Want To See Bidets In Action?
We have come across a lot of people who do not know what a bidet is or how to use one. They just can't seem to get their head around the idea of using a water-pik for the bum. So we scoured the net and compiled several of our favorite video clips of bidets doing their thing. From the classical European design to the neo-bidet (washlets) and more. If you know of a bidet video that we should post send us a request on our Contact Page, ok? Check out our growing collection of bidet videos…
What Is A Bidet…Really?
The simple answer is a butt-wash. The bidet has become a marketing term used to describe washing down there, while at the toilet. Something you probably do in the shower every day. But when you take care of it at the toilet, where the mess is made, it 
is now called a bidet. The bidet industry has come up with several gadgets to help with butt-washing at the toilet. Some of which are pretty cool. Now you may be thinking; Hey, I take care of it in the shower and I wipe the rest of the day if I need to. Butt, really think about this. If you were to pick up a pile of poo and place it on your arm, then wipe it off with your best toilet paper, would that really be enough? I think not. Does the term “skid marks” mean anything? I challenge anyone to try a bidet for a month and then go back to scraping it off with just toilet paper. Trust me; you will not go back unless you have no choice. These days that is just what toilet paper represents “no choice”.
The Bottom-line On How To Use A Bidet
The (Classic) European style bidet is generally found next to a toilet. This way after you use the toilet, it is easy to hop over for the rinse. So, after you adjust the water to your liking, you straddle this puppy and let the water do its work. Once satisfied with the results, turn off the water and dry. Drying is another issue. Some people find that toilet paper is too messy and opt for a towel. As you can see this style of bidet is not very cost effective for two reasons: the fixtures are quite expensive, and the installation and plumbing can be both difficult and expensive. Separate fixtures also take up 
significant space in the bathroom. Fast forward a few years and we come to the Washlet 
style of bolt on bidet. Warning: you may want to read the manual and strap on your helmet first. These are electronic marvels with digital controls that operate from an attached keypad, or can even be controlled from remote. You have complete control over water temperature, water pressure, seat warming, air drying, and odor elimination. Multiple spray attachments extend and withdraw as needed. Actually, once you understand which button to push, it is a no-brainer. We're talking hands free butt-washing folks. I don't know if it can get much easier. You may even save a few trees in the process as your toilet paper consumption should go to nil. The next evolution in bidet technology is the stand alone bidet-toilet floor model. These units come with all the 
washlet functionality built into them. The King in this arena is probably the Toto Neorest with a price tag at more than $5,000 dollars. Pure hands free butt-washing heaven. 
There is one other bidet style that needs to be mentioned and that is the hand-held bidet. It's a stand alone anal water pistol which hangs on the wall next to the toilet. I first encountered this style while traveling in South East Asia and I have been using one ever since. They take a little getting used to, but once you do there is no going back. They are very versatile as well. You can wash diapers, the dog, and even the toilet. For more information on how to use a bidet check out WikiHow.
