Oscillating Wash
The Oscillating Wash function is a key feature in premium bidet seats that enhances your cleansing experience by automatically moving the nozzle back and forth during a wash cycle. This dynamic motion increases the coverage area, delivering a more thorough and refreshing clean compared to a stationary spray. By mimicking the motion of manual cleansing, the oscillating wash promotes better hygiene, reduces the need for wiping, and brings comfort and confidence to every use. It’s especially useful for achieving full coverage in a gentle, hands-free way.
