Expert Answer

The bidet can be used however it best works for you. However, typically the bidet is used in place of toilet paper. Some bidets will have a "dry feature" on the bidet, or if you feel more comfortable, you can use toilet paper after using the bidet to dry off.

People of all ages and genders can use the bidet! It's not made specifically for a certain gender.

Expert Answer

No, if the bidet is a stand-alone unit, you are not supposed to use the bidet to flush any human waste. The stand-alone unit is solely meant to rinse and clean off. However, some bidets are built into a toilet seat. In that case, you would use the toilet and the bidet all in one.

Yes, all used bidet water flows to the sewer system like water from your sink or toilet. The bidet is supplied with new, clean water for every use.

Question

Some lady used a bidet to rinse my hair after dyeing it. Is that unsafe? I feel humiliated. Should I report her?

Community Answer

Of course, you hadn't given her permission to wash your hair in a bidet. You have your rights, and if you felt made fun of, you should report the issue.
