I have to say that the bidet is one of the best inventions ever made. Fantastique!
For all of your bidet novices here is a little breakdown for you.
A bidet looks like a toilet but has warm-water jets for personal hygiene after you use the toilet. You might appreciate a bidet before sex, during menstruation, or if you have hemorrhoids, problems with bowel movements or physical disabilities.
They are also very good for holding magazines, for the cat to drink out of, for potting plants, washing your feet, etc…
Instructions for use:
1. Have bidet devices fitted on your toilet, or install a separate freestanding bidet next to your toilet if there’s enough room in your bathroom.
2. Sit on your bidet after using the toilet.
3. Turn on the water and adjust the jets so that the strength of the stream is comfortable. The direction of the stream can usually be adjusted.
4. Cleanse anus and/or genitals. Some bidets are equipped with an air-dryer to dry skin afterwards. Otherwise, pat skin dry with toilet paper or towel.
5. Rinse out the bidet if it is freestanding.

kitties like them too!

My first encounter with a bidet was in a hotel in Osaka, Japan. It was also the first time I ate a croissant (I don’t know if that’s the correct spelling). A bidet is a usefull thing indeed!
In the old days bidets where more common in rich people houses. Nowdays they can’t be seen, even on rich people houses.
Nowdays almost everyone enjoys a daily shower or bath, but that wasn’t always the case. Personal hygiene was directed towards the areas that needed it more.
Curiously enough it is an European invention, perfectioned by the Japanese.

Not entirely true. People in Spain shower daily and still find extra time to use their bidets. Most houses here have them.
