What Is a Bidet?
A bidet is a device that sprays water to cleanse the genital and anal areas after using the toilet. It’s common in many countries and comes as a stand-alone fixture, a toilet seat or attachment, a handheld hose, or a portable/travel bottle.
Common Types
- Stand-alone bidet: Separate porcelain fixture with a water spray.
- Handheld hose: Sprayer attached to toilet plumbing; budget-friendly.
- Bidet toilet seat: Replaces the seat; often includes controls and optional warm air dry.
- Bidet attachment: Slim unit under the seat with a retractable nozzle and side control.
- Travel bidet: Portable squeeze bottle with an angled nozzle for on-the-go use.
Cautions & Good Habits
- Vaginal health: Evidence is mixed. Overuse or very strong streams may disrupt natural balance for some users. Aim the spray front-to-back and use comfortable pressure.
- Hygiene of the device: Keep nozzles and surfaces clean, especially in shared bathrooms. Follow the manufacturer’s cleaning guidance.
