A bidet is a bathroom fixture, typically made of ceramic, that is used for cleaning oneself after using the toilet. Bidets are most commonly found in Europe, Asia, and South America, but are becoming increasingly popular in North America as well.
Bidets offer a number of benefits over toilet paper, including improved hygiene, reduced risk of hemorrhoids and anal fissures, and increased comfort. Bidets are also more environmentally friendly than toilet paper, as they do not require the use of trees or water.
