My First Time Using A Bidet
As an American, I had never heard of a bidet until I traveled to Europe for the first time. I was staying in a hotel in Paris and noticed a strange toilet-like contraption next to the regular toilet. After some research, I discovered that it was a bidet, a device used for washing your private parts after using the bathroom.
How Do You Use a Bidet?
Using a bidet may seem intimidating at first, but it is actually quite simple. Here is a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Use the Toilet First
Before using the bidet, use the toilet as you normally would. This ensures that you are clean before using the bidet.
Step 2: Adjust the Water Temperature
Most bidets have a knob or lever that allows you to adjust the water temperature. Start with warm water and adjust as needed.
Step 3: Position Yourself
Sit on the bidet, facing the water jets. Some bidets may require you to straddle the bidet, while others allow you to sit like a regular toilet.
Step 4: Use the Water Jets
Turn on the water jets and adjust the water pressure to your liking. Use your hands to clean your private parts, or use a small towel or tissue if you prefer.
Step 5: Dry Yourself
Once you are finished, use a towel or toilet paper to dry yourself. Some bidets come with a built-in dryer, but these are less common.
