Lets be honest: Do you even know what a bidet is used for? While bidets are widely seen all around Europe, its practically impossible to spot one in the United States. But thanks to brands like Tushy, bidet attachments are becoming more and more popular, thanks to their ease of installation on home toilets.

With a name derived from the French word for pony or little horse, which refers to the position people take when using it (basically, its like straddling a horse), the bidet was first invented in France in the 18th century. Similar in design to a toilet bowl, its basically a basin thats designed to be sat upon (or straddled, depending on what part of your body you want to rinse off) in order to wash ones nether regions after toileting, explained Jo Hayes , an etiquette consultant and the founder of Etiquette Expert. In other words, theres no need for using toilet paper.
