The Origins of the Bidet

Originating in France, the bidet was just a bowl that you squat over which then evolved into a separate porcelain toilet with taps, but you still had to squat or straddle it.

In the mid-1900s, UK toilet manufacturers improved the bidet as a porcelain bathroom device, but the UK did not adopt it and it was mostly exported to other countries. Bidet means small horse, and the bidet is so-called due to the straddling position one takes in order to use one.

 

The Modern Bidet is used in many of the worlds religious cultures and is know as the Muslim Shower used before Wudu ceremony The latest trend is to have a Wall Hung Bidet giving you a lot more floor space.
