What is a Bidet?
A bidet is a bathroom fixture which sits low and allows the user to clean their genitalia, anus and inner buttocks. Its name comes from the French language and means “pony” due to the way a user sits on it. It was originally invented in the late 17th to the early 18th century and there is some controversy over who was the actual inventor. Originally a bedroom fixture, by the 1900s, advances in plumbing infrastructure allowed the bidet to move to its proper place in the bathroom. In the 1960s, electronic bidets made their first appearance, allowing a toilet seat bidet to be attached to any existing toilet. This advancement allows people who don’t have room for both a toilet and a bidet to combine the two into one space-saving unit. Read more
