What Is A Bidet?
The bidet (pronouced bee-day) was invented around 1700 and is an unknown bathroom fixture for many home owners. Even for those who understand the function of the bidet it’s still something that many people are unsure of placing in their bathrooms. What will the neighbours think?So what is a bathroom bidet used for? This depends entirely on where you live in the world. In Europe (mainly France) a bidet is used for anything from cleansing your rear end with water after using a toilet to washing your feet before you go to bed. The most common use for a bidet is the former one - a jet of water is used to clean your behind after you’ve made use of the toilet. It’s seen as a more sanitary way of cleaning yourself.Does this seem somewhat odd? Bear in mind it’s common practice in certain cultures to use your own hand and then simply rinse it in water afterwards - a reason why some cultures will only shake with certain hands! This makes the bidet seem super clean now doesn’t it?
