Child Wash
The Child Wash feature is a specially designed cleaning mode for young children. Since kids have sensitive skin and may not be familiar with using a bidet, this mode provide a gentle, lower-pressure water stream at a comfortable temperature. Many models also shorten the washing cycle and include a lower pressure drying function to make the process more comfortable for little ones. By making bidet use easier for children, this feature helps promote good hygiene habits while reducing the need for excessive toilet paper use.
