Experience a New Level of Hygiene with a Bidet Shower
A bidet shower does more than replace toilet paper — it's genuinely more thorough, gentler on sensitive skin, and needs almost no maintenance. Here's the hygiene case for making the switch, and how it compares to a full bidet seat.
Bathroom hygiene tends to get less attention than the kitchen or living areas, but it matters just as much - and a bidet shower is one of the simplest upgrades that genuinely changes the daily experience. Explore our range of bidet sprays, all WaterMark certified for Australian homes.
What Makes a Bidet Shower Different
A bidet shower (or bidet spray) is a handheld nozzle mounted beside the toilet, connected to your cold water supply, that delivers a controlled stream of water for cleaning after using the toilet. Unlike wiping alone, a water-based clean removes residue directly rather than smearing it - which is why so many people who try one don't go back.
The Hygiene Case for a Bidet Shower
More thorough than paper alone.
A directed water stream reaches areas that wiping can miss, particularly useful after a bowel movement.
Gentler on sensitive skin.
For people managing hemorrhoids, IBS, post-surgical recovery, or general skin sensitivity, water is significantly more comfortable than repeated wiping.
Full manual control.
You adjust pressure and angle to what's comfortable - there's no one-size-fits-all setting.
Self-cleaning design.
Conor's sprays are built with a self-cleaning nozzle, so the fixture itself stays hygienic between uses without extra maintenance.
Bidet Shower vs Bidet Seat
These are two different products, both delivering the same core hygiene benefit in different forms:
- A bidet shower / spray is a separate handheld nozzle you aim and control manually - lower cost, simple installation, no power required.
- A bidet seat replaces your toilet seat entirely and washes automatically via a built-in nozzle - higher cost, and electric models add warm water and heated seating.
If you're not sure which suits you, a bidet spray is generally the lower-commitment starting point, especially for renters or anyone trying bidet washing for the first time.
Installation in Australia
Every bidet spray connects to your water supply via a T-valve, so Australian plumbing regulations require a licensed plumber to install it - this isn't optional, regardless of how simple the fitting looks. Every Conor spray is WaterMark certified and ships with a full installation kit to keep the job quick for your plumber.
