How to Use a Bidet
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.
- Difficulty:
- Moderately Easy
Instructions

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.

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.

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.

When I was a child we were just using washrags and towels. Honey I think the comments are even more helpful than your article maybe you could add some more information. -

Of course, the simple idea is that, rather than dry-wiping your bottom, water is essential in toilet hygiene. And while bidet is useful and fine, it takes up space in the bathroom. In Turkey, a built-in faucet at the back of the toilet's oval sitting-piece, just beneath the seat, with a separate valve on the wall functions just the same, and is a standard feature in all toilets sold in the country without exception. One minor drawback is that it is a single-valve system squirting only cold water, rather than a dual hot-cold adjustable water outlet common in bidets. In recent years, water squirting pieces with adjustable water temperature are being shipped to much relief. As for usage, after you're finished with your number two, you reach back to the wall while seated to turn on the valve and water is targeted to your bottom. After using it a couple of times, you learn to fine-tune the op

this is one of those things I've never encountered but always been curious about. Glad I got to find out the "behind the scenes" on this without actually having to use one (I think I'm just too old fashioned to give it a try...lol)

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
