A bidet is a bathroom fixture designed for personal hygiene, typically used after using the toilet. It resembles a low sink and allows users to wash their genital and anal areas with water. Bidets can be standalone units or integrated into toilets, often featuring adjustable water temperature and pressure. Using a bidet can promote cleanliness and comfort, reducing the need for toilet paper. They are popular in many countries, especially in Europe and Asia, and are gaining recognition in North America for their environmental benefits and potential to improve personal hygiene.
