We were having dinner with our Italian friends Andrea & Diane at our house and after several bottles of wine I had to ask the bidet question.
Do people really use the Bidet or does it just sit there?
Oh, yes... we use it everyday! All the time... So then I had ask more questions (Children might not want to continue here...)
How do you use it? I know we have all seen one and probably just turned on the water, checked it out and then turned it off. Well... here goes "Bidet 101" After you do the business you are supposed to wipe a couple of times until clean. Then you move over to the Bidet and turn on the water to the right temperature. Face the nozzle down and don't have the nozzle full blast. Then sit over the Bidet with you back to the wall and reach around and re-adjust the nozzle to hit the right spots. Sit and enjoy a few moments. Then use a bar of soap or there are now special rear end soft soaps and wash the derriere so everything is happy. Then dry off. Evidently there usually are small towel rails just above the bidet with a small Bidet towel on it. (So, two valuable lessons here... beware of Bidet soap bar and never grab the small towel above the bidet the dry your face!) Andrea is helping an American client redo a property here and they did not want to add bidets in the new bathrooms but Andrea insisted otherwise they would really hurt their resale value down the road! Its a MUST!!!
People in Italy do not shower everyday and the Bidet is also a way to keep the special parts clean. Hair can get a little dirty but its said that the oil is good for the scalp. They also wash their feet in it too. Now you know...

Well, well, well.......Ken & I must inform you that when we lived in England we had a bidet installed in 2 of our houses from 1984-1996. The first one lived in the garden shed at the bottom of the garden until we got round to having it installed - it was avocado green (of course, & we didn't use it at that stage!). When it arrived in the bathroom it proved v. useful as our boys were 7 & 11 & it was great for feet washing as well as 4 what it was intended although if they were feeling mischievous one of them would turn the tap up high & tell the other to sit on the bidet. Fortunately we never had to go to the hospital with burnt butt boys!We also had one in a house we rented in Canada in 1996 & Ken tells me he had one when he lived in Australia in 1954!! So now you have been introduced...enjoy!
