom and prove that these kinds of spaces can even look great.

The bathroom – a calming retreat

The bathroom is a place where people can retreat, focusing on their well-being and the most intimate concerns – a place where people want to be on their own. But what if you had to share such private, intimate moments with someone else? You may experience physical limitations that come with age, accidents or illness over time. Life in the bathroom can get complicated pretty quickly once your familiar level of mobility is gone.

Even if you have limited mobility for a temporary period of time, it helps to have a bathroom that is easier for you to use independently in these types of situations – not to mention long-term conditions like disabilities or old age.

The ability to lead an independent life and take care of your own personal hygiene isn’t just about well-being and comfort. It’s about maintaining a sense of dignity at every age.

Good news: An age-appropriate bathroom doesn’t have to look like one. Today, there are a number of modern, very aesthetic products to choose from. Ready to take a closer look? Let’s go!

Age-appropriate bathroom – the walk-in shower

An important part of an “age-appropriate” bathroom is a walk-in shower. It’s easy for people to access, even with a walker or wheelchair. It also provides a great deal of space for other remedies and a large radius for movement. A walk-in shower also minimises the risk of slipping.

WASHLET® - comfort, hygiene and independence in one

The most intimate area in the bathroom by far is the toilet. People really don’t want to require any help while using it and would rather be able to do this independently for as long as possible. This is why WASHLET® is an indispensable part of an age-appropriate bathroom. It makes a massive difference when it comes to hygiene, comfort and well-being in people’s daily lives. It is truly an all-round product. People who use it quickly appreciate its many benefits and don’t want to do without it.

One of the greatest advantages of WASHLET® is that you can take care of your personal hygiene at the touch of a button. You can activate the spray using the remote control and adjust it specifically to your needs. It doesn’t require any major movements, making it extremely easy to use – even without assistance from a second person. You also use the remote control to activate and adjust other features like the dryer, heated seat, water pressure and temperature.

Touch-free features provide even more relief and comfort, like the toilet seat lid that lifts and lowers automatically as well as the automatic flush activated when the toilet recognises that you’re finished using it.

WASHLET® is an absolute essential for older people or those with limited mobility. It plays a significant role in helping people maintain their independence and dignity.

Be sure to consider installing a TOTO shower toilet during your next bathroom renovation project, if not sooner. Don’t wait to enjoy the many benefits that WASHLET® brings, including more moments of well-being and comfort in your everyday life.
