The bidet, the french word for pony, dates back to the 18th century. Today the bidet is installed near the toilet, so you can wash yourself after using the toilet. Male or Female, you straddel it, either facing the faucet handles or away from the wall. You can fill the bowl or wash in the spray. There's the traditional "rim-and spray" with upward spurt in the middle. Or the simpler "over the rim" |
