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. Here are a few easy steps to using a bidet.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
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.
Step2
Sit on your bidet after using the toilet.
Step3
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.
Step4
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.
Step5
Rinse out the bidet if it is freestanding.

on 7/5/2008 I've been hearing about this wave of bidet thing for a while, and I was thinking "what are they talking about?!, what's wrong with toilet papers now!". But, not until I decided to go and try it and find out by my self; I didn't want to spend much on something new so I did a quick web search and got one from http://www.simplebidet.com, it looked affordable, quite simple to install and operate, and looks good fitting my current toilet. Now I gotta tell you... I really got addicted to it, I don't think I can use any toilet without a bidet now; it's extremely convenient and make you feel refreshed any time you may think you need to use the toilet.

If you're saying to yourself what I used to say, you may need to do what I have done!

on 6/1/2008 I totally agree with you bidet is getting more and more popular nowadays in U.S.

The first time I ever tried bidet was from my trip to Korea. All suites had a electric bidet seat installed. I simply fell in love with it in my first experience and first thing I did when I return home was "googling" try to find reliable bidet seat. I was surprized that there were more companies selling bidet in U.S than I ever expected. I ran across UCI site selling bio bidet. Their site offers pretty well organized informaiton and comparison charts made easier which model to choose and I chose BB-1000 top of the line bidet they offer. It had all the functions competitors offer and what really caught my attention was enema function. Using it for nearly a year now, I am very pleased about the product and can't imagine myself living without one.

I take protable bidet whenever I travel now. I highly r

on 5/30/2008 I totally agree with you bidet is getting more and more popular nowadays in U.S. The first time I ever tried bidet was from my trip to Korea. All suite had a electric bidet installed there as well as Japan. I simply fell in love with it and first thing I did when I returned home was "googling" try to find reputable company selling bidet in U.S. I found UCI selling bio bidet brand and they convinced me on BB-1000 that had all bells and whisles yet pretty competitive price on. They claimed that BB-1000 is the only bidet seat with true enema funtion and man I am loving it. I take portable bidet whenever I travel nowadays. Site I found my BB-1000 was www.biobidet.com

on 4/13/2008 Not all bidets replace your entire toilet seat nor do they take up any extra floor space. Royal Fresh Bidet is compact and fits between your toilet seat and rim. Check it out at: bidetinternational.com
