Specialty Definition: Bidet

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

A bidet is a low-mounted sink intended for washing the external genitalia.

Bidets are common in bathrooms of some European countries, like France.

Bidets can appear to resemble water closets or urinals by those who are unfamiliar with them. Using them in this way is a faux pas.
