What Is a Bidet?

A bidet is a plumbing fixture or toilet attachment that uses a gentle stream of water to provide personal cleansing after using the toilet. Bidets offer a more hygienic and comfortable alternative to using toilet paper alone.

Modern bidets are available in several styles to suit different bathrooms and budgets.

Types of Bidets

Standalone Bidets

Standalone bidets are separate plumbing fixtures installed beside a toilet. They include their own faucet or spray nozzle for personal cleansing.

Bidet Toilet Seats

Bidet toilet seats replace your existing toilet seat and provide built-in water nozzles for convenient cleaning.

Many models include adjustable settings for:

• Water pressure
• Water temperature
• Nozzle position
• Heated seats

Integrated Bidet Toilets

Integrated bidet toilets combine a toilet and bidet into one complete fixture. These premium systems often include advanced comfort and hygiene features.

Common Bidet Features

Depending on the model, your bidet may include:

• Adjustable water pressure
• Warm water washing
• Heated seat
• Self-cleaning nozzle
