Powerful showerheads. Be prepared.

The right showerhead will leave you not just clean but also rejuvenated.

A Superior SPRAY

THE AVERAGE PERSON SPENDS 13 minutes a day in the shower, which

translates to 80 hours per year and 260 days over a lifetime. With that kind

of commitment, you want to ensure that every moment is as refreshing and

enjoyable as possible. Your main concern? A quality showerhead that suits

your style. To find it, you first need to think through what’s most important

to you—here we walk you through the process.

MYTH BUSTERMYTH: A low-flow showerhead means a weak shower.

FACT: Once upon a time, this was indeed true. But today’s technology—such as the EcoFlow® line from Waterpik®—conserves water without sacrificing an invigorating shower experience. Bonus: Low-flow options will also invigorate your wallet as you save on utility bills.

FIXED VS. HANDHELD. • Choose a fixed-mount showerhead if you prefer a clean, modern look or you need to keep it out of the reach of children. TIP: Make sure the showerhead has a pivot mechanism, so you adjust the spray direction.

• Handheld models are best for uses such as washing kids or pets, and they can also make it easier to clean the shower itself. A 5-foot hose is usually adequate, but you can find up to 8-foot hoses if you’d like it to stretch farther.

• For the best of both, try either an adjustable showerhead that allows you to easily change the fixture’s height or opt for a two-in-one dual model that includes both a fixed and a handheld showerhead in one unit. TIP: If you’d like to use both showerheads at once, select

SHOWER EXPERIENCE.• Rain spray. Rainfall showerheads feature a wider surface and more spray nozzles for a refreshing flow that drenches your whole body at once.

• Massage. This is the most affordable alternative to your own personal masseuse. Look for adjustable settings such as circular, slow and pulsating.

• Combo. If you checked “all of the above,” you’ll want an adjustable-setting showerhead. Some models offer a variety of settings. TIP: Before you buy, make sure it’s easy to switch from one setting to another. Our recommendation: An EasySelect® model from Waterpik®, a Women’s Choice

BEST FOR HOME | FOR THE BATHROOM

SUPERIOR HYGIENE. Water is the best way to clean just about anything. Using a bidet minimizes the use of your hand, which in turn reduces the number of germs transferred to your hands and other surfaces. This is especially helpful for children, some elderly people and others who may have trouble with wiping or hand washing. It also leaves your private areas cleaner and fresher than if you just use paper.

FRENCH INVENTORS GAVE US THE V8 ENGINE, the rabies vaccine, the modern

pencil and, perhaps just as groundbreaking, the bidet. Popular in Europe, Japan

and parts of South America and the Middle East—and catching on in North

America—bidets and bidet seats use water to cleanse the body after toilet

use and work well for any age group and gender. Unlike traditional bidets,

which are a separate fixture, bidet seats attach to nearly any toilet and employ

a warm-water spray nozzle for cleaning. While they may seem unusual (and a

little intimidating) at first, most people are sold after just a few uses. Here’s why:

CLEANS LIKE A CHAMPThe Brondell Swash bidet seat—a 2015 Women’s Choice Award winner—boasts a 97 percent customer satisfaction rating. Other accolades under its belt include an Electronic House magazine’s 2011 Product of the Year designation and a 2007 Home American Building Products Award.

A Better Kind of CLEAN

As much of the world can attest, using a bidet toilet seat boosts cleanliness, comfort and even the planet.

ENHANCED COMFORT. Never again plunk your bum on an ice-cold toilet seat in the middle of the night—the best modern bidet seats are heated, and some even offer a drying function. Bidets also greatly reduce the need for toilet paper, an especially welcome benefit for people who experience paper-induced skin breakdown and irritation because of medical problems such as IBS, Crohn’s disease, hemorrhoids or incontinence.

GREENER CLEANING. Americans use an average of 34 million rolls of toilet paper per day. If you consider the paper production process, that equals 221,000 trees, 225 million gallons of water, 88 million pounds of greenhouse gases and 161 million kWh of electricity—per day. Meanwhile, using a bidet seat usually reduces toilet paper consumption by at least 75 percent. And while it does use water and electricity, the net amount is less for the bidet than for processing toilet paper.
