If you’ve never used a bidet before, you’re not alone. While bidets are widely used in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, many people in the U.S. are just starting to discover their benefits. But with growing interest in hygiene, sustainability, and bathroom comfort, bidets are becoming a smart addition to American homes.
So, what exactly is a bidet, and why are so many people switching?
What Is a Bidet?
A bidet is a bathroom fixture that uses a gentle stream of water to clean your private areas after using the toilet. Instead of relying only on toilet paper, a bidet provides a thorough, refreshing clean.
Bidets now come in several convenient forms:
- Attachment bidets that fit under your existing seat
- Electric bidet seats with high-end features like warm water, heated seats, and drying functions
- Standalone fixtures, commonly found in European bathrooms
Modern models, like those from SmartBidet, are easy to install and packed with comfort-enhancing features.
