The benefits of using a bidet

Filipinos are familiar with the impressive cleaning capability of bidets, but many still think that their bathroom is fine without it, opting instead for the classic water dipper (tabo) or the handy toilet paper. Some welcome bidets in public toilets but do not see them as necessary in homes and residences.  

The bidet, however, is a useful toilet essential providing worthy benefits for everyday use.

Easy and effective cleaning

The most common bidet is the handheld type or what some call bidet sprayer. Simple and easy to use, the sprayer is widely used commercially and, in many homes, and offices. Installed next to the toilet seat for easy access, the handheld bidet sprayer makes cleaning simple yet effective. Using a spray type also requires only minimal effort as it can be used with just one hand. 

The Luxe Hygiene Spray from Kohler Co. is designed with an intuitive flow control for better pressure control regardless of the home’s water pressure. The handle is positioned further from the spray face and air induction ensures full area coverage while keeping the hands dry. The sleek product comes in an antibacterial metal body with an ergonomic design featuring a longer body for greater reach and flexibility. As this spray gives more control to the user, the powerful tool cleans with only half the effort. 

Greater hygiene and skin protection

Toilet paper could be rough on the skin. The fancier flushable wet wipe, meanwhile, usually contains perfumes and chemicals that may cause irritations and allergies, especially in kids and the elderly. Moreover, cleaning with toilet paper or wipes doesn’t guarantee a full sweep of the area. Using water instead ensures a better and more hygienic cleaning without the risk of irritating the skin.

Bidets installed on seats provide extra ease and comfort as they do not require use of the hands. Kohler Co.’s C3-030 Manual Bidet Seat features a dual-wand system that eliminates the need to twist and reach out to wash intimate areas, making front and rear personal cleansing much easier. A simple switch customizes water pressure to prevent spills, splatters and discomfort.

Better long-term savings

Bidets may be seen as a luxury, but the long-term savings outweigh the initial costs of purchase and installation. The initial dent on the wallet is small compared with buying endless rolls of toilet paper. This is even more so nowadays with prices of toilet paper rising significantly in recent months due to the pandemic, going up as much as 17.76 percent the last month in the local market and making the Philippines the sixth country worldwide with the highest toilet paper inflation.[1]

In addition to the long-term savings, using bidets helps reduce wastes. With less use of toilet paper and flushable wipes, we decrease the amount of wastes going to local landfills and releasing harmful contaminants in our air, land and water.

Best in class

Kohler Co., a global leader in design and innovation of kitchen and bath products, continues to elevate the bathroom experience through premium products and designs as highlighted in the Luxe Hygiene Spray and C3-030 Manual Bidet Seat. 

The Luxe Hygiene Spray boasts advanced Katalyst^TM air-induction spray technology that distributes water pressure evenly through its optimized nozzles, providing full coverage with an incomparable experience. Its seamless antibacterial silicone handle prevents dirt traps and is easy to clean while the premium metal body is resistant to damage and leaks. 

The C3-030 Manual Bidet has a self-cleaning nozzle benefit, preventing the growth of germs that cause unpleasant odors, irritation and sickness. It does not need to be plugged into a power socket or battery pack to deliver optimum functionality.

Both the Luxe Hygiene Spray and C3-030 Manual Bidet Seat meet Kohler’s stringent hygiene spray performance test to assure homes of an excellent bathroom quality product. For more details on Kohler’s latest bidets, visit www.kohlercompany.com.

Global smartphone brand vivo brings together ‘masters of clarity’ for the launch of its international flagship model the X50 Series, with its Pro version bearing 5G technology, in the Philippines last August 22. The second virtual launch of vivo for 2020 saw the official unveiling of the X50Pro, X50, as well as its TWS earphones.

The event titled “Masters of Craft” featured the full clarity and extreme stability guaranteed by the X50 and the X50Pro, the latter having the innovative Gimbal camera system, in parallel to personalities that embody the same philosophy.

During the launch, “Master Actor” Khalil Ramos mentioned that he was impressed by the stabilization of the 5G-enabled vivo X50 Pro thanks to its innovative gimbal lens and went on to praise the color quality and premium feel of the new smartphone.

Voice talent Inka Magnaye, who earned social media-celebrity status with her distinctly soothing voice aptly hosted the virtual launch, which also featured up-and-coming artist Khalil Ramos, and globe-trotter entrepreneur Angely Dub, who both shared how to redefine one’s path despite looming uncertainties; and photographers Hannah Morales and Xander Angeles, who demonstrated how mastery in something is always within reach.

(Photo shows vivo Philippines Vice President for Sales, Hazel Bascon) Among the surprising reveals of the vivo X50 Series launch is the smartphone brand's partnership with world-renowned car brand Chevrolet for the campaign--paralleling with the sophistication, speed, and smooth user experience abound every X50 Series unit.

“We at vivo are always on the lookout for bringing our customers an elevated smartphone experience each time by trying to understand and address the demands of today’s users. And we hope to do just that with the X50 Series,” said Charisma Buan, vivo Philippines Public Relations Lead. This comes after recent reports of vivo taking the no.1 spot in the Philippines in the latest Canalys smartphone ranking result.

One lucky viewer of the livestreamed launch also got the chance to be among the first owners of the vivo X50 Series by simply sharing and answering a few questions live online.

The "Masters of Craft" launch event of the vivo X50 Series, held live online last Aug. 22, ended on a high note with the much-awaited price reveal of the X50Pro and X50, at P39,999 and P25,999, respectively

Gatorade powers Philippine basketball action in first-ever NBA Republika Playoffs Party

As the high-octane basketball action of the NBA goes underway in the commencement of the highly-awaited 2020 Playoffs, Filipino fans got a taste of what they’d been missing out on in the first-ever NBA Republika Playoffs Party.

Held last August 17 on Facebook Live, the NBA Republika Playoffs Party is the latest result of the long and fruitful partnership between Gatorade and NBA Philippines. It featured a combination of authentic NBA entertainment, interviews with international basketball stars, and other interactive elements.

Gatorade hosted two segments in the party, one of which was the “Path to Pro” interview segment, where NBA G League star and potential No. 1 draft pick Jalen Green shared his journey to becoming an NBA player.

“The best advice I can give to aspiring Filipino basketball players is to stay in the gym,” said Green, with whom local Gatorade athletes also had the chance to talk and ask for inspiration. “Stay in the gym, really work, and really study the game of basketball.”

Local phenom turned international cager Thirdy Ravena, himself also a Gatorade ambassador, also shared some of his insights from his own journey to being a professional basketball player.

“I definitely have a million things to improve on, as I know I’m going to be playing a smaller position than I was used to in college,” he said. “And you know I’m always trying to stay hydrated—shout out to the Gatorade family for making sure we have the fuel to perform at a high level.”

Another Gatorade ambassador, Ricci Rivero of UP Fighting Maroons also shared his thoughts on playing to represent the Philippines. “Getting the chance to represent the country is something that we should take as a privilege and not just an opportunity. Playing for the country is something that will boost our confidence and morality, it’s one of the best opportunities to be given to an athlete.” He also added, “like what Thirdy said, no promises but we’re going to give it our all.”

Another segment was the “Dunk Off,” where local collegiate stars competed in a virtual dunk contest for the fans. The winner received a year’s supply of Gatorade for themselves and an organization of their choice.

“We’re definitely happy to fuel Filipino fans’ excitement for the return of NBA action through the Republika Playoffs Party,” said Mikey Rosales, PepsiCo Philippines’ Marketing Director. “Great sports action is something we all need during these times.”

Gatorade has been a partner of the NBA since 1984, of NBA Philippines since 2005, and of numerous local leagues and teams including the UAAP, PBA, and the MPBL, among others.
