How to Use a Bidet: A Beginner's Guide

Bidets around the globe

Many cultures around the globe use bidets in their daily routines. Although the term bidet is French, it loosely means "pony". However, bidets are something that you must straddle like a small horse. It was the Italians who took the bidet to heart. Since 1975, all bathrooms in Italy must be equipped with a bidet. Bidets are found most often in Europe's south, and this is why the craze has never been popularized.



Bidets are toilets that come with a water-cleaning apparatus and are very common in South America, South East Asia, the Middle East, the Indian sub-continent, and SouthEast Asia.


Japan is perhaps the country that we think of most when it comes to bidet/toilet technology.

Japanese bidet toilets

The Japanese have spent more effort and time to improve toilet technology in general than any other country, as evidenced by the invention of the hybrid bidet toilet in the 1980s.


This toilet has all the same features as regular toilets, but with advanced features such as a water jet and deodorizing spray, and a seat warming function. A Japanese survey of consumer spending found that nearly 80% of Japanese households have this type of bidet toilet.

Bidets have many benefits

There are clear benefits to owning and using one.


  • Be more environmentally conscious by using less toilet paper and reducing waste

  • Spend less on toilet paper to save money

  • Toilet blockages are reduced - no need to use the plunger

  • Patients with hemorrhoids and fissures are less likely to suffer from severe bleeding.
