Bidet

A bidet is a bathroom fixture designed for personal hygiene, primarily used for washing the genital and anal areas after using the toilet. 

It is common in many countries, especially in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and is considered more hygienic than using toilet paper alone.

Types of Bidets

1. Standalone Bidet – A separate fixture next to the toilet.

2. Bidet Toilet Seat – A toilet seat with a built-in bidet function.

3. Handheld Bidet Sprayer – A spray nozzle attached to the toilet water supply.

4. Bidet Attachment – A simple device added under the toilet seat.

How to Use a Bidet

For Standalone Bidets:

1. Use the toilet first.

2. Move to the bidet and sit or squat over it.

3. Adjust the water temperature and pressure (if available).

4. Use your hand to help clean the area if needed.

5. Dry with toilet paper or a towel.

For Bidet Toilet Seats or Attachments:

1. Stay seated after using the toilet.

2. Activate the bidet nozzle using the control panel or knob.

3. Adjust water pressure and temperature if needed.

4. Let the water clean you for a few seconds.

5. Use toilet paper or a built-in dryer to dry yourself.

Temperature Control: Ensure the water is not too hot to prevent burns.
